My opinion:
     At March 8, 2013, it is the day of Taiwanese Event against the 4^th Nuclear Power Plant. After a year, March 9, 2014 is the anniversary of it. For the seven-in-one election, most of candidates use it as a part of their political views. Although it seems that they are going with the crowd, the issue about 4^th nuclear power plant should be faced instantly.
     As the result, the issue about 4^th nuclear power plant becomes political from livelihood. After Fukushima nuclear disaster and Three Mile Island accident, nuclear issues start to become more and more important. Days after days, some people may forget about it. Unexpectedly and ironically, this issue is reminded for the election. Let's cut to the chase and get start it.     To the 4th Nuclear Power Plant, most of people only know that it pose threaten to environment without knowing that they are doubled-edged in fact. As the saying goes, "Never follow like sheep." It is also the most important proverb that Taiwanese should learn now. As we all know, if there are nuclear power, there will be nuclear waste and radiation pollution, and they pose threaten to our world without doubt. However, most of us don't even know the importance of the nuclear power. No matter how, there’s no doubt that the new nuclear power plant poses horrible threaten to our environment. In fact, that’s the main reason why those protesters oppose their will against the government for Lungmen Nuclear Power Plant. Without others concern, these protesters regards their activity as justice in our society. They consider themselves to be the justice by means of pursuing trends, ignoring what the fact really is. What’s worse, the protesters and the supporters don’t realize the others thoroughly. To make this easy to understand, first of all, I’d like to explain the reason why the supporters think we need Lungmen Nuclear Power Plant. Just like Mr. Stewart, who was the first person to promote the concept of environmentalism, says environmentalism needs nuclear power. It might sound crazy; however, nuclear power is not only much more effective but also environmental, for the resource the nuclear power plant takes is far below others power. Further more, the power created by the Solar Energy is extremely low. Another thing hard to believe is that the solar panels produce really high pollution. That’s what the information that the protester ignore is. Second, as soon as we mention the nuclear power plant, it’s the pollution it causes that we care the most. Then, we will start to concern about the Green Island, where we stored the nuclear waste; not knowing that the nuclear waste placed there was the lightest pollution, like the clothes. But where’s those high-pollution waste? The fuel rods taking 5 years long to cool down were stored in the cooling bays in Taiwan. Nevertheless, Taiwan is too small to store so many fuel rods. Just like you do to a full garbage can, they pull them into the cooling bays. The same thing kept happening several time until now they dud the same thing to the fuel rods. Then, recently, the government mentioned the foundation of the Lungmen Nuclear Power Plant. No matter which side you stand, there will never be absolutely collect; however, it’s we are not the sheep following the reed pipe blindly that what really matter is.

[Chronicle of Events (大事記)] If You Know This World.

My opinion:

     Nowadays, most of us are living at his ease indoors without any awareness of the dark side in part of the world. As we are claim that it’s a world that we called it global village, we should put more emphasize on the events happening in other countries. Only if we can stand out for the underprivileged minority, will this world become better.

     First of all, I’d like to talk about the legitimacy of Crimean independence. The premise of Crimean independence is that they have to get the approval of the central government. If the central government does not approve the thought of independence, there will be countless public protests. Then, the government will suppress the riot by force of arms, and it’s the worst situation it can be. It’s so-called civil war. After the battle between government and the radical, if the government loses, the independence will become a war. In the meanwhile, if the radical lose, they are going to face the sentence of betrayal. The worst result is that both sides did not have the winner, the war will become massacre. They have to negotiate with the other side, and end up with draw or national disruption. In this news, if Russia makes a forced occupation, the so-called plebiscite is not legal, and will not get the national approval, even if the government loses the war. On the other hand, the intruders will be sentenced heavily. The occupied country can ask national help.

      Secondly, the future of Crimean independence is also worth of discussing. In my opinion, attended to the result of Crimean plebiscite this time, if this news is the prologue of Russian approval for the plebiscite, this situation will be exactly the same as Saddam Hussein’s annexation of Kuwait. If there’s going to have a war between Ukraine and Crimea, without the Russian support, there’s no way for Crimea to win the war, so we may think this news is good for Crimea; however, it’s not as simple as we thought it is, this could become double-edged situation. Assumed that Russia is going to have a war with Ukraine in public, America and NATO must have action. In that case, Russia will lose completely even if Russia gets the support from China.

     Last but not least, the influence of this news to Taiwan is also a question we can think about. If the situation happens like above, Ukraine must become the side of America and NATO. In this case, China will lose their army support from Ukraine, especially on Chinese aviation industry. On the other hand, Chine have to explain their claim of not involve in the politics of other country. Their support will become heavy influence in the future.

The Book I’d Never Read

     Among all the thing in our life, it's friendship that must be the most precious. When it comes to the issue, it will always remind me of the 14-year friend, Caroline.

     Everything can be traced back to 2001. Thanks to our fate, we get acquaintance with Caroline. The first day I met her still seems to be yesterday news to me. As soon as I knew Caroline, she had been an appealing and interesting girl, and I could feel something in my mind on the spot. Walking through 14 years and those countless hardships, we used to believe that nothing could separate us and we could be together for goods. However, no matter how great a party is, it will end, and so did us eventually. Last year, 2012, facing to our future, we had our first quarrel, for she wanted me to study abroad in America. Not knowing the reasons, I insisted studying in Taiwan or Hong Kong but not America. That was the first time for me to be stubborn, and the last time, too. Standing in front of the game of our friendship, I think that both of Caroline and I lost the game now. I missed her charming voice, short curly hair and the warmest heart that I had encounter. At the last day we met, it was a wonderful spring day; however, my heart was so cold that everything seemed to be frozen. The sunset of 14 years told us that we lost. That was the first time for me to face such sorrow emotion, and it was too heavy for me to bear, so I ran away. I ran away like a coward.

      That's how our story ended. After she disappeared as a shadow, the farther time went, the more I missed her. Starting to wander in my mind, I asked myself why this happened. There were a French book, L'élégance du hérisson, which was the last gift she gave to me, but I had never read it. Actually, I was afraid of reading the book, for that's my way to avoid the memory. Recently, I gave it a try to read the book telling about a mystery story but also appealing just like her. The story revolves mainly around the characters of Renée Michel and Paloma Josse, residents of an upper-middle class Left Bank apartment building at 7 Rue de Grenelle – one of the most elegant streets in Paris . A girl with a dream which is extremely different with others usual dream caused huge trend to literature of Paris. That’s committing suicide at her 13-year-old birthday, and she set fire to her home. However, due to my French is still too poor to finish the book, I hadn’t read the whole book, but I’ll hang on it! Though we may never meet the other, the book will always be the most precious thing for me.
