Abstract
This article draws on the film Ten Years Taiwan (2018) to identify three side-lined yet pressing issues that contemporary Taiwanese society has to address: the dilemma of multiculturalism, the preservation of traditions, and the status of historical memory. Unlike Hong Kong's Ten Years (2015), which focuses on political and cultural tensions between China and Hong Kong, Ten Years Taiwan emphasises the everyday experiences of different groups of people in Taiwan, such as aborigines, migrant workers, and those living in the countryside. Through the lived experiences of these populations, while indirectly addressing related political problems, Ten Years Taiwan challenges its audiences to reconceptualise the meaning of a "Taiwanese" society, prompting questions on how Taiwan as a society should proceed.
