A miuda pergunta-me porque e’ que eu escrevi num post abaixo que Portugal foi homenageado so que Portugal nao o sabe.
Vou tentar explicar...
Taiwan, e' considerado pela maior parte do mundo e Nacoes Unidas como uma provincia da Republica Popular da China. Em Taiwan e em 20 e tal pequenos Paises do pacifico e Caraibas, considera-se Taiwan como um Pais independente, apesar de nao se ousar proclama-lo, pois a China ameaca constantemente que se tal acontecer, os 500 e tal misseis apontados ‘a Formosa entrarao em accao.
Tecnicamente, Taiwan esta ainda em guerra com a China desde 1949, quando os Chineses Nacionalistas (KMT) perderam a guerra civil contra os Chinese Comunistas liderados por Mao Tse Tung e se refugiaram temporariamente nesta ilha, 'a espera de se re-organizarem para o contra ataque. Esse contra ataque ainda nao se deu. Hoje a China, e quase a totalidade dos Paises do mundo, consideram Taiwan uma provincia renegada da China.
Voltando ao assunto presente, Portugal tem embaixada em Pequim e por isso nao tem relacoes diplomaticas, de forma explicita, com Taipei.
Os Taiwanenses devido a sua situacao politico-geografica, sofrem dum injusto isolamento internacional e dum certo imerecido complexo de inferioridade. Cada vez que algo internacional da’ conta da existencia de Taiwan, e' um "boost" para o ego nacional.
Este mega projecto TGV eleva Taiwan, a um nivel mais internacional, pois sera uma infrastrutura importantissima para a continuacao do desenvolvimento economico desta ja importante economia mundial (+/- 20a).
A empresa dona da obra (BOT system – Building, Operation for 30 years and Transfer to Taiwan government after the 30 years period), Taiwan High Speed Rail Corporation, liderada por uma senhora de 40 e poucos anos, Nita Ing, com uma humildade e carisma de alto valor, decidiu, juntamente com as intendidades governamentais de oferecer o desfile ao povo de Taiwan, como para lhes levantar o moral e lhes mostrar que Taiwan esta a ser ajudado por muitos paises apesar de nao terem embaixada em Taipei.
Assim convidou um individuo de cada das 18 nacionalidades que trabalham com ela, para desfilar com ela nas ruas da cidade de Kaoshiung (o Porto da Formosa), para marcar a chegada do 1o. comboio que chegou do Japao .
Foi por isso que tive um convite oficial para representar Portugal, e fi-lo com muita honra. Quando refiro que Portugal nao o soube, refiro-me ao nosso governo.
Portugal foi homenageado juntamente com outros 17 paises, sem Taiwan ter feito o pedido ao nosso Pais. Era so eu que la estava, de certa forma sem ter sido 'autorizado' but who cares. O que me fez ter bastante orgulho pela situacao e’ que ninguem o sabia' que ha so um portugues neste projecto e a nossa bandeira voava com as outras como se fosse Portugal em peso... dai o meu high.
Eu, apenas pela situacao e nao por ser alguem fora de serie, provoquei uma promocaozinha ao meu pais, e isso soube muito bem ;-)
Fico tambem contente por manter o espirito e a vitalidade que tinha quando acabei o curso e comecei a trabalhar para grandes empresas de construcao em Portugal. Fico contente por ter provado a mim mesmo que eu estava certo quando queria ser eu no local de trabalho e fui repreendido por directores de grandes empresas nacionais, primeiro porque nao me vestia ‘a engenheiro; segundo porque nao tinha maturidade profissional por ter pedido aos colegas desenhadores para nao me tratarem por “sr. engenheiro” e sim pelo meu nome. Fico contente por nao ter aceitado render-me a um sistema retrogado atrofiador e ter ido ‘a procura do mundo que eu sabia que existia.
Quando anunciei a minha partida, a ultima coisa que o director me disse foi: “Nao vas porque nao vais encontrar o que procuras, a situacao economica desse Pais e’ pessima. Has-de voltar, mas quando voltares vais para a minha posicao que tinhas”. Eu sorri e disse obrigado mas pensei “nunca volto atraz”.
Hoje ninguem me chama sr.engenheiro, hoje visto jeans e ate camisoles da equipa nacional de futebol do meu Pais e ninguem me bloqueia porque julgam-me pelo aquilo que produzo e nao aquilo que aparento… hehehehe
Moral da historia: acredita em ti e nos teus sonhos, trabalha para os realizares e versa que “tudo o que pode ser imaginado pode ser realizado”.
Ok, desculpem por esta ego-trip mas tava a precisar, agora volto de novo ao eu de antes e aos valores que prezo, humildade e abertura para aprender sempre!
PS. E o titulo?... e' que Taiwan hoje ainda se orgulha deste nome que lhe foi atribuido por Portugal

18 Paises incluindo Portugal, tornam o TGV da formosa, real!
O projecto nasceu no mesmo dia que estas criancas:
E por isso coube-lhes transportarem o simbolo do futuro de Taiwan:
O sonho torna-se realidade, e o 1o TGV chega 'a formosa...
...gracas aos esforcos de 18 nacionalidades que ultrapassam barreiras culturais, formando uma unica equipa. As bandeiras dessas 18 nacoes, desfilaram nas ruas da formosa, exibindo as suas cores, que por coincidencia, eram todas vermelhas-azuis e branco. Houve uma que destacou pelo seu verde e amarelo e pelo que me fez sentir ao ve-la no meio das outras:
Horas antes do FC Porto fazer os Portugueses se orgulharem do o serem, do outro lado do planeta, havia sinais desse destaque!

Maggie Cheung, uma mulher extraordinaria que tenho o prazer de conhecer pessoalmente, vive entre dois mundos distintos, Paris e Hong Kong, amando-os de igual modo.
Maggie Cheung, a 39-year-old former Miss Hong Kong beauty queen, won a Best Actress award in Berlin in 1992 and a heap of critical acclaim in 2000 for her role in Wong's In The Mood for Love.
"This is really an extraordinary moment in my life," she said at the ceremony.
When asked whether this was her best performance, she said, "It was difficult to play but not the most difficult technically speaking. It was difficult because it was painful. Other directors might let me play such a role, a junkie, but only Olivier gives me the trust necessary to play it as I feel."
Yuuga Yagira reagiu ao premio atribuido no Festival de Cinema de Cannes, com uma humildade exemplar:
“Estou muito feliz mas pergunto-me se estara certo receber um premio tao grande, so’ representei o meu papel de acordo com as instrucoes do director”

Japan's Yuuya Yagira, 14, who picked up the Best Actor award at this year's Cannes Film Festival, said yesterday the prize had convinced him to pursue a screen career and ditch ambitions to be a soccer player.
"I was previously unable to decide between a soccer player or an actor, but I am now convinced I should work hard as an actor," he said in a statement.
"I am very happy although I wondered if it is okay to be given this big award," said Yagira, who was in the southern French resort for the festival but had to fly home before the awards ceremony to sit exams.
Yagira said he acted in the movie Nobody Knows just the way he was told by director Hirokazu Koreeda.

57th Cannes Film Festival - Asia in its best
Last saturday, 22 May 2004, while I was in Hong Kong, some amazing Hong Kong people were away. They were at the 57th Cannes Film Festival, to show their value as artists who reached an international level of recognition.
Maggie Cheung (張曼玉) gave an emotionally-strong performance as a junkie pop-star mother in Clean directed by her French ex-husband and was rewarded with a Best Actress prize. "He is the director who understands me the most," she said. "Because you know we were very close."
The 39-year-old Chinese actress, who has starred in several films by Wong Kar-wai, notably in the 2000 movie In The Mood For Love, made a name in the West in 1992 in New China Woman.
She recently starred in Hero, Zhang Yimou's (張藝謀) mega-martial arts production starring Jet Li (李連杰).
And the Best Actress award goes to a lovely woman, who I had the chance to meet and chat with: Maggie Cheung.
Maggie, we are proud of you!

Hong Kong's Maggie Cheung, center, Nick Nolte from the US, left, and French director Olivier Assayas arrive for the closing ceremony of the 57th Cannes Film Festival, in the French Riviera town. The Cannes film festival jury, led by Quentin Tarantino, announced Cheung as Best Actress during a celebrity-studded awards ceremony, the climax to the festival's week-and-a-half of screenings, soirees and star appearances, attended by 15,000 movie types and journalists.
And speaking about Hong Kong's quality cinema, the Wong Kar-wai (王家衛) movie "2046" (the most-liked movie by a worldwide panel of critics listed in the film industry magazine Screen International), didn't get the top prize because the world today needs all means to cry even louder and make sure that things will REALLY change for better.

American film director Michael Moore holds the Palme d'Or trophy he received for his documentary Fahrenheit 9/11 during the award ceremony of the 57th International Film Festival in Cannes, southern France, on Saturday.
When it came down to the wire, politics nudged art off center-stage, giving Michael Moore's anti-Bush documentary "Fahrenheit 9/11", the Palme d'Or best film award.
The anti-Bush documentary will almost certainly get a distributor now that it has won the Palme d'Or, after being blocked by Walt Disney Co.
Advertising US director Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11, a savage indictment of US President George W. Bush's handling of Iraq and the war on terror, won the top award at the Cannes film festival on Saturday.
"I have this great hope that things are going to change," said Moore after tearing into Bush with his emotion-charged documentary in the run-up to November's presidential election.
The same panel was cool about Thailand's debut Cannes film, Tropical Malady by Apichatpong Weerasethakul, though the jury, along with a few French critics, were over the moon about the two-part avant-garde tale featuring gay romance and a walk through the night jungle on the tracks of a mythical tiger.
"My film is so personal I'm not sure how well it will travel," Apichatpong told journalists. "But I hope this will encourage other Thai filmmakers."
Also in the limelight at Cannes was China's Zhang Ziyi (章子怡), the former Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon star listed as one of People magazine's 50 most beautiful women in 2002. She was breath-taking both as a blind warrior in the out-of-competition House of Flying Daggers and as one of the four women in 2046.
The much talked-about Flying Daggers is Chinese auteur Zhang Yimou's second foray into the popular epic martial arts after Hero of 2002. Also at Cannes and also liked was Johnnie To's action movie Breaking News.
Asian film, which is grabbing an ever-growing share of Cannes, festival after festival, this year accounted for six of the 18 films competing to win the coveted Palme d'Or trophy.
Japan and South Korea each had two movies in competition for the prize, and each scored prizes, bolstering hopes for their buoyant local industries.
South Korea is one of the few countries outside the US where domestic productions outnumber foreign films in box-office takings, and Old Boy by director Park Chan-wook, the Cannes runner-up that won the Grand Prize, has been one of the country's biggest hits.
The ultra-savage flick -- which includes the main character slicing his tongue off and eating a live octopus -- is about a man who is incarcerated and tortured in a hotel room but doesn't know why. It kept critics on the edge of their seats with its twisted narrative and graphic violence.
Tarantino especially was reported to have loved it.
The Best Actor Award went to the 14-year old Yuuya Yagira for his role in Nobody Knows directed by Hirokazu Kore-eda.
Japanese films dazzled too. A quiet human drama about four small children deserted by their mother and left to fend for themselves -- Nobody Knows by Hirokazu Koreeda -- was listed as one of the favorites at the end of the fest and its teenage star Yagira Yuuya was named Best Actor.
"It was the fruit of a whole year of work with these children," said Koreeda on accepting the award on behalf of the boy, now 14 years of age.
