The sea-walking folk of Yunlin dream of going to Taipei to wear high heels

General News By Emily Carter 0 views

Our Taiwan Reading Club Social Care Association visited them in Mailiao, Yunlin, for two consecutive days. Faced with the pain and helplessness in their hearts, we actually had no ability to help at all; the people with the ability are the representatives at all levels whom they elected. I saw the meetings they convened: not a single one of the invited legislators and councilors from the coastal area attended to show concern, and they did not even bother to send some minor flunky as a representative, no wonder they often say that the people's representatives have in fact been "befriended" by corporations. This is truly a heavy topic!

If the mountain will not come to Muhammad, then Muhammad must go to the mountain - let us change the subject and turn to the mountain!
I saw that these grandpa-aged Yunlin sea-toilers all take very good care of their wives, and I brought up the "men wearing high heels and carrying babies" wife-doting contest in Taipei.

As they talked, their wives actually encouraged them to go to Taipei City to compete…..

These sea-toilers were stumped, and went outside the door to discuss privately: we are used to not wearing shoes, so how are we supposed to wear high heels!

One of the sea-toilers, who spoke with a voice like a great bell, said:

My wife gave birth to two babies, and she did not dare to bathe the babies; I washed both babies until they grew up….

The organizer's rule of the game is that only a group of five people can form a team, so they decided to find one more sea-toiler to join. The Yunlin sea-toilers really were going to launch a northern expedition…. Later,
I found that this sea-toiling grandpa very seriously wrote the date and place on his palm,
and they very seriously discussed: where are there high heels that fit big feet like ours?
They have always lived barefoot, working hard on their own native soil, and in the course of Taiwan's social and economic development they have also lost the innate fishing rights to go out to sea freely,
I look at them optimistically struggling and holding fast to the sea-toiling life handed down from their fathers, and I also see their footsteps of cherishing their wives and children. Really, who can find them high heels that are comfortable to wear?
Let them use urban methods to converse with the city, and let them speak of the bitter road of these twenty years and the sea-toiling road they do not fear? The following are the details of the event that I simply cannot explain clearly; the only keywords I told these fishermen were: love your wife, respect women, carry babies, and wear high heels contest:
