Taichung City Council held a project report on the 23rd, a number of members reviewed the promotion process of the MRT, Taichung City Councillor Liu Shizhou took out the old photos of the "Tripartite Agreement on Construction and Operation" signed by the "Ministry of Transportation", the Taipei Municipal Government and the Taichung Municipal Government in 2008 at the Lake Pavilion in Taichung Park, affirming that Taichung Mayor Lu Xiuyan played an important role from planning, spawning, construction to opening to traffic. In this regard, Mayor Lu Xiuyan said that he would like to thank the construction team of this road and the people's representatives in each period for their vigorous help to make the MRT smoothly completed and opened to traffic.

According to reports, Taichung City Council on the 23rd to carry out the Project Report of the Chinese and American Rapid Transit, Taichung City Councillor Liu Shizhou said that the day is the last day of the trial operation of the Green Line MRT, the 18 stations will be officially put into operation on the 25th, recalling that the construction process is really a blue wisp of the road, many people dedicated their efforts to establish the first MRT, he as a witness, personally participated in the Taichung Park on November 15, 2008 by the "Ministry of Transportation", taipei city government and Taichung municipal government in Taichung Park Huxin Pavilion signed a "tripartite agreement on construction and operation", Construction began only after the Czech Republic. However, it was nonsense for someone in the Green Camp to say that the Taichung MRT was built by Chen Shui-bian, and when the tripartite agreement was signed, Chen Shui-bian stepped down long ago.

Liu Shizhou stressed that he had attended the signing ceremony at that time, and Lu Xiuyan, who was then a "legislator," and Chen Chengtian, a member of parliament, were also present; Chen Shui-bian and Lin Jialong were not seen in the photos; moreover, China and Czech Republic had been planning since the "Taiwan Provincial Government" period, and Chen Shui-bian was not the first planner.

In this regard, Lu Xiuyan responded that when the tripartite agreement was signed in 2008, in addition to the then mayor of Taichung Hu Zhiqiang, Taichung County Governor Huang Zhongsheng and Taipei Mayor Hao Longbin, there was also the "Minister of Transportation" Mao Zhiguo appointed by the then leader of the Taiwan region Ma Ying-jeou to promote and sign the agreement, and in 2009, Ma Ying-jeou and Hu Zhiqiang personally presided over the groundbreaking ceremony.

She also pointed out that the Green Line MRT can be said to be one of the best track construction for the municipal government, the "central" subsidy of 2/3 of the construction funds, the municipal government out of 1/3, I hope that after the Taichung MRT related construction subsidies can be handled by comparison, thanks to the help of the then people, including fighting for funds, land expropriation, agreeing to be built by the North Municipal Government, etc., so that the MRT will be completed and opened to traffic.
