It is hard to believe that one person can change the fate of an entire village. 86-year-old war veteran Huang Yung-fu did just that.
Huang lives in a village in Taiwan that has been suffering from the same problems as most villages in recent years: abandonment and house demolition.
However today none of these problems are not visible in the settlement thanks to Huang's colorful paintings.
The walls in almost every building in the village and the streets are covered with simple paintings by Huang depicting plants, animals, birds and TV personalities.
Considering the fact that he started painting two years ago, his achievement is quite large and commendable. The settlement is now a tourist attraction in Taiwan and appears in local tourist guides as a "place worth visiting".
