Yet, paradoxically, in the course of political liberalization many "new voices" took advantage of the cracks in the system to cry out. But as politics has come closer to total openness, with virtually no taboos, many cultural workers suddenly lost the focus of their protest performances, and had to take a quiet period off.
反諷的是，政治開放過程中，許多「不同的聲音」可以從漸放漸寬的裂罅中吶喊出來，但一旦政治趨近完全開放，幾乎再無壓抑與禁忌可言時，絕大部分的文化抗爭者忽然失去抗爭表陳的焦點，只得暫時陷於默然。
