Emile Chih-jen Sheng (盛治仁), Minister of the Council for Cultural Affairs (CCA), Executive Yuan, visited Kinmen on June 7th to inspect the proposed locations for the "Centurial Anniversary of ROC."
　 行政院文建會主委盛治仁7日抵金門踏勘「建國百年」慶典活動的相關據點。
Magistrate Li, Wo-Shi mentioned, Kinmen and Matzu, coexisting with ROC's sovereignty (1) for a complete century, are two of the only counties that have the longevity (2) of ROC. According to Magistrate Li, Kinmen is very excited, and looking forward to participating in the preparation of this centurial celebration. The motif (3) for this celebration will be a manifestation of the spirit of "Overseas Chinese, the Mother of Revolution," and battlefield, war, peace, and art will be combined into it.
　 縣長李沃士指出，金門與馬祖陪著中華民國完整走過一百年，是真正「與國同壽」的縣市，對參與籌辦建國百年慶典，金門感到期待與興奮。將以彰顯「華僑為革命之母」精神，以及戰地等主軸，將戰爭和平與藝術結合在一起。

During the inspection, Emile discovered the infinite (4) potential of Kinmen. He hopes that through this centurial anniversary, the entire world will know about Kinmen. Governor Xue, Cheng-Tai mentioned that Kinmen owns the southern Fujian culture, Overseas Chinese's hometown culture, battlefield culture and liquor culture. It's hard to find a precious and unique place like Kinmen in the world.
　 盛治仁表示，經過此次踏勘，發現金門潛力無窮，希望藉由建國百年活動，讓國際看見金門。省主席薛承泰則表示，金門有閩南文化、僑鄉文化、戰地文化、白酒文化，全世界再也找不到像金門這樣的地方，非常難得。

Zhang, Qing-Xiang (張慶翔), the Commander of Kinmen Defense Command also mentioned that the centurial anniversary is very important for the ROC, and that the army will do whatever they can to support the celebration.
金防部指揮官張慶翔也表示，建國百年是國家大事，軍方將以最大力量支持共襄盛舉。
