我支持樂生，雖然也許做不到守護更罔論捍衛，
但我支持樂生。
不只為了那座山坡上多多少少的大樹和生物，
也為了社會應有的公平正義，也為了這塊土地上欠缺已久的價值。
短視近利和迂腐不是我們需要的，卻到處充斥。
為了台灣更好的未來，我支持樂生。
雖是個很錯綜複雜的議題，但訴求很簡單：保留文化資產、維護社會正義。
星期六從樂生回來以後心裡很急，真的不知道可以做些什麼；
星期天的公民前線論壇稍稍給了一劑強心針(「學生們衝吧，中生代的社會運動者給你們靠」的感覺)。
有深深的感覺以後會漸漸跟現在的交友圈分割，
大家畢業以後會慢慢的進入體系，稍稍反抗，慢慢習慣，然後慢慢屈服，
跟"替天行盜"裡面說的一樣：「如果年輕的時候不是左派，那就是沒良心；如果中年以後還是左派，就是沒大腦」。
我也許會遇到很多「同志」，但也會有很多挫折、很多失望，常常會有無力感。
已經可以想像有一天跟同學們聚在一起的時候說出來的話會是大家不再感興趣的東西...
有可能連爸媽也會無法理解，甚至有可能不認同，這會是條漫長的路吧。
但我已經知道我不會孤單;)
你們都說我很屌，但其實我根本不算什麼，我從來沒被抓過，也沒有遭警方痛毆然後載到郊區「放生」過，也從來沒有因為參加什麼活動而承受各方壓力和有色眼光。
真的很佩服那些真心投入、義無反顧的大學生們。
不知道要有多大的勇氣和信念才能走到今天這一步，
更何況大部分的時間得到的都只有挫折、打壓、誤解(現在終於比較有點了解老師說做「人」這一塊的辛苦了)，對抗的是財力、權力大的不成比例的現有體制和團體。
所以，也為了這群為捍衛理想和價值勇敢站出來的人們，我支持樂生。
最後，也為了珍古德說的「身為人的價值」，我支持樂生。
寄了以下的信給我的外國朋友們，感謝他們熱烈的迴響，希望會有所改變。
請大家也可以告訴大家
Dear all,
Sorry for the joint mail. I'm writing you this out of desperation. There is this very depressing thing going on now here. The 'great' Taiwanese Government is going to destroy Losheng Sanatorium, which has been a home for leprosy patients since the Japanese colonial time. Leprous patients were really ill-treated some decades back, but it doesn't seem to improve now in the 21st century..... The patients were forced to move in Losheng and now forced to move out because WE want modernity. Not to mention they are to demolish a whole hill (a biosystem that is!!!!) to build a ridiculously huge metro station in the middle of nowhere........ (More info please see the links below.)
I've been to Losheng a couple of times and have some friends who are struggling everyday trying to save this place and 'this part of Taiwan', but there are only few of us, most of whom patients and university students. We need more help from everywhere, though I'm not sure how much it will affect the government policy. Maybe some more pressure from outside would be a lovely surprise for my gov.
We are really worried and desperate..... :S They plan to come in Losheng on the 16th of April, which is less in a month. Some students have formed a patrol team to 'guard' the Sanatorium in case the police and excavators take action at night, which they did to another similar case in Taipei last month. Please help forward this to your friends even if you've no interest in the issue. Thank you!
Loads of love
Ishu
