✨Members of the AIT community were honored to join the Dajia Mazu Pilgrimage last weekend along with foreign representatives and ambassadors from 13 countries under the invitation of the Digital Diplomacy Association. The AIT community experienced the charm of local religious culture and strong people-to-people connections in the Mazu Pilgrimage. Because of Taiwan’s exceptional success in combatting the COVID-19 pandemic, the Dajia Mazu Pilgrimage has become one of the few large-scale religious festivals taking place in the world. Have you ever joined the Mazu Pilgrimage? We welcome you to share your pilgrimage photos and your hopes for the prospect for U.S.-Taiwan relations in the comments!

#太陽花學運 邁入7週年之際，鬼島之音希望能盡一份力，在社群上再次推，《 太陽・不遠 Sunflower Occupation 》紀錄片，重溫十個導演串起的九個主題。整部片子搭配雙語字幕，非常適合海外人士觀賞。紀錄片探討的是，在長達 24 天的占領國會運動中，青年如何被改變？ 24 天後他們又改變了什麼？完整影片：https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLs3tDb1WiI

🌻 Sunflower Movement - 7 Years Later 🌻

To mark this pivotal event in Taiwan’s recent history, we looked up some of the student activists from 2014.

On March 18, 2014, student activists occupied Taiwan’s parliament demanding the withdrawal of a trade pact with China. For the next 24 days, 400 protesters camped inside while 10,000 more surrounded the area. Among them were documentary filmmakers. The result was “Sunflower Occupation" - a 120min documentary featuring 9 activists + their days inside. The film crowdfunded $2.5M NTD in just four days. It was released by October 2014, in just 6 months.

Here’s the full film, with English subtitles! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLs3tDb1WiI

“Sunflower Occupation” was produced by Taipei Documentary Filmmakers’ Union. It screened at multiple film festivals in Taiwan and Hong Kong in 2014 and 2015. Today, we looked up some of the activists featured.

🌻 Fei-fan LIN emerged as a central figure of the Sunflower Movement. He appears throughout our recommended film, “Sunflower Occupation.” He is currently Deputy Secretary General of the Democratic Progressive Party.

🌻 Yi PAN is a new-gen force in Taiwan’s NGO scene. She’s worked on education, anti-death penalty, LGBTQ, New Power Taiwan, and more. She’s currently East Asia officer at the International Federation for Human Rights. She’s featured in the 7th segment of “Sunflower Occupation.”

🌻 Wei-ting CHEN appears in the 1st segment, titled “A Commander Made by Accident.” CHEN became one of faces of the Sunflower Movement in 2014. He’s currently pursuing a degree in foreign policy and international economic law at the The Fletcher School at Tufts University

🌻 Sheng-Yu HSIEH is an activist and social impact entrepreneur. He was also at the 2010 Wild Strawberry Movement and founded Howsfood to coach, empower, and boost small-scale farmers in rural Taiwan. Meet him in segment 8 of the documentary.

🌻 Brian HIOE does not appear in the 2014 documentary, but he was present and on-site from the very first day of the movement. He is now a prominent voice of Taiwan’s pro-democracy advocacy in the English language.

To round up our tribute to this pivotal event in contemporary Taiwan history, we recommend the Daybreak Project, an English-language archive and encyclopedia, which open-source movement g0v calls “The Most Complete Archive of Taiwan’s Sunflower Movement.” It is hosted by HIOE’s New Bloom Magazine.

Nowadays States & European countries are being very strict and rejecting foreign artist visa (will be stricter after covid) so ya the only more secure route is via higher education (master + phd) (at least 5 years above).
(Also no longer can bring manager, unless manager also go for phd)

现在，美国还有欧洲已经不批艺人证了（covid 后会更严厉) , 最保守还有稳的路只有靠学业（硕士+博士）（至少5年以上）
(注意：不能带经纪人，除非经纪人也去念博士吧）

Sekarang USA dan banyak negara Eropah dah Tak bagi Artis Visa dah (Akan lebih ketat lepas Covid) , Cara yg paling kukuh adalah melalui pelajaran (Master + PhD) ( kena 5 tahun berterusan) (Note: Tak boleh bawa manager, manager juga kena phd above)

Every year, the temples on Phuket Island play host to a series of temple fairs and festivals where the Thai and foreign tourists gather to browse the temple grounds, go shopping for just about anything at tents full of items from clothing to cd, dvds, jewelery, toys, and of course a wide variety of games and Thai food, Check out this short video from http://www.tigermuaythai.com on this years festival.
