HE’S STILL YOUNG

The documentary has already reached TWD 2.5 million in local box office.

Poet WU Sheng writes in a style that is down-to-earth and filled with a natural energy. As an intellectual who had returned to teach in his hometown, he saw how industrialization and urbanization continued to encroach on agriculture, farmers and rural villages, and bore witness to the life of rice farmers and his mother.

His writing is infused with insights on life and a self-identity tinged with nostalgia for times past, reminding his readers to care about the land with which they coexist. The film, which shows the emotion that flows between the writer and his family and friends, together with the visual language employed, presents WU Sheng as a warm and three-dimensional figure, achieving a rare work that closely links a writer’s literary beliefs with his life events.
