"Chung Hua" pencil used during my childhood in mainland China and Hong Kong
But I cannot found this "Made in China" pencil in Taiwan, only you could found is "Liberty" brand pencil. But the tricky way is, they transpose pronunciation directly into Mandarin "Li Bai dai", means " good for hundred generation"
Day after 10th Oct 2006, I found the huge newspaper heading, and also "Liberty" pencil from the bookstore.
I carved pencil into twig and stuck on the tree, you could only saw the work by climbing the ladder, in the same time, you could saw the sea view behind the windbreak.
