Kuroshio Ocean University's autumn event will take place on October 31, walking along the sea line.

Walking, with our feet, feeling the most direct heartbeat tremor of the earth.

Walking, at the boundary of mountains and sea, feeling the breath that the two exchange and flow between them.

When the transportation construction of Hualien and Taitung is endlessly imagined, what the myth of speed leads to is not real scenery, but cheap and stereotyped consumption; those expressions of the mountains and moods of the sea become scenery that vanishes in a glance, brushed past, left behind and forgotten by people...

Have you seen the posture of water birds at the creek mouth on the riverbed with exposed mud and sand, step by step pressing out shallow claw prints?

Have you touched a banyan that bursts out from a collapsed rock crevice, its branches still slender yet firm?

Have you stepped on the asphalt road surface, uneven and scarred by too many gravel trucks driving over it?

Have you heard gravel of all sizes, as if fruitlessly yet eternally rolling back and forth?

Give yourself a chance, with the most primitive ability, the most humble posture,

with our feet, at the boundary of mountains and sea, we walk.
