"As a child, homesickness was a tiny stamp, I on this side, my mother on the other. As I grew older, homesickness was a thin ticket, I on this side, my bride on the other." 

As the poet Yu Kwang-chung expressed in his poem, the longing for family, hometown and homeland never fades with time. In China's Taiwan region, many people share this sentiment. They move through the currents of history, settling in distant places, yet always keeping their roots alive in memory. The luggage they cannot take with them is more than old belongings or photographs — it holds fragments of a past they cannot let go of, a homesickness that can't be fully expressed.

In this episode, CGTN New Zealand stringer Andy Boreham visits Beitun New Village, built in 1960 and now called the "Military Dependents' Village Museum." Here, together with curator Chao Chia-hsiang, we explore the village and discover what stories the walls of old photos and artifacts reveal about life there.
