Description of Our Community: The Shiaying area is located at Chianan Plain , which is formed by the silting of river beds that became a lagoon. Therefore the soil condition is rich, and is a very important farming area. Besides the traditional rice, characteristical agriculture of silkworm breeding and edible tree fungus have also been developed. But due to the import of Mainland Chinese merchandise they have declined. For now, the development of agriculture and animal husbandry industry of Shiaying Area show a trend in diversity. Farmers Association besides aggressively promoting Black Bean Soy Sauce, silk, goose meat etc. characteristical industries, mushrooms, water chestnut, dairy, fish pond aquaculture etc. industries also have good productions.

Project Description: Mr. Chu Hsien-Chin, known as Papa Chu, is the owner of Hsien-Chin Glasses, and is at the same the long-term volunteer of Lifeline, CEO of Haicicuo Camp Literature and History Workshop, and is also the leader of the volunteer group of Shiaying Elementary School. He spares no efforts in local culture and educational affairs. Papa Chu suffered from Poliomyelitis since he was one years old, and under the assistance of the former First Lady Madame Chiang, went to Taipei for medical treatment. Even though the illness has not worsened, but his leg was crippled from then. But Papa Chu has not struck down, and holds gratitude for his good luck. When he grew up, he became a person who gives his blessings to others. He cared for the young students in their township, spread out their local culture. Maybe the experience of Papa Chu is not as great as some famous people on television shows, but he is beside us, and have always practiced voluntary work. He is a model that is near us, and one we can learn from. This project research is will be progressed by interviewing Papa Chu in near distance. Besides understanding how he progresses in adverse conditions, and how turns his gratitude to a greater love; what is most important, is that we hope to build the concept of feedback, benefit, and great love from understanding the experience of Papa Chu.
