This land that my parents had known was one where telephones, televisions, and refrigerators were not common household items; where no indoor plumbing existed; where husbandry dominated the land; and where bicycles rather than cars and motor scooters were the primary means of transportation.
在父母親的記憶中，這塊土地上，電話、電視和電冰箱都極為罕見，室內也都沒有自來水設備，土地利用仍以耕作為主，主要交通工具仍是腳踏車，而非汽車或摩托車。
