An Army Hostel Crossing Time and Space ── V's Attempt Travel Notes

The most beautiful homestay "Military Inn" in Taiwan Province Province takes you on a time-space journey.

Exclusive original audio and video for interior design.

I like the opening remarks of Justin, the owner of the military hostel:

"This is the product of different times and staying in the same space. 」

Indeed,

For me born in 1983,

Into the military rest house.

It's like entering a history textbook.

Smell ... Touch ...

Early last year, I heard that Justin was fighting for the case of Jianye New Village.

He told me at that time: "There are too many buildings worth preserving in Taiwan Province Province, and Jianye New Village is one of them. I want to try to see them this time. " Unexpectedly, at the end of February, 65438+,he told me that he had settled down the army guest house. ...

?

In February, 2000, regardless of the global impact of the COVID-19 epidemic, the team took the equipment south by high-speed train and started a three-day and two-night shooting tour. After getting off at Zuoying Station, take a taxi for about 10 minutes. That day, the weather was really good! Because you are entering a village and there are no buildings around, people will immediately forget that they are in the city.

The tree in front of the door is so beautiful that I stopped to look up for a long time after I got off the bus …

Justin said, "This tree is a tree with plums. After the leaves fall, you can dry them and make tea. It is said that you can nourish the liver ... "

I smiled at him: "I didn't know you knew so much about trees ..."

He said, "I have been running an army hostel for half a year ... I have known this place every day for half a year ... I even know that the land here is fertile and suitable for planting fruit trees ... (Laughter ...)"

?

The difference between the military guest house and other old family villages is that it kept the main house during the Japanese occupation period and then expanded it. Therefore, we can see the wooden structure and indoor basic wooden compartment 70 years ago, with traces of generational alternation and years of etching.

?

You will also see a mix of Japanese-style sliding door tracks and Taiwan Province iron flower windows. You will walk barefoot on the wooden floor and walk down three steps to feel the coldness of the stone floor. Justin said that in the process of restoration, the old neighbors next door will be curious to explore, and they will also talk enthusiastically about where they used to live at the school level or the captain level. They have lived in 3-4 families at the same time, and now there is a toilet in the kitchen.

Listening to these little things and looking at this space, the life of the former residents who live here seems very vivid …

When I walked into the hotel, the first place that attracted me was the small fish pond …

Watching the little fish swim freely in the sun, I sat on the steps in the sun and chatted with Justin. It was sunny and windy that day. I looked up and saw a picture of the blue sky cleverly framed on the eaves of the old house, which matched with the wind driving the clouds ... The sense of alternation of the times was so strong.

It seems that the sun hasn't shone for a long time …

I got up to explore other places and went through the corridor to the kitchen space ... So I found the second favorite corner-the side (the veranda of Japanese architecture, the part extending outward under the eaves). This is the backyard of the military guest house. There are two guava trees and carambola trees in their forties. Justin said with a smile, "The neighbors next door are very concerned about whether these two trees have been cut down and the squirrels will eat the fruit."

I told Justin that if you put a vintage rocking chair on it, it would definitely make people take a nap.

At this time, familiar music came from behind ... this is the movie legend of 1900. When I looked back, Justin played this song on the vinyl record player …

To tell the truth, it's not the first time I've seen a vinyl record player, but I don't want to touch it as much as I do today, so I'm here to understand the principle of vinyl records and the sense of ritual in choosing my favorite records on the record player, which is hard to experience in the digital music era.

Here, time and space will stand still … you will forget time … you may feel that you have crossed …

Maybe … I thought I was living in a textbook … I didn't want to go …

At least, I think so.
