Silly Chen, where do you think you come from? Aren't 99.8% of people who on the island of Taiwan from China? Do you deny your heritage?
Just keep the status quo and stop messing with history. beijing is screwing with the language, don't you mess up your history. The kids in school will thank you for not messing with what they need to learn or unlearn. Denying the truth is worse than banning it.
