Description

Literature and tales of the military dependents' villages leave a unique and precious character in Taiwanese history since the Great Retreat in 1949. The people have gradually formed a culture within the villages. To dive into the richness of military dependents' villages, the film interviews many prominent Taiwanese writers who grew up in the first and second generation of military dependents' villages and quotes extensively from literary passages, creating the reappearance of the unforgettable lives in the villages and of the cultures of Waishengren.
