There are about twenty-four million people living on an island that is my home country, Taiwan, which is located in the center of eastern Asia and surrounded by the Pacific Ocean.��Furthermore, Korea and Japan are the north of Taiwan; Philippines is to the south of Taiwan, and China to the west of it, but to its east is the wide Pacific Ocean.��In fact, the country of Taiwan includes other smaller islands: Kinmen, Matsu, and Penghu.��Although its area is only about one third the size of North Carolina, it is�the seventh richest country in the world.��How can Taiwan have such surprising wealth so as to allow its people to live a steady, plentiful, liberal, democratic life?��Of course, both the government and its citizens have been striving for a long time and still continue to create it gradually.��Four aspects are important to explain its success; they are its history, its religion, its economy, and its educational system.
