Tsao Ji-chang's view is that, "The northerners have been more seriously 'polluted' by mainlander ways, the central and southern Taiwanese have kept more of their original Taiwanese purity, ability to suffer and work hard, and their character of loyalty and sincerity."
曹日章的看法是：「同是台灣籍，北部人被國民黨那些外省人的習氣『汙染』得較嚴重；中南部人較保有台灣人原來純樸、吃苦耐勞、忠誠可靠的本性。」
