If you look at Taiwan society today, every day on TV or in the newspapers, you see people struggling against each other to satisfy their ambitions and lusts. People don't care about right and wrong, good and evil. There are only clever self-justifications, and every mistake is someone else's fault. The virtues of simple honesty, modesty, and diligence that formerly characterized Taiwanese are completely gone.
綜觀今日的台灣社會，每天打開電視、翻開報紙，到處都只見口舌之利、慾望之爭，沒有是非、善惡，只有巧辯、指責，完全不見台灣人早年那種忠厚、謙虛、儉樸、勤奮的美德。
