Taiwan back then was one of the world s biggest producers of sugar cane, but the harvest was extremely difficult work, as Chien-lo is painfully aware. Once he came very close to cutting a finger clean off with a sickle, but he just slapped some cement mix (commonly regarded as a good disinfectant) on the wound and worked on through the pain.
那個年代，台灣是全球「蔗糖王國」，吳建樂卻深知採收甘蔗的艱苦，有次鐮刀一揮，差點將手指一截齊齊削去，然而他只是敷上一層灰泥，咬咬牙，又繼續幹活。
