Victory Village - General's House Introduction
Pingtung Victory New Village was once a group of Japanese-style buildings received after World War II. Each courtyard reflects the owner's preferred plants and aesthetics, showcasing different beautiful scenes. After the Nationalist government arrived in Taiwan, this area served as an important military officer's quarters for the National Army. With the Ministry of National Defense's plans for housing reform, many regions faced reconstruction and demolition. However, thanks to the efforts of the Pingtung County Government, 71 of these Japanese-style buildings were preserved, standing witness to an era marked by emotional bonds forged through the turmoil of war. Under the sun, these 71 houses exude a strong sense of the military dependents' village, connecting the memories of all who lived there in an endless continuation. Among them, the General's House is a one-and-a-half-story Japanese-style building, featuring a black eave and a pebble stone stairway; with Japanese corridors and traditional Taiwanese earthen gray walls, this house tells the enduring history of human experiences, having seen crowds come and go. Today, the General's House no longer hosts generals but instead presents beautiful stories of the past, recounting the memories of Pingtung's military dependents' village, allowing the unique brilliance of Pingtung's military dependents' village to continue shining here.
