In this book, an alternative guide to the Taipei metropolitan is presented. Through 52 unorthodox tourist spots, the authors arrange a tour composed by conflicts and campaigns. The rebellious souls lurking in the urban landscape and the urbanity which is anomalous, peripheral, and insurgent are hence unveiled. Based on historical materials, journalism, diaries of the campaigns, and academic researches, stories commencing from more than 100 years ago are extracted from the 52 spots.

In every large city, the homeless are a group of people who are often ignored by the average city dwellers. Many people would simply pass by and seldom spend time talking to them while trying to understand their world. No one cares about where they came from, or where their destinations will be in their walk of life.
The poetry interlaces with short poems and black-and-white photos, slowly and quietly depicting various frictions between people in today’s society and taking us to experience the most subtle and precious human emotions.
