"Professors, whatever you do, please don't make Hsinchu Station a Grade Ⅲmonument, because those are in the care of local and county and city governments, which have no money or staff. Please consider carefully--if you are going to make it a listed monument, make it a Grade Ⅱ monument under the provincial government, or a Grade I monument under the national authorities."
「各位教授，請千萬別將新竹火車站劃為縣市政府管的三級古蹟，地方單位無人無錢，請教授們斟酌，要列，就列由省管理的二級，或由國家管理的一級古蹟」，他氣急敗壞地說完後下車，彷彿了了一樁心事。
