Hexing Station (Love Station)
#Register for March Hotel Test Sleeper 2025
Also known as (Love Station) This is a real station, a station on the Neiwan Branch Line.
In 1958, Zeng Chunzhao, a freshman at Hsinchu High School, met Peng Zhihui, a girl from a neighboring school who ranked first in her grade, on the train.
In 1960, on the day of the third monthly exam of the last semester, Zeng Chunzhao accidentally overslept. When he arrived at Hexing Station, the train had just left. He thought that if he missed the exam, he might be held back, which might affect his friendship with the girl. So he chased the train along the tracks for 2.1 kilometers and finally caught up with the train at Jiuzantou Station.
Later, this relationship finally blossomed and bore fruit, and a few years later, the two got married.
When Zeng Chunzhao and his wife learned that Hexing Station was facing the fate of being abandoned, they adopted the station and sponsored the funds for its restoration. Finally, the old station was preserved. The walls of Hexing Station are covered with reports about this love story, including Zeng Chunzhao's own account, a note from the Hsinchu County magistrate, and clippings of related news. The content is warm and touching. Therefore, this station was nicknamed "Love Railway Station" by the Taiwan Railways and the media.
