Cheng Feng-Hsi Memorial Library Introduction
The Zheng Feng-Hsi Memorial Library was established by Mr. Zheng Feng-Hsi, who was motivated by the lack of library facilities in the rural areas. Unfortunately, he passed away from liver cancer before achieving his goal. His wife, Ms. Wu Chi-Chao, worked hard to fulfill his wish by establishing the Zheng Feng-Hsi Cultural and Educational Foundation and raising funds for the construction of the library. With assistance from various sources, the library was completed in 1989, occupying an area of 1,708 square meters, with the design by renowned architect Lee Tsu-Yuan, featuring a ship-shaped structure. In 1992, it was awarded as an outstanding township library. The library is located along County Road 164 in Yunlin, featuring a distinctive sloping roof design. The exterior of the building stands out beside lush green rice fields, resembling a ship with sails raised, navigating bravely through the vast ocean, just as it inspires life through the books it houses, promoting relentless pursuit. Situated next to County Road 164 in Kouhu Township, its architecture prominently features the sloping ship-shaped roof. This library represents Mr. Zheng Feng-Hsi's greatest aspiration, wishing to provide local children with a comfortable reading environment and a rich collection of books. Inside, it showcases the books and prosthetic limbs used by Zheng Feng-Hsi during his lifetime for public viewing, allowing visitors to gain a deeper understanding of his life and accomplishments.
