Introduction: Recently, the Hualien area of Taiwan Province was suddenly unlucky, and a huge 7.3 magnitude earthquake brought great pain and economic losses to the local people. The natural disaster caused a tsunami in the sea near Hualien, and the well-known company TSMC and industry giant Hon Hai Precision were not spared, and the damage is incalculable.

Earlier this year, did you notice that we frequently mentioned "aerial photography of the scenery of the island of Taiwan"? Now, in the face of the sudden major earthquake in Taiwan, I am afraid that any beautiful scenery now seems a little heavy.
Taiwan, which is located east of Fujian Province and is tested by the movement of the Pacific crust, has not been optimistic since a 7.3-magnitude earthquake hit the sea in Hualien early this morning. The earthquake allowed the local population to experience more than 24 earthquakes of magnitude 4 and above in just five hours. The magnitude of the earthquake was staggering.
However, the disaster did not stop there. According to reports, the local tsunami triggered by the earthquake spread to the coastal areas around the island of Taiwan, which had a serious impact on people's lives. In the face of natural disasters, the safety of life and property is a concern of all times. As of press time, more than 100 people have been killed or wounded.
In addition, TSMC, as an important enterprise in Taiwan Province, has also suffered heavy losses. While the rescue efforts are still unfolding rapidly, the financial implications are already being felt. It is understood that TSMC may lose up to $60 million due to the earthquake. It is worth noting that their production line has been temporarily suspended in an effort to prevent possible accidents.
Also of interest is the residence of another Taiwanese business tycoon, Mr. Terry Gou. The earthquake turned the rooftop swimming pool of his mansion in Hualien into a waterfall, and the magnificent scenery from it was emotional. Unfortunately, although Gou's house was affected by the earthquake, we have no definite information that he was at home at the time. The police are still in the process of further verification.
For those who were injured in the accident, we wish them a speedy recovery. We also hope that this incident will serve as a wake-up call for everyone to learn better about natural disasters.
This strong earthquake not only had a profound impact on Hualien, but also implicated the colorful Taiwan and displaced many people. I hope that the people who have encountered the disaster can get through the difficulties together, and I hope that this incident will make more people understand the destructive power of natural disasters and cherish the earth home where we coexist.
