Zheng Fong-Hsi was born with two distinctive legs; his right leg bends in various directions below the knee, while his left leg is atrophied below the knee. His mother fainted upon seeing him, fearing their struggling family could not support him. However, Zheng persevered and achieved independence, graduating from university and creating accomplishments. He chronicled his arduous journey of growth and academic pursuit in the touching book "A Boat in the Vast Ocean," which became a bestseller with over a million copies sold and was adapted into a film, resonating with society's heart. He was also elected one of the Ten Outstanding Young Persons, serving as a role model for physically disabled youth, embodying the spirit of striving against adversity. Although Zheng Fong-Hsi's former residence is a simple Sanheyuan (three-section compound), it retains many remnants of his life, including tools, books, and musical instruments he used. This site is preserved for its historical and cultural significance, as well as the spirit of the place, hoping to promote the relentless spirit of Mr. Zheng Fong-Hsi.
