1. Description of Our Community
Hemei Township is located in Changhua County. Its southeast is Changhua City, west is Xian-Xi Township, northwest is Shen-Gang Township, and northeast is the Dadu River. Across the Dadu river, there are Dadu and Long-Jing townships. Hemei Township is 6.0364 kilometers from east to west, and 9.0909 kilometers from north to south, with town area of 39.9345 square kilometers, ranking the tenth among townships of Changhua County. The ancient name of 'Ka Li Shan' was from Pingpu Aboriginal’s BABUZA language, meaning the place between warmness and coldness, mild climate, and beautiful environment. Hemei Township has not only a beautiful environment and good weather, but also famous and popular cuisines. There are many old restaurants passing down from many generations. We are going to introduce Guang Xiang Ju’s juicy meatballs, passing down from three generations. Let us taste the appetizing juicy meatballs.
2. Summary of Our Project
Let everyone know the juicy meatballs in Hemei 'Guang Xiang Ju' juicy meatballs are so famous, and I wanted to taste it for so long. Finally, I had a chance to eat the appetizing juicy meatballs. What made them even more special was that they had meat inside. I decided—I wanted to let everyone know this traditional cuisine. We decided to participate in the Cyberfair, and used the Internet to promoting the food. After we conducted a thorough investigation, we found that the cooking process was very time-consuming. The restaurant uses ground meat of pigs slaughtered within two hour as the basic material, plus special meatball 'stuffing', and then boils the meatballs in water to become a delicacy. Flavors are carefully selected, including onion, salty soy sauce, sugar, salt, and so on. As citizens of Hemei, we should explore our own town and food. With this project, we have a chance to introduce juicy meatballs to people.

4. Problems We Had To Overcome
We have overcome the issues: When we need the knowledge, we regret that we are lacking it! 1. With not enough computer skills, we were not able to present a perfect outcome. Need to keep studying! 2. Not enough records, and television footages were not easy to obtain. 3. Getting cool feet during interview, we did not express clearly. 4. Not easy to collate information. We spent too much time on site architecture development. 5. Needed to improve computer skills, including: web design, sound and video clips, image processing! 6. Division of team labor was not easy, so we used internet to discuss at home. 7. Heavy responsibility of being local ambassadors: We visited each class, and introduced juicy meatballs to students in our school. We were too shy to look at the audience, as if talking to the air. Because we did not have confidence, we talked to ourselves, and the audience could not hear us. Too rely on posters and documents, we ignored the audience. We did not memorize the content, so the reports lost focus.
5. Our Project Sound Bite
We were touched during interviews. Every industry has touching stories. When going into Guang Xiang Ju, we felt that everyone was serious about their work, with satisfied smiles on their faces, and they were not tired at all. Their sincerity is the reason of Guang Xiang Ju’s sustainable operation. We hope that in this event, we not only got to know meatball production methods and procedures, completed a web production, but also learned the founders’ spirit—not blaming others and not bowing to fate. Although they have physical disabilities, they work harder than others, and their spirit is worth learning. We would like to thank the staff of Guang Xiang Ju. Without sacrificing their valuable time, our interviews could not carry out smoothly. Thanks again. Hope that Guang Xiang Ju can be more widely known, and let everyone know about Hemei town.
