"The map that extends from central Taipei has limited and controlled the Taiwanese's independent thinking. The round head and thin tail of the shape of Taiwan island seem to imply the predisposition of the KMT government which has determined the central government's unfair policies and resultant uneven development between the north and the south since the end of the period of Taiwan under Japanese rule . This sad story of the left-behind peripheral areas of Taiwan utterly established the gravely authoritarian characteristics of Taipei City. Of course, it made southern Taiwanese feel neglected, inferior and deprived like second-class citizen."
