《台中通信 TAICHU ISSUE》創刊號發行

 《台中通信 TAICHU ISSUE》創刊號

期待已久的中英文對照雙語刊物現正式預售。我們選用了王水河藝術家的「水河圓體」作為刊物的主視覺字體，特別感謝王文芳建築師為中英字體調整細節、排版監修，為我們帶來精美的封面設計。

如果你常閱讀日本時代的報紙，肯定對新聞結尾的「台中通信」不陌生。還記得第一次閱讀《臺灣日日新報》時的感動，那些來自台中的訊息彷彿穿越時空，來到了21世紀的今天。這本刊物是記錄台中的開始，也是我們希望延續那些即將消逝的城市風景的初衷。從台中出發，向世界發信。

城市的歷史是由無數生命故事和產業共同構成的。城市的多樣性也來自這些老店與人們生活的痕跡。我們與城市的距離，早已不再是大時空與事件的存在，大歷史也無法滿足我們理解生活的場域。十年來，我們採集了城市裡的生命史和老店的故事，並與社區大學田調班的學生一起記錄，透過造訪老店的過程，認識台中。

你的訂購是對我們繼續採集更多台中故事的支持

Taichu Issue: Inaugural Edition

The long-awaited bilingual publication with Chinese-English parallel text is now officially available for pre-order. We have chosen the "Shui-He Round Font " by artist Wang Shuihe as the main visual font for the magazine. Special thanks to architect Wang Wenfang for fine-tuning the details of the Chinese and English fonts and overseeing the layout, resulting in a beautifully designed cover.

If you frequently read newspapers from the Japanese era, you are likely familiar with the "Taichu Correspondence" at the end of the news articles. We named it "Taichu Issue," using the Chinese synonym for "Taichung Correspondence." The first time we read the "Taiwan Nichi Nichi Shinpō," We was deeply moved; those messages from Taichung seemed to traverse time, arriving in the 21st century. This publication marks the beginning of recording Taichung's history and represents our desire to preserve the disappearing cityscapes. Starting from Taichung, we send our messages to the world.

A city's history is composed of countless life stories and industries. The diversity of a city also comes from these old shops and traces of people's lives. Our relationship with the city is no longer defined by vast spaces and events; grand histories cannot satisfy our understanding of living spaces. Over the past decade, we have collected life histories and stories of old shops in the city, collaborating with community college students in fieldwork classes. By visiting these old shops, we come to know Taichung.

Your subscription supports our efforts to gather more stories of Taichung.
