＜ 扁倒數衝刺 上午拼北市 ＞
　　　　Chen arrived at a Taipei City rally to show his support for the five DPP candidates running in the northern district of the City.

PRESDIENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF CHINA
CHEN SHUI-BIAN:
(Ah-bian and Mayor Hsieh can't eat or sleep. So you have to support the pan-green camp to get rid of Ah-bian's worries.)
Chen attended two rallies in the morning, and at 保安宮, he once again reiterated that state-owned enterprises have to change their names.

PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF CHINA
CHEN SHUI-BIAN:
(Some people say that only enterprises with "China" in their names can be profitable. But does Wang Yong-ching's "Formosa Plastics" have China in its names? He uses "Formosa," yet still earns money, isn't that right?) Chen once again criticized Lien Chan and James Soong, and urged voters to help the pan-green win the majority in the Legislature in order to end the latter's dominance.

＜ 連戰記者會 配票藍分裂 ＞
　　　　Just how did the vote distribution strategy break up unity between KMT and PFP? In a KMT press conference on Wednesday, Lien Chan urged the importance of winning majority in the elections. However, press focused on the pan-blue's allocation of votes. The KMT's earlier arrangement had implied tensions between it and the PFP. In response to the questions, Lien stressed that although the two parties will not merge before the elections, the issue will be seen to after the election. Lien also responded to President Chen's criticism of forming a cabinet by insisting on the proposal. This is the first time the KMT has deployed vote distribution.

＜ 馬輔選子弟 搶救丁守中 ＞
　　　　Accompanied by Taipei City Mayor Ma Ying-jeou, independent candidate 林正修 campaigned at Shihlin's 中正 Road. This is the sixth time that Ma has campaigned for Lin. Ma says that his support for Lin does not affect the pan-blue's election situation in any way. KMT candidate 丁守中, on the other hand, said that he wished Ma would spend some time campaigning for pan-blue candidates. Ma's incredible popular appeal was also on display as a female driver became too engrossed in watching him and forgot to step on her brakes, ramming into the scooter in front of her. Fortunately, neither party was hurt. But does the campaigning of candidates on intersections adversely affect traffic? Ma says that he will definitely review the situation.

＜ 竹科電子業 不孕比例高 ＞
　　　　This is Cathay General Hospital. In Hsinchu, centers for reproductive medicine and infertility are filled with patients like this every day. Most patients are engineers from the nearby Science Park. Or, what press calls, "electronic nobles." It seems that males who work in the Hsinchu Science Park are more susceptible to infertility than the average male. Doctors say that salaries at the Science Park may be lucrative, but an equal amount of pressure comes with the territory. Most engineers marry at later ages, which further decreases chances of having a baby. Among couples from the Science Park, one in three have difficulty bearing a baby. The ratio is 10 percent more than the national infertility rate. As a result, many couples resort to medical science. It isn't unusual to see patients undergo artificial insemination. It seems that, despite the prestige, members of the Science Park community still have their share of everyday troubles.

＜ 星機票大戰 來回一千六 ＞
　　　　Since morning phones in travel agencies could not stop ringing, because everyone was calling to ask for the low fare tickets by JetStar Asia from Taipei to Singapore. Now you may wonder how low is the low airfare. Don't be surprised, it's 1788 nt to fly from Taipei to Singapore in the first week of the promotion.
However, the airline does not offer any food to passengers. Seats are narrower and there's only one departure time everyday, which is departing in evening and arriving to to Singapore in midnight. So travellers need to spend one more night of hotel fee. Maybe it's not that worthwhile if you calculate everything. This promotion by JetStar Airline had made an impact to the market. Singapore Airline also came out with a promotion of Taipei and Singapore round trip ticket for only 1688 nt dollars starting now until January 20th. Taiwan's Eva Airline and China Airline did not follow, with ticket price still selling for 11,000 nt to 12,000 nt. The cheap airfare offer JetStar Asia does not include airport tax. Therefore, passengers have to add 3000 nt to the ticket price. For those who want to travel but don't want to spend much, this is the perfect chance.

　　　　一大早,旅行社的電話聲不斷,因為大家都是打電話來詢問由捷星亞洲航空台北到新加坡的低價機票。所謂的低價真的會讓你跌破眼鏡，起航第一周，飛新加坡只要1788元不只沒餐點，機上位子也比較小，航班時間也是傍晚起飛，到新加坡已經深夜，要多花住宿費。也許算一算，不見得划算，但已經對市場造成衝擊，新航也推出來回1688元。即日起到一月二十號。而國內兩家航空公司長榮和華航,目前還在觀望,沒有跟進,票價還是維持在一萬一到一萬二。捷星亞洲航空推出這麼便宜的票價,不過並沒有包含機場稅等項目，加一加還是要三千多元，儘管如此，還是真的很便宜。想要搶便宜的遊客可得把握機會！

＜ 尋找太平輪 追思和徵人 ＞
　　　　During the civil turmoils in Mainland China in the years of 1945-1950, the Pacific Ship traveled between Shanghai and Keelung, transportingover 2 million Mainlanders, with theirgold and silver, to Taiwan in search of refuge. In those days, Pacific Ship played a crucial role in the conveyance
of passengers across the Strait. In 1949, just as the ship embarked from Shanghai, full of passengers and cargo, it clashed into trade boats around the 舟山 islands. It resulted in the tragic deaths of 1500 passengers. To this day, family members have difficulty accepting the fact. There were 36 people who were rescued at the time. Ms. Chang was one of them. To commemorate the incident, the party central of the DPP invited families of those who died to East Coast Pier in Keelung to offer flowers to the Pacific Ship memorial. As it has been well over 50 years since the incident occured, it isn't easy gathering historical facts. The Pacific Ship Incident Team calls out to anyone who has had contact with the ship or those involved, to come forward and help piece together the facts.

　　　　往返於基隆和上海的太平輪,在1945到1950年間,因為大陸地區政局動盪不安,當時有超過200萬的外省籍人士,帶著金銀珠寶跑到台灣來避難,太平輪當年就扮演往返兩岸載運大量旅客的重要角色,不過在1949年,滿載人貨的太平輪才剛離開上海,就在舟山群島附近與商船發生碰撞,造成1500名旅客落海罹難,罹難者家屬的傷痛,至今還無法平復。當時全船僅有36人獲救,張女士的母親就是其中之一,為了還原這段歷史傷口,民進黨中央黨部族群事務部特地邀請當時落難者的家屬,到基隆市東岸碼頭的太平輪海難紀念碑前獻花致意。不過因為發生船難的年代相當久遠,許多歷史資料蒐集相當不易,尋找太平輪計畫專案小組呼籲,當年曾與太平輪有過任何接觸的關係人,能夠提供寶貴的資料,以便還原歷史真相。
