Taipei: 2026 is the New 2016 台北：2026年就是新的2016年

This is a historical travel piece about Taipei in 2016 — a year that the "2026 is the new 2016" cultural movement is now recovering as a touchstone of the last era before algorithmic monoculture rewired human attention. It visits five overlooked sites: the Presidential Office building on its ancient geomantic axis, a hillside community of soldiers who never returned home, a boulevard named after a people the city erased, a sea goddess temple at the exact point where the city's water flows out to sea, and a basement music venue where a political generation found its voice. Together, they reveal a hidden geography older than any government that has tried to claim this land.

台北2016年：龍脈の上に刻まれた、五つの忘れられた記憶

2016年の台北は、歴史的な大統領選挙、故郷へ帰れなかった兵士たちの丘、消えた民族の名を冠する大道、台風の季節に参拝者を呼んだ海の女神の廟、そして一世代の政治的感情を音楽に変えた地下室であった。五つの場所。一つの隠された地誌。歴史書はその何一つとして書いていない。

This is the "2026 Is the New 2016" series. Tokyo, Hong Kong preceded it. The dragon vein runs through all three cities, in three different vocabularies. The grammar is the same.
