While HSU visited Huai Mo Tzu Chiang House, he found more than ten sewing machines which were donated by a Britain in ten more years ago. In his original intention, the Britain hoped, with these machines, local orphans could make a living from producing and selling purses and clothes by their own. However, these machines were not fully utilized. Therefore, HSU invited a teacher to teach orphans how to use it, and then completed this tapestry work together. The image of the tapestry is from a picture taken in 1973, in which there's two senior officers standing in front of the newly-established CIA(Central Intelligence Agency). These fabrics are usually used to make clothes for local children. The fabric in dark blue is used for making girl's skirt, the khaki is used for boy's pants, while the white is used for their shirts.
