Most of us used to spend our entire lives in the tribe into which we were born, but the Japanese educational system changed that. They sent us for further schooling in Tainan or Japan, which brought us into contact with the larger society.
我們的同胞原本大多一輩子就在部落過活，是日本人的教育體系有效地將原住民菁英送到台南、日本等地念書，讓他們面對現代社會；二次大戰時又將我們的菁英丟到到南洋打仗。
