In an era of information explosion, the half-life of news is getting shorter and shorter. Social cases that shocked the entire Taiwan yesterday are often quietly buried in today’s algorithms. When the heat fades, where exactly do those unsolved cold cases, broken justice, and the “aftermath” that has not yet arrived go?
To fight against collective forgetting, the TAIWAN NEXT team officially launches a new project—“The N-Events”.
📌 What is “N-Events”?
N-Events is a social documentary record that deeply integrates “timeline” and “event tracking”.
Its naming originates from the quest for the “Unknown” and the commitment to the “Next” step. We turn our eyes to those microfilms buried in archives, flipping through, recording, and continuously updating them page by page. From the historical mysteries of the Japanese occupation era to the major crimes and accidents of modern society, every record is an “N” that should not be forgotten.
🎞️ Shuttling as if in a Library of Time: Three Core Highlights of the Project
1. Deep Coordinates Spanning Eras
“N-Events” doesn’t just record the present; it has the thickness of time.
Our database spans over a hundred years from the Japanese occupation era to the present, and even from prehistoric times to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. Through systematic organization, you can see social scars and legal evolution in different eras, making history no longer scattered fragments but contexts that can be cross-referenced.
2. Suspense Movie-like “Microfilm” Experience
We refuse long, stacked walls of text.
In the “N-Events” section, every event is presented as a “File Number” and “Documentary Card”. We simulate the viewing experience of library microfilm, so that when you scroll through the webpage, it’s like turning a machine in a dim archive room, personally uncovering the veiled truth.
3. Never-stopping “Truth Tracking”
This is the most valuable function of “N-Events”. Unlike traditional news, we tag every event with a status:
🔴 [ Cold Case / Unsolved ]: Keep the warning light on to remind society that justice has not yet arrived.
🟡 [ Processing / Under Trial ]: Track the subsequent progress, refusing to let the event have “no follow-up”.
🔵 [ Closed Case / Settled ]: Store the historical final judgment for the record.
⚖️ Why does Taiwan need “N-Events”?
A healthy society must have the ability to gaze into its own shadow.
The existence of “N-Events” is to ensure that victims are more than just numbers, and evil acts are more than just transitions. It is an index for researchers, a memorandum for citizens, and a “recap” written for the future. Only when we have clearly recorded the “preface” can we write a clearer “sequel” in the vision of TAIWAN NEXT.
