1. Inviting interviewees to join this project
For every visit, we always use telephone and email to contact them beforehand, expressing our purpose and the activity weˇ¦re going to do. All of them are really kindly greeting and supporting us. The chairman and general manager of Want Taiwan Cultural Environment Foundation patiently arrange appointment meeting us. They even study our questions first and prepare information, books, photos and real samples (such as bricks) to explain to us during interviews. The shop keeper of Island café preserves his precious lunch hours only for us to enjoy the meal and bathe in the beautiful building and history. Just to name a few only. With so much help from these people, we hope one day we could do the same to give back to the society. They all think weˇ¦re doing something meaningful to help more people understand the importance of historical buildings and not to think of tearing them down.

2. Demonstrating the glamour and meanings of historical buildings through web pages
We are very pleased and thankful for living in a modern city with diversified historical buildings. We hope to take this project to help citizens learn appreciating the history and historical meanings this antique architectures carrying. If we learn more about these historical buildings, we will have more chances to give them new lives and add more colors to our city.

1. Starting from school, we step out to care for the community that we live in, pat attention to the streets and stores in the neighborhood, and learn about the uniqueness of the local area. With every discovery of the stories of these buildings in Dadaocheng and Zhongshan north road, we try to provoke the sense of identity for local residents. One studentˇ¦s grandfather was so excited hearing about our visit to island café, he kept telling all the old stories around this place for an hour.

2. Understanding the importance of historical buildings and making efforts to protect them: Students of Rixing Primary School have great advantages of living in a neighborhood with lots of historical architectures and cultures. These are the legacy handed down to every of us.

We receive so much help from all these people.

1. Text material
We read through many articles written about the Red House and historical buildings in Datong district. Also, we search for lots of official sites and personal blogs of historical buildings. After thoroughly reading these materials, we compile them with our own words. The books and websites referenced are listed in bibliography. Besides, the content of interviews are dictated by ourselves. Questionnaires are listed by us too.
2. Photos and recording
Pictures are taken with digital cameras and DVs with each activity. The usage of these images are authorized and approved by persons involved. Some photos are provided by persons involved and noted in web pages with appreciation.                        

This project helps us understand more about our school and the historical buildings in our neighborhood. For the reason of preparing and executing interviews, we learn more etiquettes about interacting with other people and the importance of prior preparation. Learning isnˇ¦t just about the things we study inside classrooms. Itˇ¦s also about what we could get outside classrooms. We also learn to appreciate the efforts other people make to help us understand so many things. We believe through these web pages, more people will know about the importance of preserving historical buildings around them.

Under the guidance of teacher and help of all these people in our neighborhood, we gradually know about knowledge about historical buildings in Taipei. As long as we get close to these buildings and are willing to listen to theirs stories, we are able to understand their value. They arenˇ¦t just ruins to be torn down, but are interesting historical story books waiting for us to open them. During the process, we understand the importance to preserve historical buildings. If you tear them down, there is no chance theyˇ¦re ever coming back again.
