When I walked through the winding alleys and streets in the old , , I always admire the beauty of the unconventional houses. They just look so much more attractive than standardized apartments and they always surprise me with blossoming flowers, a detailed carving, or a faded window frame. Every time, I wondered who wouldn't want to live in these houses? Then I thought I was one of them, abandoning the place I grew up and sought so-called better living environment. Now I've decided to come back to my old family house, back to the old alley where senior neighbors are still dwelling, and back to a slower living pace.
will be a tremendously difficult project for me, but I'm not going to finish it in one month, or one year. The idea is to move in first and do little things day by day. I'm not sure what my house will be used other than living, I do hope to create a small public space for the neighborhood.
So far, with the help of my family, the main broken tile roof is restored, with 24 glass tiles to make the room below bright and shiny. I love how the sunshine goes in at different times of the day.

The Festival, or Double Seventh Festival, is NOT another Chinese Valentine’s Day. Actually I like my local tradition better. It is mainly worshiping the seven sisters from the heaven and wish for better knitting skills.
On the tribute table, seven kinds of fruits, flowers and cakes are offered. As well as needles and powder, and some paper clothes for the sisters. Wait, why there are eight cups of tea?

Love the way this guy selling his bananas! It’s convenient and keep them fresh. He said he comes to all the way from , a town famous for growing bananas. Well, I tried the bananas, they look small and thin but incredibly sweet! By the way, most of the bananas in the pictures are a different kind of bananas called milk bananas, which are smooth and less sweet.
