Walking in the maze of lanes and alleys,
Without the sense of time,
I came back to the reality
Four hours before the dawn
At 2 A.M.
Left and right looked I
And found it was my first time
To encounter this lamp over here.

走在永和巷弄交錯的迷宮裡
不知不覺地
已到了太陽出來前四小時
的深夜兩點
左看看
右看看
我發覺
這盞路燈
我是第一次看到

Hi!!
ReplyDeleteI wanna ask for i am not so sure about.... hmm...
Well, is Taiwan part of China?
Do you guyz consider yourself to be Taiwanese or Chinese (of China)?
to klsz:
ReplyDeleteHaha, that question is the one that everyone has something to say about. Politically, Taiwan is divided into the "blue camp" and the "green camp." The "blue camp" is the KMT (Nationalist Party) which seeks a unified China, and the "green camp" is the DPP (Democratic Progressive Party) which seeks an independent Taiwan. During elections, these two parties use these two colours to divide and conquer everyone in Taiwan. So, if you are pan-green, you "should" support an independent Taiwan, and if you are pan-blue, you "should" support a unified China. So, as you can see, people who support different parties can vary on the notion of their "nationality" very distinctively.
Due to the chaos that these "colours" cause, there are now people who seek a more "middle path." To these people, they believe that Taiwan is an independent region and political entity from China: it does NOT belong to China. However, whatever we call this place is of another thing (coz it's now called the Republic of China, which is again what the pan-blue is grabbing onto).
Anyway... To make a complicated matter short, the notion of Taiwanese or Chinese really varies from people to people, but I believe that nobody would deny the fact that it is Taiwan, this place, that grows them. So, if asked, "Where are you from?" Most of the people who live on this island would say, "I am from Taiwan."
