So Chang Wei, the second son of the boss of the mainlander crime gang Bamboo Union gets married, says Sunday’s Liberty Times on p14.
A number of former and current leading crime figures were also in attendance, prompting a big police turnout. Daddy Chang, who is wanted by police but is apparently overseas, participated via internet hook-up.
And guess who sent their best wishes for the happy couple?
Yep. Lien Chan. James Soong. Wang Jin-pyng.

I find this utterly uninteresting and gossipy.
Obviously zhujianlun has the spare time to read Taiwan’s entertainment newspaper, in which case I’m sure he can spare a moment to get a higher high on the one, the only Anti-PRC News instead?

What do you have to do to get “best wishes” sent by politicians for your wedding?

I think given the recent kmt/CCP lovefest, it is relevant to understand his background. link from quick google search.
And major gangsters’ funerals also get flowers and stuff from Lian, Soong, Ma, and even Chen Shui-bian, Annette etc. Used to shock me when I still believed the greens wanted to be tough on organized crimes, but not anymore. This is Taiwan, local politicians all know local gangsters.
