I TOOK THE TRAIN
TO PINGXI…..The first time I sent a lantern to heaven to honor my mentor, film
director Kurosawa Akira…..The second time I thanked Taiwan for the peacefulness
of Pingxi, Tamsui, Hsimenting, Taipei 101, the Non-Violent Transfer from a
50-Year Old Dictatorship to Democracy, Hands Across Taiwan, and the Million-Person
Sit-In, instead of Hajj, the Ganges, and soccer riots,….The third time I prayed
that Taiwan would have a visionary, humanistic, effective President who would
not sell Taiwan to China, developers, bankers, or controlled media corporations…..
