HenChun

HenChun literally means Infinite Spring, referring to its tropical weather. On the very south tip of the HenChun peninsula is the Kenting National Park.

I spent the summer of my 20 year-old in the national park as a nature interpreter, which was definitely one of the most memorable summers I ever had.

More than a decade has passed. Three of our old folks and a new friend reunited and decided to pay the park a visit before the lunar new year.

Kenting has changed some, with more hotels and shops in sight. We met up with our former supervisors and local friends. Everyone had a story to tell. Episodes and conflicts between local aboriginal people and the national park officials, like the famous winter sunshine and wind, have never ceased.

This is where I met with the purest hearts of human beings, and all beings.
