Description of Our Community: Our school, Gueishan junior high school, is located in Gueishan township. There are four military dependants' villages here. One village is famous because of the telenovela, and another is famous because of the exhibition center of military dependants' villages. The two villages are near our school. There is an important geography relation between our school and the villages. This is the reason we choose the two villages as our project topic.

Project Description: There are more than 800 military dependants' villages in Taiwan. It's a sad story because the reason the military dependants' villages exist is the war. In Gueishan township, there are 9 military dependants' villages. With the policy of demolishing villages, the number of these villages is decreasing. In Gueishan township, there are only four villages here now. There are a lot of memories in the military dependants' villages. However, with the time goes by, the residents in the villages pass away. The stories of the villages are gone with the wind. In order to keep the memories and stores of the military dependants' villages in Gueishan, we choose "Shing Guang 2nd village" and "Lu Guang 3rd village" as our project theme.
