In the book Pescadores, isole del vento e della sabbia by Father Antonio Crotti, a Catholic priest from Italy, had described Penghu as 'there are strong wind and sandy beaches and yet it's a place full of hopes as well.'

And in the book A Pilgrimage to Pescadores by the architect Fu-Yuan Lin, he uses his aesthetics, perspectives, and true feelings and experiences to write down the Penghu people's tenacity for life and the remarkable memory traces between humans and the ocean. Lin further mentions the touching stories that happened on the islands where a group of Catholic priests from Italy made their selfless devotion to the Pescadores in East Asia, the outlying islands of Taiwan.

Penghu is well-known for its unique natural basalt landscape. Seasonally, the northeast monsoon is part of daily life at Penghu Bay in the winter. Geographically, Penghu is located on the median line in the Taiwan Strait. People living on the Pescadores islands have the tenacity and are forthright in nature. From geography to culture, this is Penghu's DNA and its local customs and practices, a unique and exclusive charm showcasing people's toughness and feelings about life.

Even though Lin is not a Catholic, he feels deeply touched after witnessing a group of Camillian priests from Italy spends their life-long periods making selfless devotion to Penghu. Lin collects the outlying islands' stories and people's vicissitudes of life, plus the stories of those generous priests and medical professionals, to write the book that discloses how the brightest human nature becomes a link to people's memories and even part of history.
