Golden Age of the Banana Industry: Agricultural Nostalgia Film "Banana Girls" Premieres in Qishan
After the merger and upgrade of the six special municipalities, counties and cities in Taiwan, China, the impact on rural areas is the pressure of urban thinking, so from the spiritual essence of this film we find that the rural spirit and development should be like the Banana Girl in the film, keeping more of the local identity, keeping more autonomous development, and showing a character that society yearns for. This may be the inspiration that "Men and Women of the Banana Orchard" gives us - a little more wildness in life is what can win applause for the splendor of a small town.
Through the screening of the film "Men and Women of the Banana Orchard," let society join in dialogue with the preservation movement of Taiping Market, and in the face of a cold government toward the continuation of rural culture, revitalization, and spiritual uplift, we should really rethink: the urban viewpoint is by no means a panacea for rural revitalization, but rather a killer that destroys rural character. For Qishan, after the merger of county and city, urban authoritarianism has risen, and the rural people should possess an independent-minded, autonomous Banana Girl, for only then will Qishan have the chance to fall into a passionate love affair again. The aloof government authority should let go of its power-based urban viewpoint and join the ranks of this Banana Girl's participation, so that rural areas and cities present completely different characters, and only then will they have the chance to win positive applause from the people.
