He gave up his retirement salary and transferred to a civil aviation engine and moved to Taitung to "retirement": If you look back at your life, you will know when to come out again.

Wang Chaofan, the owner of Taitung Host Bird Flying Bed and Breakfast, has a special identity: a flying operator. In order to prepare for a retirement life, in 2005, he resolutely gave up a high salary and went to the small civil aviation aircraft in Taitung Flying Lantern and Green Island. He bought a beautiful house, dreamed of beautiful houses, and built two rooms and homestays. Unexpectedly, his wife Shi Shaoqi's homestay dream became bigger and bigger, and he built three cabins. The two of them lived a busy semi-retirement life in Taitung.

Wang Chaofan was admitted to the air force flight officer at the age of 16. He was trained by professional fighter trainers and flew in the sky. He always felt unsteady. "My father came to Taiwan from mainland China. When he was a child, he went to his classmates from the province to play. When he saw the Sanheyuan where they lived, he admired them for their land, houses, and the rich and human touch of the country."

The dreams in my heart grow slowly as I grow older. After he was 40 years old, he bought more than 800 square meters of land in Zhudong. "If I plan to retire at 60, I have to start preparing for it at the age of 45 to have a perfect retirement life." His thinking is very friendly, planning and making preparations for everything in advance.

He did not get his final salary. He was 38 years old and moved to a civil aviation engine. He stayed in the army for 14 years and then 20 years in another six years. He was able to get his final retirement salary. He encountered the hot wave of Taiwan's tourism. There was a strong demand for civil aviation engines, so he decided to leave. He said: "You can get promoted after three years of being out, get a high salary of a boss, and your job is a joy, it depends on what you want?"

38 years old and moved to the civil aviation company and flew internationally for several years. Although he was passionate about flying, he still longed to prepare for his retirement life early. "In the military performance, there are gatherings, sings, and re-launching. You have to look back from time to time in life before you know when to gather, sings, and re-launching."

"If the present no longer exists, we must re-order the plan." At the age of 48, he made a major decision: to fly domestic lines. Even though the salary is reduced by half, you can only earn more time for yourself.

I moved to Taitung in 2007 and began to retire in advance. The whole family moved to Taitung from Taipei. "I can fly around, help me with my original life, have a good income, and have time to do what I like." This matter is related to his visit to Japan in 2005. At that time, "advanced retirement" was popular in Japan.

So, I sold the land in Zhudong, and moved to Taiwan in 2007 to buy a 1,400-square-meter land in Beinan Township, and began to design my ideal home. "I used to live in a house that I didn't like." He usually had the habit of reading design and architecture books. "I used to study and travel in the United States, and I like the sturdy houses in the American country."

He designed the house into an American wooden house, living on the first floor, with a kitchen, a living room and a room. The second floor has two rooms, a four-person room and a two-person room as a homestay. He wanted to run a five-day coffee shop that only opens holidays. He emphasized: "I am here to retire and I have to travel around the mountains and rivers with my wife on weekdays."

After Shi Shaoqi, who had opened a restaurant, came to Taitung, and looked at houses and made coffee shops in the streets and alleys. After the wooden house was settled, a friend who was a homestay in Hualien came to visit and asked her why she didn’t put a few cabins and homestays next to her. "After retirement, she doesn’t need to stare at her husband. She has guests and has income." She accepted this proposal and built three more cabins in 2010. The design was also designed by Wang Chaofan, so she asked a contractor to build it.

B&B is a laborious job, and Shi Shaoqi is in good faith in everything. The guests came and to provide a delicious breakfast, they learned from a Japanese how to make Japanese bulb bread. She was very personal, kept striving for excellence, constantly adjusting and modifying the recipes, and making the bulb bread the best in Taiwan. Many customers were very surprised after eating, and shouted that they wanted home delivery and started a home delivery business smoothly.

The wife has a very good hand-made art, and she has a very good breakfast. The breakfast is delicious and famous. In addition, the homestay has a lush flower and grass, and the garden has a garden. The scenery of the garden attracts many locals to come and have breakfast. When the homestay is not busy, she accepts group reservations; if someone wants to have afternoon tea, she will also receive it. In order to let customers eat the desserts she made at her own hands, she learned art from her desserts and fellow desserts from France who brought back to Taitung from France to learn blue. She learned several exquisite French desserts.

"Some people say that my handicraft will be more famous than a homestay in the future." Shi Shaoqi said with a smile.

She also took care of the cleaning room, from sweeping to cleaning the bed. She admitted: "I love cleanliness very much. I don't know if others are washing it dry, so I have to wash it myself." She said that her personality is very busy, "My friend laughs at me as Xin." Her husband often can't stand it and reminded her: "We are here to retire and live, not to survive."

After retirement next year, we look forward to having 3-5 stages

In April next year, Wang Chaofan will be over 65 years old. According to the law, he cannot fly anymore and must retire. He said that in recent years, the focus of life has slowly shifted to the homestay. "I have seventy-fourths of my energy here. I will grow flowers, take care of fruit trees, and mow grass when I don't go to work. I often feel that I don't have enough time to use it.. ”

"After retirement, I will be here with all my heart." However, he was worried that he would fall into the bed and sit on the bed and ask himself: "What should I do to wake up this morning?", "At our age, we must start a busy day in the morning." After retirement, he will look for new self-affirmation.

"In the future, I will have a space to save myself, and at the same time set up 3-5 stages and play the right role. This is a wonderful life." Shi Shaoqi continued to accompany her husband and run a homestay. After all, she had to do a lot of things to do, and she was not allowed to do for a moment.
