Mr.Hong has been living in Hudi Community since he was small. Earth's Children interviewed Mr.Hong to understand Hudi community from local's perspective. We organized the interview into following main points.
- Hudi Community is very beautiful. What are some special part about the stone trails that we have passed?
- In the past, the trails in the community made of asphalt. They were very common. In addition, the trails made by asphalt will absorb heat during summer time. This raised the temperature and made our living environment very uncomfortable. Few years ago, the local government changed the asphalt trails into beautiful stonetrails. The trails even have some special patterns of flowers and animals. This help lower the overall air temperature in our neighboorhood. It also make the community more beautiful. Many tourists like to take pitures with our beautiful trials.

- What are some diffculty that Hudi Community is facing?
- Hudi community is in the Yangminshan mountain. It is very far away from downtown. Most of have my classmates moved to city beacasue their children need to go to schools in there. Eventhough people still come back and visit their parents, it is no longer the same. Recently, young people who stay in the community has been discussing how to attract people back to Hudi. There are two solutions. One is promote Hudi town as a tourist spot. The other is to promte Hushan Elementary School. Hushan Elementary School has beem famous for its nature education. Some parents are willing to move to Hudi town for their child. Children can grow up very happily at Hudi. The environment is very healthy and natural.
