After marrying Lai in 1986, Wu maintained her low-key lifestyle even after her husband entered politics in the 1990s. According to local media reports, Wu applied to be transferred from Taiwan Power Company's Tainan office to Hsinta Power Plant in Kaohsiung after Lai was elected Tainan mayor in 2010 to avoid any conflict of interest.
Lai Ching-te, whose coal miner father died while he was a toddler, took over as leader of Taiwan's ruling party on Wednesday, promising to address voter dissatisfaction and push through reforms ahead of a presidential election in less than 12 months. ... After Lai's father died in a coal mine disaster, Lai and his five siblings were brought up by their mother, who made ends meet by taking day job after day job. Born in present-day New Taipei, he was two at the time of the tragedy. ... Married and with two sons, Lai is more socially conservative than Tsai, a progressive but technocratic leader who has spearheaded reforms regarding indigenous rights and same-sex marriage, and established climate targets. He is also seen as an activist. In recent years, however, the 63-year-old has stayed away from making strident political statements and evolved into a statesmanlike vice president.
China sailed an aircraft carrier group through the sensitive Taiwan Strait on Sunday, the same day Tsai announced her running mate, former premier Lai Ching-te, who has angered Beijing with his pro-independence comments.
More than once when William Lai was a small boy, a passing typhoon blew the roof of his home clean away. It's a recollection that brings a wry smile to Taiwan's vice president, who grew up in the small coalmining hamlet of Wanli perched on the island's far north. Lai's father died in an accident in the pits when he was just 2 years old, leaving his mother to raise six children alone. Money was tight. Instead of toys, Lai had banyan trees to climb; instead of new clothes, he wore cast-offs; he didn't have privilege, he had to prove himself.
