莎韻紀念碑 - Nan'ao Township

In the Showa period, the hometown of the Atayal girl who talks about Lee Kaoran's masterpiece "Sayon's Bell" is in this martial arts village. This is also the location of the movie.

A good place in the outskirts to experience the life of local culture

The story begins with a single-pass drowning incident that beautifies Japanese colonial rule. Now I only want to remember the beautiful part: the simplicity of the original people and the mournful song "サヨンの钟" made by Japan at the time to promote patriotic sentiment following the drowning event. In 1941 (?) Japan’s eighteenth Governor of Taiwan Hasegawa Kiyoshi presented a tribute to the indigenous girl Sa Yunte with the inscription "Patriotic Otome" and "April 16th Taiwan Governor Hasegawa Kiyoshi". "Shayun's Bell", the current Shayun's Bell is a replica. The real Shayun's Bell was lost in the post-war tribal migration. Now the "Shayun Memorial Park" where the "pseudo" clock is located is placed separately by the Yilan County Government. At the same time, the Japanese authorities were on the bank of the wrecked stream. Nanao Nanxi (formerly known as Wuta Nanxi) had a monument commemorating the "Patriotic Otome サヨン宮のち", which means "the place where the patriotic girl Sha Yun died." After the war, based on the hatred of the Japanese government, Sha Yun’s memorial monument was destroyed. The Japanese characters on the stele are now unclear. The original location of the stele has been moved from the bank of the stream to the high slope beside the asphalt road due to road reconstruction.

Existing between history and legend; disappearing between life and impermanence

The tragedy of our Atayal tribe, Wuta tribe, girls and Japanese teachers And wrote a subject song in Japanese, and sang a song in Mandarin, Sha Yun Zhizhong Touching I hope that when you pass by the Wuta tribe, Can come to Wuta Cemetery. This monument Remembrance and gratitude

* Parking space is small, it is recommended to park the car and walk up ~ * This is the monument set up by Sha Yun in the past * There are pavilions and short trails, the trails are not shaded, and there are many mosquitoes. You need to pay attention to sunscreen and anti-mosquitoes ~ you will get to the railroad tracks when you reach the end of the trail ~

After reading the book "Finding the Way", I came to the monument of Sha Yun's authentic works. The green hills are still there, and the cross of the church in the distance complements each other. Different times and different educations have led to different thinking.
