There are two significant words chosen by Tainan City’s Mayor Su to be inscribed on the stone. ‘Loyal to Country. Filial to Parents.’ It is hoped that this piece of marble can be placed at a permanent location in your great city for public enjoyment and as a token of our sister city affiliation and eternal friendship between our two great cities.
