(Taiwanese) Hello everyone, I am an announcer
I’ve been broadcasting for 10 years now
I moved to Ilan in recent three years
Make money for rural radio programs
Free on the Internet for listening
If outsiders move to rural areas to learn farming
People will guess
You should be rich like this
(laughter)
Like me, who do not farm, they only make rural radio
It will also be people as rich people
Why farmers or rural radio
Will be treated as rich?
Because these two occupations are not promising for the rest of the world
If you have not already had money
Are you stupid?
(laughter)
(Chinese) This is a misunderstanding I actually had lived in Ilan for three years
Showing the traditional concept of the place
They do not understand enough how new farmers join the countryside
The rural value they are looking for
Even elders are very hard to stop
His second generation returned home to farm
He will tell him
Farmers have no future, you do not come back
Not to mention the radio
Do not sell products do not sell drugs
I mean to them
(Taiwanese) Do you hear the story belly full?
(laughter)
In fact, I have even been questioned
Are you a farm kid?
Why do you always emphasize rural value?
I am sure to answer him
I am a farmer from Taichung
But my hometown has long been occupied by the factory
This is the current situation in many rural Taiwan
In the process of spelling economy inside
The countryside was sacrificed
The countryside is gone
I often get lost when I return to my hometown
This is not a joke, I really often get lost
I can not find the way home
Because I am almost familiar with pastoral fields have almost disappeared
In fact, you can even question
Is the problem really important in rural areas?
Whenever we encounter food and safety problems
Let us think about it
We will be very eager to find at that time
What is the true appearance of food
Or we really doubt the safe and reliable production environment
Still not exist
In fact, as long as you are willing to take a trip to the countryside
You can get the most satisfactory answer between the heart and the diet
So I know the best way to eliminate misunderstandings
It is to start a conversation
Urban and rural areas, farmers and young farmers
Farmer and consumer
There is also a dialogue between reality and dream
So two years ago, I was driving a car
Carry my mother around the island for a month
All the way to visit 16 rural areas
We collect stories from farmers’ tables
Extend the network to share with you
This way down
We listened to many farmers who are producing and living
There are long-term adherence to all aspects of ecology
But also let me feel more in rural Taiwan
They face environmental damage and dwindling populations
After the show is over, actually I think
Rural issues need not be so heavy right
So later I think of the countryside
There are so many interesting things in the experience of my life
So I started to do rural broadcasting in a relatively easy way
I focus on a small rural area, it is called deep groove
This show is made one episode every week
It has led to some dialogue
Sometimes the effect of that conversation is way beyond my imagination
For example, this is a female farmer’s fish farming in Ilan
She and her partner farm
No pesticides, no chemical fertilizers
Hand weeding, hand picking snails
One day my mother who lives in Tainan called to tell her
Is your farm encountering a serious problem of planthoppers?
Fish frightened
Mom how do you know the most serious rice planthopper in Ilan recent paddy problems?
The original mother had heard the sound of rural radio rice
(laughter)
We are very happy
Mom and Dad accepted her choice of farming
Even care about rural life together
So of course I let the fish take advantage of the program to talk to their parents
She said so
(Tapes) Fish: Mom! I’m fine here
Mom, help me to send food dumplings come over I want to eat vegetable dumplings
Yes, in a few days
Mom and Dad sent a authentic Tainan vegetable dish from Tainan
Good friends are happy to eat
I have also visited a beauty Hong Sister who has been farming in Ilan for 14 years
Her husband is Gui Dong Club founder Lai Ching Chung
Beauty Hongjie mentioned these years
Every time she looks at her husband, Mr. Shimoda
Fighting look
She was very worried, but she also looked away
She said, I see him go out of the field the moment of the day
I’ll be when he will not be back
(laughter)
I was surprised to ask
Is it that serious?
He is Shimoda, not on the battlefield
Beauty Hong sister said
Tian is his battlefield!
Tian is his battlefield, this sentence gave me a great shock
I think of my own father, grandpa
They live their lives
Feed a family
But they have no chance in this life
Talk about their great accomplishments in the battlefield
They are happy and sad
In fact, they are most related to the food they grow
The food we eat in
So how can we care about the food?
In particular, farmer can share too many things
There are so many interesting things
do you know? Lurking in the farmer community many philosophers
There are high EQ life master
He is a banana like a small farmer
After a typhoon was annihilated
He said with emotion: God have to withdraw to you any way?
You can imagine this farmer who was facing the whole banana plantation
He said the mood of this sentence?
He said so
(Tapes) Yongnong Nongong: typhoons like this He will take away ah, otherwise, what would you do?
(Tapes) Joan Lin: You say God wants to take away?
(Tapes) Yongnong fruit farmers: Yes, ah will be recovered to give us back
Anyway, kind of thing, one day will supply us
Old people who grow vegetables say this way you will be better
(Tape laughter)
Yes, no sadness in our imagination right?
Next time we eat food
May wish to think of these farmers talk to God
In particular, the wisdom of these rural heritage
Not just people who work for agriculture
Also for you and me
Because listening lets us get closer to reality
Can let us feel better together
I’ve heard some people think of listening to rural radio stations like Mimi
I heard the voice of my hometown
My wandering heart is healed
There are also some farmer who are fighting alone in various parts of Taiwan
He found the power of companionship by listening to the stories of these people
A lot more people just like to listen to the rural daily
Want to open a window for life
And my own favorite heard someone tell me
I really want to collect my rural story
I want to be our own radio
In fact, our generation is very lucky
Because we still have so much profound
Common rural memories
So there will be someone in order to see the firefly again
He decided to go home and farm with friendly land
Some people retired to return to farming
He vowed to lose childhood paddy fields
Get it back the same
He simply turned the entire village into an eco-village, an organic village
Do not worry if you lack some common memory in the countryside
You can start from your own table
You can vote in rural areas
A lot of concern about the source of food
Make friends with the farmer
This is definitely the fastest
Build your common memory of the countryside
Finally, I want to clarify one thing
(Taiwanese) I am not rich
(laughter)
(Chinese) I’m not talking about rural broadcasting with any great dreams
I just took my best tool – the microphone
To each one of the protagonist in front of the story
Listen carefully to them
And share
This way
These stories give me great strength
Let me find the dignity of farmers
Still found wonderful countryside
Inclusive, diverse spirit
It’s like the mom and dad
You can show off to Tainan’s folks with confidence
(Taiwanese) My daughter is a shit!
(Chinese) My daughter will farm Oh!
Do not forget the next time you see the green paddy fields
That’s the farmer’s battlefield
The food we eat is they all day long
The result of working hard with God
I am a child growing up in the countryside
At that time, I never thought I would be a radio host
And now as a broadcaster
I secretly dream
Can use the radio to listen to the countryside
thank you all
(Taiwanese) Thank you for listening
