Hsu Chen-wei (Chinese: 徐榛蔚; pinyin: Xú Zhēnwèi; Wade–Giles: Hsü2 Chên1-wei4;[1] born 12 October 1968) is a Taiwanese politician who currently serves as magistrate of Hualien County since 25 December 2018.[2] She was re-elected in 2022, with 64.7% of the vote, defeating Kolas Yotaka. [3]
Publicly known as the wife of former Hualien County Magistrate Fu Kun-chi, Hsu was appointed as the chairperson of Hualien China Youth Corps (Chinese: 救國團花蓮團) during the first term of Fu as magistrate. She was then later appointed as the captain of Hualien's Community Patrol (Chinese: 花蓮縣巡守) and subsequently the head of National Women's League (Chinese: 婦女後援會).[4]
Hsu participated in the 2014 Hualien County magistrate election on 29 November 2014 as an independent candidate finishing in 4th place, losing to her own husband Fu Kun-chi.[5][6] This election was the first time in the history of the Republic of China that both husband and wife run for the same public position simultaneously.[7]
