February 28 is a national holiday in Taiwan to mourn for the pity souls murdered by the Chinese government back in 1947. The Chang-Kai-Shek government took over Taiwan from the Japanese in 1945. A horrible political oppression was enforced on Taiwanese people since then, and had lasted for 50 years. Well-educated gents, teachers, and doctors were arrested and murdered during that period since the Chinese government wanted to take full control of the Taiwanese.
It's a sad story to tell. But the post is more relaxing. I took the liberty to go on a hiking trip with a friend and her friends. Our main focus was on Tinmum Hiking Path. We separated around noon at Yang-Ming Mt.. I enjoyed a carefree afternoon and wandered around Yang-Ming Mt. park a bit.

I can't remember how long it has been since I saw a wild monkey back in Kaohsiung.
On the way to Yang-Ming Mt. Park, some ladies were making pickled cabbages and raddishes under the Sun. Those vegetables were pickled with salt and dried under the Sun.
