This April when the Lan Temple in Ta-chia held its Matsu festival, I urged the more than 80 students in the drama department to also go to participate in the procession. The activities lasted for eight days and seven nights--but only if they actually went through this would they know the challenge of art and the real meaning of setting down roots.
今年四月，大甲鎮瀾宮的媽祖進香團活動，我也要戲劇系八十幾位師生一起去參加繞境，「轎前戲」演了八天七夜。惟有苦過，參與過，才懂得什麼是扎根，才知道藝術的痛癢！
