...write dirges? The answer surely is no. There are many other emotions and moods which music can deal with or engage with. And similarly with art.

Many might think that the swine flu outbreak may have prompted WHO's Director General to give Taiwan the green light to join its governing body, which meets once a year, but the invitation has been rumored for weeks in Taipei. During the SARS crisis in 2003, Taiwan's application was rejected because of Beijing's opposition to their entrance. As China's next door neighbor, Taiwan was greatly impacted...
