Every place has a story.
ODE to Yangang exists to listen to it.

ODE to Yangang is a writing series created by the people of Yangang themselves. It is a quiet exchange—between land and lived experience, between slow mornings and distant dreams. The series brings together voices shaped by stillness, strong roots, and a way of life that moves gently, yet with purpose.

Yangang has long been known for its calm rhythm. But ODE to Yangang looks beyond what is seen. It listens closely to what is felt. It gathers stories formed in silence—of days that begin without urgency, of values passed down without instruction, of dreams that grow patiently alongside the hills. Each voice carries its own truth, yet all remain bound by the same soil, seasons, and sense of belonging.

Each edition of ODE to Yangang opens a space for a voice to be heard.
