That Liu Shao-tang's death elicited such a huge response at a time when all of Taiwan's media are packed with electoral news in the run-up to the March presidential ballot, is not only a measure of the widespread respect which Liu earned by his lifelong professionalism and refusal to lower standards, but also shows that Taiwan is still a place with deep feelings and concern for intellectual matters.
在選戰日趨白熱化，國內媒體每天大肆報導之際，劉紹唐先生的驟逝猶能引起如此巨大迴響，除了他一生專注志業的精神，以及堅持理念不媚俗的態度，贏得了許多人的敬重之外；也讓人感到，台灣依舊是有人情、良知的地方。
