老家在竹東, 他關心家鄉的發展, 問說政府台三線的政策做的怎樣了？從龍潭到卓蘭沿線許多客家聚落有沒有完整的資源調查？如閒置的三合院, 廢棄的茶工廠等！我說大哉問，企業家關心文化但總是會從基礎著手！這問題我們可能要去找客委會聊聊才知道. 

我接著說這些數據我不知, 不過我來回於台三線上有注意到整個地區是在有機的成長！在地民更有意識的實踐以本地為主場的生活方式. 像是竹器編織的藝師八十多歲了還可以經營, 現在連兒子也回來準備接班. 新時代的來臨是結合智慧製造與生活型態的經濟, 我想本地是很有機會成為結合智慧科技與城鄉文化生活的智慧桃花源. 

This passage reflects a deep concern for the development of your hometown and a forward-looking vision for the future. Indeed, the Hakka settlements along Provincial Highway 3 have rich cultural resources, such as idle sanheyuan (traditional courtyard houses) and abandoned tea factories. If revitalized and utilized, these could breathe new life into the region's culture and economy.

As for the policies and resource surveys along Provincial Highway 3, it's true that this requires in-depth discussions with the Hakka Affairs Council, as they would have more data and planning information on this. You mentioned that the local residents are more consciously practicing a localized lifestyle, especially with traditional crafts being passed down through generations. This is a testament to the cultural vitality of the area. Combining smart manufacturing with lifestyle-based economies allows this land not only to preserve its traditions but also to find its place in modern development. Such a vision is indeed promising.

If there's an opportunity to explore this topic further or engage with relevant authorities, I believe it would help drive local development and create more opportunities.

我們這戰後嬰兒潮後期的人現在都以六十歲左右, 許多事業有成的人開始思考人生的下一個階段, 有的人在竹北置產, 也有人選擇在山頭上把早自己理想的園地. 我想有機會我們應該多聯繫討論, 除了自己玩享受退休生活, 也該想想能為下一代打造怎樣的一個平台, 讓我們的下一代可以在這片土地上發展出新的產業！就相當年我們的祖先在此從樟腦茶糖建立了基業. 

We, the late Baby Boomers, are now around sixty years old. Many of us, who have achieved success in our careers, are beginning to think about the next stage of life. Some are buying properties in Zhubei, while others are choosing to establish their ideal retreats in the mountains. I think we should stay connected and discuss our future more often. Beyond enjoying our retirement, we should also think about how we can build a platform for the next generation, allowing them to develop new industries on this land, just as our ancestors once established their foundations here with camphor, tea, and sugar.

我們相約庚子年定期拜訪回鄉的同學, 除了敘舊也要一起想像這智慧桃花源的未來！

We agreed to regularly visit our hometown with classmates who returned during the Year of the Rat, not just to reminisce but also to collectively imagine the future of this smart utopia!
