Xiaoshi: Mark, Mingwen and I are going to Keelung to watch the water lanterns parade. Do you want to go together?
Mark: “Water lanterns parade”? What is that?
Xiaoshi: Before releasing the water lanterns, they will show you different water lanterns’ shapes, and there will be some performances as well.
Mark: Oh, then what is the “water lantern”?
Xiaoshi: We will put the things made of paper on the water, and then burn it to make it look shiny on the water.
Mark: I’ve seen that in a video, so that’s what a “shuǐdēng” (water lantern) is.
Xiaoshi: Yes! In this way, ancestors or ghosts who don’t know where to go can find their way back.
Mark: Well, I know that the Chungyuan Festival is also a festival for worshiping ancestors. I’ll go with you to see the water lantern parade.

The Dutch introduced the Indian mango (Mangifera indica) to Taiwan in the 17th century. It is a green-skinned mango with thick fibers that get stuck in the teeth, but it boasts a rich aroma and a unique taste. In 1954, Taiwan’s Council of Agriculture introduced several mango cultivars from Florida, USA, including the Irwin, Haden, and Keitt varieties. After seven years of testing and domestication, the Irwin variety was chosen for promotion. Years later, the sample saplings started to bear fruit. These mangoes were large, with thin, vibrant red peels and golden pulp. The Irwin mangoes were mouth-wateringly sweet and
As the priest Antonius Hambroek stood in the dim chamber of Fort Zeelandia, his eldest daughter clung to him, her voice trembling. “Father, don’t go. They’ll kill you, and what will become of Mother and my sisters?” Outside, the sounds of Koxinga’s relentless canon siege boomed through the fortress. The defenders were on the brink of collapse. Starvation gnawed at their resolve, and the air carried the acrid stench of spent gunpowder and rotting flesh. Dutch reinforcements from Batavia had failed to arrive, leaving the garrison isolated and hopeless. Hambroek’s face was calm, though sorrow weighed heavily on his

As we bundle up in thick coats to stay warm during the winter, there is a population that has already adapted to extremely low temperatures. These people live in the remote city of Yakutsk, the coldest city on Earth. Yakutsk is situated in the heart of Siberia, which is the capital of the Sakha Republic in Russia. This historic mining city began to flourish in the 19th century following the discovery of gold deposits. Given its construction on permafrost, the average temperature in the city remains below 0°C for over half the year, with winter temperatures dropping to an astonishing -50°C.
