XU, Li-Min

Hello, I’m teacher li-Ming, this has been my seventh year in Manjhou, the reason I came here is because I didn’t study hard when I was in university, I was dispatched to this remote area at public expense. I grew up in urban district in Kaohsiung City; the only memorable thing for me is that I can catch fishes and frogs in the gutters near my home. Maybe this is hard to believe, but that is what used to be in Kaohsiung City, but it’s true, there are fishes and frogs in the gutters, by the time I grew older and taller, I went back to the gutters, and it was all dirty and black, there weren’t fishes, and you certainly can’t image kids catching fishes in the gutters again. Few more years later, the gutters becomes asphalt, and that’s where my childhood memory ends.

When I came to Manjhou county, I was like the frog just came out of the shallow well, what you can see it’s pure steams, and in the streams there are plenty of fishes, the kids take me to find the treasures under the muddy field, when they catches the Swinhoe's japalura (lizard), I have to pretend to be clam and tell those kids to set them free, when they catches the big fat Green red foot chafer, I can’t help with my possessiveness, I’ll beg them to give me some, when there is snake found in the school campus, kids will running from all over different direction of the school and try to catch it. Everything is so nature in here, the kids in here and the richness of the nature resources makes me hard to leave this place year after year.

There is no lack of specialty, landscape and humanities in Manjhou Township, but there is one significant tragedy behind all this, this township has the highest suicide rate in the nation, the wind blowing like typhoon for half of the year, needle like raindrops and coldness of the northeast monsoon, even now I feel depressed when the winds start to blows. That’s why I like Port Tea, especially from I-Shing tea garden, do you still remember what we mention before, the special of the Port Tea? Each of the tea trees is planted with unsuitable extreme weather conditions, it does not have fancy appearance compare to the normal tea treas. But with years of constantly exposed in Chinook winds and the test of sea breeze mist, it will have to do everything in order to survive in such extreme situation, it has to grow faster when there is sun shining above it, it has to defends itself when the cold and wind comes in order to make it through the winter. I look forward to the people in Manjhou just as simple and vigorous vitality as the Port Tea, no matter how difficult the nature it gets, we will make it one day, even we don’t have anything, but we still have hopes, in the end we will earn our honors, and at some point of time, we will look back and taste the bitter after sweet.
