After learning that Michael Crow would leave Taiwan by plane that afternoon, he specially ordered Minister of Education Chiang Weining to host a banquet at noon and notified the presidents of more than 20 universities including National Taiwan University to attend. During the whole process, Michael Crow was answering questions and did not eat a single bite except for a glass of Coke.

The emotion of a glass of Coke will remain in Taiwan forever.
