Chapter 14 Three pairs of shoes and a broken leg

The interesting thing about Americans being an official is that whether you want to be the president, the mayor, the governor, or a large or small congressman, there is one thing in common: that is, you have to work hard to campaign and canvass votes. The most important thing in campaigning for votes is to please the voters. If you don’t please the voters, no one will give you votes.In the United States this is absolutely guaranteed.I heard that in the history of the United States, there was an incumbent president who wanted to be re-elected after the first term. His opponent was far less famous than the incumbent president. He didn't pay attention to his opponents at all, and had fun in the White House as usual.As the election drew to a close, his advisers told him that the incumbent had gone from an initial 78% approval rating in opinion polls to a tie with his opponents.His advisers were very anxious, and repeatedly reminded the incumbent president to condescend to go out of office to canvass votes among the people.The confident Mr. President would not bother to say anything, and finally the election was announced, and he lost to his opponent 34:52.The incumbent president does not believe this fact, but Congress has proved that there is no evidence to show doubts in the general election, so this overconfident president regretfully moved out of the White House.Since the founding of the United States more than 200 years ago, there have been more than 40 presidents. Only the first President Washington was elected to the presidency without relying on canvassing.In addition, no one dares to say to voters so arrogantly that I will enter the White House without your voting.

When Li Wanruo first ran for office, she wanted to reach out to voters as much as possible.After the news of her election came out, the other opponents were all representatives of local old residents. They had deep roots and a broad base of voters. What's more, if Li Wan is a Chinese—it belongs to the kind of outsider concept that cannot be erased in the minds of the old residents.But as Americans usually say, the election is a lively drama, anything can happen, there is a reasonable result that people expect, and there is another kind of unexpected surprise.Maybe it's the reason for majoring in social work, or maybe it's because of the oriental cultural background, Li Wanruo adheres to the tenet of meeting three-point confidants.And based on this, a tense and arduous face-to-face battle was launched.

After meeting with the public about the candidate's political platform and carrying out targeted organization and mobilization within your sphere of influence, the next thing to do is to raise campaign funds.Different campaigns in U.S. elections have different regulations and limits on donations, and election contributions are also known as political contributions.Within the statutory scope and allowed amount, your donation to the campaign is considered legal; if you violate the statutory standards, your further donation to the campaign is illegal. Once verified, both the donor and the recipient be punished by law.And once the donations become a scandal, the smell of money in their politics becomes particularly enticing.If it fits the rules of the game of political donations, then everything looks sanctimonious.

This is also American. When Li Wanruo came to the United States, she was just an overseas student from Taiwan, China, and she was only a civil servant of the Ministry of Social Welfare when she ran for the election. Speaking only at the civilian level.But the American political system is weird. You really have money, but you can’t take your personal deposits and shove them into the election team when you are running for election, let alone you want to pay voters for votes. If someone I tell you, and you're screwed.All donations are not stuffed into the pockets of the candidates, but must be reported to the government election agency by check (not in cash). There must be a statement of income and expenditure, and there must be no concealment. Those who conceal will be severely punished by law. .People who want to run for power generally don't make such jokes.But political tricks have never stopped.Li Wanruo laughed and said a funny thing she saw: when a gentleman was running for a certain state legislator, because he was evenly matched with his opponents in the election, he was afraid of losing the opportunity by a few votes, so he paid out of his own money and asked several friends to donate in their names. As a result, he was not careful enough in his small actions, and was later found out by the court that he had been in a lawsuit for two years, so he staged an unlucky farce in which he was sent to prison without being a state senator.

Li Wanruo is upright and forthright by nature, and has a love of helping others since he was a child, but now he is running for a member of parliament, and he has the cheek to ask others for money-if you can’t donate campaign funds, you can’t run for office, which means you won’t be elected lose first.And usually whoever raises more money means whoever is more likely to win.On the election field, you must first extend your hand, and if you do not extend your hand, you have to retract your high political head.This stumped Li Wanruo.For this reason, she yelled for a long time in front of her husband.

Let me do whatever you want, but don't open your mouth to ask for money in front of acquaintances!This is really embarrassing!Li Wanruo was so anxious about this, that he almost went to the election committee to withdraw his application for election. The husband shook his head when facing his wife who never bowed his head to beg for help: I ​​can do anything for you, but the only thing I can't do for you... Ouch, why don't you run for office!Good-hearted husband.Li Wanruo couldn't find any words to complain.No matter what you say, you have to bite the bullet and ask others for money-not many Chinese participate in politics in the United States.To a certain extent, this is more difficult than fighting the opponent with real guns and knives.

This is what Li Wanruo felt in her heart. No one will give you a donation without first looking for acquaintances, and this type of donation is mainly used for campaign promotion. Although it is not comparable to the one or two billion dollars raised by the presidential election, tens of thousands of dollars are still needed.There are good things like acquaintances or good friends writing checks to you, but they are too few.I have been to the United States and Canada, and I thought that there are many rich people there, and they must be very generous, but they are more stingy than us Chinese.In the western world, even if very close friends are together, whoever spends a hundred dollars is definitely a lot of money.

No matter how embarrassing it is, when it comes to such a big event as the election, I have to let embarrassing Qingzhe stand aside.And the embarrassing thing had to be done with great fanfare.People with experience in campaigning told Li Wanruo that it is best to raise funds in the form of a fundraising dinner, where you treat guests to dinner, and after a lively conversation, everyone writes a check to the candidate on the spot. The first dinner fundraiser was held at Bell Beau Restaurant.Whites and Latinos, although they do not donate much, the donation amount is $25 per person.But Li Guiruo is very happy with this effect, because the amount of money is one thing, but if one more person donates money, it proves that you have one more voter support.This is crucial.On this occasion, many Chinese compatriots also went.Li Wanruo, who was always not stage frightened in front of everyone, blushed this time because she didn't know what to say.

She is so abnormal for such an eloquent female heroine, but she brought a burst of good-natured laughter to the somewhat restrained dinner party.After laughing, everyone's hearts seemed to brighten up.So you said everything I said that Chinese people must go first to participate in politics. Li Wanruo's participation in the election is an honor for us Chinese, and it is also a sacred event for Chinese compatriots. No matter what you say, you must fully support it. Doesn’t the Chinese have a saying that they are powerful and rich? pay!That's right, everyone expresses their hearts, the money is not much, and being able to make a contribution means that you have done your best to win the hearts of the Chinese people!

Someone gave Li Wanruo an on-site publicity and agitation, which immediately aroused enthusiastic responses from the audience. Today is the first fundraising for Lily's campaign, and everyone is not an outsider. I propose: $25 per person, how about making a contribution for Lily? OK, we agree, shall we give it now? certainly. Well, Lily takes mine. This is mine, Lily. The next scene was beyond Li Wanruo's expectation, and the enthusiastic and enthusiastic scene made her eyes fill with tears.Because nearly 200 guests at that time, almost all extended their warm hands to her.And a very important point is: In the matter of election, more money and less money sometimes have no effect. The one who gives ten dollars and the one who gives one thousand dollars are the same vote for you.As a grassroots and middle-level election, experienced candidates also pay special attention to the effect of less money and more people, which means that the support of your mass base is very broad, and the possibility of your victory is greater.

After the opening of the situation for the first time, Li Wanruo was overjoyed!This is because she really saw how great the hope and enthusiasm of the Chinese compatriots for her participation in politics is!There is nothing more precious and worth cherishing than this. She was so excited that she stayed up all night, and her husband Baohe was also so excited. The second fundraiser will be held as scheduled, and the place chosen is more eye-catching. This is the Luminariea restaurant next to the famous golf course in Montgomery.It is located at the highest point of commercial and leisure activities in Vinh City, and it is set off by the nearby golf course. Being able to hold large-scale events here shows a kind of grandeur.On that day, hundreds of people of Chinese descent from all walks of life came to participate in the fundraising meeting. The entire restaurant was packed, and many people could only stand in the long back of the restaurant.Enthusiastic person Liu Bing specially printed a batch of exquisite and eye-catching promotional materials for Li Wanruo's church planning. Who is Li Wanruo on the cover?This is the first Chinese in the Montgomery area to appear as a candidate for parliament. The majority of Chinese people feel excited and encouraged, so they regard participation in this fundraising dinner as a celebration that proves that the status of Chinese in the local area has been improved. Lily's election is of great significance, I want to take a good lead!Li Huruo's seniors, Wang Guirong and Fan Qianglin, handed over a $1,000 check to Li Wanruo on the spot.The Chinese are supposed to save face, but when someone took the lead, the whole atmosphere was created.So you donate and I donate, and everyone’s enthusiasm is unprecedentedly high. According to an old overseas Chinese living in Chinatown in Los Angeles, it is the first time in the history of a fundraising meeting like Lily’s. It shows that the majority of Chinese in the United States are very supportive. One's own compatriots go to the political arena to take charge of power. According to the U.S. election law, the list of those who have donated more than $100 must be announced in the media. In addition to the amount of donations, the names and addresses of the donors must be reported to the Gan government.This report is public.That way, campaign opponents would have access to the donor profile, and if supporters were racially biased, they would be challenged.Criticize the candidates for not representing the common interests of the residents.Because there are many Chinese people donating money and the number is high, they don’t want to name all Chinese people in the public donation list, so Li Wanruo’s fundraising committee determined a donation figure of 99 yuan per person before soliciting donations.In this way, reporting the cumulative total to the government will not reveal the amount of Chinese donations. The Luminaries organization was a great success, and both local Chinese newspapers and English newspapers reported in detail.Some Chinese who did not participate in the movement also called or sent checks directly to Li Guiruo after learning about it.Among them, a gentleman named You Junda attached a passionate letter to Li Wanruo when he sent the check. He said that he worked in a construction company in Puerto Rico, and he was so happy to hear that his own Chinese was elected as a member of the Montgomery City Council. People say that this is a great joy for the Chinese to feel proud in the United States.He said that he specially sent one week's salary to support Li Wanruo's election. Although the money was not much, it was a wish of a Chinese.This Mr. You did not speak English very well, so he wrote Li Wanruo's name in Chinese on the payee of the check, which was rejected by the bank.But Li Wanruo valued Mr. You's special gift very much, so she called You to discuss it.As soon as You heard it, he immediately said: You keep that check as a souvenir, and I will send you a new one immediately.No, I'll send it to you, tell me your address... When Li Wanruo took the new check from Mr. You, her eyes filled with tears.After obtaining the consent of Mr. You, she pasted the voided check on the wall of her campaign headquarters. In this way, she wanted to thank all her compatriots who supported her. The prelude to the election has already begun.With the support of everyone, the tens of thousands of yuan needed for the campaign was also raised in excess.And this is just the starting point of the entire campaign. To be successful in the campaign, there are still many thresholds that need to be crossed. To be precise, it is far from the time when Li Wanruo can rest easy.It is not enough, or even very enough, for the ethnic Chinese to participate in politics to win the support of the majority of American voters.Such examples and lessons are not rare. Some of our domestic propaganda often lack a comprehensive introduction to the American society as a whole. Liang Zhu, but the real situation is that Americans won’t even let you Chinese scientists touch the really top scientific research institutions and cutting-edge projects, especially those scientific research work that have an impact on the whole world, so they won’t really believe it. You Chinese will believe in the American country as much as they believe in Christianity. Asians make up a negligible 2 percent of the U.S. population.California, which has the largest population of Asian businessmen in the United States, only has 12%. If you want to gain a foothold in the American political arena, no matter how powerful you are, can you handle the overwhelming majority of the population? It is not that many Asian immigrants have tried the road of politics. One of the important reasons why most of the losers are that they cannot compete with local forces in the end.What Li Wanruo faced was still the pressure from the powerful foreign and native Americans who were several times stronger than the Chinese.Winning some votes from the opponent's sphere of influence is an important strategy for Li Guiruo's campaign.She thinks she has the confidence to complete the work in this area. With her past and current social work experience and experience, especially in the county social welfare department, she feels that as long as she is honest and hardworking, she can integrate well with native Americans. , even those Americans with personality may be more enthusiastic than Chinese supporters! Li Wanruo's judgment was not wrong.The key question is whether you can convince the native-born American residents to trust you. Once the psychological distance disappears, Uncle Toms are the easiest to fall in love with.They often support you with behaviors beyond your imagination and become your hardcore voters. That being said, it takes some real research to become your hardcore voter.Li Wanruo, as the first local Chinese political candidate, had no experience to learn from among his compatriots, so he had to start from his own practice and groping slowly.She realized from her experience working in the social welfare work department that if you want other ethnic groups to understand and support your work, you must study what those ethnic groups are thinking and how to serve the public more effectively.Therefore, Li Wanruo first highlighted the issues that the citizens of Mongolia are most concerned about in her policy outline. She proposed to firmly oppose the construction of casinos, maintain public security in the urban area, promote racial harmony, support planned and high-quality municipal construction, and focus on family and social harmony. The health of women and children, helping new immigrants integrate into mainstream society and other issues.These election promises not only reflect that Li Wanruo, as a candidate, considers issues from the perspective of a garden-style city like Mengshi, but also reflects her image of a woman with both Eastern and Western cultures, which immediately captured the hearts of citizens of different ethnicities. .When Li Wanruo's policy agenda and her personal image on promotional materials appeared in front of the general public, everyone praised in unison: This Chinese woman is trustworthy, and we are willing to vote for her. In the elections in the United States, it is very important for candidates to give full play to their personal talents among the voters, especially eloquence, which often enables you to be directly elected by voters.However, ordinary Chinese will encounter three major problems when they run for election in the United States: one is language, how many voters can speak pure American English well.Ms. Zhang Zhixiang, the first U.S. ambassador to the White House, came to the White House because her English can be said to be the best Americanization of the world—of course, this is not the only advantage of her being an official in the White House, but an English It will be very difficult for poor foreigners or ethnic minorities to develop in American officialdom.The second obstacle is that there is no grassroots foundation.The so-called grassroots base refers to the mass base without native American people, that is, ordinary Chinese immigrants, no matter whether you are the first generation or the second or third generation immigrants, there are not many people who really integrate with the native American people, or too many. Disaster.In the United States, political elections are usually bottom-up, that is, ordinary people vote first, then you mayors and governors, and then you have congressmen and presidents. Also insurmountable.The third obstacle to Chinese participation in politics is the lack of oratory skills.Take a look at those outstanding politicians in the history of the United States. The reason why they are outstanding, apart from their personal conduct, is that they are all eloquent orators.There is a popular saying among Americans that it doesn't matter how much you can do, what matters is how much you can express what you want to do.The Chinese have cultivated the so-called virtue of talking less and doing more since ancient times, but they will suffer a lot when they come to the United States.As an American political candidate, if you want to defeat your opponent, you usually have to make your voters turn their attention to you.And one of the most decisive ways to do this is to convince your voters that only you can bring the most benefits and benefits to them. Therefore, in every election in the United States, no matter how much virtue the candidate has accumulated in his ancestors, or how many bad deeds he has personally had, but at this moment, the image of the candidate among the majority of voters is so modest and so Comprehensible, and can always show the appearance of dedication all the time.They usually have two major weapons: one is to shake hands and kiss tirelessly; the other is to make promises endlessly and even brazenly.When Bush Jr. and Al Gore were running for president of the United States, we could see two suave and romantic rich men everywhere in the TV cameras, becoming civilians and constantly hugging and kissing old men and women. Pay attention to using this time to show your face in schools and orphanages for the elderly. It is said that there is the easiest way to get voters' support and emotional tears-this is the art of campaigning. Of course, Li Guiruo cannot fail to pay attention to the natural flaws of the Chinese in politics and these campaigning arts.Fortunately, she had more than ten years of experience and experience in mainstream American society before the election, so she is well versed in the mysteries of the art of election.At the same time, one of the most important reasons why Li Wanruo was able to calmly participate in political campaigns is that she has an Americanized language, and has a solid foundation from ordinary foreign students to social workers in hospitals and employees of the social welfare department of the county government. Different oratorical talents.As early as in her teenage years, Li Wanruo was a communicator in school, she liked to show off, and she liked to do things that others would not dare to take risks, so she became eloquent. However, heroes are not accidental.If Li Li can participate in politics on behalf of the Chinese in the United States, apart from her shouldering the heavy responsibility of avenging the shame of several generations of Chinese predecessors, she cannot deny her own unique advantages.But just having these advantages is not enough.Li Guiruo's intelligence and success lies in her understanding of what Americans and mainstream society need. Hospitals, social welfare departments and schools are the three places Li Guiruo is familiar with.She herself has many years of practical experience in social welfare work. Li Wanruo once again took off her official uniform as a civil servant, and publicized to the residents her policy speech on improving the transparency of social welfare and building apartments for the elderly. The language was tender and affectionate, and the eyes of all the elderly residents were filled with enthusiasm. Li Wanruo has a son and a daughter, so she is very familiar with the nearby schools, and the delay in parent-teacher meetings in the past has now become a valuable asset for her campaign. Wow, are you Anhur's mother?Great, we have your back! Helen is a good student, very good.You are her mother, you must be excellent, we must vote for you. When Li Guiruo heard such praise, she couldn't express how much gratitude she felt towards her children. The face-to-face work in the community still cannot determine the outcome of the election. Because Americans are accustomed to privatization and liberalization, this requires candidates to go as far as possible, that is, you should try to communicate with those who are willing to vote. Meet.As the saying goes, there is a three-point love when meeting, and Americans also pay attention to this.You say hello, say I am willing to do something for you, and they will immediately have a good impression of you.If Li Wan sincerely went to visit those residents who either met or never met.This move is commonly known as worshiping votes. The success or failure of local elections largely determines whether your votes are successful. When I interviewed Ms. Li Wanruo, she was full of emotions when talking about the experience of ticket worship. I'm usually competitive and try to save face.If you let me stand on the big podium, I don't feel a little bit of stage fright, and my performance will only get better and better.Also, another thing I like to do is reach out to the electorate at large, which is to go door to door and ask for votes.The so-called ticket-seeking is to go to someone's door to ask them to vote for you.No one else can help with this matter, and neither can my husband Chen Baohe. He is even more stage frightened than me. It is already difficult for him to set up a stall on the street to get voters to register.I tried to ask him to visit the door with me to pay a ticket, but he firmly refused, saying that he would not go for this matter.But this does not affect me to go from house to house by myself, and I can still vividly remember the scene.I took my own promotional materials and started knocking on doors one by one.The United States has a household registration system. Unless you have registered with the government as a candidate, you can visit voters door-to-door. Americans already hate strangers knocking on the door and disturbing them. If you knock on someone’s door unexpectedly, they will not be happy to see you. .But since I am a candidate and want to win the votes of the residents, I have to knock on their doors.They couldn't hear the knock on the door, and they didn't know if anyone was there.Once I knocked three times but no one opened the door. I wanted to knock one last time and if someone answered, I would go to the next house.Maybe the last knock was a bit louder, and the people inside came out and opened the door. I was very happy, thinking that my running was not in vain.Unexpectedly, after the resident opened the door with a bang, seeing that I was a yellow-skinned Oriental, he became even more angry, and closed the door with a bang.At that time, anger and humiliation were intertwined, and tears gushed from my eyes.I held my clenched fist high in the air, trying to knock on the door of that resident to make him understand, but I thought that there were still so many residents whose doors I needed to knock on with a sincere smile. As a representative of Chinese descent, I went to participate in the American political arena to run for the congressman Yun goal. I suppressed the anger in my heart, wiped away the tears on my face, pulled myself together, and went to another household with the bitter smile that only I knew. Residents knock on the door... When Li Wanruo said this, she covered her face with her hands, and I saw the tears of past humiliation flowing down her fingers... Sorry.She immediately wiped her eyes to cover up, and continued to tell me about that unforgettable campaign experience.It should be said that most American residents are civilized and friendly to us Chinese.Situations like the one above are individual.But the thing of being rejected is not once or twice.Later I learned how to deal with the residents of the door.For example, Vinh City is a city in a hilly area, and the residents are scattered on various hills. Even if you walk, you can't walk from bottom to top, because you will be exhausted if you don't run a few houses.Later, I changed my car to the top of the mountain first, and then went down one by one.There are also many skills in time. In the morning, I usually visit the elderly and retire at home.You can visit those office workers at night and on holidays.You can't go to Easter and several special holidays in the United States, or people will hate you.It should not be too late at night, it should be just right, it is best for you to go in when people are ready to take a nap after eating.In addition, what language and expression you use after knocking on the door is very important.Generally, if it’s in the morning, you have to say: Good morning, I’m asking for votes from you. My name is Lily, and I’m running for the city council this term. I ask you to vote for me. I don’t know what questions you have for me. I come now to ask for your opinion.etc. At first I talked a lot when I saw a family, for fear that I might not introduce myself clearly, but then my campaign manager said that you should not talk too much.Because one is that it will arouse people’s resentment, and the other is that you don’t feel how long you stood there at the moment you opened the door. That’s because you are talking with a mission and some kind of passion, but others are different, they listen a lot It will be boring and take up his time.So I have to learn to use the shortest language, to express what I want to express as clearly as possible in the shortest time, so as to leave a good first impression on people.Easier said than done.Sometimes a resident doesn't want to hear what you have to say at all, so he waves his hand and says, "Okay, okay, isn't it that you want to be elected as a member?"Well, then I will vote for you.Some, on the contrary, enthusiastically ask you to sit down in the house, and then ask you many, many questions, such as whether you can bring any benefits to his family after you take office, for example, he is a local resident, and he will ask if you can Serving the community as a whole after you took office?And when you encounter this kind of situation, you also have to learn to save your time while being enthusiastic, otherwise you will not be able to go to several places in a day. In short, you have to play by ear and focus on enthusiasm, but you can't be too hot or too close.Sometimes I managed to squeeze out a good time to go to a community, but most of them voted for people at home. At this time, I stuffed the prepared materials under their door, and never stuffed them into the mailbox—the mailbox is protected by law in the United States. Yes, it is against the law for you to put things in other people's mailboxes casually.And often some residents who received my promotional materials call and ask me to present some problems to them face to face. At this time, no matter how busy or tired you are, it is better to take a trip.Because such votes are generally relatively stable, you will have to suffer a little more at this time, who made you a candidate.As an elected official in the United States, you have to be prepared to endure hardships, especially if you are new to politics. Who will recognize you?You are the current president, as long as you think the body is not to his liking, he will not buy it from you.Like when I first entered the political arena and ran for a city councilor, the residents would think in their hearts, who knows whether you will be a loser or a winner after working hard on you for a long time!So everything depends on the candidate's own efforts, on your courage, hard work, hard work and hard work.Any election in the United States, whether it is a general election or a minor election, is very fierce, and the candidates must go all out to succeed.So in order to get in touch with voters as much as possible, I almost spent most of my time in this kind of face-to-face voting work.Regardless of the wind and rain, regardless of the scorching sun, I persisted in running one community and one school district.There was a period of rain in the area of ​​Mengcheng, so I thought I could not waste time because of this, so I went to visit residents' homes in the rain.When many residents saw me appearing in front of them drenched like a drenched chicken, they were very moved and said that we would vote for you based on your Lily's fast breeding spirit.When the results of the general election came out, I found out that I did really well in those few days when I prayed for votes in the rain. Almost everyone voted for me... Knowing the truth is that hard work pays off. Li Wanruo was willing to work tirelessly to follow the mass line and won wide acclaim from the citizens.The vast majority of Chinese compatriots who lacked the awareness of participating in politics have come forward to support her election.So there was this story of three pairs of shoes and a broken leg.The three pairs of shoes are about the fact that Li Wanruo himself broke through three pairs of sneakers because he asked for votes from the residents.From the fact that she was able to run out three pairs of sneakers in a few months, it can be seen that she has suffered a lot for the campaign.However, this is only the hard work on the surface, and the psychological pain she endured cannot be expressed in words. During the vote-calling period, there was a street inhabited by many ethnic Chinese, so you followed each other, and they spontaneously formed a support group for Li Wanruo’s campaign, and posted photos of Li Wanruo’s face and posters with promotional texts in front of and behind their houses. The campaign sign is eye-catching and has a prominent theme, which is a beautiful scenery for Chinese Americans.At that time, some old compatriots were moved to tears when they saw it. They said that they should learn to put Lily's promotional signs in front of and behind their houses when they go home, so that the people in the city can see that we Chinese also have talents and courage to lead the United States. However, in the eyes of Li Liuruo's opponents, this kind of campaigning is as terrible as seeing someone digging their graves.So during the very critical period of the election, there was a discordant and tense atmosphere in Rongshi City.Those signs with large photos of Li Wanruo were suddenly pulled out overnight, or painted with various colors to make it unsightly.Apparently it was all planned and organized.But there are few ways to stop such behavior.The only way is to unplug it and plug it in again, and if you paint it bad, I will post it for you to see. Dr. Zhou Xi'ang, who lived on a high slope in Pei City, was a stranger to Li Wanruo. But because someone pulled out the sign he had planted in the backyard, Dr. Zhou was very angry and vowed to fight those vandals to the end.And those who deliberately didn't want Li Wanruo to come to power pulled out Dr. Zhou's sign in their backyard three times in a row.Doctor Zhou came up with another trick. He simply made a very large signboard and hung it on the top of the highest mountain in Meng City.Looking at the particularly eye-catching signboard, Dr. Zhou said to people very proudly: At this moment, I am afraid that no one will be able to steal my campaign signboard.Doctor Zhou knew that those who stole cards were active at night, and it was not easy to catch cards on such a high cliff.Unfortunately, when Dr. Zhou stepped down the mountain, he stepped on the ground and broke a leg... When Li Guiruo learned of Dr. Zhou's righteous deeds and misfortunes, he rushed to visit this good compatriot.But Mr. Zhou Xi'ang smiled nonchalantly and said to Li Wanruo: As long as you can be elected, I am willing to break another leg.Li Wanruo was very excited by the sacrifice of his compatriots.At that time, when Li Wanruo entered the political arena, an active supporter like Mr. Zhou Xi'ang was particularly precious to the entire Chinese political participation movement.
