"I never wore new clothes before I was ten, only the secondhand clothes given out by the village church," he says. Five years ago, when he was living in Taipei's Minsheng Community and was out walking with his wife, he would often see bundles of old clothes put out at the refuse collection points at the ends of streets.
「十歲前沒穿過新衣，身上穿的都是村中教堂發的『二手衣』」，他表示，五年前他住在台北民生社區，和太太在附近散步時，常在路口的垃圾收集站裡，看到一包包被丟棄的舊衣服。
