Political career

Cheng was raised in what became Xinzhuang District of New Taipei. He began his political career as leader of the area in 1977, before taking a seat on the Legislative Yuan in 1981. He won a second term in 1983, but lost the 1986 elections. Shortly thereafter, Cheng joined the Democratic Progressive Party. He returned to the legislature in 1990 as a DPP representative. Cheng subsequently lost a string of elections until regaining his seat in 2001. ^[2] In August 2002, Cheng flew to the United States, after he and his legislative aide Sophie Wang had reportedly married in July. ^[3] He retained former legislative colleague Chiu Chang as his legal representative while seeking a divorce from his wife Lu Pei-ying. ^[4] However, the divorce was never finalized. ^[5] Cheng kept his position as a legislator, ^[6] but left the Democratic Progressive Party in November 2002, ^[7] days before he was formally expelled. ^[8] Cheng then became an independent before joining the Non-Partisan Solidarity Union upon its founding in June 2004. ^{[9] [10]}
