翻譯 Translation
Qingqing: What are you listening to? You seem so happy.
Huahua: I’m listening to Indigenous music. It feels very different from the usual pop songs.
Qingqing: How did you suddenly become interested in this? You never mentioned it before.
Huahua: A while ago, I met a friend from Taitung. He introduced me to some aspects of life and culture in the Indigenous community, and I found it really interesting.
Qingqing: There are currently 16 recognized indigenous tribes in Taiwan, each with its own unique characteristics. And they don’t all live in the mountains; many have lived on flat land for a long time.
Huahua: Yeah. Sometimes, you wouldn’t even know unless they tell you, but you can often tell when they start singing. They tend to be very musically talented.
Qingqing: By the way, Taoyuan has been hosting a series of “Indigenous Peoples Joint Harvest Festivals” since May this year. Check online for the time and location—you might still catch the tail end of the events.
Huahua: Thanks for the heads up. I’ll check it out right now.
