In half a life things have gone smoothly, without any big ups or downs. What bothers him most is that he hasn't been able to make any progress in pushing cremation. Penghu natives are attached to their ancestral land and unwilling to leave it. It's all the more so for their tombs.
他的大半輩子平平順順，沒什麼大起大落，比較煩心的就是由他專責的墓政工作老是推不動。
