Visit the Taiwan Hakka Museum to enjoy the artistic feast and look back at national history.

Hear the love song composed by western symphonies and Hakka customs through the music.

See the six willful brothers going all out in work in Fofong and then confronted with an awful plight of life.

In those times, the family made the most of their spirit to protect their homeland, living a life full of blood and tears.

Life is full of misery, only love stays the sweetest

Salute all those who sacrificed for love

Express empathy and consolation to all who have lost a loved one

Japan's unconditional surrender, all Japanese returned to Japan after evading conscription

After Japan's unconditional surrender, the old A-Kuan, serving the post of the chief of the village at that time, respectfully declared the order. The ruler of the country adjusted his position that day. In the instant translocation of the master and servant relationship, though it came too quickly, Ma Chang’s family were ready to return home. The historical page had been turned over even before the book could be printed and published.

A-Chungku joined the army and travelled to Kinmen, encountering the Second Taiwan Strait Crisis.

The fifth of the six willful brothers, A-Chungku, joined the army in the frontline of Kinmen. Separated by waters, the family missed one another from afar. The Second Taiwan Strait Crisis took place during that period, and A-Chungku was lucky enough to survive and return home safely.

The matchmaker: one prayer to the heaven and earth to be grateful for the grace given, one prayer to the parents and may they be blessed with longevity, and one prayer to the universe asking to be blessed with a baby while living a wealthy, abundant and prosperous life.

Inside the ancestral shrine of Hakka Fofong, friends and relatives rubbed elbows with each other as the firecrackers exploded. The house was filled with happiness for it was the day A-Chungku got married. The matchmaker said the blessing poem as the bride drank the bridal tea at the wedding, “one prayer to the heaven and earth to be grateful for the grace given, one prayer to the parents and may they be blessed with longevity, and one prayer to the universe to be blessed with a baby while living a wealthy, abundant and prosperous life”.

Old A-Kuan, “the happy candles are red and long, and the husband and wife bow to each other in the hall. We wish they will give birth to a healthy child next year, with one steelyard beam with two steelyard weights”.

The old A-Kuan served the post of the head of the neighborhood during the period of the Japanese occupation. He joined the electoral party and became the village chief after the Recession of Taiwan. He also gave his blessing to the newly married couple by saying, “the happy candles are red and long, and the husband and wife bow to each other in the hall. We wish they will give birth to a healthy child next year, with one steelyard beam with two steelyard weights”.

It’s now New Year, and the spring breeze is blowing again. Kites are flying, carrying expectations to lead the men travelling in a place far away to find their way back home.
