Thirty years later, the issue of "the lack of criticism" has been raised again, and the answer is still floating in the wind.

We invite commentators from different fields (Malaysia and Taiwan) and different generations (Huang Jinshu, Ye Fuyan, Wu Qianwen, Zhu Youxun, Zhan Minxu, and Xiong Tinghui) to discuss this topic that has always been "scarce".
