本計畫基於長期的台灣淺山森林史的研究，所提出的新行動構想，跨越不同區域、不同層次的空間與歷史層，進行的一場長途行走的創作行動。「龜轉豹小徑」的命名，取自於樹林龜崙嶺的「匪樹林三角埔隱蔽基地叛亂案」，到三峽「大豹社事件」山區，橫跨了兩個殖民政權的事件地。從兩者之間各取一字，創造一條既現實又虛構的路線。空間上，「龜轉豹小徑」穿越了戰後台灣郊山白恐場域，以及日殖時期的山林隘勇線，連動著漢裔與原住民的創傷史。
本計畫預計混合路上觀察、台詞創作、閱讀會以及錄像拍攝等方式，公開徵選十位參與者，一起進行這場長途的「混血行動」。期間並組織讀書會，涵蓋範圍有「匪樹林三角埔隱蔽基地叛亂案」、「泰雅族大豹社事件」相關案件探討，並延伸出對於馬共、胡志明小徑等的文學或文化探討。期間，與對話每一位參與者都是歷史與空間的自主研究、自由詮釋、自行創造的主體，期間相關的創作，將整合入本計畫中。
第一段路：龜崙線
此路線為較少為人知悉的「匪樹林三角埔隱蔽基地叛亂案」，發生於1950年代的新北市樹林的淺山地帶。此次活動，預計以行走的方式，搭配研究樹林白色恐怖的文史老師，一同穿越今昔的諸多場景。
第二段路：大豹線
此路線為 1903~1907年三峽泰雅族大豹社事件隘勇線。亦為藝術家近幾年的研究主題。預計將走踏三峽幾條日殖時期隘勇線遺址，最後將翻過新北市、桃園界山，拜訪復興區霞雲里，一批文獻記載「滅社」以後的大豹社遺族。
T.L.T reveals a new action plan, comprising of a long-distance hike and creative action, based on the long-term study of Taiwan’s low-elevation forest history, which includes different areas and levels of spatial and historical layers. The naming of T.L.T links Shulin’s Gueilun Mountain, where the Sanchiaopu Rebellion took place, to Sanxia’s mountains, the site of the Dabaoshe Incident, connecting two incidents taking place separately during two colonial regimes. The title of T.L.T is inspired by the turtle (龜; guei) and the leopard (豹; bao) in the names of the two areas, forming a seemingly realistic but actually fictional route. In terms of space, T.L.T traverses the sites of post-war White Terror in Taiwan’s rural mountains as well as the defense lines of frontier guards during the period of Japanese rule, reminding the audience of the traumatic history involving the Han and indigenous peoples.
T.L.T mixes trail observation, dialogue creation, book reading and video-filming. Ten participants are selected through an open call to conduct a long-distance “hybridizing action.” During the journey, book readings are organized, covering topics related to the Sanchiaopu Rebellion and the Atayal Dabaoshe Incident; and the exploration of these topics is also extended to the literary or cultural discussion about the Malayan Communist Party and the Hồ Chí Minh trail. In these discussions, all participants carry out their independent research, interpretation and creation about the history and space, and all the created works and materials will be incorporated into this project.
Turtle ←→ Leopard Trail (T.L.T)
The 1st Section: Gueilun Route
This route takes participants to the site of the lesser known Sanchiaopu Rebellion, which covers low-elevation mountains in Shulin District in today’s New Taipei City. The program involves a hiking trip through various historical and cultural locations, and is accompanied by a culture and history researcher specializing in the history of White Terror in Shulin.
The 2nd Section: Dabao Route
This route revisits the defense lines of frontier guards involved in Sanxia’s Atayal Dabaoshe Incident from 1903 to 1907, which has been the artist’s research topic in recent years. The hiking trip takes the participants to several historic sites of the defense lines in Sanxia during the period of Japanese rule before eventually crossing the mountains between New Taipei City and Taoyuan and arriving at Fuxing District’s Xiayun Neighborhood, where the remaining Dabaoshe descendants have settled down according to literature.

本計劃以個人2016年所出版的《小說：臺籍日本兵張正光與我》一書為藍本，以場景重構以及類紀錄片的影像創作的方式，追溯張正光的相關事蹟，以及作者個人與張正光、小說中的諸多場景之間的關係。
《小說：臺籍日本兵張正光與我》一書，來自於個人與書中的主角，居住在宜蘭海邊的前神風特攻隊學徒兵，張正光先生(已逝) 的遭遇過程。書中以寫實、杜纂兼具的方式 觸及了張先生的一生，包含二戰時期的參戰經歷，戰後遭到白色恐怖，逃亡香港，乃至於戒嚴前偷渡回臺，後來成為五結鄉季新村的斑節蝦大王的過程。此外，書中也以併照的方式，回溯個人的成長史，作為昔、今國家體制下的生命政治經驗之比對。
作品的場景涉及了臺灣與東亞，本次《重返小說》之計畫，主要選擇以臺灣的場景為主，從個人與張光各自的生命軸線來發展。其中，除了宜蘭縣五結鄉季新村，以及 附近的三水海岸空間以外，另外也涉及個人在臺北博愛市場、臺東大武鄉等地的成長記憶。
This project takes my book, Novel in the Name of Cheng-Kung Chang (published in 2016) as the blueprint to trace the chronicle of Cheng-Kung Chang as well as the relations amongst the author/ artist, Chang, and the multiple scenes in the novel through a creative visual approach that reconstructs the scenes in a style resembling a documentary film.
Novel in the Name of Cheng-Kung Chang is based on the encounter of the protagonist of the book with me. It depicts the life of the late Mr. Cheng Kunug Chang, who was a former Kamikaze military trainee lived by the sea in Yilan, Taiwan. The book encompasses both non-fictional and fictional elements to illustrate Chang's life. Chang had fought in World War II and became a victim of White Terror after the war. He then fled to Hong Kong but sneaked back to Taiwan before the martial law was lifted. Chang later became a prawn-farming tycoon in Jisin Village of Wujie Township in Yilan County. The book details the life experiences of Chang. By juxtaposing my own personal history, it also presents a contrast between the life politics in the past and the present set against a backdrop of state institutions of Taiwan.
The book takes place in Taiwan and other parts of East Asia. The present project, Estuary: Return to the Novel, is mainly set in Taiwan, as it unfolds based on the life courses of Chang and myself. In addition to Jisin Village of Wujie Township in Yilan County and three other locations close to the coastline in Yilan, the project also incorporates my own formative memories from the Boai Market in Taipei, Dawu Township in Taitung, and other places. Regarding to the notion of “return'.
