Taiwan is NOT an independent country IF the people live on this island deny it.
We can blame nobody but ourselves.

What makes our people deny our homeland?? IT IS THE ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE SCHOOL. In the US, second generation of immigrants say they are American. The third generation doesnt even care which country their grand parents came from. In Taiwan the third generation immigrants still say they are Chinese from certain province. This is the fault of education. This is the fault of our leaders. This is the fault of all of us.

To establish our own identity, we need to start from our elementary school.

I suggest that we establish an alternative textbook committee to compile a new textbook. This textbook should teach our children to be proud of being a Taiwanese. This textbook should emphasize more on Taiwan and Taiwan as part of the whole world. No more emphasis on Chinese history and Chinese geography should be included.
