The aborigines of the 21st century have the blood of their ancestors flowing through them. The Atayal people living in the big cities of the Republic of China missed the tribe after going up the mountain along the Dajia River. Only then did they realize that the street lights had more points and discounts than the tribesmen. They just wanted everyone to be the same and stay away. The differential treatment policy in the traditional field has no choice but to write the poem "Let's Go Home" in the language you want me to know. The first collection of poems by Huang Xi, the winner of the Taiwan Literature Award for Aboriginal Chinese Poetry, "I want to live like a fish bone, stuck in their throats."

The fire in the house,
Never saw it go out.

Even if Yodas slipped and drowned in a fishing ravine,
Even though Yaqi can no longer recall anything related to himself,
Even if Ma Shu slipped into the cliff while delivering food in the early morning,
Even if Yada suddenly disappeared in his youth,
Even though Yaba worked hard but died of cancer,
Even if Yaya is unable to resist too much loss and chooses to pass away,
——〈Yutas〉

Mona Neng's "Beautiful Ears of Rice" (1989, Morning Star) is regarded as the first Chinese poetry collection of Taiwan's aboriginal people. It reflects the survival problems of the aboriginal people at that time: group exploitation, social discrimination, cultural loss, Human trafficking... and other issues. More than thirty years later, these problems have not been completely eliminated, and new problems have arisen. Huang Xi, Temu Suyan, an aboriginal young man who went to live in the city, got to know the tribe again because of his homework, and relearned how to become an aboriginal in the 21st century. "The Collection of Bones" is Huang Xi's first collection of poems in Chinese. It accumulates his thoughts on the current situation of aboriginal people, as well as his own positioning and thinking. The whole book is divided into four volumes:

Edit 1/Return to God
In the life course of modern Aboriginal youth, there is a process of exploring self-identity and completing a reflection on self-identity. This kind of pursuit not only drew a line back to the tribe from the city, but also led to renewed renewal and reform within the entire aboriginal group. "Huishen" integrates tribes and cities, focusing on individuals to pursue the history and future of ethnic groups, tribes, cultures, and languages.

Part Two/Blood Loss
If "Return to God" is a return from the city to the tribe, "Blood Loss" focuses on the bleeding flowing from the tribe. In contemporary society, the loss of tribal young people to cities is no longer unfamiliar. In tribes, even the elderly, land, language, culture, and customs are constantly being lost. This is a terrifying situation that everyone is accustomed to and takes for granted.

Series 3/Gu Kun
The themes of the first two volumes are "The City Returns to the Tribe" and "The Tribe Arrives in the City". In "Bone", we write about issues related to the indigenous people and social movement issues that cannot be discussed and written with the indigenous subjects as the center of thinking. The dilemma you will encounter sometimes may be ironic, or it may be sincere.

Series 4/Wake
The culture of the tribe and the civilization of the ethnic group need to be continued through us. Only in this way can the weight and thickness of the mother culture be given. In the process of searching, the eyes, ears and tongue that belonged to the mother were gradually recovered.

This pot of fire,
Bag after bag of charred charcoal is still burning red,
Heat and light rejoice in bone-white ashes.
How can I bear to forget?
The shape and smell of those flames,
Emotions, sounds, contours, touch
And the process of turning into ashes in an instant.
How can this teach me how to be unprepared?
