Sakinu, a Paiwan aborigine, wears a traditional headdress as he narrates a story in his house in Chin-feng, near the southeastern coastal city of Taitung, May 8, 2007. Most aboriginal men now live in cities or fish at sea, fracturing homes and confusing youth, said Sakinu, who went back to his remote village from Taipei 16 years ago because he thought the homefront needed him. He spends much of his time teaching Paiwan teens how to use hunting rifles. Although the Paiwan can legally own two guns each, unusual in Taiwan, hardly anyone hunts anymore because they don't live in the mountains. Picture taken May 8, 2007.

A protester holds the Chinese national flag as he walks outside Japan's embassy in Beijing June 18, 2007. A small group of Chinese, chanting "Lee Teng-hui is a traitor to the Chinese nation" and denouncing the former Taiwan president as a dog, held a brief protest at Japan's embassy in Beijing on Monday. The protesters -- outnumbered by police and reporters -- denounced Tokyo for letting the pro-Taiwan independence Lee visit recently, and demanded the release of a Chinese man arrested for throwing a bottle at the politician as he was heading home. The characters on his shirt reads: "Japan, get out of Diaoyu Islands".
