Sun Ta-chuan, head of the Institute of the Development for Indigenous Peoples at National Dong Hwa University, believes "a name is not the same as identification. A person doesn't just have one name. Why should I get rid of such a nice name like Sun Ta-chuan?"
東華大學民族發展所所長孫大川認為，「名字不等於認同，一個人的名字本來就不只一個，對於孫大川這樣美的名字，我為什麼要丟掉？」
