That day the sales department at the China Times logged more than 2000 telephone calls from readers, some of whom lambasted the paper roundly, while others, after a few words of complaint, said they would continue to support it as before; still others enquired whether there would be any special offers for existing subscribers.
當天，中時業務部湧進二千多通電話，有的讀者破口大罵，有的抱怨幾句後仍舊表示諒解與支持，也有人打來探聽續訂戶的優惠權益。
