"Because of this, I've spent a lot of time collecting and studying historical material," says Chung as he describes how he has interviewed elderly Hakka men and women, researched the tiniest geographic details, and examining a variety of classical textual sources. "I did all this on the strength of these two legs and this pair of eyes," he remarks.
「所以我花了很多的力氣在歷史材料的蒐集與考證上，」他說，包括訪問耆老、細究地理環境等田野調查，到翻找、查閱各種古文獻，「就靠兩條腿和一雙眼睛。」
