Description of Our Community: Hsu Sheng-Ming, the coach of EDA- RHION, pass away on August, 2013. People feel sad about that. He left many memorable relics and donated them to Mino Sports Hall. However, Mino Sports Hall was shutdown on September, and the relics are taken over by Kaohsiung Hakka Affairs temporarily. There is a team from Ling Jhou Primary school made up by students and teachers who have strong passion on baseball. They hoped to introduce Hsu Sheng-Ming coach, Kaohsiung local leader figure, by collecting historical data, interviews, field experience and other activities. On the first hand, we commemorate for his achievements. On the other hand, we put his preserved relics on the Internet. We will use the researches we collected to make a website, “Knuckleball Coach-Hsu Sheng-Ming Coach ” and attend the competition of “Local leaders figure, 2014 Taiwan School Cyberfair ”.
