In Tainan, scooters are the main mode of transportation rather than public transportation for both young and old. As I stood by the side of the road watching the traffic, I noticed a scooter with an elderly couple on it. The wife is holding the steering wheel and the husband is sitting in the back seat. The husband was gently placing his hand a little on the wife's shoulder.
The elderly couple were waiting at a traffic light at an intersection. When the light turned green, they began to move their scooter in a calm tone, instead of jumping out with vigor like the young people. Their appearance seemed to testify to their long years together and their harmonious relationship.
The scooter slowly moved through the intersection, gradually becoming smaller and smaller. From its back, there was a sense of peaceful everyday life and unchanging affection.
