2. Summary of Our Project
Based on the Shehuo in our hometown, this activity could firstly train our affection on our own hometown. In our knowledge, we thought there were only mountains in the hometown, without anything else that could be proud of. However, this activity proved that we were wrong, for we learnt that there were so many “wealth” in our hometown. On the other hand, this activity brought us powerful shock that the excellent folk culture was extinguishing day by day, and the young generation of us learnt less and less about the traditional culture. Therefore, to pass on the folk culture is our unshakable responsibility.

E. Additional comments concerning your computer and/or Internet access (Optional):
We once thought we were quite excellent in school. It was this activity that I realized that there were so many others things I need to study, for encountering the problems, such as ineffective communication with people, felt lost when we were in trouble in the interviews, regret on the failure to take the satisfactory photos, many problems on the computer and inadequate knowledge on the surrounding things. Thus we will take this activity as a starting point to comprehensively improve ourselves.
4. Problems We Had To Overcome
(1) Inadequate cognition. (2) Not enough sincerity. (3) There were few experienced old people. (4) The time was too tight. (5) The information we got were quite little.
