◎Surprises and Discoveries

　　 Most people do not know the nature, tradition and culture of their hometown. They do not know about the history, customs, and relics of their homeland. Therefore, after they grow up, they do not know repay their hometown. It is a pity that our education did not teach them about it.   

　　If people could learn from the local education to learn their hometown from childhood, when they grow up, they would respect their land. From this research project we learned a lot about Zhuwei Fishing Port which we thought we were familiar with. We found that there are so many people working so hard to make Zhuwei better, so everyone should know more about their own land and make the world better.
