Auvini Kadresengan is a member of the Rukai people, one of Taiwan's Indigenous groups. Born in Kucapungane Village, he was given the Chinese name "Chiu Chin-shih (邱金士)." His father, a priest and hunter, raised him with the intention of becoming a priest, deeply immersing him in Rukai culture and spiritual beliefs.
In 2019, the Qubing (Qais) Archaeological Site in Nantou County was named by the Ministry of Culture as Taiwan's 10th national archaeological site. Located in an alpine river valley nearly 1,000 meters above sea level, the site was the first prehistoric mountain settlement found in Taiwan.
