Fortunately, I wasn't the only one who felt this way. For example, I-yung Hung and Wang Hao of the "Mei Stream Painting Association" and, later, Teng Hsiang-yang, were all like me: After going out to study, they came back to their hometown one after the other, and each in his own specialty did a little something for Puli.
還好，不只我一個人這麼想，像「眉之溪畫會」的畫友黃義永老師、王灝老師等人，以及後來的鄧相揚，都和我一樣，出外求學後，陸續回到鄉土，再各自從不同的專長出發，想為埔里做一點事。
