The Ancient Chinese philosopher Zhuang Zhou’s dream of becoming a butterfly blurs reality and fantasy, reflecting a poet’s desire for freedom and eternity. The coming of Tulku draws from Buddhist classics, using Chou Meng-tieh’s life as a metaphor. His experiences at WuChang Street and his bookstand, started in 1959, led to enlightenment and loyalty to Buddha and loved ones. Influenced by Buddhism, his poems blend Zen with grace, affection, and prudence, capturing life’s essence with strength and delicacy. He closed his bookstand in 1980 due to illness.

The Inspired Island (Series)

The film project "They Write on the Island" attempts to use documentary images as the medium, and the director's film style and language as the guide, to introduce important Chinese writers to the next generation while recording important records of literary masters in the form of film texts readers. Our focus is not limited to preservation, but also to show how writers and their works convey moving power during the historical process of handing over generations, and become literary and cultural assets of generations.
