A monument commemorating the 1925 Erlin Sugarcane Farmers Incident, when farmers organized against the Linbenyuan Sugar Company’s exploitative practices. On October 22, police and company workers attempted to forcibly harvest crops, sparking a confrontation that led to 93 arrests and 25 convictions. The incident catalyzed Taiwan’s island-wide farmers’ movement. Erected in 2005, the monument sits in an obscure patch of weeds far our into the countryside.

I am a web application developer, photojournalist, urban explorer, and history enthusiast passionate about the open web and documenting my experiences on this planet. This project was founded in the early 2010s and has evolved into a sort of personal Wikipedia of places that interest me (and often the photographs I’ve taken there). I’m originally from Toronto, Canada, but spend most of my time residing in Taiwan.
