What does “Ē-iânn”mean, in the eyes of the young living in contemporary Ē-iânn? “The Temple of Black Emperor, pig and chicken feces, a dull little village.” Until one day, they found out that their hometown was once an important base of the “United Farm Workers in Taiwan” in the 1920s, where the Red Fight of the farmers and the lands took place in the post-war period, and eventually ended by the stormy White Terror in the 1950s. These glorious moments turned into stories: people were “told” about the days of peace and affluence, but not without the feeling of a vague sense of fear. Those were things seen and heard, and gone with the memories. This is a story lost in the past that will never return again, we try to find it back. These sceneries reappear through the eyes of these youngsters in Ē-iânn, who guide us to meet again the hidden past, talk to it, and to rediscover the real face of their hometown.
