Nighttime, January 1 of this year. In the little plaza in front of the Catholic church in Hsiapinlang, the bonfire made up of stacked branches emits a sudden burst of sparks, illuminating the beads of sweat on the faces of the playing children. This is now the focal point of the whole village.
今年元月一日入夜後，在台東下賓朗村天主堂前的小廣場，由樹枝交錯堆疊的營火熊熊地燃燒著，突如其來爆出的一聲火花，映出帶頭跳舞的孩子臉上閃閃的汗珠。
