＜ 黑人三兄弟 台灣安親班 ＞
　　　　Many people probably aren't used to the sight of a black Santa Claus, but the children notice nothing out of the ordinary as they play with them. At this kindergarten in Kaohsiung's 鳳山 , the teachers use humor as an integral teaching accessory. School owner David has a wonderful relationship with his students, but ten years ago when he first arrived in Taiwan, his job searches turned up mostly dead ends. Persevering, he opened up his own bilingual kindergarten four years ago, making his own dreams come true. He has also married a Taiwanese woman, and they have a daughter. Because business is so good, his two younger brothers have also moved to Taiwan to help out at the school. The sight of the three brothers having fun with the children is a sight now familiar to area residents.

The yellowed discharge papers are a part of history, and the old soldiers say that never in their wildest imagination would they have guessed that the old military compound would be turned into an art and music park. Yang has invited all of them to attend the New Year's concert which will be held here on the evening of the 31st. Yang says that he hopes that all the soldiers who once sweated and were trained here will return to witness the historical moment.
