Despite the continuing apprehension about cross-strait relations, despite the bewildering jumble of social values, and despite the destruction wrought by the September 21 earthquake, Taiwan is still on its feet. And in the wake of the earthquake, everyone is giving money and time to help victims of the disaster piece their lives together again.
儘管兩岸關係緊繃帶來的不安依舊，儘管各種價值觀齊飛讓人茫然，儘管「九二一集集大地震」讓美麗之島一夕變色，但台灣並未被擊倒，全民出錢出力，要替受災同胞重建家園。
