Sustainable Gongliao: Creating a Livable beautiful Place
National Taiwan Ocean University
Over the past eight years, I’ve shared a lot of observations and commentaries about life and culture in India on YaoIndia. This time around, I find myself looking at Taiwan very differently. Maybe I’ve become relatively unfamiliar with this place, or perhaps the experiences I lived in India have allowed me to see Taiwan from a new perspective.
At the invitation of NTOU, I visited Jimuling in Gongliao a couple of months ago, that’s where I met Hsueh-Yuan Hsiao, who has been working hard to restore paddy fields for over ten years now. Despite being a big part of Jimuling’s unique landscape and an important cultural asset, paddy fields were gradually abandoned from 1987 to 1991. In the past, there were more than 200 hectares of paddy fields in this region, but all that remains of it now is the small fraction restored by Mr. Hsiao. Before my visit to Jimuling with NTOU, I never imagined academic strength could integrate so well with local projects, or that University Social Responsibility (USR) could be carried out this way.
I feel so lucky to be involved in this project. Please share this video to spread Jimuling’s story and drive the project forward. The NTOU USR project is three years long, and thus many more changes and possibilities await in Jimuling’s future.
