“Putting the right people in the right jobs is crucial” a wise man once said. The Examination Yuan embodies this principle. Right here in this impressive building, examinations have been held for over nine decades to select the best and brightest for Taiwan’s civil service. Dr. Sun Yat-sen, the father of modern China, envisioned a system that blended tradition with Western democracy. The Examination Yuan, one of the five branches of government, is a testament to his vision. Established in 1930, the Examination Yuan has weathered many storms. It moved from Nanjing to Chongqing during the war with Japan and finally found a permanent home here in Taipei in 1951. The building itself has seen its fair share of history, originally serving as a temple before its transformation into this bastion of meritocracy. The Examination Yuan is not just about exams. It’s a guardian of fairness, ensuring a merit-based system where anyone with talent and dedication has a chance to serve their country.
