1. Description of Our Community

With the construction of the Nan Heng Road, the build of the Zeng Wen Reservoir, and the opening of the Zou Ma Lai Farm, the mountain areas of Yujing are gradually developed and opened. Yujing has became an important center of the widening addition of the Tai 20 Line and the open of Tai 84 Western Express Road. Unimaginably, in Aug 1915, the anti-Japan volunteer group led by Yu, Qing-Fang, occupied the Hu Tou Mountain, bitterly attacking the Jiau Ba Nian Japanese police squad and the second defense squad. This is the Jiau Ba Nian Event, Shocking the whole island. People born at Yujing, can feel how their ancestry loved Taiwan when fighting against the Japanese, and should try all means to develop the local specialty industry well.

4. Problems We Had To Overcome
The reason why junior high school students were hard to understand it when we introduced mango specialty is that they are unfamiliar about mango ecology and the procedure of the production even though these wonderful things can be seen everywhere throughout their hometown. Hence, the guide teacher took us to outside to make an interview and a report; the problem was there were no mangos for us to photograph and taste after harvested in July and August. What should we do now? Luckily, some data could be found in the mango information center, and the mango there were made like real ones. On top of it, because Mr. Guo offered some photos, the problems were solved.

The mango brings the happy life for the hometown children, the GlobalSchoolNet builds a communication bridge to the world for our students.
