An epic story centred on Asia’s first oil well.
亞洲第一口油井的史詩故事。

During the Jiaqing reign of the Qing Dynasty, Hakka pioneers crossed the seas to Taiwan and dug Asia’s first oil well in Miaoli. From clearing wilderness to building a thriving industry, the WU Lin-fang family’s story reveals a hidden chapter in Taiwan’s industrial history. This film illustrates the coexistence of Hakka migrants and indigenous peoples, while reflecting Cold War-era stereotypes of Westerners. Viewed today, it becomes a historical testament to cultural misunderstanding and the search for identity. The film features HSU Feng and an appearance by James HONG, beloved star of the Oscar-winning Everything Everywhere All at Once.
清嘉慶年間,客家先民渡海來台,在苗栗開鑿出亞洲第一口油井。從拓墾到產業興起,吳琳芳家族的故事揭開台灣產業史中鮮為人知的一頁。本片描繪客家移民與原住民族的共存,也折射冷戰時期西方形象的刻板投射。今日回望,更成為理解文化誤讀與身分追尋的重要史證。由徐楓領銜,並特別邀請吳漢章(《媽的多重宇宙》)驚喜現身。
