The protagonist in the video Drummer No. 10 is a drummer, or shall we say, was a drummer.
Born in Zuoying, Kaohsiung, in southern Taiwan, to a working class background, our protagonist started learning the drums at a young age. He later earned a living as a musician in a dance hall orchestra, but then quit because he believed a career in music was unrealistic. That was twenty years ago. Today he is listed as a vagrant with Kaohsiung County, receives his meals from the Social Affairs Bureau, and lives in a shack made of discarded materials under the Renwu Interchange along National Highway No. 10.
