“I am Hsueh Cheng-yi, 25 years old. I will use all my energy and bring forth all your strength, to change and protect our homeland,” — this is the campaign slogan of Taiwan’s youngest councillor.
The Yilan County councillor on Facebook said she had received a large number of gifts before and after the new year. Hsueh said, because sending presents back and forth would be embarrassing, she only kept the fresh pussy willow plants and New Year couplets — all the other presents were returned. On returning them, Hsueh chatted at length with the people who had given them and attached her own handmade New Year couplets as greetings.
Hsueh said, “At first I thought it might seem a little unfeeling, since I must establish good relationships with individuals, businesses and companies, but I believe it should not be done through this kind of reciprocal exchange of gifts and burdensome etiquette. Hsueh believes relationships should be built up by both parties listening attentively, understanding one another and through actions. The views and support received from each person is the most precious gift of all.

這位宜蘭縣議員在臉書表示，過年前後收到許多禮物，因為互相送來送去很不好意思，於是只留著有鮮度的春聯和銀柳，其他禮物則全數退回，並在送回時與對方好好聊聊以及附上自己的手工春聯致意。
她說：「一開始覺得好像有點不近人情，因為我需要和人和公司行號建立良好關係，但我相信不應該是在這種禮尚往來麻煩禮俗上。」認為關係建立應該是在雙方花時間傾聽、了解和行動上，各位的意見與支持才是最珍貴的禮物。
貼文立刻引起網友力挺留言：「全部退回去，端正積習已久的歪風，讚啦~~」。

Earthquakes are among the most terrifying natural disasters, generating massive tremors and destructive forces as Earth’s crust shudders. These tremors not only lead to the collapse of buildings but can also trigger secondary disasters, such as tsunamis and fires. However, we can mitigate the impact on lives and property by mastering earthquake response techniques. The DCH three-step strategy, recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), is crucial during an earthquake. “D” stands for “drop.” You should immediately drop to the ground, using your hands and knees to support yourself. This position prevents you from falling and

It’s widely recognized that there are far more right-handed people than left-handed people in the world. Being right-handed simply means preferring to use one’s right hand for tasks that involve only one hand, such as writing and eating. But have you ever wondered about the possible reasons behind the global dominance of the right hand over the left? As with many complex biological questions, multiple factors appear to be at play. First, one reason seems to be genetics. __1__ Therefore, the global dominance of right-handedness is something that has been passed down through many generations of humans. Next,
