You were spotted on a bustling highway.
Tiny, ugly, tailless and terrified.
Your little body trembling with fear, a strong urine stench was emitting from your body.

A week later. I woke up to you snuggling in my bed; pillow to be exact, securely, warmly.
Since then new house laws were enforced.
My bed was your bed. I was your mother. I was your favourite human who provides you unlimited food and endless playtime.

You then befriended Twelve and Monkey.
Three of you shared a bed, a blanket, a bowl of water.
But not their food.
You, however, welcomed them to enjoy your bowl of kibbles generously.
My first thought was: what a loving cat.
In hindsight, you probably thought: The human will refill my bowl with fresh kibbles. Two of you can have my leftovers.

You were named Goku for two reasons; too vigorous as a kitten and for a long time I believed you were immortal, just like the manga character.

4 months later we moved.
You grew into a rebellious teenager. Longed for a taste of freedom and the outside world.
Your free and wild spirit wouldn’t keep you home. You broke the mosquito net and habitually left house for wildlife adventure.
Once you didn’t return for one and a half day.
Your picture was up. I canvassed the neighbourhood and called for you.
Nothing.
I thought you were gone for good. You craze for freedom after all.
The second night you returned meowing for food and water and snuggles. I performed a dramatic scene.
I believed you understood my performance, because ever since, you never once spent another night out.
You always come home.

Your freedom didn’t come free. It came with three cat bells.
When the three cat bells jangling they played as a smoothing refrain.They became my lullaby that reassured that you were around, healthily, happily.
And it calmed my anxious heart.

You. My lizard catcher. My life saviour.
My whole life, the relationship between the lizards and me have been fiery.
Shrieking, bouncing, yelling when there’s one.
You appeared to protect me from them.
I felt safe under your surveillance.
Despite some odd days you instinctively showed appreciation by bringing one to bed, at two in the morning, your appreciation is very much appreciated.

But now my lizard catcher is gone.

The walls creaked the night you left.
Lizards paraded in the house, hissed loudly, as if they were celebrating victory their biggest enemy, my lizard catcher has gone forever.
I loathed them for that.

Over the past one month, home has become something else.
It feels empty without your surveillance.
Soundless without your bells jangling.
The bed and pillow feel naked.
The air smells bitter and heavy and icy.

My body and imagination have gone riot.
Every insect I see around the house I suspect that is you come back to pay a visit.
Then my lungs behaving strange. Like a puntured balloon that will never reach a full measure of oxygen.
My heart feels like its sinking one inch deeper into a dark abyss each time I think of you.

A few times the baby at next house cries and I mistaken that is you that came home meowing for me.
Only to be reminded you are gone.

And I feel abandoned.

The day I planted your ashes in the white Morning Glory.
A butterfly dropped by.
Watching me place your Morning Glory on your favourite, regular spot near the gate, carefully, peacefully.

Now whenever my hearts sinks one inch deeper.
I step out of the house and stare at you; your white Morning Glory.
And I see you: your obstinacy, your haughtiness, your delicacy.

Your White Morning Glory, it’s growing free and it’s growing wild.
Just like you.

I put down my dignity,personality and obstinacy for the sake of you who I can’t put down.

President Tsai Ing-wen left the KMT with no alternative but to occupy the Legislative Yuan for a parliamentary boycott

The Kuomintang legislators have occupied the Legislative Chamber to protest against the nomination of former Presidential Office Secretary-General Chen Chu to head the Control Yuan. The move is made by President Tsai Ing-wen!

Since the Democratic Progress Party (DPP) took power on May 20, 2016, the DPP has disregarded public opposition and brutally passed bills with superiority. Opposition parties’ proposals did not exist any chance to be voted, and this had led to a lack of communication with the opposition.

This year, the Tsai administration has become more tyrannical than before. After the outbreak of COVID-19, the Kuomintang (KMT) proposed to introduce the Special Act on COVID-19 Prevention, Relief, and Restoration. However, the Tsai administration arbitrarily disregarded the proposal. As the coronavirus pandemic grew, the Tsai administration rushed to pass the Special Act.

When the businesses urgently needed bailouts, the Tsai government firmly opposed the stimulus checks proposed by the KMT; believed by the public as the best way to the economic bailout, whereas the Tsai administration insisted on a complicated plan that the public cannot understand.

During the Dragon Boat Festival holidays, the highway was ever congested for 36 hours, but Lin Chia-lung, the Minister of Transportation and Communications, said: "It is the people’s choice to be involved in the traffic jam," This is not an appropriate attitude from a standing party to respond to the public. Lin Chia-lung’s ignorance completely demonstrated how overbearing the government is!

Today, Chen Chu, a nominee from Tsai to be the President of the Control Yaun, disqualification of whom is already a “consensus of the public”. Instead of facing up questions about Chen's qualifications for her notorious record of corrective measures and impeachments, President Tsai resisted withdrawing her nomination of Chen. Tsai's obstinacy had left the KMT with no alternative but to occupy the Legislative Yuan for a parliamentary boycott. KMT’s action today is the only way to get President Tsai Ing-wen back on track!

改編詞：吳易緯

是誰的靈魂碎片鋪滿荒蕪房間
Who's soul is scattered in this deserted room
隱形卻比荊棘尖銳
Invisible, yet sharper than thorns
現實對著夢狩獵 有傷口卻不流血
Reality against imagination, there is wound but no blood
怎麼熬過無聲黑夜
How to get through the soundless nights

逃避沒有出口 誰敢承認犯錯
Evasion has no exit, but who dares to admit their guilt
勇敢才擁有真正的解脫
Courage is the only escape
害怕顫抖的手 我學著合十緊握
I learn to grasp my hands tighter when they tremble with fear
給自己一個承諾
and make myself a promise

破曉的時刻 未來是我的
At daybreak, I'm in control of my future
嚐遍了苦澀 倔強是我的
After all the bitterness, obstinacy is mine to keep
心會發光的 微弱卻炙熱
Hearts will start to glow, dimly but warmly
信仰愛就有可能
Just have faith in love
你會發光的 When You Live For Love
You will start to glow, when you live for love

我發誓我再也不要做後悔的影子
I swear I'll never live another day of regrets
每刻重新詮釋
relive each moment
生命在倒數計時 不夠讓我們奢侈
Our life is on the clock, there is no time to waste
想愛就不要掩飾
Stop hiding from love

逃避沒有出口 誰敢承認犯錯
Evasion has no exit, but who dares to admit their guilt
勇敢才是我們唯一的自由
Courage is our only liberation
不再顫抖的手 闊步昂首地走
No longer trembling, I walk on with my head high up
去實現我的承諾
To keep myself that promise

像個孩子笑著哭著流下領悟的淚
Like a child I laugh and cry, the tears of realization roll down my cheeks
洗去不知不覺無法避免沾附的謊言
Wash away the lies that followed me unavoidably
我信仰 明天
I believe in tomorrow

When You Live For
WhenYou Live For Love
When You Live For
When You Live For
When You Live For Love
