Many of my foreign friends keep asking about
-
how this students-led movement is going in Taiwan. I'm so happy to have heard
-
from your concern about this issue. I'm tired of typing you know
-
so I'm now making this footage
-
and shortly brief you guys about this event.
-
Well, would you just please wait a second because I need to finish this
-
sunflower ...Um...
-
This is a really good and you know what,
-
This Sunflower has become
-
Taiwan's most popular fruit now. All right,
-
let's get back to the main talk. The movement,
-
like I said, is the way that a number of Taiwanese
-
citizens fight for their democracy and their future because
-
of our government's improper handling on signing
-
an agreement with China to open the cross-strait economy,
-
which we all think will have a strong negative
-
influence on Taiwan. Yesterday,
-
30th of March, an important rally was launched
-
and could be regarded as the most remarkable one
-
on Taiwan's demonstration records. This campaign drew
-
more than half a million participants to stand out
-
in Taiwan's capital Taipei and it showed
-
how Taiwanese people hand-in-hand to fight
-
for more democratic and
-
promising future under a peaceful, rational,
-
and enthusiastic foundation. Well,
-
would you just please hold on a second again and stay tuned,
-
because I want to eat my Suncake. I'm so much hungry.
-
Umm...
-
Tell you what, this Suncake
-
has become another Taiwanese mostly favored snack
-
but I have to declare that
-
this cake was 100% bought by me
-
I didn't steal it
-
You know what? During the March 30th's Rally, we all were just like the same family to
-
cooperatively listen,
-
share, comment, and sing to voice our
-
demands to the government. In addition,
-
an incredible number of donated foods
-
drinks and necessities by people around Taiwan
-
was sent to different venues and and
-
and distributed by more then a thousand hot-blooded
-
volunteers to the participants who came from
-
different parts of Taiwan. I was so much touched
-
by such a scene
-
You know, the campaign was carried out and
-
ended in a peaceful and organized way. And this will definitely set a
-
good example for
-
any other country or protests
-
or demonstrations around the globe. You know what
-
an American friend of mine told me that
-
this is his first time to witness an extremely
-
democratic, perfect, and peacefully-
-
going demonstration. Here I would like to show my gratitude to all those who have
-
gone all out to make the
-
the movement going so successfully. Thank you! Thank you so much
-
Without your efforts, we wouldn't have a chance to step forward
-
and fight for our rights. As for our president
-
you might have done something which is believed by many of us to not
-
to not adopt a proper and rational method
-
regarding the Service Trade Pact, but I still would like to
-
say thank you for your hard work, because
-
what you have been doing may be out of a good intention
-
for a better Taiwan. I still hope
-
you could pay more attention to students demands
-
and let's work hand-in-hand to work out
-
a win-win solution, shall we? No matter what
-
I prayed for this Event to have a wonderful ending
-
and no matter what major decision
-
will be made in the end, Taiwan will be only going
-
on the way towards a brighter future.
