翻譯 Translation
Qingqing: Huahua, do you know the fairy tale The Wizard of Oz?
Huahua: Of course. It’s a very famous American literary work. It’s not only a storybook but also often adapted into movies and stage plays.
Qingqing: Yes, but have you ever seen a Chinese version of the performance?
Huahua: No, I haven’t. It’s hard to imagine Dorothy and the Scarecrow speaking Chinese.
Qingqing: You can see it this week at the Taichung National Theater. Are you interested in going with me?
Huahua: Sure. The Taichung National Theater is a cultural landmark in Taichung, and I haven’t visited it yet. It would be a great opportunity to check it out.
Qingqing: Let me quickly check if tickets are still available. If they are, I’ll book them right away.
Huahua: No problem, thank you.

Imagine the thrill of diving into the ocean, holding your breath, and exploring underwater worlds without any modern gear. This is the life of the haenyeo, South Korea’s sea women. Armed with only diving goggles and handmade tools, these skilled divers venture into the ocean’s depths to manually harvest marine products like abalone and seaweed. The haenyeo tradition, dating back to the 17th century, was originally dominated by men. However, a combination of wars and deep-sea fishing accidents created a shortage of male labor.
