Description

Fifty-nine-year-old Chen Chih-Ming retired five years ago from his position as a court bailiff at the Taiwan High Court Prosecutors' Office. Over his 30-year and 9-month career, his most unique experience was participating in over 100 executions, personally carrying out more than 30. Nearly all of his colleagues retired before the age of 55, some turning to vegetarianism and others left with lingering psychological shadows. Since retiring, Chen has found solace in music, actively joining a choir to find peace.
