Description of Our Community: People now are used to living in the hubbub of the city life, while there are some people still living in the Xanadu. The military dependent village is not only the name to the village. In the village, there are still simple and innocent.

Most things in Taiwan have been changed and lost for years. However the village is still the original. In additional, we know there is something important we must to told everyone.

The task which we carry out is to make everybody remind the military dependents village, the origin society. After getting into the village, we found that though the surface is cold and old, in fact, there are still teeming with life and they are still waiting for a better future.

Project Description: Here is Kaohsiung which a primitive village is located in, its name is “Zuoying”.In Zuoying,we found an extolled-worthy place named military dependents village. Since the war in 1949, many people crossed Taiwan Strait and came to Taiwan, some people were generals,some were soldier,and the others were single youngers, however the tasks they faced were the same ones. They all needed to adapt the new life, to deal with the problems between them and local Taiwanese, and to earn enough food for their life.

Due to the war, the homeland they could not go back to and the heart broken were the things hidden in there deep heart. For years, most people have already forgot the story then,while they still remember the past clearly.

At that time, there were not only built up the village, but also contact other people who were also came from China. The problems of today is the village is about to be demolished, and the next step they were force to get is changing village into the public housings.

Few years ago, there were some people with some brushes, they painted the village, they gave the village the new color, and they made the village alive.

Now we see the totally new village, and the different kinds of beauty to Zuoying.
