牛只知辛勤工作不問收穫,默默地奉獻犧牲,是台灣精神的最佳寫照。曾在苗栗銅鑼看到許多牛隻在溪中戲水,場面撼人,為讓畫面生動,加入相互嬉戲、捉泥鰍、拾河蜆的孩童。
Water buffalos know only hard work—they don’t ask for any reward and silently offer themselves in sacrifice. They are an optimal illustration of the Taiwanese spirit. Once at Tungluo in Miaoli County I saw several water buffalos enjoying themselves in a stream, and the scene touched me. To enliven the composition, I added some children having fun catching loach and picking up river clams.
