According to Lin Ku-fang, director of the Graduate Institute of Art History at Fo Guang University, "There's more to it than just a vague romantic attraction to the mainland. There is a matter of complex fundamental values involved in this. We are looking at a historical moment of flux, one that is built upon the debris of a great tragedy, and we do not want to turn our backs on it.
佛光大學藝術學研究所所長林谷芳進一步分析：「那不僅是一種浪漫的中國情懷，更是不想辜負了由悲劇堆疊的歷史契機，兩岸分隔了那麼久，其中有歷史謎底需要解開，那牽涉著複雜的根本價值。」
