The reports filed by our journalists are like footprints on the trail that Taiwan has traveled these past four decades. For our 40th anniversary, our editors have selected stories from past years that typify their eras. Like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, the stories can be assembled into a picture illustrating how our society has developed and changed.
Combing through the past is a way of preparing for the future. Reading these reports that represent all that Taiwan Panorama has brought to you over the years should not just be nostalgia for days that will never return, but a chance to rethink all the small steps in the past that have brought us to where we are today. Let’s hope that from them we all will gain inspiration and a sense of direction for the future.
