During his years of education, Hsu spent the most time at Taipei High School with 7years in middle school and high school. The school building acts as a backdrop,whilst the watch face in the middle represents time passing by combined with Hsu’s favorite subject—geometry. Using curved Cubism to paint out childhood dreams, a well-respected and deceased teacher is also painted in the clouds.From left to right: Mandarin teacher (Yoshinari), poetry teacher (Nezu), art teacher (Shiotsuki), grade supervisor (Arakawa) and mathematics teacher (Minewaki).

台北高校是作者在學校學習時間最長的地方,尋常科與高等科合計有七年之久。以台北高校校舍為背景,中心有象徵時間飛逝的時鐘表面和作者喜愛的幾何學。以彎曲立體派畫出年輕學生時代的夢想,雲上則畫出最敬重的已故老師。從左起漢文的吉成老師、詩人的根津老師、美術的鹽月老師、學寮舍監及級主任的荒川老師,數學的嶺脇老師。
