Former ambassador, David Chien-Kuo Wu, non-profit organization worker, Chiayo Kuo, and musician, Debby Szu-Ya Wang, responded by using drama to tell the story of Taiwan. In the theater, they undergo numerous political conflicts and inner reconciliations, built on mutual acceptance, in an effort to create a microcosm of Taiwan in the international community.
