The majestic mountains, cliffs, abundant rainfall, lush forests, and river alluvial plains on the island form a rich landscape; the early settlers, working hard on this precious land, blended cultures, "mountains and seas as bones, humanity as soul," weaving a beautiful picture of the island.

Studying northward, nearly fifty years have passed in an instant. Wandering on this land of Taiwan, where I was born and grew up, as dear as a mother, I reflect on the vastness of time and the changes of the world.
