Looking back over the new government's track record, what is striking is that following an unpromising start with a "minority presidency" that obtained no more than 40 % of the votes cast, after three years of assiduous work Chen Shui-bian can be said to have made a definite mark on Taiwanese society.
越挫越勇向前衝回顧執政歷程，陳水扁以大選得票率不到百分之四十的「少數總統」身份執政，本是先天不良，但三年的勤懇耕耘下來，對台灣社會已產生了一定程度的深層影響。
