At the beginning it was very simple, just a thought of facing the world.
Since October 15th, Taipei Hakka Cultural Theme Park has started operation. In less than five years, on the basis of Hakka Cultural , various promotion attempts have been made through activities, displays, courses, performances, etc. After gaining the foundation in the local area, how can the Hakka in Taipei enter the world?
So at the beginning of this year, the foundation prepared a new plan, which was later named "Global Hakka Streaming Project". The original purpose of the plan is to encourage young friends to propose various plans in ten domestic and foreign regions. The plan can include social enterprises, community to create , regional cultural and historical links, etc.
In April before the start of hotness, we traveled all over the western half of Taiwan, from Taoyuan with spring rain to Pingtung with bright temperatures. During this period, we visited social enterprises, social enterprises and other units in ten restaurants, and were lucky enough to obtain consent, becoming the stronghold and partner of the streaming project, and met all kinds of people and scenery. The beginning of the plan was just a thought of making the Hakka face the world. The plan is intended to encourage young people to run away and wander, because the run away and wandering at a young age are good, regardless of the result, it will eventually become nutrients in the future. We expect the main axis of the project to try to change ourselves, and ultimately change the Hakka and inject new blood.
However, during the search process, after experiencing the long years in the Nanpu Mountain Village, there is a close connection between the community mutual aid system: or by surrounding the mother river of Nanzhuang , feel the tranquility separated from the tourist area by only one street. The endless fields along Tainan and Minon are all the way, the unmarked fields and the rustling sound of the wind blowing rice fields, and the art galleries and community organizations hidden deep in it. Or in the Kezhuang villages at the southern end of Taiwan, the martial law period was so close to the war.
"Kezhuang" is no longer the name on the map or the pronouns in the article, each with its own characteristics and stories. As the plan progresses, the face will become clearer. At present, several candidates have been selected for the streaming plan, and they are entering the local area according to the plan and concept, and are implementing the plan. Even if the distance between the north and south of Taiwan is only more than 300 kilometers, once you enter a place, you can quickly compare so many differences in the cultural landscape. Even though it seems so far away from home, I always compare my home and hometown in my heart: so we are far away from home, but we are also close, and one day we will return to our hometown.
