Working together to develop Tongxing Old Street

Working together to develop Tongxing Old Street 

For this year’s 4th PeoPo Your Shoot event we visited Tongxing in Miaoli’s Houlong Township, where a group of young people has been investing their time and energy to reinvigorate the community. Director of Houlongwan Development Association Chen Yan-yun (陳彥云) said the establishment of “Houlong Matters”(後龍大小事) internet platform by a group of young people has been instrumental in attracting many more young people to the area. Brimming with many great ideas, the youngsters have started to renovate Fuxing Old Street and set up flea markets, encouraging many other young people to start up businesses in the area. It is hoped that the flourishing days of Fuxing Old Street’s past are just around the corner. Close to 60 citizen journalists participating in this Your Shoot event helped capture the rich diversity of Tongxing Old Street on camera and share the many fascinating stories far and wide.

今年PeoPo平台的第四場踹拍，來到了苗栗縣的後龍鄉，要跟大家分享同興社區，如何藉由一群年輕人的投入與付出，重新綻放不一樣的活力。後龍灣協會理事長陳彥云說，一群年輕人從「後龍大小事」的網路平台開始了返鄉路，召集更多有理想的年輕人返鄉，復興老街、定期舉辦惜福市集，吸引許多在地青年返鄉創業，希望再造過去的繁華。此次踹拍活動共有將近60位公民記者參與，用鏡頭記錄了豐富多元的老街風華，將同興老街的故事分享給更多人。
