It has been drizzling for a few days. We were wondering if the outdoor event at the mountain of Fuxing District could still be held. To our surprise, it turned sunny when we arrived at the mountain. Perhaps the weather is nice that we could feel the energetic crowd as we entered the Yisheng Li Activity Center. The big brothers and sisters chitchatted with one another in high spirits. There is no need for telephone reminder. All showed up on time.

“This is our headmaster, and this is our supervisor.” No one can help but be affected by the amiable atmosphere at Yisheng Li whenever one comes. The administrative head and a few other big sisters started to warm up the setting. Two big brothers may have certain affiliations with the school and were appointed as the leaders. All burst into laughter. It is not common for male participants to join community events. These two big brothers meant to take part in the event and devoted themselves in silence. This is really plausible.

The event today requires the participation of all to make an elevation relief map of Yisheng Li. The difficult and sophisticated parts have already been made, and the residents of the community just need to assemble the parts, paint color, and decorate the map, and they can complete the map model showing their hometown. These big brothers and sisters behaved heroically and were very positive in making the squeeze out the clue for the Styrofoam in the assembly process. They sprayed one layer of paint in high spirits. Another partner also showed his strength and applied a second layer of paint. Followed by the third layer applied by the headmaster and the supervisor. Then, another layer was applied later. Everyone worked wholeheartedly and has jointly created a unique model.

“My home is over there!” “The administrative office is here, and the school is over here.” “Local Officer, you are too greedy! How are you growing so many trees here?”. “Here is the farm but how are there no trees on the farm?”. The working process is so colorful that these big brothers and sisters never forget to squabble with one another as they work. Everyone has built their own home and also the homes of their neighbors and friends on the model. Trees were also grown for friends who were absent that day. It is a perfect manifestation of their close affiliation. The elevation relief map of Yisheng Li was successfully made in this manner!
