According to reports, Kaohsiung City Councilor Lee Mei-chiu posted on Facebook on the 15th with the title of "Deputy Secretary-General Chen Qimai is reasonable, the administrative officer should be the only one to step down and be responsible", and issued an interview video of Kaohsiung City Governor Chen Qimai who previously criticized Taichung Governor Hu Zhiqiang for the nightclub fire that caused 9 deaths. "I hope Chen Qimai remembers the words of 'justice' in the past."

Li Meizhen said that on March 6, 2011, when the Ala nightclub in Taichung City was on fire, Chen Qimai, a former "deputy secretary general of the Presidential Office", said on a political discussion program, "The administrative officer is originally responsible for the relevant responsibilities, and there is only one way for the administrative officer to be responsible, that is, to step down and be responsible." Chen Qimai believes that "even if Hu Zhiqiang is not impeached, he should step down and be responsible."

According to the report, compared with Chen Qimai's statement, Li Meizhen believes that in 2011, Chen Qimai believed that the fire tragedy of 9 deaths and 13 injuries should be the only one who resigned and stepped down to be responsible, and this time the Kaohsiung fire caused 46 deaths and 41 injuries, which was far more tragic than in Taichung that year.
Li Meizhen mentioned that the urban renewal of Kaohsiung City, only 20 pieces have been done in 20 years, 101 pieces have been approved in the reconstruction of dangerous old houses in 4 years, obviously there are a lot of old construction projects, which need to be improved and maintained in time, but somehow they have not been dealt with, and the 2 indicators have become the "six capitals" (the six "municipalities directly under the central government") the first to last, can not "only see the new building laughing, not see the old building crying".

In addition, for Chen Qimai to apologize and said that he would be responsible for the fire, the People's Party "legislator" Cai Biru questioned, the mayor is not a passerby, for the dangerous buildings in the urban area can not only "sad spring and autumn, feel sorry for the building collapsed", only verbal apology, Taiwan will not be better, the DPP has been in power in Kaohsiung City for more than 20 years, what has it done? High-rise buildings can actually move in large numbers without public safety management, and even if the competent unit has more excuses, it is indispensable.

Cai Bi said that similar to the old and semi-abandoned residential and commercial buildings in the city of the city, it is undeniable that living in the old city and living in such old and abandoned buildings are mostly vulnerable people at the bottom of the society, who cannot afford to buy a house of 600,000 or 700,000 yuan (NT$, the same below), and can only live in an old suite of 550,000 yuan, and can only live in a dangerous building that is not managed by public safety and is seriously lacking in fire fighting facilities, which is the sad song of the entire island society.
