臺中1960年代街景與日常（民國49～58年）｜老照片動起來

This film takes you into Taichung in the 1960s—a vibrant city that rapidly rebuilt after the war. Back then, the neon lights of the theaters, the vendors in the arcades, the stilted houses along the Liuchuan River, and the crowds at the train station together formed the urban landscape of that era. From the bustling intersection of Zhongzheng Road and Ziyou Road to the lively area around the Taichung Theater and the Comprehensive Building, the streets were filled with the smells of diesel trucks and popcorn. People moved between the market, the theater, and the train station, shopping, catching trains, chatting, and laughing—everything moved at a slow pace, yet full of human warmth. The stilted houses along the Liuchuan River reflected the city lights, and the sounds of the Nantun Market and the train station square rose and fell, creating the most vivid daily life after the war. This small city boasts a rich tapestry of life: morning markets, the jingling of rickshaws and bicycles, and evenings with theatergoers queuing and neon lights flashing. It was an era of slow pace, yet fulfilling existence. Through AI restoration, colorization, and animation, this film brings the light and shadow of old Taichung back to life—the train station whistles, the ripples of the Liuchuan River, the sounds of the market, and the footsteps on the streets, awaken once more on screen, taking you back to that ordinary yet profound urban era. This is not merely a visual recreation, but a letter to Taichung from a bygone era. May you see the city growing within it, and hear the sounds of Taichung from your own memories.
