Nan-Ao's Tangled Web of Love

Following the terrible news that his wife had cancer, 58-year-old Atayal tribesman and village warden, Song Ya-lun, turned over a new leaf and went from drunkard and wife beater to a man working for the benefit of others in his life.

In this episode, we discover why a rant over the village-wide public address system turned Ya-lun into an overnight internet sensation; what effect years of domestic violence has had on Ya-lun's children; and how, after years in a messy love triangle, Ya-lun's son is finally manning up and trying to build a proper home.

Host

Song Ya-lun: Having Matilda Tao here was a great honor. Regarding my son and my future daughter-in-law she gave a very positive energy. That goes for my daughter too.

Song Xiao-wei: Her coming today really surprised me. It's really her? A pleasant surprise. I was really happy to see her. We gave her a great welcome too.

Song Xiao-cheng: I've been inspired by the fact that feelings between two people need to be worked at and invested in. I shouldn't let her down. And she shouldn't let me down. We need to work together. Take a step back and then keep moving forward.

Ming-wu: During our private conversations today I learned a lot. A lot of sense about marriage, couples and interpersonal relationships in general. You need to put yourself in their shoes.

Guest

Matilda Tao:I'm very grateful. They prepared a sumptuous meal. I tried every dish on the table. But the conversations were a little serious so it was a hard to digest. Luckily, there was millet wine. I feel that by swapping positions with your partner and thinking of them you're less likely to do things that will make your partner worried or scared.
