In 1982 Wu learned of a school run by the Catholic Maryknoll Sisters that had been left empty when student numbers had fallen and was even flooded by a major typhoon. Located in a low-lying area, when a nearby river burst its banks the school was filled with all manner of dirt and river sludge and with no money for repairs was effectively abandoned for several years.
因緣湊巧，一九八二年天主教瑪利諾修女會所屬的一所學校，因招不到學生而荒廢著，又遇上一場大颱風，院址較低漥，就被水淹了，旁邊的河堤崩潰，所有髒東西都往裡面沖，沒經費整理，荒置多年。
