Central News Agency, Lienchiang County, May 14 (Reporter Pan Hsin-tung) - Li Yao-jin, a 93-year-old resident of Nangan Township, set foot on Dongyin for the first time today, a trip made possible by the Tieban Community Development Association and Lienchiang County Council Speaker Chang Yung-chiang. She said one of her life's dreams was to travel to Dongyin, and after actually visiting, she felt a completely different atmosphere from Nangan.
The Tieban Community Development Association, located in Ren'ai Village, Nangan, visited Dongyin Township today after being selected as an outstanding community. Among the group, two elderly members in wheelchairs, both over 90 years old, drew attention. Association director Li Chin-mei told a Central News Agency reporter that when 93-year-old Li Yao-jin heard the association was visiting Dongyin, she was the first to sign up and even brought her two sons along, hoping to fulfill her dream of traveling to Dongyin.
Li Yao-jin told the Central News Agency today that she had always wanted to go to Dongyin but never had the chance. When the association organized the visit, she asked her sons to sign up with her. Whether it was the boat ride, visiting the attractions, or the Dongyin landscape, she felt a completely different atmosphere from Nangan. She also joked that Dongyin's food whetted her appetite, saying "it feels like I didn't eat enough for lunch," making her sons sweat nervously.
Meanwhile, 97-year-old Chen O-o also participated in this Dongyin visit, accompanied by her son. Chen O-o's son, Feng Chang-ming, told the Central News Agency that his mother had visited Dongyin more than 10 years ago. Revisiting the old place after many years, she enjoyed the beauty of the island and created wonderful memories with her neighbors.
KMT Lienchiang County Council Speaker Chang Yung-chiang, who helped arrange the itinerary for the Tieban Community Development Association, told the media that he was honored to help the elderly fulfill their dreams and was happy to see residents traveling and exchanging visits between townships. Li Chin-mei said the tour group of 30 people visited the Dongyin Lighthouse, Yixiantian, Andong Tunnel, and Sanshan Stronghold today, and is scheduled to return to Nangan tomorrow morning.
