Description of Our Community: Our school--Te-Long Elementary School is located at Longtan Township, Taoyuan County. If you take a bus from Longtan to Buxin, you will see "Sacred Deed Pavilion" on your left side. It is the largest and most well-designed respect words pavilion in Taiwan. Then you will pass an up-slope which is called "Lingyungang." It was called "Henggangzai" before. There is a flat basin between the up-slope and the nearby "Rugu Mountain." The basin is called "Henggangbei," where the literary author, Feng Hui-yue, lives. It is also the location of the elementary school. Compared with Taoyuan and Zhongli, this place is not highly urbanized yet, so people live simple and leisurable lives here. This basin is surrounded by mountains. The broad view, the fresh air, and the dense tea plantations make people feel carefree and joyous.

Project Description: Feng Hui-yue, a literary author of children's books, was the director of academic affairs at the elementary school and lived along Shengting Road near the school. Feng Hui-yue wrote lots of warm and interesting prose about his hometown-Henggangbei. His children's poems and songs were inspired by plants, insects, and birds in Henggangbei. In his works, "Henggangbei" embraced and nourished him like a tender mother. We are deeply interested in this literary author living at "Henggangbei"- How about his childhood and present life? Why does he decide to be a writer? How does Henggangbei attract and inspire this writer? Therefore, we explore the career of the "king of children at Henggangbei."
