　　The curator of National Museum of Taiwan Literature, Chen-fu, Liao stated that, the ‘National Mobile Museum of Taiwan Literature’ has been turning around Taiwan since 2010 to promote literature. The 3^rd phase of special exhibition is themed ‘The Inner World of Taiwan Literature’ with a total of 3 major display sections: ‘The Call of Mountain and Sea’, ‘The Tribal Conversation’ and ‘The Glory of Literature’. Last year, the mobile museum visited Eastern Taiwan such as Yilan, Hualien and Taitung. This year, coupled with topics such as religions and tribes in Taiwan, the mobile museum came to Western Taiwan, presenting the inner world and minds of Taiwan authors with signature literature works, thereby constructing a rich and intriguing Taiwan literature tradition. This is the second time the ‘mobile museum’ has come to Tongluo. In order to present local Hakka literature, the special exhibition in the truck is now displaying introductions and poems by Fang-ge, Du-pan, Gui-hai, Tseng, Heng-chiu, Huang, Fang-ci, Chang, Hui-jen, Liu and Yi-fan, Chiu.

　　Jin-Liang, He, director of the Taiwan Hakka Culture Development Center stated that the Center is happy to cooperate with the National Museum of Taiwan Literature. The cooperation promotes Hakka literature and local literature through exhibitions and marketing activities, attracting attention for the outstanding works of Hakka writers such as: ‘The Orphan of Asia’ by Zhuoliu, Wu, ‘The Taiwan Trilogy’ by Chao-cheng, Chong, ‘The Wintry Night Trilogy’ by Chiao, Li, etc. They are not only introductions to Taiwan’s Hakka literature, but also well-known ‘classical literature’. This time, through ‘The Inner World of Hakka Literature: Collection Project for 1-Minute Micro-Movies’, richness of the exhibition can be strengthened; it is also hoped that through new Internet marketing activities, interaction with the new generation can be enhanced for the event to be featured in new media forms, thereby attracting the participation of more people. The author, Chiao, Li, believes that it is meaningful to promote Hakka literature from local to the outer world, paired with the connection made with younger generations through online media forms.

   The selected works from the Collection Project for 1-Minute Micro-Movies will receive a reward of NTD $30,000; 5 outstanding works will also be chosen, each of which will receive a reward of NTD $6,000. Participants are welcome to share their works on Facebook. Top 5 micro-movies with the most likes will each receive a reward of NTD $2,000.
