When the Portuguese saw Taiwan for the first time, they could only shout "Ilha! Formose" ("Beautiful Island"). For the next four hundred years, Taiwan survived under the rule and authority of Portugal,Creat Britain, Spain, Holland, Japan and China. Also,in the most recent past,Taiwan's enviroment and natural ecology have been badly treated,destroying what was a beautiful island and the enviromental pollution has endangered the existence of all the lives in nature. Taiwan, our beloved Taiwan, the sea around us is so
vast, the mountains are so high, the grasses and forests are always so
green, so wonderful and so beautiful ─ the whole world praises you
