Today, courts in Taiwan ruled that presidential candidate Ma Ying-jeou is not guilty of corruption. Which means this popular candidate can continue with his campaign - which is nice. But what caught my eye in the article was Ma's response to the verdict and expression of confidence in the justice system. "No matter how high the mountain, it cannot block the sun," he told a news conference at his campaign headquarters. "I feel at peace right now. But this is just a beginning because the road ahead will be difficult."
"No matter how high the mountain, it cannot block the sun." We just don't hear these eloquent bits in North American politics, no reference to an ancient non-religious yarn of wisdom. Ma's words are somehow beautiful and calming. But that might be because I'm kinda Chinese.
