BLACK TIDE ISLAND

Bonfire Island made their lives better, and their youth enriched the island.

In 1950, the Korean War broke out, pitting democracy against communism, and the international situation worsened. Under such circumstances, the top 1% of Taiwanese elites gathered on Bonfire Island. In a psychologically and physically meager world, everyone was looking for a reason to live. They brought medical care, education, agriculture, engineering, and art to Burning Island, developing friendships deeper than kinship with one another.
