After making more than 20 evening visits to Sanying, and another five or six to Xindian's less troubled Xizhou Aboriginal Community, he realized that attitudes towards him had changed. Where tribespeople initially chased him away, they were now willing to sit down and talk "like friends and brothers."
迄今他夜訪三鶯部落二十多次，當前爭議較小的新店溪洲部落也去了五、六次，他發現，族人對待他的方式，從最早的「轟出去」，到現在願意一塊兒坐下聊天，「像兄弟、好朋友一樣」，不再劍拔弩張。
