Shen Biaoyu's Success Factors

Delaware is a small state in the eastern United States with a population of just over 600,000. More than 82% of the residents are white, 16% are Spanish and black, there are about 4,000 Asians, and only about 600 Chinese. Shien Biau Woo, as a first-generation immigrant, was elected as the deputy governor of Delaware, which was a great victory of the Chinese political participation movement. When he won the primary election, the China Journal, an American Chinese newspaper, published an editorial saying: "Shien Biaowoo can beat the other two incumbent state legislators of the Democratic Party and win a key primary election victory without any political qualifications. This is a sudden emergence of China people in political activities and deserves the pride of all China people. " And his last opponent, Mrs. Robinson, has long been an active figure in * * * and the party. She served as the legal adviser to the former governor of Delaware, and received the support of DuPont consortium, and her campaign funds were abundant. In the face of such a strong player, it is a miracle to win the final victory. The news of Shi Biaoyu's election caused a sensation in the United States, and some influential newspapers reported the news in the headlines one after another, calling it "an unprecedented success in the history of Chinese Americans."

Shien Biau Woo's success in the election should be attributed to the strong support of Chinese in American states. Chinese from all walks of life in the United States broke the geographical and political views and unanimously supported him, which was the main driving force for his victory. At that time, campaign funds alone raised $230,000, two thirds of which came from Chinese in the United States. As Wu Xianbiao himself said: "This is an epoch-making great unity of Chinese Americans. As long as we have the spirit of teamwork, we will gradually gain full political representation. " He compared his election to the Nobel Prize in Physics won by Yang Zhenning and Li Zhengdao, which greatly encouraged and inspired overseas Chinese to unite, promoted them to care about politics, actively participated in local politics and protected their legitimate rights and interests.

Second, Shi Biaoyu's campaign politics not only strives for the welfare of Chinese, but also strives for equality and rights. Not only for the Chinese community, but also for the whole society. His talent, wisdom and charm during his work and campaign in the state won the general trust of the citizens of the state, especially the support of the majority of white and black voters. This is also the main factor of Shi Biaoyu's success.

On the other hand, Daniel Wu's success in the election can not be separated from the help of his wife, Ms. Wu, and her children. Ms Wu is also a Chinese American activist. She graduated from the University of California at Berkeley and is a representative of the Democratic Party of the United States. When Shien Biau Woo was running for deputy governor, she resigned from the well-paid position of secretary of the state legislature to help her husband. He is not only his logistics manager, but also his chief of staff. He cooperates well as a person. Their son was in the army, and their daughter was in college. They also voted for their father. Shien Biau Woo once admitted that without the support of his wife, he would not run for public office, let alone be elected.

Finally, making a correct campaign strategy is the key to winning. Shien Biau Woo applied the method of experimental physics to the campaign. He personally went deep into the community to talk with voters, to understand voters' expectations of the candidate for deputy governor, and their responses to various advertisements and written promotional materials, to screen and seize favorable information to formulate election strategies. In order to impress voters, Shien Biau Woo installed a mirror in the basement of his home, and stood in front of the mirror to practice speaking whenever he had time. His campaign speech was full of passion and the intelligence and wisdom of a scientist in China. He showed voters the history of a new immigrant studying in the United States and the struggle of immigrants, and told him the opportunities and challenges brought by the United States, as well as his great ambition to improve science and education in Delaware. Voters were deeply moved by his speech, which won him long applause and cheers again and again, and finally made him the first Chinese-American lieutenant governor in the United States.
