"Beauty and the art of slow and gradual appreciation has never had much luck taking root in our culture," opines Wang Hao-wei. The way Taiwanese appreciate art and performance is, says Wang, like the proverbial "admiring flowers from a galloping horse." Everybody in Taiwan seems to be in a hurry all the time. In the West, cognac is sipped and savored.
「需要慢慢欣賞體會的藝術、美學，一向不易在我們的文化中扎根，」王浩威指出，像欣賞畫展、藝術創作等活動，台灣總是走馬看花、動作很快，XO 在歐美是要用嗅覺味覺慢慢欣賞、品味的，到台灣就變成了乾杯、一飲而盡。
