※Mr. Lu Quan-En -- Challenges and Perseverance
Master Lu Quan-En’s dream is to develop the interest in weather observation into a profession. We see his efforts on the importance of promoting weather through our interviews. For example, when attending activities held by farmer’s association, he educated them about the damages brought by salty wind. He also observes weather everyday and uploads the results to social network online. In fact, everyone wonders why he is still persevering under tough conditions?Through his answers, we learn that he knows “nature gives and nature takes,” by experiencing the raging typhoons. In order to reduce the damages, he began to write weather articles and posted online. His efforts slowly draw public’s attentions and responses.

Master Lu Quan-En’s observation instruments have been followed him for ten to twenty years. They went through countless natural disasters, so these old friends are slowly breaking down through time. He had to rely on internet funding, but the project did not last long, so many instruments are not functional.
It’s a blessing for the public that master Lu Quan-En can upload his observation records every day. The challenge he faces right now is undoubtedly the lack of funding. In fact, he has always applied for national funding but it was never accepted. Therefore, the support from the internet is no doubt the biggest help. He always considers weather observation as his duty. His perseverance is developed since childhood. If you want to persevere on doing one thing, you have to be passionate about it. Secondly, you have to boldly go for it and are not afraid of failure. Master’s daily observation record keeps us safe day by day. His every bit of persistence is selfless dedication. From an ordinary observation station on a vacant lot to the Silver Star weather station now, he has spent many time and effort, went through many obstacles, so that he can have the accomplishment today.
