Chi Kuo-chang believes that education in Taiwan has emphasized academic subject matter at the expense of other skills for so long that people who want to study art are either forced to leave the country if they want to develop their work or, if they remain in the country, to find another way of making a living and make art a leisure pursuit.
紀國章認為，台灣長久以來重視升學而忽視其它才藝，迫使想學藝術的人，必須出走到國外尋求發展，或是雖留在台灣卻得另尋一條生計，最後只能把藝術當成聊以自娛的嗜好。
