Description of Our Community: Kaohsiung, restrained by the image of industrial city with the impression of polluted air and water, is also called “cultural desert” by other parts of Taiwanese people. However, a man, named Tyzen Hsiao, used his musical notes to compose the story of Kaohsiung, Taiwan. Hsiao, who earned his reputation as “Taiwan Rachmaninoff,” infused Taiwanese music with elements of western music to express the beauty of Taiwan. This enabled the world to better understand and witness Taiwan.

Project Description: We participated the concert of Tyzen Hsiao two nyears ago. During the two-hour span, we were deeply touched by his rich love for this land from the music. Meanwhile, I couldn’t help thinking that people in Taiwan don’t respect our national anthem when we sang it because we were not linked to it emotionally. Therefore, we came up with the idea that we could do something to pass his messages to people in this island because people here need to be united together to face the challenges ahead of us.
