Taiwan details: a lifestyle choice

entering the country at Taoyuan Airport, he habitually ranks behind his yellow-skinned and black-eyed compatriots. It took a long time to realize that here, those blondes and I are the same kinds, and we should take the "foreigner" channel. It was late at night when I first arrived in Taipei. It was a small crossroads so small that it might be more appropriate to say "alley entrance", but there were traffic lights. When the red light came on, a motorcycle stopped quietly and waited, as if he didn't see any traffic in the direction of the green light, as if he didn't know it would take only a second to cross the intersection. But I soon found myself making a mountain out of a molehill because the figure waiting like that could be seen everywhere. Taiwan is the kingdom of motorcycles, with thousands of horses galloping during the day and neatly parked by the side of the road in the middle of the night. In Taipei, few people drive a private car during rush hour. The middle of the main road belongs to the bus, unimpeded; there are motorcycle lanes, bike lanes, carefree; private lanes are sandwiched in the middle, making it difficult to walk. Therefore, without the slogan of environmental protection, most people choose to travel green. When I took an escalator in Taipei for the first time, from time to time, with the sound of nbsp; "excuse me" and nbsp, an apologetic sound flashed from behind. After wondering, I found that I was "dominating" on the left side. So hurriedly moved to the right side of the line, looking at the traffic on the left side of the people all in a hurry, then suddenly under the heart. Even in Taipei Station, the busiest transportation hub, when people pour into the escalator entrance, they will consciously turn into a trickle on the right side, leaving the left side for people in urgent need.

Taipei Station Hall

the hall of Taipei Station is empty and there are no waiting seats. The passengers sat in small groups on the marble floor, drinking water and eating snacks, as if they were having a picnic in the green fields. Unfortunately, the floor is as clean as a mirror and there is no rubbish. & nbsp; there are night markets famous for snacks in many parts of Taiwan. My favorite is the night market on Kenting Avenue, it is said that there are thousands of stalls, but not only orderly but rarer is that the road is not messy. The merchant will put a plastic bag on top of the drink cup and the packing bag and hand it to you. In my experience, this is not only easy to get (I hook a bag with one finger and eat three dishes and one soup while walking), but also easy to take away the garbage. Dustbins at scenic spots in Taiwan are hard to find. I used to hold a popsicle stick at the Confucius Temple in Tainan, but I was unable to "sell it" for a long time. Although I was holding sticky ground, I didn't dare to throw it away when I saw the clean ground. Since the people are so conscious, then setting up fewer dustbins can reduce the work of the cleaners.

take the Taipei MRT, the greatest feeling is quiet. It's not that no one listens to music and plays games, it's just that they all wear headphones or mute; it's not that no one is talking, but the volume is always in the range of not disturbing others-nbsp;-- people are very strange, as long as you behave in an apology, others will not regard your interruptions as interruptions. It is rare to see them crowding the Beijing-Shanghai subway here, but once I got on the train and found a vacant seat in the sea of people, I sat down happily. All the way, I always felt the strange look in my eyes, but later I found out that it was the special seat of philanthropy & nbsp. The most frequently heard word in Taiwan is "thank you". On the road, when pedestrians give way to cyclists, they are bound to hear a "thank you" with a smile. I called the hotel but didn't have a room. There was an apologetic "thank you" to comfort you before I hung up in frustration. When passengers get off the bus by ringing the bell, they must say "thank you" to the driver before leaving. When you take a taxi and check out at the place, there is always a polite "Thank you, Please take care" to see you off. Nbsp;-- Taiwan's "taxi brothers" seem to be middle-aged men in vests and straight backs, elegant and gentlemanly. When we arrived at the restaurant, the sound of "thank you" was even more frequent, even asking the waiter to help me with an empty plate. 

I was about to say thank you after he delivered it, but he first said, "Thank you, the empty plate you asked for." businessmen and service providers in Taiwan seem to be grateful to their customers, saying "Thank you", giving people the impression that paying the bill is not a deal, but an act of goodwill. There are many temples in Taiwan, which can be found in every square lane. As the "Taiwan Railway" walks through the countryside, from time to time we can see the flying eaves of the temple leaning out from the trees. On TV, there are many Buddhist channels, with all kinds of monks fluttering in their clothes, holding a microphone, and talking eloquently on the stage, not only about Dharma but also about life, ideals, world events, and reading experiences. An old monk with a solemn face, as well as a youthful and energetic Mini, came to the stage with a sentence: I found that today's Hi was so hot that I saw the Nebula mage once, but he was talking about writing. He has a particularly reasonable saying: "articles that people can't understand are best written, and articles that people can understand as soon as they are read are the most difficult to write." "the words on the description board of scenic spots in Taiwan are not only understandable, but also people like to read. For example, in Taroko, Hualien, a text introducing mountain cherry blossoms reads "leaves that attract ants: if you look carefully at the junction of petiole and leaf, do you find a pair of small round processes?" This is called a gland, which secretes substances to attract ants to absorb. Why are you so nice to ants? Because when ants come, they can help plants get rid of harmful insects. " I carefully read this large paragraph of text, and also looked closely at the "glands" on the petiole, and even in the Imperial Palace in Beijing, the description text as tasteless as an ID card, I have never read it carefully.

the morning after leaving Kaohsiung, they stopped by Kaohsiung High School near the hotel. I was surprised to find that the principal's office was on the first floor of the teaching building, and the desk was almost facing the door. During the Spring Festival holiday, the unoccupied office only covered a screen window door with a panoramic view. I think that on weekdays, students can "supervise" the headmaster at any time when they come and go in the aisle, and they can push the door at any time if they have great grievances or suggestions that they think are great. Is it a screen window? You can "listen to heaven" with a loud voice outside the door. With only one detail, I believed what long Yingtai said: "the government building of the Taiwanese is open, and there are no guards at the door to check his papers." He went in and out of the government building as if he were in and out of a shopping mall. He may happen to see the mayor passing by, and he can run over and ask for an autograph on the spot. " When I encounter problems in Taiwan, I like to find their public officials, because I can always get patient and detailed answers. On the evening of returning from Tainan to Taipei, I queued up at the railway station to buy tickets. The ticket seller, who looked like BYJ, told me that the tickets were sold out. Without waiting for me to lose, he said in a slow voice, you can take the "Guoguang" passenger bus, the station is not far from here. Then, while talking about the direction, he sketched with the paper. He doesn't look impatient at all, and the passengers behind him also look calm-you won't get angry when waiting in line in Taiwan. After all, no one will jump the queue, because everyone will get the same quality service, what's the rush? When I got out of the railway station, I was about to find it according to the picture drawn by my younger brother, but I looked up and saw the bus stop-- just opposite the railway station, and there was a line of buses at the door. It was difficult not to see it, but it was a pity that the younger brother had a good painting.

A five-hour drive from Tainan to Taiwan NATO should be a rare long-distance route on the island, so special entertainment equipment is provided for customers: tablet computers are installed in front of each seat, and you can listen to music, watch movies, and play games. I began to see that I didn't provide headphones, and I wondered how noisy it would be in the car later. Unexpectedly, they were very skillfully designed, and the sound source was embedded in the back of the chair, so it could only be heard by the back of the head, and even the neighbors would not be affected, so even if there were dozens of small screens lit up in the car, it was still a quiet night. When you wait for a bus in Taiwan, you won't be in a hurry, because the electronic screen of the stop sign will show that each bus still has a few minutes to arrive at the station, so that you can feel at ease from the bottom of your heart. There is an extra sign on the back of Taiwan's buses and buses, which "reveals the name of the driver." In this way, drivers, like "well-known" public figures, not only dare not offend passengers but also pay special attention to building personal brands. Just like a bus from the ancient city of Anping to the railway station in Tainan, the driver is simply in possession of Brother Xian, commenting on scenic spots and complaining about current politics, with jokes and witty remarks flying at the same time. There was a girl on the bus who was also from the mainland. she couldn't bear to get off when she got to the station. She said to her companion, "listen again and wait until the next stop before you come back."

people waiting in line for the bus

my local friends took me for a ride. Passing through a road, he said that a subway line had just been built here for several years because the road construction in Taiwan would not be completely closed, and half of the lanes would always be left for the convenience of the public, so it was very slow. Passing through Xinyi Road in the city center, I saw a piece of open land. He said that the land had been empty for a long time because the real estate developers were talking to the owners nearby to build a large piece of land. Nbsp;-- is very difficult to demolish in Taiwan, and it is impossible to demolish a building without buying it, so Taiwan is full of decades-old houses, and even downtown Taipei rarely has new buildings. Because it was New Year's Eve, my friend took me to burn incense at Longshan Temple, where the incense was at its heyday. What impresses me most is not the splendor of Longshan Temple, but the Yuanyang Park across the street. There are many homeless people in the nbsp; "homeless" & nbsp;-shaped corridor in the park. In the middle of the night on New Year's Eve, the sea of people across the street did not affect them from playing chess, drinking, and playing Rest on the floor. Friends say that they are very leisurely, and there are often philanthropists to hand out love lunches. The authorities also expelled them with Water Gun to clean up the city, but there were & nbsp; "legislator" & nbsp; spoke for them, there were people in support of them, and it was the officials who made the last public apology, while the homeless were still leisurely.

the most beautiful scenery of Dingtaifeng is undoubtedly the transparent kitchen, showing transparent confidence

We went to the world-famous & nbsp; "Dingtaifeng" & nbsp; to eat very simple Xiaolongbao, beef noodles, egg fried rice, but once the simplicity is extreme, it is more amazing than delicacies. My friend introduced me in the same way, and everything encouraged me to take pictures. every time I tasted it, he couldn't wait for my evaluation, as if Dingtaifeng belonged to his family. When we arrived at Yonghe soybean milk, we realized that what we sold was completely different from that on the mainland. My friend asked me what to drink a little nervously, and I was curious to try & nbsp; "rice milk" & nbsp, he heaved a sigh of relief and praised me for knowing the goods & nbsp;-- "rice milk" & nbsp; is actually peanut milk, peanuts are finely ground and have just the right consistency. 

Then I went to the so-called ancestor of pearl milk tea & nbsp; "Spring Water Hall" & nbsp; to taste the tea, which smelled good because of the good Tieguanyin. He smiled at my taste as if he were the boss there. I asked him why Taiwan's cities are so well managed. He only said one thing: the average academic qualifications of officials in Taiwan are the highest in the world. I asked him why Taiwanese are so polite-I know that Taiwan's Sinology education is very solid, is it because of the influence of Confucianism? He scratched his scalp and said, "No, no, no. Because I saw a live-action movie on CCTV in a hotel in Kaohsiung, I vomited a slot on Weibo. A strange Taiwanese netizen left me a message, hoping that I would tell him the name of the hotel, and he would reflect it to the municipal government, hoping to sweep it away, because "the tenant may have children." I guess he must have "a lot of energy." he says that he is an ordinary person. "many people in Taiwan have a lot of positive energy so that the people are in charge, and only under the supervision of the whole people can society make progress." When I boarded the Xiamen Airlines plane on my way back, the flight attendants greeted me politely at the hatch, but I suddenly felt that "this is already the mainland." Is it intonation, figure, or expression? I don't know. I feel that this kind of politeness, is a kind of performance due to the needs of the character, so it is as eye-catching as a prosthetic limb. For Taiwanese, it is as natural as eating and walking. Therefore, when long Yingtai analyzed why the Taiwanese did not have a high desire for reunification, he said, "where is the confrontation between reunification and independence between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait? For most Taiwanese, it is a lifestyle choice, extremely specific, real, and not abstract at all. "
