Don't worry,be happy.

When I was young,I used to hear my mother persuade the suffering relatves or friends to be optimistic and liberal-minded.My mom was right.As the Chinese often say,"Ninety percent of the things in life are unfortunate." Sometimes,in the country,I often see some elders wear smiles on their faces but they don't have much education and don't have much achivement in life,though.Therefore,happiness is not necessarily connected with fortune and richness.How to cultivate a joyful and opmistic attitude toward life is paramount in our lifetime.So open the window and let the sunshine come in.Don't worry,be happy.These words are comparatively important to my fellow countrymen in Taiwan who frequently suffer from natural disasters,like typhoons and earthquakes.

Homage to ancestors

About 400 years ago,little was known about Taiwan. It was once occupied by Dutchman and then by Japanese. Our ancestors crossed the hazardous Taiwan Strait to cultivate this piece of land.Many people died during the crossing,and therefore some historians assumed that the word "Taiwan" literarily meant "burying the dead people who died in injustice or in grievance". The married males migrated to Taiwan without their wives and the bachelors got married with the local indigenous women. Today we flourish(prosper) on this land,enjoying complete freedom and economic richness,we should pay our homage to our beloved ancestors.(照片:台南億載金城) .

Dialogue between the tea farmers
