Mountains in Hualien—Lao River—and The Rainbow Waterfall
“I was at the upstream of Lao River, Hualien, on an April day. Beyond the thick forests was Rainbow Waterfall—the scene in the movie Seediq Bale where Mona Rudo and his father sing an extraordinary duet, was filmed at this location. There I stood on the high ground, overlooking the dense mountains and the spot where water-flows meet. The mountains undulated, and I was surrounded by innumerable trees. The verdant canopies of camphor trees sang a high-pitched melody, which resonated with early spring’s tone. The mist after noon enfolded the mountains and brought out an uncommon, gentle aura in the forests—this was inspiration to the soul, as a human encounter with the earth.
——In Hualien, 2012, Tzuchi Yeh
