Cherish 2011

Produced by Taipei City Government's Department of Labor, director Wang Cheng-yang's Cherish tells the extraordinary story of Wei Te-song, a 61-year-old retiree selflessly devoted to life and the environment. His cherishing attitude towards forsaken everyday objects stems from his love for the land, and that's why he's a scavenger, animal lover and eco-friendly artist like no other. Conveying Wei's philosophy of resources redistribution, this thought-provoking documentary depicts his life of recycling "trash," feeding stray dogs and creating pieces of art from recycled materials.
