Si Yabosokanen
2021Si Yabosokanen was born on Orchid Island (Lanyu), Taiwan. Her Tao name, Si Yabosokanen, was given by a community elder of whom she had taken care; with a literal meaning of 'a person who has nothing to eat', the name is actually a blessing of plentiful sustenance. She earned her Master's degree in Public Health at the Tzu Chi University, and worked as a nurse at the Lanyu Health Centre. At the age of 25, she began using a camera to film the unknown stories of Tao elders on the island. In 2017, she founded Yabosokanen Home Care Association, the first home care institution in Lanyu. She was awarded the Nightingale Individual Special Contribution Golden Award in 2019, for her warm, caring spirit.

Si Yabosokanen
According to the Tao people’s traditional beliefs, illness was a sign of supernatural possession by evil spirits. Many patients thus became isolated, unable to receive any medical care. A native of the Orchid Island (Lanyu) where she worked as a nurse, the filmmaker initiated a program in 1997, recruiting some 40 volunteers to visit and care for homebound elderly patients against considerable social pressure. This documentary captures the powerful dilemma when traditional values clash with compassion.
