Deputy Minister Chen Yi-shin of the Indigenous Peoples Committee attended an event, emphasizing that the central government will continue to be a solid backing for indigenous areas, accompanying local communities on the path of post-disaster reconstruction, and gradually building new hopes for indigenous villages that combine cultural vitality, community resilience, and industrial development energy.
The event was subsidized by the Indigenous Peoples Committee and jointly organized by Mennonite Christian Hospital, the Christian Guangfu District Church, the Chinese Flying Youth Care Association, and the Hualien Tourist Sugar Factory. Twenty university students from the Tung-Hua University Indigenous Youth Service Group brought an intergenerational exchange full of laughter to the residents of Guangfu Township through creative activities and nostalgic toys.
Chen Yi-shin said that Guangfu Township is an important Amis settlement, and culture and faith hold crucial significance in the post-disaster reconstruction process. Through indigenous language worship, cultural performances, and community participation, it not only helps to unite tribal emotions but also strengthens cultural subjectivity.
Chen Yi-shin stated that in addition to continuously promoting the "Reconstruction of Matang'an Creek Landslide Disaster Area - Indigenous Industry Regeneration and Recovery Plan for Fiscal Year 115," the Indigenous Peoples Committee will continue to work hand in hand with local governments and private partners through policy support and resource infusion to promote the parallel development of indigenous cultural inheritance and industrial development, jointly building a more resilient and hopeful indigenous society.
Miao Wei-jie, Chairman of the Chinese Flying Youth Care Association and an infectious disease physician at Mennonite Christian Hospital, said that healthcare and social welfare are the two wings of rural care. As a doctor, he deeply understands the importance of physical health, but as chairman of Flying Youth, he sees the value of "community companionship" for the mental health of the elderly.
Miao Wei-jie pointed out that the collaboration with the Tung-Hua University Indigenous Youth Service Group not only demonstrates the close connection between local organizations in Hualien and academic institutions but also allows the residents of Guangfu Township to feel the warm support from all sectors of society for post-disaster reconstruction and rural care amidst joy.
