His and Her story
「滿洲一間店」是一間很親切，很有故事的店，
好想回去坐坐，喝茶、聊一整天。
Built and ran by an old couple, who are both artists, this quaint little shop is a hidden gem full of stories waiting to be discovered.
／His story.
Mr Wang spent 15 hours a day working on the house; he designed, cleaned, built a roof and created many beautiful furniture over the period of 4 to 5 months. But this is nothing compared to the house he built in Dulan, he said.
He and his wife have retired in Dulan for its beautiful scenery but unfortunately it has become increasingly touristy over the years. After a few years, they decided to move and start a new life here instead as his wife has always been fond of Manzhou.
And he told us, the story of the wire:
Once upon a time, he was walking along the street and saw a long black piece of wire lying on the ground. It should not be there; it did not belong there, he thought. Wires, like humans and plants and all items, have feelings and should be respected too. Hence he picked it up and brought it home. Now the wire is properly framed on the wall, like a piece of beloved art that only people who have heard this story can appreciate.
／她的故事。
63歲的張大姐，看起來頂多40出頭。
而她保持年輕的祕訣，就是快樂。
“這裡可以分享快樂，進來的人都很快樂。
看到美麗的東西就會很快樂。”
她邀請我們參觀房子，耐心講解牆上的繪畫，原來都是她引以為傲的作品。
也介紹了門旁挂著的一幅臺語詩，念出來整個感覺很舒服…好喜歡！
