4. Problems We Had To Overcome
With the past experience, the webpage making this year was relatively smooth except several delayed interviews caused by the rain. When we went there, we had to take farther but safer route because of constant aftershocks. Some people of minorities refused our interview because of misunderstanding, so we had to turn to local friends for help.

Through investigations, we have realized that Qingxi is an ancient town with a long history and rich culture as well as one of model towns for tourism in our county. It is also an important achievement of Zhejiang people’s selfless help after the 5.12 earthquake.

We are all determined to contribute to the development of Qingchuan when grow up.
