Why ‘The Hunchback of Notre Dame’ is the Best Animated Disney Movie Ever Made

Taiwan Banzai
Chenggong Town (Taitung County) has a population of approximately 15,000 people. This area, located in the southeastern part of Taiwan and surrounded by the Pacific Ocean and mountain ranges, has been home to many Japanese and Han Chinese people since the completion of the fishing port in 1932, creating a fishing and agricultural town. Japanese immigrants brought swordfish fishing with a stick, and this fishing method is still used today. Atsuko Sakai depicts the people who have lived facing the sea and the land even as times have changed, living their lives honestly, placing "prayer", "gratitude for life" and "family" at the center of them. The final chapter of Sakai's Taiwanese trilogy.
