Description of Our Community: Our school is located by the end of the Wo-Long Street in Da An District. With the heavy traffic, there are some near thirty funeral-related business especially gathered along the street. Besides the Second Mortuary House, there are also tombs and Columbarium on the nearby hillside. These form the "funeral street block" with features. Due to the operations of the stores all related to the dead, residents not only consider these stores are unlucky, but also bring unrest and fear to them. In addition, running business in the residential area also affects the living quality of the community, even contributes as the main cause to the decrease of the housing price. Finally, prior to the resolution of the issue, we wish both the operators to more listen to the voice of residents and to bear the self-disciplines, and the government to face and to negotiate in assisting the disputes between operators and residents to create win-win situation.
Project Description: Life cycle is a must-through process. Although we seem far from death, but we know clearly that we fear for death of our lives and the close people around us. After death, what could we bring--money, mansion, fame? None. The only thing we may bring to the next life is "assert oneself and live the value." When we on the death bed, we should learn how to face death, and care for the relatives facing the death, relieve their pains and let them feel warmth. During the study, we may feel the true inner sadness, and see the real emotions of life at many times. Should we understood the meaning of life, we shall not be afraid of speaking of death. Rather, we face to death and think about how to cherish the whole thing around us as well as each moment.
