📖 題組：
The first slow city in Taiwan is Fenglin Township. In 2014, it became a member of an international “slow city” organization. Located in Hualien County, Fenglin boasts a culture that matches the way of life promoted by the organization. The residents value traditions and maintain their own methods of farming, food preparation, and keeping friendly relations. To appreciate the beauty of Fenglin, one has to take the time to soak up its relaxing atmosphere. While economic progress has brought about vast changes elsewhere, Fenglin remains untouched by industrial development or noisy traffic. By preserving the casual charm of its mountain township, the local community hopes to leave this special gift for future generations. Two residents who left behind them the fast-moving lifestyles of big cities to return to Fenglin and experience slow living are Chen Kengyan and Zhong Sunlung. Chen quit teaching to take over the family farm before going on to earn a certificate in organic farming. Now, he starts work at 5 a.m., goes home at 9 a.m., takes a rest until lunch, and then continues his work on the farm. Next door, Zhong pulls weeds on his peanut farm early in the morning, and spends leisurely afternoons taking pictures. He first started off aiming to learn from his mother traditional styles of cooking and frying peanuts; he now sells his own brand of snacks. Also doing his best is Xu Mingtang. He came home to look after his aging parents, and later worked with a group which provides funding for organic farming. He also tries to educate farmers on the environmental impacts of various farming methods. However, the township faces one concern – the outflow of young people. In view of the population loss, the community now takes on the task of attracting the young to return home. After all, their hope lies in the young to carry on the fine traditions of Fenglin culture.
