It's not a spring dinner party; instead there are twenty or so plainly dressed people sitting in a circle engaging in a discussion, their voices steeped in the local countryside accent. They use Mandarin, Taiwanese, and Japanese interchangeably, attentively discussing the way to prosperity for local industries with the visiting Japanese scholar Miyazaki Kiyoshi.
非為春宴，廿幾位衣著樸素、語帶鄉音的人士圍坐交談，他們國、台、日語並用，專注地與來自日本的宮崎清教授討論地方產業振興之道。
