Wandering by Train

Wandering by train
In Taiwan, we can take a train from Keelung to Pentung with an Easy Card , it's convenient to take a wandered trip, no destination just following the feeling to somewhere.
Someday ,when the rainy and cold weather bothered us , we got on a train toward the south, through emerald green fields and hills ,passed by the blue sea rolling waves of breaking against the rocks, and the rural , farm and urban view like changing pictures.
Chasing after the sunshine ,we got off the train and walked out from Fun-Shan station.
Awesome ! It's a beautiful city, surrounding by a long stream called Tsaur Gong Jiunn which was an irrigation channel, built in 170 years ago by Tsaur Gong ,from Kuo- Pen River to irrigate the farms almost all Big Kuoshung area . When the industrial life instead of agricultural society, the people ignored it's existence and became a dirty under channel. Currently, the local residents remembered the past great channel and recovered glorious features in friendly environment with clear water, plenty of various plants ,athletic equipment ,leisure garden ,children park and bike path.
Now ,Fun Shan is a quiet, pleasure city surrounding by the winding stream and making your head swim scenery. Our meeting with the amazing city was by accident but enough an unforgettable trip.
坐火車漫遊
在台灣,我們可以憑一張悠遊卡坐火車從基隆到屏東漫遊,它很方便可隨意上下車,可以是沒有目的地僅隨感覺去某個地方的旅遊。
某一天,當我們煩透了濕冷的雨天,我們坐上了開往南部的火車,穿過翠綠色的田野和丘陵,駛過藍藍的海洋,看滾滾浪潮衝向岩石激起浪花,鄉村、農田、城市的景緻像一幅幅不斷變動的畫。為追逐陽光,我們在鳳山市下車,走出火車站。
哇噻!這是個多麼美麗的城市!它整個被一條長長的河流包圍著。這條河流叫曹公圳,是一條灌溉渠道,在一百七十年前由被尊為曹公所建設,從高屏溪取水,曾經灌溉區遍及大高雄地區的農田。當工業化的生活取代了農業社會,人們忽視了它的存在,逐漸成為骯髒的地下渠道。近年來,地方居民懷念以前偉大的灌溉渠道,並以生態環保的友善思考,淨化水質,廣植各類水陸植物,運動設施,休憩庭園,兒童樂園和自行車道,恢復其過往的繁榮景象。
現在,鳳山市是一個安靜舒適的城市,它被一條蜿蜒的河流和令人目眩神迷的風景包圍。我們和這個奇妙的城市相遇純屬偶然,卻是一個令人難忘的意外小旅行。

A Great Blessing

A great blessing
My daughter in law is ever changing from a shy girl to a brave mother. I appreciate her to struggle for the problem and to face the problem calmly.
My grandson worried about his hair cut would be laughter by his classmates and didn't know how the adult were afraid of the adventure that the surgeon will operate on his head. I taught him to read prayer and he wondered," Why do you speak Taiwanese ,isn't the God listening any other languages?" I smiled at the pure and ignorant child," If you can translate into Chinese or English ,the God will understand." "Grandma, I just remembered what you had taught me." It said : "Oh, My God ! I think of you wherever you go, in the heaven ? or on the earth ? I wish the human no more suffer from the disaster and the diseases turn away from my body. All unhappiness disappear without a trace."" If you feel nervous ,the words will be relieved." We wish a great blessing for his good health.
Thank God and doctors my grandson is safe, we were filled with admiration for the courage of my son's family to overcome the challenge again .
一個大大的祝福
我的媳婦在不斷的改變中,從一個羞怯內向的女孩成長為一個勇敢的母親。我欣賞她能在掙扎於問題中,選擇勇敢冷靜的面對問題。
我的孫子擔心理光頭會成為同學的笑話,而不知道家長多麽害怕外科醫師在他頭上的手術是多大的風險。我教他讀祈禱文,他竟質疑,「阿嬤,你為什麼唸台語,難道神聽不懂其他語言嗎?」我微笑的看著這個純真無邪的孩童,「如果你能翻譯成中文或英文,神都能理解。」「阿嬤,我剛剛記起了你曾經教過我的。」「天羅神,地羅神,人離難,難離身,一切災殃化為塵。」「如果你覺得緊張時,唸這些話,會讓你感到安心。」我們真心祈望神明保佑孩子健康長大。
感謝神和醫師,我的孫子平安了,我們充滿了讚嘆兒子一家再度克服挑戰的勇氣。
