At that school were many teachers who had come to Taiwan with the Nationalists; they spoke with thick mainland Chinese accents and had spartan ways of maintaining order. If one student made one mistake, the whole class would be punished, with each student being struck on the thigh with canes as thick as water pipes.
當時該校有很多隨國民政府遷播來台的外省籍教師，濃重的鄉音、斯巴達式的威權教育，學生中一人犯錯，動輒全班連坐處罰，粗如水管的藤條打在大腿上。
