Putai- one located in Chiayi County, southwest coast, retains the old flavor mixed with the modern construction of a small village, with agriculture, oysters, fishing and salt production based. The salt production part completely stopped in 2001. Putai is a very important stage curved oyster origin; the quality of oysters is very plump and sweet. Since playing from a memory, the family has been farming oysters. If say I was raised by oysters that is not an exaggeration. Parents from young to old, heavy and hard work in this work affected by the environment. For all the things oyster farming has profound feelings. There has long been the home of various problems such as land subsidence, seawater intrusion, economic development, population exodus ... etc. Let own hometown's past, present and future to have more understanding.
Many people living in the southern countryside, left home early. Lifetime may be in other places are also longer than at home. But for the hometown emotion has not been forgotten, but now is a very worrying about the deep homesickness. We may know what is now popular in Taipei, how to walk that road. But did not find the home of change and the difficulties faced by relatives and friends. And suddenly shocked to find how parents become so old, even to face illness and death threats. This makes deep ideological pursuit of what truly care about what is that.
For such worrying about, the familiar yet unfamiliar with the hometown, to shoot a documentary about return hometown, express my infinite homesick, but also to let everyone know how’s life conditional about return hometown peoples in Putai .
