Chen Shu-si says with frustration, "the organizations which put on events all want Taiwanese songs. Even when Su Hsien-ta went to Uruguay, he played a medley of Taiwanese tunes. If one day you take it into your head to write a fantasia on Peking opera, you may find yourself immediately labelled an unificationist. Ideology robs artists of too much of their creative space."
陳樹熙便無奈地表示，「主辦單位要的也是台灣歌，蘇顯達到烏拉圭也是演奏『台灣小調』，如果你哪天興起寫個京劇幻想曲，可能馬上被打成統派，意識形態讓創作失去太多空間了。」
