Restarting with Fang SiChi, from Darkness to Dawn.
In 2017, Fang Si-Chi's First Love Paradise was published. Its distinct literary style immediately captivated readers, but the brutal reality and agonizing introspection presented beneath the exquisite yet sharp prose caused an even greater storm when the author, Lin Yi-Han, chose to take her own life shortly after the novel's release. To this day, this novel is constantly referenced whenever Taiwanese people discuss gender issues. For eight years, no one has forgotten Fang Si-Chi and Lin Yi-Han. However, even after the wounds have been exposed, we still hope for the possibility of repair and healing—not only for Si-Chi and Yi-Han but also for all the real pains that have been spoken and those yet to be uttered. If stories once brought dark wounds into the light, then in 2025, we hope to use the power of stories to rise powerfully from heartbreak, becoming a light for ourselves and for others.

Those irreversible slices of life
Recently, in a novel I've come to love, I found myself grasping the weight of life's slices. In the story, there is a wicked sorcerer who freezes people in the instant just before tragedy strikes—suspending everything, sealing it into a crystal ball, and building an entire museum from these frozen moments. And isn't film, in its own way, just as cruel? As viewers, we are little more than instruments for collecting tissue slices—slipping into a character's world for a single fleeting moment, wandering through it in passing, only to return, in the blink of an eye, to the reality that is our own.
