Hsu Ching-chun notes that since the lifting of martial law in 1987 and the lifting of the ban on new newspapers, the social mood has become increasingly free and pluralized. Local Taiwanese culture is gaining respect, and limits on use of Taiwanese are being relaxed. This greatly increases the opportunities to perform, thus naturally heightening the willingness of singers to devote themselves to it.
