The invitation had its beginning four months earlier when the president of the French Senate led a six-person delegation to Taiwan. The Council for Cultural Affairs invited Wang Shin-shin and several other artists and writers to help officially receive the delegation.
這場邀約緣於 4 個多月前，法國參議院院長率同 6 位議員來台訪問，文建會邀請王心心等數位藝文人士共同接待。
