Description of Our Community: Daxi Township is in Taoyuan County, northern Taiwan. The total area is 105.1206km2; it’s the second biggest town of Taoyuan. In the past, Daxi was prosperous due to its inland port. Now it’s a popular tourism destination for the scenery and special food and produce. The name, Daxi, its geographical environment and development are all related to water. Great mountains and water make Daxi beautiful, prosperous and rich in culture.

Project Description: Fong Feifei, a prominent Taiwanese pop singer, died of lung cancer in on January 3rd, 2012. She is no longer with us, but the spirit she stands for remains. After we decided to pick her as our project subject, we were intrigued in such a great role model. How could a country girl from Daxi become a superstar? She’d been in the showbiz for more than 40 years, and her fans’ love for her are constant. Since the 70’s, she sang, hosed and acted. Her performance was extraordinary, and got a nickname the “Queen of Hats”. In order to pass down her spirit, and let new generation know the local voice, we pick this subject, and hope we can contribute to local culture preservation and promotion with a study purpose of application and comprehension.
