Description of Our Community: Our community, Wen-Long, being located at Taipei County in Taiwan .Wen-Long was an excellent graveyard filled with the spiritual influence that could bless the posterity of resident to be a new ruler. But in Manchu dynasty, Emperor Guangxu built the railroad to destroy the spiritual influence and divided Wen-Long into three administrative areas. From now on, Wen-Long became an area that nobody wanted to be responsible for. There are factories everywhere at Wen-Long, eighty percent of the resident is out-comer. Not knowing the history of this area, they do not pay attention to safeguard and cherish the environment. Therefore, Wen-Long has lost her elegant appearance at present. But a lot of the resident still fell hopeful about the future of our community; they are pleasure to devoting himself to make the area beautiful and glory again!
