I always have a career path in mind. That is to work as someone who can speak up for the people of Orchid Island and serve the indigenous peoples. When I was a junior student in college, I took part in the protest against nuclear waste storage at Orchid Island and we successfully barred 100 thousand barrels of nuclear waste from entering into Orchid Island. I gave up my study as a medical student and my future career as a physician without hesitation and dedicated fully myself to legislature work to propel legislation for indigenous peoples. Afterward, I committed myself to media work to give indigenous people a voice to right the wrongs. Now I assumed the role as the third chairman of Indigenous Peoples Cultural Foundation(IPCF), a position that carries heavy responsibilities.
The island has suffered from issues like nuclear waste, transportation, culture, pollution and tourism impact. These all led to the rapid vanishing and fading of the language and culture. The state of Orchid Island encapsulates the states of all indigenous communities in Taiwan. Fortunately, our country is making progress with attempts to amend historical mistakes and establish equality for indigenous peoples. Alongside laws, regulations and institutions, there is also a dedicated system for media and broadcasting network. IPCF itself serves as a critical platform to monitor the development of indigenous society. It also enables a network of indigenous talents from areas like media and culture.
I hope during my term as the chairman, I can support our team to capture the characteristics of indigenous communities and integrate existing platforms ranging from radio broadcast, TV network and publications. I would like to see the synergy of different media to be put to good use and form marketing strategies to reach far and beyond. It is our job, as media and cultural professionals to truthfully represent the characteristics of indigenous communities and give both the general public and colleges within the foundation a rich exposure to the diversity of indigenous cultures.
