It is rather poignant that 40 years ago the "crime" of "having relatives in Taiwan" was enough to have mainland friends and relatives classified as one of the "Five Black Elements." Forty years later, "having relatives in Taiwan" has become a source of financial assistance and comfort of which one can be proud.
令人感嘆的是，四十年前，「有親人在台灣」的罪名，足以使大陸親友被打成「黑五類」；四十年後，「有親人在台灣」，卻成為他們極大的經濟支援及足以傲人的慰藉。
