Peninsula Wind Journal

Book Story

Peninsula Wind — “Walking Together” is a stage play centered on women who sing folk songs.

It tells the stories of three women in an era when women had limited choices over their own lives: Yuki, a bookstore owner who understands everything happening in the neighborhood; A-Man, who works hard to support her younger siblings’ education; and A-Chun, who must travel away from Hengchun every week to study.

Through mutual support and companionship, they express the sorrow of accepting fate through Hengchun folk songs and the yueqin (moon lute), while also singing out the courage to keep moving forward.

Life is like a play, and a play reflects life. This production captures the essence of everyday life in the Hengchun Peninsula and is collected in Peninsula Wind — “Walking Together”, a work for reading, listening, and preserving together.
