Just the facts, ma'am, just the facts If you accept the theory of social commentator Nan Fang Shuo, Liao Tien-ting should be seen as "an outlaw seeking social justice." When the government is unable to ensure fairness and equity, inevitably "bandits" will arise who live dangerously and oppose the depredations of officials.
如果根據社會觀察家南方朔的說法，廖添丁應該是一名「社會性的土匪」﹘﹘當為政者無法維持社會的公平正義，難免出現官逼民反或鋌而走險的土匪。
