"The troupe couldn't support the dancers, so the dancers went back to their homes in the mountains to make their living hunting. Now, the troupe only gives performances when a big tour group makes reservations in advance; it gets in touch with a few dancers who live nearby and puts on a show," says a dispirited Shao tribesman.
「舞團養不起舞者，夥伴也就解散回山上老家打獵討生活，現在只有偶而事先預定的大型旅遊團來時，舞團才會召集住在附近的舞者回來表演」，愛跳舞的邵族男孩迪路感傷地說。
