Biography

Wu Mei-ju and her husband Lai Ching-te

Wu Mei-ju and Lai Ching-te met when they accompanied their relatives and friends in the joint high school entrance examination, and got married while Lai was studying in the Department of Post-Medical Science of National Cheng Kung University. The couple has two sons.

She once worked for the Taiwan Power Company. After her husband was elected Mayor of Tainan City, in order to avoid a potential conflict of interest, she was transferred from the position of Tainan Business Division Director of Taiwan Electric Power Company to Kaohsiung's Hsinta Power Plant to take an administrative position.
