If we trace back to the year of the 1950 to 1960, we could see that the sugar industry was very prosperous during that time in Kaohsiung in Taiwan. The sugar industry not only reminds the memory for old Southern people about eating popsicles when they were on the way back to home after school but also represents the special cultural background in Kaohsiung. However, the industrial structure in Taiwan has changed recently that forces the old sugar industry to make some changes to save the industry of the sugar. Now the sugar factory in Qiaotou in Kaohsiung was not the old factory we used to see, instead it developed a new way for people to know more about the sugar industry. The CEO of the sugar industry in Kaohsiung decided to found the museum in Qiaotou to let more people to come to this place during the holidays to experience the culture and the process of making sugars.Taiwan sugar museum is an educational and historical place for parents or schools to take their own children here to know more about sugars and during the trip of visiting the sugar factory that could help the parents and children improve the relationship between them, to make the tie between them much closer and tighter, also to have more common topics for them to chat or discuss. This is a suitable place for all ages. Old people can come to this place to recall their memory; while young people can come here to gain more knowledge about the history of Taiwan also can have a picnic to relax with friends. If you think that this museum only has places for you to visit then you are wrong. It also has the train which was used for transporting sugar before and now you can pay a little fee for 80 dollars to take you to travel around the Qiaotou factory to bring you to visit the Abrin tree square which can bless your love, the Buddha statue set when the Japanese ruled Taiwan, and also the cane land and so on…… What’s more, if you want to do some exercise to ride a bicycle with your friends to explore this place by yourself, then there are bicycles that can be connected with the other bicycles, which is quite fun when you see a lot of bicycles stick together, you may start to worry about if they will get knot together or not.

A picture worth- My grandpa

My grandpa's grinning smile.

When I was a little girl, my mom didn't allow me to buy candies, so whenever I went back to my grandparents' home,I always tricked my grandpa to take me a walk then brought him to the convenient store to buy the snacks secretly without telling my mom. After my little trick succeeded, I always giggled with mischievous eyes. Though my grandpa already knew my little tricks, he would pretended to be tricked by me to fulfill my feeling of accomplishment. I think this is the way how he spoiled me.

Afterwards, I grew up, everytime when I go back the conversation between me and my grandpa is like:

"Have you eaten yet?" Grandpa asked in Taiwanese.

" Oh, I had already eaten it." replied by me in Taiwanese with weird Chinese accent.

"Someone gave it to me, it's delicious, try it." Grandpa said.

"Ok, What's this?" I tried hard to find the topic to talk with grandpa.

The relationship between us is not as close as when I was young, but I still can feel the care from him. However, recently, my grandpa's health condition gets worse and worse. Util a few weeks ago, I went back to visit him, he can't walk by himself and eats less and less. His talking became a kind of murmuring which is difficult for us to understand. What's more, I couldn't feel the energy and the soul from his eyes, only left hollow eye contact...... And he even can't call my name, he mistook me as my cousin.

I know this day will come, but I don't know it comes so fast. I can feel clearly that his life energy is fading away with the times. I feel sorry that I can't do something to help with this condition. I Know the old days won't come back, what I can do is to accept the fact that he is leaving away from us little by little. I only can make a wish to the God to let my grandpa have more time to stay with us and when the time comes for him to go, I wish he could go to a beautiful place with a lot of joy and happiness without any pain.

Share the experience of creating the newspaper with my group members.

 We have read news from different media but have you ever published the newspaper by yourself before? Last week, when I was in massmedia class the teacher gave us an assignment that she asked us to edit the newspaper by ourself. It was a very special experience for me because before I started to create it, I didn't know that we needed to think about so many things which included the logo, the photos, the articles, the layout also the most important one is the copyright. We needed to design the logos by ourselves. After I had discussed with my group member, we decided to use the name " Wenzao Peeper" which came from a story,Peeiping Tom. Actually this is not a positive word, but after our discussion we thought that was quite interesting to use this word just like paparazzi like to peep others. We want to know the news about the activities or the stories happened in Wenzao. That's why we chose the name.
The  original story of Peeping Tom, if you are interested in this you can click the link below :)

And about the difficulties we met is that we didn't know how to use the Rome which teacher recommeded to us then we just chose to use the Peport to do it. Peport is a website that you just only need to sign up to become a member you can start to edit your own newspaper and publish it out. This website also applied many beautiful style of the newspaper or you can use other's sample. Well, for me, this one was more easy for me to use. But when dealing with the layout, I still met some difficulties like the size I was going to use couldn't match my imagine.  So I spent much time on figuring out how to organize the articles and the photos also the function of the website for example: I was trying to find out the how to upload the photos, or how to change to size of the decoration and so on...

Finally, we finished our first newspaper and then gave out a presentation to other classmates during the class, we found out that we still have a lot of space could be improved better. I hope that we can do much better next time. By the way, I am going to learn how to use the Rome recently... cause we are going to make the e-magazine for the midterm. And I like the layout of the Rome, it is so beautiful and stylish. I hope I can publish a beautiful magazine which can attract people to read it. Look forward to it !!! To learn a new skill of publishing stuffs.

here is the link of our first new paper:
