"Culture is a reflection of the collective consciousness of a society," Ping Lu says. "If culture is to have an independent existence and develop with dignity, then society needs to grow up and foster a capacity for deeper thinking." Can Taiwan, after experiencing a period of vulgar boom-time prosperity, calm down to reflect upon things thoughtfully?
「文化是社會集體心靈的反映；文化要能獨立存活、有尊嚴的發展，需要整個社會更成熟、更有深刻思考的能力」，台灣社會經過虛矯的喧囂繁華後，能不能有靜下心來思考的一天？
