Lan, Lin-Zhi (Master Lan) said happily that he used to be a soldier in Kinmen Xiao-Jing; during the past decade, he recruited more than 3000 persons from Taiwan to visit Kinmen, which contributed to Kinmen very much. Now, although he becomes old, he is still able to do something for Kinmen while enjoying a life in retirement. He feels so glorified and well-off (6). Especially, during the past two years when he and his son Lan, Wei-Heng managed this homestay together, tourists from 18 countries or regions worldwide in total-in addition to Taiwanese tourists-came to lodge at this homestay, which also contributes a lot to international marketing and people-to-people diplomacy for Kinmen invisibly. Lan, Wei-Heng is also a teacher of "Bo-Le Private School" that engages in individual education work in Jincheng. He also initiated the activity for people to study and travel in Kinmen and stay in the homestay. He hopes to recover the style of study that used to make Zhushan so proud in those days. He had visited Australia and the US for further studies for many times, and he personally invited many Taiwanese and foreign teachers and artists to deliver speeches in Kinmen. During these periods, he continued to increase the international exposure of Kinmen. This aimed to convey the image to the whole world- it is not only for the "blissful homestay", but also for Kinmen the blissful island. Kinmen can make friends with the whole world. We also invite many more people from all over the world to visit here and have experience. We can work together to make Kinmen better.
　 藍林枝（藍老爺）開心的表示，年輕時在金門小徑當兵，十幾年來也從台灣揪團了三千多人來金門旅遊，可以說為金門貢獻良多，現在年紀大了還能邊養老邊為金門做一點事，內心感到非常榮耀與豐足。尤其和兒子藍韋鑅一起努力經營民宿兩年多來，除了台灣旅客外，共有世界各地十八個國家或地區的遊客來入住，無形中也為金門做了不少國際行銷與國民外交。在金城從事個別式教育工作「伯樂學堂」的藍韋鑅老師也開創來金門遊學上課住民宿的活動，希望能恢復當年珠山引以為榮的學風，他曾多次前往澳洲與美國進修，也獨力邀請許多台灣及外國老師、藝術家來金門演講，期間不斷幫金門打響國際知名度，希望能傳達的不只是〈幸福民宿〉，也能傳遞金門就是個〈幸福島嶼〉的意象給全世界，金門可以跟全世界做朋友，也能多多邀請世界各地的好朋友來遊玩與體驗，大家可以一起努力讓金門更美好。
