78-year-old Lin, living alone in Taichung, had over 30 deities in his home, prompting a folk expert to assist in 'retiring' the gods before he moved to a nursing home due to age-related health issues. After a ceremony where a cup was thrown to indicate approval for the 'retirement', the deities were either sent to temples for worship or burnt, showing a growing trend as elderly individuals relocate, requiring arrangements for their previously worshiped deities and ancestors.
