<*tranquil solitude> (2012 words) |
 | Yunlin is a balanced individual who can understand and appreciate the views of others as well as her own. |
| Unless Yunlin also has in the Chinese version either the numbers 5 and 7, or the numbers 4 and 8, she will be hypersensitive and prone to stress-related problems. |
| Without the numbers 3, 5 and 7 in the Chinese version, Yunlin is likely to use her head at the expense of her heart, which can lead her to become something of a workaholic. |
| Support falls for major parties in leadup to Taiwan presidential election (1216 words) |
| A local election held last weekend in Yunlin, a central Taiwan county, saw the ruling Kuomingtang Party (KMT) win only 26.4 percent of the vote and trail in third behind an independent candidate and the main opposition Democratic Progressive Party (DPP). |
| Among those who campaigned in Yunlin was Lee Teng-hui, the current president of Taiwan; Lien Chan, the serving vice-president and the KMT's presidential candidate for next year's poll; current Taiwanese premier, Vincent Siew, its candidate for vice-president; and a host of government ministers, legislators and supporters. |
| In the course of the election, Lee pledged that the Kuomingtang would transform Yunlin, one of the poorest districts in Taiwan, into the island's “number one economic and industrial centre within 10 years”. |
