And the February 28 or "228" Incident of 1947 has now come one full shou of 60 years. Thanks to the strenuous efforts of the government in recent years to make amends for the death and destruction of that year and the long period of resentment that followed, the time has arrived to close this chapter of history and look forward to a new era of great vitality and harmony for the country.
而發生於民國 36 年初的「228 事件」，到今年已屆滿 60 週年。當年的死亡肅殺與漫長的怨憤悲情，經過這些年政府的竭力彌補，也該到了圓滿放下的時刻，並期待台灣從此進入一個生機盎然、和諧無間的新時代。
