Tchen asserts, "We should strive to hold onto characteristics of our culture in everything, from the basic necessities of life to education, leisure, artistic values, and aesthetics, so that when others see us, they will know right away where we hail from."
「我們如何生活、穿什麼衣服、用什麼餐具……，從食衣住行育樂到藝術價值、美學觀，都應保留屬於自己的文化特質，讓別的國家能一眼就辨識出台灣風格，」陳郁秀指出。
