Stray Dog

Taunted in primary school for not being able to speak Mandarin, LIN Jin-xian later became a teacher of the Taiwanese language and a scholar of regional cultural history. But the fate of a substitute teacher is that of a drifter, and his in-depth research in cultural history no longer has practical application. LIN looks back on his life and realises that he is like a stray dog, with an unknown future.
