Many young overseas students who have left Taiwan may have some impressions of this place, but the rapid changes that have recently transpired in Taiwan's lifestyle, society and ways of thinking are not easily grasped by visiting students who only retain a vague impression of Taiwan, or by "ABC's" (American Born Chinese) who speak Mandarin or Taiwanese at home but whose greatest link with Taiwanese culture is a yellow complexion.
從台灣出去的小留學生雖然對台灣有些印象，但近來台灣生活、社會、觀念的急遽變遷，卻不是對台灣僅存著模糊印象的小留學生或是和台灣文化最大的牽連僅在於黃面孔、在家講國、台語的 AmericanBorn Chinese（ABC）所能掌握的。
