Chang Kuei-shing, who teaches at Taipei's Chungyuan Middle School, cites his own birthplace as an example: "Even in a backwater like Borneo, there were more than 10 literary societies made up of middle-school students. The local Chinese-language newspaper turned over its entire supplements section to the students to write and edit. The paper didn't pay them anything, but it did give them an opportunity to express themselves."
現任教於台北成淵中學的張貴興舉自己家鄉為例，「像婆羅洲這麼落後的地方，也曾有十幾個由中學生組成的文學團體，當地中文報將整個副刊交給他們編，不付稿費，卻提供發表機會。」
