I try to narrate the life stories of three mainlanders living in Chyr-Shan Plain, Eastern Taiwan, for understanding their identity of place. For this purpose, I interpret the state control, personal encounter in three stories' context; and then, I find that they are out of place. Tramping in Eastern Taiwan with speechless sorrow, they are absent of mind although they dwelled in Chyr-Shan Plain for a long time.
