Autumn is a time for reaping and to give thanks. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, a lot of schools are going to receive the gifts of “strangers”—the “Turn Around Riders” documentary school viewing DVD. All of these gift-givers who are strangers are all readers of the UDN Papers, the eldest being ninety-two years old, the youngest, just six-months of age.
There are, two elderly individuals who’d sponsored the DVDs, one, a retired teacher, Ying, she’s donating to the school she’d taught, for over decades, the Du-Xing Elementary School in Taichung; another, Mr. Tong, who’d sponsored thirty DVDs, the most in the single donors’ group, the eldest of the donors.
“Tong” is a false name, taken from the meanings of “When we were together”. Back then, when he’d fled from China to here, his life hung on a thread once because of working too hard and malnutrition. And to this day, he’d not stopped reading, worried about the country’s affairs, and constantly giving encouragements to the younger generations.
And, there are, many other, like this elderly man here, of all the ages, who’d donated the videos to the needed places, because this movie is about dreams, about how young teenagers are able to, live out their dreams, set a goal, and accomplish their goals, through riding around the island, it’s, an encouragement, for all, who wanted to just, take that swing, to make something of themselves!
