The story of "Come back to hometown" comes from the adaptation of the past life experience of my Yunlin family.During the Japanese occupationperiod, my grandmother ran a grocery store near Chaotian Palace in Beigang, passed on three generations until my uncle took over, and transformed into selling cold drinks and betel nuts. My uncle had a simple personality, liked heavy motorcycles and rock-style accessories, and sometimes rode heavy motorcycles to deliver betel nuts to customers, and lived an ordinary life.
However, not long ago, my grandfather was in poor health, and the betel nut shop was an old house with a narrow interior and steep stairs, so my grandfather could not live with his uncle here.Taiwan is about to enter an aging society, the life of my uncle's family is just a general practice of society, Taiwan has a corresponding long-term care policy for the future aging social trend, my uncle did not want my grandfather to go to the nursing center, but my mother-in-law believed that the concept must keep pace with the times, and in the final compromise, my uncle could only sell the beloved Harley locomotive and place my grandfather in a bungalow not far away, where the foreigners could watch the daily living materials, and my uncle could also visit nearby.
In 2017, I created a 15-minute short film "Haikou" as an uncle, which achieved good results at domestic and overseas film festivals during the next two years, and most of the feedback from the judges was that they hoped that this short film could present a more complete story, so I used the above family life situation as an adaptation story and became the main plot structure of "Come back to hometown”.
