"The last time I came back from working on a boat, I was surprised when I couldn't find my own home. I learned that the government had expropriated the land. My parents had nowhere else to go so they moved to Taipei and built a home for themselves by the Dahan River."
「最後一次跑船回來，我竟找不到自己的家，一問之下才知道，土地被政府徵收去了，爸、媽無處可去，只好跑到台北，自己蓋房子，住在大漢溪邊。」
