After graduating from university, Sung-ting Chi drifts through a series of short-lived jobs.
Directionless, he’s unsure of what to do with his life. Then a recruitment advertisement for forest rangers catches his eye. Sung-ting takes the test, submits the application, and, almost before he knows it, finds himself sworn in as a newly appointed forest ranger.
Soon, the novice ranger plunges into the realities of the job: mountain rescues, wildfire control, and high-stakes battles against poaching. Gradually, the work begins to change him. Standing amid Taiwan’s lush, breathing forests, Sung-ting gradually understands what it means to protect the land.
A hopeful thought takes root: maybe this is the vocation he’s been searching for all along.
