Description of Our Community: Kaohsiung is the second major city of Taiwan, which is located in south of Taiwan, and is famous by the steel industry. Our local leader Liu Ting-Tsuan built up his own slogan- Hualien Stones, Miaoli Woods, Taipei Potters, and Kaohsiung Steels. People in Taiwan know that stone carving is famous in Hualien; and wood carving is famous in Miaoli. As Liu Ting-Tsuan thought, steel can be considered a local symbol of Kaohsiung. He chooses steels to be his material and then combines his creation and imagination to create lifelike and wonderful works which can be used as the symbol of Kaohsiung Taiwan.

Project Description: Liu Ting-Tsuan is an artist who only has Junior High School diploma. He uses steel as material to construct his love and passion for Kaohsiung, the city he grew up in. He uses his hands to make the ice-cold steel into a work of art, and bring steel new forms of life. Our project is to introduce Liu Ting-Tsuan and his works to the people all over the world. He is not only the honor of our city -- Kaohsiung, but also the honor of Taiwan.
