Is there any train station that broadcasts its realtime train information in any indigenous language in your country? Yes, there is at least one in Taiwan -- Hualien Train Station.
For the Amis, Qin-Mei Xu, to work for Hualien train station and to broadcast in Amis is not only to keep bread on the table, but also to see the surprising and happy faces of the Amis elders or the Amis who came back from the other cities -- when they hear she broadcast in Amis!
Xu even puts on the traditional costumes of the Amis people every Aug during the Harvest Festival, and tries to broadcast in Amis more often, because she knows that, this is a simple task for her, but a meaningful action for her people.
