Walking into the villages, documenting memories, and witnessing the preservation of Hakka community memories and the transmission of local history and culture.

Today (the 7th), a grand event carrying countless emotions and memories—the “Hakka Village Histories of the Central, Southern, and Eastern Regions, Phase III Project Results Presentation”—was held at the Liudui Hakka Cultural Park.

Since launching the Village History Writing Project in 2017, the Center has published 30 volumes of Hakka village histories.

Over the past two years, the writers have gone deep into the village alleys of the Central, Southern, and Eastern Regions to listen to the oral memories of the elders, collect and organize local documents, and consult with experts and scholars to reconstruct stories belonging to these local areas, showcasing the powerful synergy of the public and academia joining hands to pass down their heritage.

These writers are not only recorders of heartfelt emotions but also guardians of Hakka community memory, step by step transforming the local experiences and village changes once scattered throughout daily life into precious local historical memory.

A total of 21 village histories were completed in this phase, spanning multiple iconic Hakka settlements in Taichung, Nantou, Yunlin, Kaohsiung, and Pingtung. These works vividly capture the diverse aspects of Hakka communities in terms of history, industry, belief, and daily life, profoundly preserving precious local memories and ethnic identity.

Thanks to every persevering writer!

The Center will also continue to uphold the spirit of “co-creation and companionship,” working alongside local communities to collect, preserve, and record Hakka village memories, so that local memories can live on through the written word and become an important cultural heritage shared across generations.
