Zheng Fengxi Memorial Library Introduction
The Zheng Feng-Hsi Memorial Library was established by Mr. Zheng Feng-Hsi, who, feeling the lack of library facilities in rural areas, aspired to set up a library. Unfortunately, he passed away from liver cancer before achieving his goal. His wife, Ms. Wu Chi-Chao, worked tirelessly to fulfill her husband's dream by establishing the Zheng Feng-Hsi Cultural and Educational Foundation and began to raise funds for the construction of the library. With assistance from various sources, the library was completed in 1989, covering an area of 519.4 square meters. It was designed by the renowned architect Lee Tsu-Yuan, featuring a ship-shaped architectural style. In 1992, it was awarded as an outstanding township library. The library is located along County Road 164 in Yunlin, with a distinctive sloped ship-shaped roof that makes its architecture stand out. It stands next to green rice fields, resembling a ship sailing with its sails raised, navigating the vast ocean, much like the life lessons conveyed in its books, encouraging relentless effort. Situated beside County Road 164 in Kouhu Township, its most unique feature is the sloped ship-shaped roof. This library fulfills Mr. Zheng Feng-Hsi's greatest wish to provide local residents and their children with a comfortable reading environment and a rich collection of books. Inside, it displays books and prosthetics used by Zheng Feng-Hsi during his lifetime, allowing visitors to gain further understanding of his life and achievements.
