New Year's Eve 跨年夜

As soon as coming off duty at 5 p.m. yesterday, I set out to Fa Xiang Cun, an aboriginal village near the famous Qing Jing Farm, to greet the coming year of 2008, arriving at 11:30 p.m.. That means I spent 6 hours on driving to get there and I felt rather tired indeed. It should be a peaceful night, but some villagers were full of anger and caused trouble during the night party because the reconstruction of all villagers' new houses never started. It's been more than 8 years since the horrible 921 Earthquake and many villagers passed away in their broken huts, unable to see their new dwellings. I can realize why they did that, but just can't see why the government stopped building residences two years ago after constructing the new elementary school campus. Please save some diplomatic commission to help them, my Great Government.

昨天下午五點下班，我便動身前往發祥村（清境農場附近的一個原住民部落）去迎接即將來臨的2008年．到的時候，已經十一點三十分．這表示，我花了六個小時在開車，的確我也覺得有點疲累．這該是個平和的夜晚，不過有幾個部落人在晚會期間發脾氣，鬧場，因為所有部落人的新家重建工作，完全沒有開始．可怕的921地震至今已超過八年，許多部落人在殘破的屋中逝世，無法親眼看見新居．我能理解為何他們滋事，但就是不能明白為何政府兩年前蓋完小學的新校園後，就停止建造民居．偉大的政府，請省下些外交佣金來幫幫他們吧!
