A village in Pingtung County held its own national day celebrations in their community of 100 people. The Republic of China marked its 107th birthday on October 10.

There were only five players in the band that started off the national day parade in Wenle Village in Pingtung County. But that was good enough for everyone there. The drummers led a procession of young and old holding flags as they walked down the main street.

A young girl took her pink scooter on the road while grandfathers and grandmothers rode their electric scooters or wheelchairs. While some walked, others took to the street with vehicles they could ride in. Everybody just wanted to be part of the fun.

Senior citizens make up most of the population in the village, so the village chief held the parade to give them an excuse to get out of the house. While there were no floats or performances, every Wenle resident enjoyed the chance to come together.
