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.

In cities around the world, a group of enthusiasts practice this seemingly impossible sport — “parkour.” The origins of parkour can be traced back to 20th-century France. A military officer named Georges-Hebert witnessed the incredible physical abilities of local residents in Africa, which inspired him to create the Methode Naturelle, or natural method. This training method cleverly combined climbing, running, and swimming with artificial barriers to mimic nature. Later, David Belle
Street lights are often taken for granted until a power outage plunges the world into darkness. When that happens, the value of these lighting installations becomes evident as the world turns into a more dangerous place for pedestrians and motorists alike. The Chinese could claim to be the first to have constructed a crude type of street light. Around 500 BC, residents of Beijing employed a type of street lamp that used hollow bamboo pipes and natural gas vents to create burning torches. Later, ancient Romans adopted lamps fueled by vegetable oil, which relied on slaves to light and
