Today Taiwan has become famous around the globe as one of the Four Little Dragons of Asia, while the mainland has shocked the world with the bloody suppression at Tienanmen. China has entered an unprecedented historical period. In a rapidly changing international situation, with close economic and trade ties across the Taiwan Strait, we in Taiwan must squarely face the chaos and disorder appearing in society during a transitional period of democratic constitutional reform.
今天，台灣挾「亞洲四小龍」的經濟實力揚名全球；大陸以「六四天安門」的血腥鎮壓事件震驚全球，今天的中國，已走入一個前所未有的歷史時期：國際局勢變動萬千、兩岸經貿密切交流，台灣在民主憲政改革中的過渡期社會所呈現的混亂脫序，我們要勇敢地面對。
