Taiwan - Keelung - Pudu

Pudu (Universal Salvation), Keelung City, Taiwan.
> Company Pudu Pudu hosted by Hu Shu Fen and her team of Daqing Stock Trading company. Once all offerings are arranged, the colleagues line up for prayers led by CEO Kevin, completed by the characteristic bowing. To lure the spirits, joss sticks are neatly marking each dish, cigarettes and even the washbasin. So, food first, cash later. I’m fascinated by the fact that a company whose primary goal is to profit off short-term gains from stock price fluctuations (online), is burning a great deal of spiritual money (offline) to back its economical fortune with otherworldly goodwill. It’s like the flickering flames in Daqing’s backyard are devouring several time zones, dimensions, currencies, and virtues in one go. The whole burning procedure lasts for half an hour or so until all the paranormal cash has exhausted, and if the Chinese saying "the higher the fire, the more hungry souls are around" was true, then we’re now enveloped by hundreds of pushing and shoving vagabond spirits catching their due paycheck from eleven months. You may recall the last scene of the movie Pitch Black when Vin Diesel is surrounded by creatures making sure not to astray the light, that’s how it probably looks like here if you’d merge both worlds. The company has increased its profit for 5 years in a row.
