lmao, i guess familiarity breeds contempt. because of the dispute with china, taiwan doesn't play its national anthem at international events such as the olympics when one of their athletes win. instead, they play the flag anthem, which I MUCH prefer (again, just as a piece of music). I would be very happy if they adapted the flag anthem as the new national anthem.

i get why you like this more, it's more of a marching song like most anthems. me i don't really think a national anthem should necessarily be a march. too militaristic. why not have something culturally appropriate and more importantly unique? i like that about the actual anthem. (again, didn't look at the lyrics at all)
