At times it has been called a "pirate kingdom" for fake products, with a pirate face to match. After the lifting of martial law, there is a face flush with hope as democracy has taken a great step forward. And then there's the prosperous face of a "Taiwan ankle-deep in money," and the greedy face shown in the flourishing of money games in the past few years.
曾經是被冠上「仿冒王國」的海盜面孔；解嚴之後，民主化往前跨一大步是充滿希望的臉，而後是「台灣錢、淹腳目」的富裕的臉，近來則因金錢遊戲盛行而被形容為貪婪的臉。
