Ah-teh recalls the loneliness he felt after coming all by himself at the age of 15 to study at the Tatung Institute of Technology in Taipei. Holidays were always a low point, for he often found himself completely alone in the dormitory after his classmates had headed for home.
阿德回憶，他十五歲就隻身來台，在大同工專半工半讀，假日時住宿舍的同學都回家了，常常只剩他一人。
