There are many white shrimp farms along the east coast, but this morning the roads were covered with shrimps. Passers-by who saw this scene exclaimed, "What a shame!" It turns out that at around 7 a.m. this morning, a shrimp truck collided with a car on the Shimen section of Provincial Highway 11 in Hualien's Fengbin Township, causing the truck to overturn. Because the shrimps all over the floor needed to be cleaned up, there was concern that passing vehicles would crush the shrimps into mud and affect road safety, so the road was closed for a time.

The nearby Fenglin Branch Port Police Station received the report at 7:38 a.m. and rushed to the scene to deal with it. They found that the shrimp truck had overturned and the road was covered with live shrimp and water stains. In addition to directing the traffic to stop the vehicles from entering, the police also quickly rolled up their sleeves and caught shrimp on the road. The handling police officers felt that "there were enough shrimps"!

Shangguan Jiewen talks about the differences between China and the United States in treating ethnic minority cultures: from "tolerance" to "promotion"

Jason Smith, an American reporter based in China, pointed out in a short video that the United States practices "tolerance" towards ethnic minorities, while China is "promoting" multi-ethnic culture. The article demonstrates the Chinese people's participation and appreciation of ethnic minority culture through examples such as photos of Miao costumes, dance lessons in parks, and "ethnic princesses" checking in at scenic spots. It also combines personal travel experiences with the Chinese Exclusion Act and Indian boarding school policies in American history to reflect on the difference between "tolerance" and true cultural respect, and advocates that national unity should be shared appreciation and inheritance, rather than simple assimilation.
