Resident planning

Qidong Street, formerly known as Sam-pán-kiô, was renamed Saiwaichō in 1922. During the Taihoku (Taipei) Air Raid in 1945, Taihoku Second High School for Girls (now the Legislative Yuan), located just three streets away in the same district, was damaged. Luckily, the Japanese-style buildings on Qidong Street, which served as official residences, remained intact. Based on historical research, my residency project "Before Saiwaichō: The Historical Investigation and Literary adaptation of Sam-pán-kiô" plans to center around the Taiwan Literature Base and connect surrounding geographic areas, including the Taihoku Brewery (now Huashan 1914 Creative Park) and Taihoku Prefectural Taihoku Second Middle School (now Chenggong High School), to complete a short historical novel.
