This work attempts to bring literature into the moving image. Based on the emotions of his hometown, I read and searched online during the epidemic the works of authors Weng Nao(1910-1940), Jin Lian(1928-2013),and Qiu Miaojin(1969-1995), who were also born in Changhua City. The same hometown, growing up in different generations means that they are in different contexts of modernity in Taiwan. The common point is that they write about their own dislocated marginal position of being "the Other", facing multiple crossings and searching for their own identity.
