However, The difference between what the author experienced and the fisherman experienced is that the fisherman had a delight surprise after crossing the forest; he saw the Peach Blossom Spring and everyone lives happily in the village. However, the author did not see anything that delightful at the source of water; instead, she saw an empty abandoned warehouse that was no longer used.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle admin_label=&#8221;Toggle&#8221; title=&#8221;Stop 8 Analysis&#8221; open=&#8221;on&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This is the whole story of the author to explore sluice gate and what it is outside, which is similar to the story of Wuling people to explore Peach Blossom Spring. However, she is not able to find any place like peach blossom spring. This contrast reinforces the author\u2019s frustration from the transformed city. The fisherman kept getting beautiful things in the Peach Blossom Spring during his continue exploring, while the author did not see anything welcoming or \u201cUtopian\u201d during her trip to the river bank.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Note: 1. &#8220;<em>\u65e0\u8bba<\/em>\u4eba\u5f71&#8221; adapts the structure of &#8220;<em>\u65e0\u8bba\u9b4f\u664b<\/em>&#8220;. \u00a02.

By juxtaposing the quotation from Peach Blossom Spring that describes the utopian village that the author is longing for: <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The clothes they wore were like those of ordinary people.

It reflects the reason why she lives in Taiwan. The author came to Taipei with her father because of political issues in mainland china, just like the people in Peach Blossom Spring. The difference between the author\u2019s situation and that of the fisherman is that the villagers lived a happy and satisfied life in the Peach Blossom Spring and that they did not have to worry about what dynasty is outside of their world. On the other hand, although Taiwan is part of the world and can connect with the outside, people who moved to Taiwan started to get used to the situation and loss the curiosity to explore the outside world, and things in Taipei lost history and colors that they used to have. Even though the fisherman marked the place when he left, he couldn&#8217;t find the peach \u00a0blossom spring when he came back. For the author, all the places are &#8220;clean and unmarked&#8221;, there is no clue at all for her to find her Utopia again, so she began to wail &#8220;What is this place?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_toggle][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Peach Blossom Spring A reading route prepared by\u00a0Yilin (FLAC), Chenchen (FLAC),\u00a0Peter, Jae The narrator compares\u00a0the fisherman Wuling&#8217;s experience in the Peach\u00a0Blossom Spring\u00a0with her own experience\u00a0in Taipei.
