It's noon on Saturday, and the air reverberates with the excited clamor of children let out of school. Mei-yueh leads her younger brother Jen-ti, who studies with her at Pinglin elementary school, back home through the narrow alleys crowded with traffic and pedestrians.
星期六中午，空中激盪著孩子們放學的興奮聲調，美月牽著同在坪林國小就讀的弟弟仁帝穿過擠滿人、車的狹窄巷道回到家。
