Xiaoshi: I am writing the character chun [spring].
Mark: That looks interesting. Are you preparing for Lunar New Year?
Xiaomi: Yes, I will put this up at home as a prayer for good luck.

Xiaomi: Yes, in addition to chun, fu [bliss] is another commonly used word during Lunar New Year.
Mark: Is “blessing” the same as fu? I guess you wish good luck in the new year.

Heavy rain brought by Typhoon Ragasa caused the barrier lake above Matai’an Creek in Hualien’s Guangfu Township to overflow on Sept. 23 of last year. The sudden rush of water and mud destroyed a major bridge and swept through nearby villages, leaving significant damage in its wake. The barrier lake was formed in July, when heavy rain caused landslides and blocked the creek’s natural flow. As rainwater built up, the lake grew increasingly unstable. When Typhoon Ragasa hit, the water level rose rapidly and finally overflowed. In the aftermath, volunteers across Taiwan, known as “shovel supermen,” stepped in
