The Inspired Island: The Coming Of Tulku

Chou Meng-tieh's bookstall on Wuchang St. was an iconic image of Taipei's 60s and 70s literary scene. This film attempts to reproduce the atmosphere of Wuchang St., and to recount the amazing pilgrimage of the 90-year-old poet. Chou shares his memories and Buddhist-influenced writings, seeking meaning from the pain of displacement and illness.
