Taiwan People's Party Chairman Ko Wen-je is caught up in a political donation fraud storm, and his wife Chen Pei-chi was also exposed to have visited a luxury house worth NT$120 million. Although Chen herself has posted a statement explaining the process of visiting the house, the outside world's related discussions continue to burn. Ko Wen-je responded in a joint interview with the media on the morning of the 24th that he has worked for more than 30 years, "frankly speaking, buying a house worth NT$100 million is not a difficult thing for us, and I don't have to pretend to be poor."

Regarding the house viewing, the media asked Ko Wen-je, "He was questioned for shouting for housing justice in the past, but now he is privately buying a luxury house. Are your words and deeds different?" He responded that my husband and I are both doctors who graduated from National Taiwan University and have been working for more than 30 years. "Frankly speaking, buying a house worth NT$100 million is not a difficult thing for us." As for the farmland in Hsinchu, he emphasized that he would definitely deal with it and would not drag it out like "Laipi Liao" (the illegal building in Lai Ching-te's hometown in New Taipei City).

Ke Wenzhe also said, "As for buying a house, frankly speaking, I don't need to pretend to be poor. I can afford it anyway. The house I live in now should be sold for more than 60 million yuan." He also has an old apartment on Hangzhou South Road in Taipei City, which is enough for him to get together. When Chen Peiqi went to see the house, he was reluctant to buy it. He thought there was no need to put his life's assets into a house. In the end, "This is just what Chen Peiqi thought in her heart. I didn't agree all along. I said that even if you can afford it, I can't afford to live in it."

Ko Wen-je raised a question: Taiwan's population is obviously decreasing, and more and more houses are being built. According to supply and demand, housing prices should fall, but Taipei's housing prices are really too expensive, and people can't afford to buy or live in them. Later, he also said that Chen Pei-chi has her own ideas, "Personally, I don't think it's worth it to spend my life's savings on a house and become a house slave."

It is said that Chen Peiqi went to see "Yuan Li Qunying", which is also the most suitable house around the Taiwan Public Opinion Organization. The front door is magnificent and very different from the nearby architectural style. The next building is the Zhongxing Building, and it takes only 5 minutes to walk to the Shandao Temple subway station. The nearby living facilities are complete.

Yuanli Qunying was completed in 2006 and sold out in 2007. It is 18 years old and has only 28 units. Currently, there are 4 units for sale on the housing sales website, with 83.23 ping (1 ping is about 3.3 square meters) asking price of NT$126 million, 88.81 ping asking price of NT$132 million, 88.83 ping asking price of NT$128 million, and 108.85 ping asking price of NT$143 million.
