Shen Fu-hsiung

Shen Fu-hsiung (Chinese: 沈富雄; pinyin: Shěn Fùxióng; born 23 August 1939) is a Taiwanese physician, nephrologist, and politician.

Shen was born in 1939, and earned a medical degree at National Taiwan University before seeking further education in the United States.

In November 1993, Shen led a group of Democratic Progressive Party politicians on a junket to the U.S., where they attended to a meeting of the Asian Pacific Economic Community.

[6] Shen won reelection in 1995 in part because his party had asked its supporters to vote for legislative candidates based on the season in which voters were born.

[12] Shen's proposed nomination as DPP candidate for Vice President of the Legislative Yuan in 2002 met with heavy opposition from the Taiwan Solidarity Union.

[16] Prior to stepping down from the Legislative Yuan, Shen had already been named a likely candidate for the Taipei mayoralty in municipal elections scheduled for 2006.

[22] In October, Shen announced his withdrawal from the DPP, helped found the Third Society Party, and ended his legislative campaign.
