Hui-hui discusses an Amis tribal community located in marginal area of a metropolis about a local ethics in encountering with external visitors based on the influence of pandemic virus. Cheng-hsien also expresses his interests to daily life of the Tao in Orchid Island. He finds that the whole of island becomes more museumized due to the revenge tour occurred when the Covid-19 gradually lost its threat. And Chih-hsing in his work on Taitung, a county defined as a place with high-percentage indigenes population, on the development of unusual pattern of tourism which emphasizes this remote region as home with full indigenous elements that never existed in the past when. Shih-chung contends that a xenophobia among the Han-Taiwanese/Chinese to the non-Han peoples has been historically cultivated in the deep mind. His evidences are on the basis of seeing none from Han urbanites to attend famous annual harvest festival of the Amis People in east Taiwan. A serious disease may cause cultural change and these five cases exactly tell relevant stories.
