Talk:Jiufen

was City of Sadness really a big hit in Taiwan??

I doubt it.......it was on general release perhaps but i'd like to see some box office figures to back up the big hit claim.

also can we change the title to Jiufen..........Jioufen is a lesser used spelling


 * I've seen the town named Jioufen, Chiufen, and Jiufen...and all three are equally used (depending on where you are). Since the locals are just as inconsistent in naming themselves in English (or just don't), I don't feel so complied to move it. So let's just stick with whatever's on originally, please? Also, the film might not be a big hit, but it was memorable enough to make people flock to Jiufen...Chiufen...Jioufen......*explodes* _dk 11:12, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

say no more on the problems of consistency in local spellings...my rule of thumb is to google diff. spellings in which case jiufen wins......but thats just my personal rot.....plus if in doubt i go for the closest to international standard spelling ie jiufen.....

there's another important movie (duo-san?) by an accolyte of Hou hsiao-hsien....i might add it in

Supplemented the article with references that provide more information about Jiufen's distinctive cultural features
Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I recently visited Jiufen and was struck by its many distinctive cultural features. I would like to add my own blogger articles as references to the Wikipedia article on Jiufen, not to promote my own work, but to offer visitors a different perspective on Jiufen.
