In Taiwan, there's more to explore than just pretty landscapes. The place has a rich history that goes way back. The local people are known for being kind and holding onto their traditional ways of life, even though they live in remote areas. As globalization brings its own set of problems, many folks are now looking back to their roots and the mountains for inspiration. 
So, let's begin our journey in "Shiding" and discover the history, culture, and beauty of Danlan Ancient Road together! 
After the first episode - Shi Ding and the second episode Pingxi – Dongshige, we now move on to Episode 3: "The Jingtong Chapter (Part 1) – Shared Memories Inspire Common Dreams." 
Following the first episode of "Shi Ding", the second episode of Pingxi "Dongshige"
Between 2019 and 2021, the artist Wei Jane Chir delved deep into the Pingxi Mountains in northern Taiwan. This small town was once a bustling coal mining hub, much like many other post-industrial areas worldwide. When coal mining gave way to new energy sources, these mining towns faced the harsh fate of being abandoned and left to decay. Jingtong was known as "Taiwan's coal town" during its heyday, with thousands of people bustling in and out. However, when the mining industry declined, Jingtong's population dwindled to just a hundred people. 
So, how did these few remaining residents bring back the town's former vitality through their cherished memories? How did they go about revitalizing their hometown? In this episode, "The Jingtong Chapter," we'll follow in the footsteps of those who believe that "shared memories shape the essence of life." We'll listen to the stories of the last remaining miners, watch videos documenting the town's past, hear from foreign planners, and speak to residents who witnessed its former prosperity.
