Before, when we were in mainland China, we didn't have a lot of opportunities to find out much about Taiwan. We only knew that Taiwan's economy was taking off, that democracy was brewing in Taiwan, and after that there were only negative images: a lot of social problems, overcrowded conditions, a disorderly impression, legislators pounding on tables, swearing, etc.
以前在大陸的時候，很少能有瞭解台灣的機會，只知道台灣經濟起飛很快，台灣在搞民主，剩下的就是負面印象了：社會問題多，擁擠、混亂、議員拍桌子、罵娘……；餘一概不知。
