Challenges and Growth: Changing the Image of Public Figures.
On Valentine's Day, Taipei Mayor Chiang Wan-an released a video called "Trap Challenge". On this special day, he chose a challenge, a challenge that was different from the atmosphere of Valentine's Day, and he wanted to challenge not his opponents in the political arena, but his solidified image - "straight man of steel". This challenge has attracted a lot of attention, not only because the change in the image of the mayor of Taipei as a public figure is important for his own political career, but also because it touches on the question that many people may face: how to change the stereotype of others? How to present a new image in public? These problems are not only Jiang Wanan's personal problems, but also the challenges faced by many people.
As a Capricorn, he has always been considered not romantic enough, and has even been called a "straight man" representative. The solidification of this image not only affects his personal image, but may also affect his image in the political arena. Therefore, Jiang Wanan decided to come back to the city and have a game with his colleagues to see who could get rid of the title of "Straight Man of Steel". Behind this challenge is Jiang Wanan's reflection and self-challenge on his own image, and it is also a way for him to show himself to the outside world. He does not want to be defined simply as a "straight man", but wants to show a more colorful image, an image with both humor and intelligence, an image with both determination and warmth. Therefore, he chose this special day, this special challenge, to show a new self to the outside world.
The challenge is not a physical challenge, but a psychological challenge. In the process of challenge, Jiang Wanan faced various trap problems, trying to change his image with humor, wit and self-ridicule. For example, when asked "I'm different today", he answered "hair" without hesitation, and explained, "You can't be wrong as long as you answer hair, even if it's not hair, you have to express your love with actions, strong love!" He also borrowed a seat from a colleague to teach, and the embarrassing action made people laugh. In another question, when asked, "Do you think this person is good-looking?" At that time, he changed his previous calmness, changed his answer again and again, and finally swore that "I must be the best answer to wait a minute, no matter how I take the test." However, when the final answer was revealed, he wrote, "Not bad! But I didn't even notice", the embarrassment at this time made him stunned for a moment, and also made the audience feel his real reaction in the face of the challenge. These challenges not only test Jiang Wanan's wisdom and sense of humor, but more importantly, they test his perception and attitude towards his own image. Through these challenges, Jiang Wanan not only has to change the impression of others, but also to change his own perception of himself, to dare to accept his own shortcomings, to dare to face his weaknesses, to dare to challenge his comfort zone, in order to truly achieve a change in his image.
In the midst of challenges, Jiang Wanan showed an attitude of being willing to accept challenges and keep growing. Although his answers to some questions were not perfect and even a little embarrassing, he dared to face his shortcomings and tried to change his image with humor and wit. This attitude of daring to challenge and dare to change not only earned him respect among his colleagues and audience, but also showed the humility and courage that a public figure should have. After the challenge, Jiang Wanan was not complacent because of the temporary success, on the contrary, he said more modestly that this challenge is just the beginning, he still has a lot to work on and improve, and he will continue to work hard and continue to challenge himself. This humble and persistent attitude not only allowed him to establish a new image in front of the public, but also made him feel a sense of achievement and satisfaction in the depths of his soul.
Jiang Wanan's "Trap Challenge" is not only a fun game, but also a microcosm of the changing image of a public figure.
