The Son of Taiwan is the first book written by Chen Shui-Bian, Taiwan's current president. Chen, the former mayor of Taipei and second directly elected president of Taiwan, maps out his vision for the future, his approach for defusing tensions between Taiwan and mainland China, and his program for leading Taiwan to establish a society revitalized with fresh confidence, trust, and faith. As mayor of Taipei, he proved he could put words into action, transforming Taipei from an ugly duckling into one of Asia's most livable cities. Now, as the 10th president of Taiwan (Republic of China), Chen is intent on applying his proven formula for the revitalization of Taiwan.
