"We people of Tunghsiao don't know how to lead a life of debauchery, and you'll seldom see any lazy good-for-nothings on the streets," says one of the townspeople. Most people's entertainment is work. They go to work during the daytime, and then go to their side job in the evening. They certainly reveal the diligent character of the Hakkas.
「我們通霄人不懂得花天酒地，街上也很少看到遊手好閒的人」，一位鎮民打趣道，大家平常的「娛樂」就是工作﹘﹘白天上班，晚上作副業，的確把客家人特有的勤奮本色發揮得淋漓盡致。
