On ethnic issues, we are all in it together

This year is the 60th anniversary of the KMT’s relocation to Taiwan and a lot of discussion and remembrance will take place. The only way to establish mutual understanding and a more tolerant civil society is to link each individual to history and engage in deeper thought on war and conflict.

We cannot assume that politicians will achieve these complex and lofty goals by making speeches; we must all take responsibility.

Huang Luo-feei is president of the Association for Mainlander Taiwanese.
