interviewee
:
1. Q: How many years have you know Chee Shan Rock? How has it changed?
A:
(1).It's
been too long. I'm 70 years old.
(2).It used to be a religious place, and now it's become a
library. Some stones were destroyed, but memorials are added; and the
most important lesson for me is that the Japanese are not all
"evil", some of them, especially those who educate, are quite
memorable.
2. Q: Why did this place become level 2 artifact of our country?
A:
We know what it was
a national treasure, and even though we don't know how old it dates back to,
but what's more important is to preserve it.
3. Q: What interests you the most about Chee Shan Rock?
A: It's hard to explain to you how we reminisce the past history. As for the snakefrog stone, they're simply imageries that people can look at.
4. Q: Which legend impressed you the most?
A:
"Mr.Six."
In
the old days Taiwan was basically an agricultural society, and people had no
spare money to get education. But the Japanese thought that education
was so important to us that they provided free education to all those in
need. This is very touching to me. And it is a historic
fact. Those six Japanese teachers took a grave risk teaching here, but
they thought that it was worth their lives to educate Taiwanese, and so in
that tragic accident where robbers mistaken them for rich teachers ( because
they assumed that teachers must be rich, not knowing they are simply employed
by the government ), it was sad that they should get murdered.
5. Q: Human skeletons were discovered here. Do you think it should be open to the public?
A: People are now talking about that again. I think for bones like this, we should wait for experts to tell us what to do.
6.
Q:
Do
you find this place suitable for exercises and activities?
A: I think only for small sports like dancing and Kung Fu. But I'd like for all those who come here to help preserve the environment.
7. Q: Which facilities would destroy the environment? What other reasons might do the same?
A: The reasons are complicated, many modern things would destroy this place.
8. Q: What can my generation do for this place?
A: As long as you don't break or bend branches when you climb mountains , we welcome the world to see this wonderful place.
interview(2)
date: 12/10/00
reporters:Pan yeeshuan, Hong chienhun, Soo jiachee
tools:tape recorder, notebook, camera, computer
interviewee: Mr.Liu lileh
1. Q: How long have you known this place? How is it different?
A:
60
years.
There used
to be a lot of ancient things like the stonefrog, stonehorse, but now almost
everything is gone.
2. Q: Why is this place level 2 artifact of our country?
A: This place is even older than Dragon Mountain Temple. It is about 350 years old, but it's a shame that we need to restore it.
3. Q: What interested you the most?
A: Memory garden.Memory garden used to be the old Hway Jee Temple, and now we can use it to play chess and chat. It's great.
4. Q: Which legend impressed you the most?why?
A:
Mr.Six.
At that time, it costs $2.00 to get education, but they decided to teach for
free, and their students were all declared by the government to become
officials or generals. It's a shame that robbers had to murder them by
accident.
5. Q: Skeletons were discovered here. Do you think it should be open to the public?
A: Yes, we should, so that our children get a sense of history.
6. Q: Do you think this is a suitable place for exercise and activities?
A: Yes, because people can both work and look at old sights.
7. Q: Which facilities would harm the environment? What other reasons are there?
A: The wooden trails and the exercises might do that.
8. Q: What can my generation do for this place?
A: Keep the place intact for the future.
