Chen Yi-yuen reports that when he took part ten years ago in the compilation of a book on oral traditions, he discovered that very little information was available concerning Taiwan. To his surprise, the most comprehensive work about Taiwan had actually been published in mainland China.
陳益源表示，十年前，他參與編輯一套民間文學的書籍，卻發現有關台灣的部分相當闕如，當時最完整的一份，竟然還是大陸出版的。
