A wallet lost in Hehuanshan (合歡山) was found and returned through the mail five months later, its owner said on social media.
A man from Nantou County surnamed Huang (黃) shared on Facebook that he lost the wallet in August at Hehuanshan. On Sunday, it was returned by a wilderness enthusiast surnamed Chiang (江), with all NT$1,000 accounted for, minus the cost of postage.
Huang, also a nature enthusiast, said that on Aug. 2 last year he drove toward Hehuanshan’s north peak campsite to spend his holiday alone, only to find near Kunyang (昆陽) that his car’s timing belt was broken and that the water pump was failing. He called a mechanic and was delayed for two hours.
Huang arrived at the north peak at 3pm and fell asleep. He returned home shortly before nightfall, to find that he had lost his wallet containing his identification cards and money, he said.
Five months later, Huang received a call from Chiang, who said that he had found the wallet and had mailed it to Huang with all its contents except for the postage, Huang said.
The wallet arrived with a friendly missive inviting Huang to be friends with a fellow wilderness enthusiast, Huang said.
He was “deeply touched” by Chiang’s honesty, he added.
Taiwan's Vice President Hsiao Bi-khim (蕭美琴) said Saturday that she would not be intimidated by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), following reports that Chinese agents planned to ram her car during a visit to the Czech Republic last year. "I had a great visit to Prague & thank the Czech authorities for their hospitality & ensuring my safety," Hsiao said on social media platform X. "The CCP's unlawful activities will NOT intimidate me from voicing Taiwan's interests in the international community," she wrote. Hsiao visited the Czech Republic on March 18 last year as vice president-elect and met with Czech Senate leadership, including
There have been clear signs of Chinese Communist Party (CCP) attempts to interfere in the nationwide recall vote on July 26 in support of Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) legislators facing recall, an unnamed government official said, warning about possible further actions. The CCP is actively involved in Taiwanese politics, and interference in the recall vote is to be expected, with multiple Chinese state media and TAO attempts to discredit the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) and undermine public support of their recall movement, the official said. This interference includes a smear campaign initiated this month by a pro-Beijing Hong Kong news outlet against
A week-long exhibition on modern Tibetan history and the Dalai Lama’s global advocacy opened yesterday in Taipei, featuring quotes and artworks highlighting human rights and China’s ongoing repression of Tibetans, Hong Kongers and Uighurs. The exhibition, the first organized by the Human Rights Network for Tibet and Taiwan (HRNTT), is titled “From the Snowy Ridges to the Ocean of Wisdom.” “It would be impossible for Tibetans inside Tibet to hold an exhibition like this — we can do it. because we live in a free and democratic country,” HRNTT secretary-general Tashi Tsering said. Tashi Tsering, a Taiwan-based Tibetan who has never
A first shipment of five tons of Taiwan tilapia was sent from Tainan to Singapore on Wednesday, following an order valued at NT$600,000 (US$20,500) placed with a company in the city. The products, including frozen whole fish and pre- cooked fish belly, were dispatched from Jiangjun Fishing Harbor, where a new aquatic processing and logistics center is under construction. At the launch, Tainan Mayor Huang Wei-che (黃偉哲) called the move a “breakthrough,” marking Taiwan’s expansion into the Singaporean tilapia market. Taiwan’s tilapia exports have traditionally focused on the United States, Canada, and the Middle East, Huang said, adding that the new foothold in
