Taipei's cultural infrastructure has been centrally planned and was built on the back of the whole nation. Taichung has nurtured its creativity on its own, and our creativity is intimately connected to our outlook on life and our economic strength. If it were to lose its connection to people's lives or its economic incentives, it would dry up.
台北的文化格局是傾全國之力、由上而下打造出來的，台中豐富的創意卻是自發的，離不開生活觀與經濟力；如果創意與生活脫節或者失去經濟誘因，創意必然枯竭。
