In the 1970s, residents began moving to Taiwan and the county government moved to Chiehshou Village, leaving 40 or 50 houses in such a state. Not only were they eyesores, but they gave the entire village a bleak, run-down atmosphere.
劉羽茵解釋，從民國 60 年代村民移居台灣，以及縣政府搬去介壽村後，二、三十年來傾頹舊屋累計達四、五十間，不但有礙觀瞻，整個村的破敗荒涼氣氛更令人不舒服。
