Victory Village - General's House Introduction
Pingtung Victory Village was originally a group of Japanese-style buildings received from Japan after the end of World War II. Each courtyard showcases different scenery based on the preferences of its owners’ plants and styles. After the Republic of China government moved to Taiwan, this area served as an important military officer's residence for the national army. With the Ministry of National Defense's plans for the reform of military dependents' residences, many areas faced reconstruction and demolition. However, under the efforts of the Pingtung County government, these fortunate 71 Japanese-style buildings were preserved, serving as a testament to the era when relationships deepened due to the displacement caused by war. Under the bright sun, these 71 houses radiate a strong sense of the military dependents' village, connecting the memories of all its residents indefinitely. Among them, the General's House is a one-and-a-half-story Japanese-style building, featuring a black eave and a pebble staircase; its Japanese-style corridor and Taiwan's traditional plaster walls embody a history that has been passed down through generations, witnessing the comings and goings of people. Today, the General's House is no longer inhabited by a general but instead tells the 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.
