The more fish they harvested, the poorer their families became as the price declined. Hence, some Penghuans were forced to be seasonal fishers, oscillating back and forth between Kaohsiung and Penghu every year, while others migrated directly to Kaohsiung. The first wave of Penghuan migrants came mainly from Cimei. They began their migration during the colonial period and in general preferred to settle in Cihou rather than Gushan. en 2017 Brian R.
