    This experimental music video is based on a poem that both satirizes and celebrates Taiwanese local culture. The title is a play on the Buddhist phrase “Hail the Bodhisattva Guanyin, the Goddess of Mercy.” The poem refers to junk vendors who look for unwanted household items, scrapping metal and electronics.
