Lin Hsin-Chen (Pen Name: Small Grass)
Plants are the longest-lasting species on Earth. In the plant kingdom, grass is dispensable. A small piece of grass emerges from the crack to survive and thrive, withstand wind and rain, sun and night dew. A blade of grass is exposed, allowed to be trampled on and withered to death. Still, it stands tall and strong with vitality. It doesn¡¦t give in to its adversity, and it doesn¡¦t feel inferior because of its insignificance. I determined to do the right thing, be myself and not be selfish but give back to the society. I am grateful for the peace and comfort that Taiwan provides. It is what my pen name comes from. I wish you all peace and health!
