Sanzhi District 三芝區
Most people pass through Sanzhi for strawberries, or for photographs of ruins that no longer exist. But in the coastal wind off the Taiwan Strait, if you stand still long enough, five centuries of unfinished history begin to press through.
From the extinction of the Ketagalan language to a utopian ruin on the coast, from the ghost economy of a fishing shore to the childhood of a democratic revolution — what a district nobody stops at can tell us about a country the world hasn't finished deciding what to do with.
三芝:台灣五百年歷史最低調的見證地
大多數人知道三芝,不過草莓與那批已成廢墟的飛碟形度假屋。然而,凱達格蘭族的靈魂地圖在此消亡,閩南移民的渡海創傷在此落地成廟,宏國建設的現代烏托邦在此中途折戟,三十八年的戒嚴海防在此留下沉默的混凝土傷疤,台灣第一位民選總統在此出生。這是一篇關於五百年啟動而未竟的歷史解碼。

Sanzhi : cinq siècles d’histoire inachevée, côte nord de Taïwan
La plupart traversent Sanzhi pour les fraises, ou pour photographier des ruines qui n’existent plus. Mais dans le vent de cette côte, si l’on s’arrête assez longtemps, cinq siècles d’histoire inachevée commencent à sourdre du sol. Voici ce qu’ils ont laissé — et pourquoi rien n’a jamais pu rester.

三芝:台湾北岸に眠る、五百年の未完の歴史
大半の旅人がいちごを求め、あるいはもはや存在しない廃墟の写真を 撮るために通り過ぎる。だが台湾海峡から吹きつける風のなかで、 しばし立ち止まるなら、五百年分の未完の歴史が地の底から 滲み出してくるのを感じるだろう。これは、散じる前のひとときの記録である。
