Monkey Lantern for Yuan-Shiao Festival

The fifteenth day of Taiwanese Lunar New Year, called ‘Yuan-Shiao’ (元宵). It’s a big festival on this very day, kids take the paper lantern in the evening and light the inside candle on the crowded streets. This ‘Yuan-Shiao Festival’ will be coming by February 22 next Monday. In regarding to this ‘Monkey Year’, government has allocated the budget to decorate the monkey lanterns in the cities and counties around Taiwan to increase the jolly moment. However, the key is to sigh the great land returning to Spring, and expecting the showers of blessing to come upon this island.

Taiwanese people are the best people in the world with the excellent characteristics, but lack of a qualified government to do the good governance. Consequently, Taiwan lost a decade, and people expected to change, hoping that ‘Monkey Year’ will be able to turn over. But there’re fortune tellers predicted that ‘’Monkey’s character is tumbling, easily and suddenly upside down…” Although Taiwan has already elected a new Madam President, but it’s actually not to easily get better because she is facing those diplomatic and internal affairs in disorder for over one decade. In addition, the other existed big issue is, many entities of corruption unjustly occupied the crucial fields on Taiwan, especially, they despise the international treaties for Taiwan is not a member of UN, and in very serious for the infringement of intellectual property rights. Nevertheless, we still make prayer in due season to worship the Most High for his blessing.
