练习曲

为免日后回想过往时后悔，大学即将毕业的明相（东明相）请假只身骑上脚踏车，开始了以高雄为起点的逆风向的环岛旅行。 　　明相一路所遇，除了各地美不胜收的风景，还有形形色色的人：想借助影像制造梦想的工作者，正一心一意地将太平洋的风捕捉入镜；来自立陶宛的年轻女模特，在花莲的海边告诉他她的国家没有山；即将退休的小学女教师，向他讲述自己恋恋不舍的心情；导游兼司机的陌生人（吴念真）一边和他分享盒饭，一边告诉他眼前这群下岗女工的生活……而更重要的，是通过与这些的人的短暂接触和所吃的无数苦头，明相对生命有了更深一层的认识，他知晓了属于自己的生命练习曲，才刚刚开始。Travelling is always the best way to encounter true stories. Ming-Hsang, a deaf, decided to cycle around Taiwan before graduating from the college. This film, lasting for 100 minutes, documents his trip which lasted 7 days and 6 nights. He camped at the beach of Tai-Ma-Li on the first evening, playing guitar. Although he has hearing problems, he is still very much interested in sounds. The next morning, he followed Tai-11 highway. He met a group of people filming MV at the east coastline. They also film him. The third day, he was on the Su-Hua highway, a highway notoriously difficult to conquer for cyclists. He met a Lithuanian girl at Han-Ben railway station. She missed the train to Hua-Lien. He helped her to get on her train by communication with her by pens and papers.
