【Words from Heart】NT$5,000* saved my family of 12
In the 1950's, my mom bought an old house with her hard-earned savings of NT$5,000*. It's an small house built in the Japanese colonial era that housed our family of 12 with its 33 square meters of living space. The boys slept on the top bunk, while the girls slept on the lower bunk. There was no toilet or bethroom, so we had to ask our neighbors if we could use theirs.
