Encounter like duckweed：
Encounter like duckweed means two strangers meeting each other by chance. In other words, "to meet by chance like patches of drifting duckweed".
In our lives, we experience so many instances of meeting followed by parting. Each time, we are filled with different emotions, different extent of joy and sorrow. This cycle of meeting and parting often makes us confused, as we are forced to depart from the people we have just met.
This situation of meeting and parting is similar to the instance of floating duckweed.

Not too many songs can live so long in everyone's heart as "The Moon Represents my Heart", which has been sung in all Chinese communities for 35 years.
Almost every Chinese knows that Teresa Teng sang this song. But very few people know the original singer is actually Fan-Lan Chen.
When the composer, Ching-Shi Ong, talked about this song, he said, "I felt lonely during days I was studying abroad in Boston." He was 38 years old at that time. He often took a walk to the park nearby, observing the loving couples in the park, and fell into a state of melancholy.
After returning to Taiwan, Ching-Shi Ong gave this song to Leico Records for publishing, and the song was in Fan-Lan Chen's album "Dreamland". Later, Teresa Teng heard the song and found it suitable for her. Before this, no one could imagine that a song could be so famous. Then, more than 80 artists from Taiwan, Hong-Kong, Japan, and other countries, have sung this song. There are also more than 30 pure-melody versions.

Biung, a creative singer/songwriter from the Bunun tribe in Taitung. He has written and produced many songs in both the Bunun language and Mandarin. Simply by playing the guitar and singing with his natural, clear voice, Biung has shown us the songs he truly wants to sing.
The night before Biung left home to pursue his music career, his grandmother took him to the backyard and said, "My beloved grandson, I have a present for you." Grandmom pointed at the moon and said, " I want to give you the moon. No matter where you are, the moon will always be there. If you ever struggle, remember, just watch the moon. Through the moonlight, my prayer will be with you."
Biung wrote the song "Ana tupa tu" in Bunun language for his loving grandmother. He would also like to share with you this special gift and blessing: "We should feel happy even when we lose what we used to rely on, because the moonlight will always be there for us..."
