My noblest dream
Image drawn by Patrick Lin, my boyfriend, for the poem :)
I saw a space
I wanna build a home.
I saw a paddy
I wanna build a home.
My greatest, noblest dream
is to build my kingdom
across the Komalan plain.
Then to rename
the Komalan
to HOME-MY-LAND plain.
— Translated from Ji-Lin Zhang (張繼琳)’s Renaming Komalan Plain (將蘭陽平原改名)
*Komalan plain, also know as Yilan Plain, Lanyang Plain, is a beautiful plain in Yilan County, Taiwan.

我想蓋房子
看到稻田
我也想蓋房子
我最大夢想
就是在蘭陽平原
蓋滿房子
然後將蘭陽平原
重新命名為 —
蘭陽屋原
