A melange of mirth and pain flits across Chang's face as he describes the situation in the weaving business 30-plus years ago: "A catty of rush mat cost NT $ 10 back then, and we'd turn it into four hats that sold at NT $ 2.5 apiece. Hell, we were working for free."
回想起三十幾年前手工編織業的景況，「那個時候一斤藺草賣十元，可以編四頂帽子，編好之後，一頂賣兩塊半，算算剛好夠成本，簡直是在做『白工』，」張憲平說完，臉上的笑容交雜著不為人知的辛酸與辛苦。
