Chien-tsuen Chen, assistant of cross-strait organization

A: Does joining the cross-straight camp make your life different or inspire your values of life?
Q: Yes, of course. Living under this political and military threat from China, also exaggerate statements by mass media, we somewhat might be influenced then feel hostility towards people in China; nevertheless, after having the real contact with students from there, my previous attitude changed! I experience the sincere relations between Taiwan and Chinese students. They learn how to think more widely in such a complicated cross-straight case and be mature towards things happened to them.

A: Since being involved with so many teams, which team or activity impresses you the most? Why?
Q: Actually, every team has their own distinguishing features such as planning ability or communication skills. Since our members with kinds of characteristics come from different departments, you’ll see various sparkles happened on them; therefore, it’s really hard to tell which team I like the best. I like every one of them!!

A: What’s the difference between students of two sides?
Q: In my opinion, I think Taiwanese students are more creative than China’s. While facing the same issue, our students can always bring up interesting ideas and statements without much more thinking. On the other hand, student from China are a little bit serious sometimes. But this characteristic becomes an advantage on their studies. They are more cautious and active with school works; on the contrary, we Taiwanese students are opportunistic. They always find the easiest way to pass the exams and tough tasks.

A: What can attract an Otaku to sign up for the cross-straight team?
Q: We have many members so called “Otaku” in our team. Like what you depict, they spend lots of time on on-line games and don’t pay much attention on their appearance; however, obviously, they really excel at computer stuff! They can file the minute and complicated document well through computer.We need their skill and concentration on works. In cross-straight organization, they not only can give full play to their ability but have more chances to deal with people instead of on-line games.

A: What’s the possible development of cross-strait organization in the future?
Q: Speaking of the development, Professor Sung and I indeed develop some proposals and several of them are put in practice in certain extent. I’m quite not sure what cross-straight organization might be, but you students’ vigor are definitely our sources to grow.
