Dunnan Eslite and Taiwan

From January 24, 1989, Eslite Bookstore opened beside the Dunnan Circle in Renai, moved to the current location of Dunnan Eslite in 1995, and then closed a single store on May 31, 2020. Dunnan Eslite is equal to and has passed through four elected presidents of Taiwan. , the tenure of four presidents including Lee Teng-hui, Chen Shui-bian, Ma Ying-jeou, and the current Tsai Ing-wen. It lasted more than 31 years.

What happened to the source of knowledge production and dissemination, the university, during this historical period? The admission rate of universities has changed from less than 30% to the current level of more than 80%; universities have changed from a high-status palace of knowledge and research to an unbalanced system that is barely supported by half full-time professors and half part-time teachers.
