What I sought was dew sparkling under the sun, the terraced tobacco-drying racks, or oxcarts. Or while lying in the bean fields, I would photograph the traditional Hakka houses at the far end of the huge fields. At that time the air pollution wasn't so bad in Meinung; I could really get a feeling for why the ancients used to say the setting sun 'was reddening'!
我追逐的是陽光下閃亮的露水、菸樓、牛車，或是趴在豆田中，拍大片原野盡頭的夥房（客家人的三合院），那時美濃的空氣汙染還不那麼嚴重，我真的體會到為什麼古人會說夕陽『紅』了。」
