                  Hometown and people 
           In 2007, 20 students in Xi'datan Middle School participated in West China Story Project. Since Apr 12 of 2007, as many as 110 stories and 463 photos are published on “westchianstory” website. All the web pages are made by the students themselves with the instruction of tutors named Pu Cheng and Cheng Yun in their spare time. 
           In students'eyes, their hometown is so beautiful. 
"We live in Xiama, where the mountains are covered with green forests. The rivers are clean, in which the water can be compared to the mineral water sold in the city. The people in our hometown are hospitable. When guest arrive, we will serve them with ghee tea, Zanba, and mutton. We drink Tibetan wine and dance Guozhuang."(By Ma Hongzu)

           In a rainy afternoon, our instructor, a journalist from Shanghai and our classmates went to do a research in forest. We took a lot of pictures on the way. From local herd people's words, we got to know that Xiama Forest is the vanguard of our hometown.
