The group of men and women, who’d, dedicated their life to, saving the lives of others, watching over, the most popular beaches in the summertime, translated…
In the summertime weekends in Wanli, the tourist, cramped up the beach.
There were the hotties who were, sunbathing on the sand, children who were, digging up the sand to build those, castles; adolescent girls who were, chasing the waves, the teenage boys, who were, chased by, those, waves. Close by, the parents, telling their young children in the floaters, to not be afraid of the water, those young lovers who’d, stared, lovingly into, one another’s, eyes, some stood on the canoes, trying to, pedal, some working really hard, not to, fall off that, surf, board, some were, enjoying, just, floating on the oceans, away, from the, huge, crowd.

Everybody was having a blast, with ease, immersed in this, weekend frenzy, because, other than the sun, the sand, the waves, there’s that, lifeguard, stations. For twenty years, the volunteers of the “Taipei Eastern Water Safety Commissions” had never been, absent for one day. From June to September of every year, in the crowded weekends on these beaches, the skilled, experienced volunteers, with that freshness of spirit of being trained as lifeguards, passing the torch, setting up that first line of, defense, in the summertime, beaches.
By the watchtower, there were the stretchers, with the floating boats that is ready for action at any time. The volunteers who’d watched over the area close to the oceans, the people who were, swimming there, on the higher up of the watchtower, there was a member who’d, used the binoculars to keep an eye on the situations, and the two-man team with the buoys, skimming the coasts.

The day of keeping watch over the beaches at Wanli had arrived again, the towers got, set up again, the equipment, set up. The volunteer lifeguards, all ready for actions, the three-month long term, began, with the tourists who’d, loved the oceans, want to enjoy the sun fully, the beaches, the waves too, and, we keep them, safe.
So, these are the men and women, who are, hard at work, watching over the frontlines for the people who go to the beaches in the summertime, and, because the weather it getting hotter, the beaches will become more and more, crowded, and, these men and women’s work are, sacred, because, without them, watching over the beaches, we can’t feel, safe at all.
