But coming this time, we knew that the old stage would not be there for us to see, because the temple's committee had decided last July to tear it down on the grounds that it was too small. While there were many loud calls for preservation, the old stage couldn't escape the fate of removal, and today it sits abandoned in a warehouse made of metal sheeting behind the temple.
不過這次來，已經知道老戲台芳蹤不再，因為去年七月間廟方管理委員會以戲台大小為由，執意拆除擴建，各地聲援保留的聲浪雖大，終究挽不回老戲台被拆的命運，如今被孤零零地鎖在廟後方的鐵皮倉庫裡。
