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.
