Wandering along old Tienhsia Road, in the alleys and courtyards between the old houses one can still see one or two grey-haired old women sitting on low stools in the light from the courtyard, skillfully weaving articles such as hats or shoe soles, more by feel than by sight.
在天下路老街上散步，偶爾從老屋的川堂巷弄中，還可看到一兩位灰髮蒼蒼的老婦搬條小板凳、就著天井透下來的日光熟練地摸索草編，或是帽胚、或是屐墊，往日的輝煌歲月只剩下寂寥蒼老。
