Typical modern rural landscape in Taiwan: single-story houses - Jiangjun Township, Tainan
My favorite park for strolling in Tainan—the most beautiful park in the southern lands

The magnificent Hualien East-West Cross-Island Highway and Taroko National Park represent the grandeur of Taiwan. I love fluidity; life’s journey is like an endless adventure, where every venture is worthwhile and every surprise brings delight. In this flow, I hope to be as free and unrestrained as a river, heading toward places that are both strange and familiar—my homeland. There, there are the most verdant mountains, the most poetic seas, the most majestic landscapes, the most dazzling suns, the moon overflowing with emotion, the starry sky holding my thoughts, relatives welcoming me, friends calling out, countless emotions, souls penetrating my heart, extraordinary experiences of my life, the deepest secrets of existence, the source of artistic creation, the land I cherish, profound friendship and love, endless poetry and boundless beauty. It is the space I yearn for, the realm of my conscious adventures, and the place where I find peace. The homeland, my home, my ancestral root permeate my entire being—body, mind, and spirit. The homeland embraces me, and I embrace the homeland.

Each time I return to Taiwan, I live the life of a self-exiled wanderer, reflecting a deep consciousness, artistry, and lifestyle within my existence. Through fluidity, I delve into the homeland to observe, learn, communicate, experience, witness, cultivate, and create. Every day involves shuttling between visits and explorations of different people, events, and things, casting my life into various scenes and unknown realms. Through serious study, awareness, and experience, this is how I draw close to this land. I dive into the embrace of the homeland, warmly embracing this beloved piece of earth. Experiencing the warmth and deep affection of the homeland, touching upon the grassroots nature of the ancestral root from multiple angles, exploring its origins and aesthetics, and experiencing the essence of local existence allow the wanderer to get drunk in the homeland’s embrace, caressing the traveler’s soul.
