Thousands of supporters gathered outside Tsai’s campaign headquarters in Taipei and repeatedly chanted: “Hello, president” as Tsai walked onto a stage, even though the presidential election is still weeks away.
Waving small flags to show their support for Tsai, many supporters also held up piggy banks filled with coins, which they shook to make a noise.
Before, during and after the rally, people lined up to donate their piggy banks full of coins to campaign staff, which is the trademark of Tsai’s supporters when making donations. [FULL STORY]
