Huang Yung-Fu is a 96-year-old soldier who has painted each of the houses in his village to save it from demolition. Taichung was once a beautiful town with 1.200 houses. The vast majority were houses of retired soldiers, given by the government.
As time passed, most of the soldiers left, while many others settled and did not leave their homes. They inhabited them to have their lives in the Nantun district. The only thing that happened is that the number of inhabitants decreased drastically and in the end there are 11 left.
Huang Yung-Fu, over time, being one of the few remaining in the village, began to spend his time painting his house with a simple bird, so that over time he began to take his artistic work to other walls with different figures and creatures.
This entailed receiving the attention of the curious who passed through the town. So become one of the most visited towns region of. And we are mainly facing the reason why the government stopped its plans to demolish the houses that were left standing in the town.
