The records (Chou-chi Tung, Cu-chi Cao Chronicals, 1951) say that there was a rapid fall in Takopueanu’s population with wars and plagues and at last only 85 people of seven families survived. Then it was ruled by Tapaytt and its descendents were raised by the Fang family of Tapaytt (Mr. Wen-ming Fang and Mr. Yang-ming Fang, the two cousins).
    The number of the Takopueanu’s people continued to decrease and there was only two families left till 1935. They moved to Shanmei and settled in Shanmei Village. Takopueanu had thereby vanished. (The grandfather of Mrs. Mei-si Lu is from one of the two families that moved to Shanmei)
