Resident planning

There are few contemporary literary works in Taiwan that focus on the "traumatic experiences of social movements". However, in "Leaving the Streets and Bidding Farewell to the Revolution / Life Is the Inescapable Battle", understanding social movements can begin with the collective, but understanding social movement trauma must begin with the individual. Through the observations of literature, we can contemplate the complexities of the lives of social movement participants after they leave the streets. After the story, we can turn the trauma into a protective net to catch ourselves, those of us who have been traumatized by social movements, and those who will take to the streets in the future.
