他匆匆忙忙地奔忙著

回到他的故鄉尋找

往祖宗牌位尋找

詢問鄉人尋找

拿鋤頭掘地尋找

卻怎麼也尋找不到他的根

他仍不放棄希望

更用盡心力不停地尋找

尋找得像一隻無頭蒼蠅

尋找得筋疲力盡

還是尋找不到

最後他在他的脈管裡

找到了答案——

原來血液告訴了他

根就叫DNA

Root-Seeking　　Hsu ChiCheng

He busies himself running around

He goes back to his native place to seek

To seek from within his ancestors’ memorial tablets

To seek from his native people

To seek by digging into the ground

But he fails to find his root

Still he does not abandon his hope

He is on the seeking without sparing any effort

Running around like a chicken with its head cut off

He is exhausted

Still he fails to find it

Finally he gets the answer

From within his vein —

His blood tells him the answer

The root is DNA
