Renowned Taiwanese artist Chiang Hsun (蒋勋) thinks that Taiwan during the 70s and 80s has put too much emphasis on economic development. Almost all students during that time went into science stream education. At the back of the economic miracle is the less known cost of loneliness and anxiety. If materialistic elements were to be taken away from this group of people, suddenly they find themselves without any meaningful thing to cling onto. This leads to an anxious and stressful outlook on life. Chiang suggests that we should all slow down to appreciate the bigger picture of life. After all, life isn't just made up of dollar and cents.
