Chapter 309: Let these precious memories be passed on
Jia Dongxu also agreed, "Yes, this is just the beginning. There is still a lot of work to be done in the future, but I believe we can go further."
Lou Xiao'e looked at Xiaodang gratefully, "Xiaodang, thank you. Without you, I really don't know what I would do."
Xiao Dang responded with a smile, "Lou Xiao'e, this is our joint effort. There is still a long way to go, let's work hard together."
Several people stood in the yard, facing the sunshine, feeling the weight and warmth of history. They knew that although there are still many challenges in the future, as long as they unite and work hard, they will surely create a more brilliant future.
With the successful completion of the renovation work, the courtyard and the old house have taken on new vitality. Xiaodang and his team have not only completed a great work, but also brought traditional culture and lifestyle back into people's vision.
On a bright morning, Xiaodang, Su Ming, Jia Dongxu and Lou Xiaoe held a small celebration ceremony in the courtyard, inviting some cultural scholars and craftsmen to witness this important moment. Everyone gathered in the courtyard and shared every detail of the restoration work.
Professor Zhang also came to the scene. In his speech, he highly praised the efforts of Xiaodang and his team. "Xiaodang, Su Ming, Jia Dongxu, Lou Xiaoe, your work is not only about repairing buildings, but also about protecting and inheriting culture. Your efforts have given us hope for traditional culture."
As night fell, the lights in the courtyard gradually lit up, and the courtyard seemed warm and quiet. Xiaodang and Lou Xiao'e were enjoying this rare quiet time in the courtyard, while Su Ming and Jia Dongxu were still discussing future renovation plans in the study. Suddenly, Xiaodang's cell phone rang, breaking the silence. It was Lou Xiao'e's call.
"Xiaodang, what's wrong?" Lou Xiao'e put down the teacup in her hand and asked with concern.
Xiao Dang answered the phone with a serious expression, "Yan Jiecheng? Why did you team up with Liu Guangtian to set a trap?"
Yan Jiecheng on the other end of the phone seemed a little uneasy, "Xiaodang, please listen to my explanation. This is all a misunderstanding..."
"Misunderstanding?" Xiao Dang's tone was full of dissatisfaction. "You knew that Su Ming had been working hard to repair the courtyard, so why did you set a trap to harm him?"
Grandpa and grandma are a beacon in Su Ming's heart. Every story they tell is a precious historical memory. Su Ming likes to hear the interesting things that happened in this courtyard when they were young. Grandma often said that at that time, there were all kinds of people living in the courtyard, including literati, rich children, and hawkers and artists, and life was very lively.
As time went by, the residents of the courtyard slowly changed. Older residents moved out one after another, and young people chose a more modern way of living. The same was true for Su Ming's parents. Although they had deep feelings for this courtyard, they chose to move to a new building in the city for the convenience of work and life. Only Su Ming's grandparents still stick to this old courtyard, guarding the peace and tranquility that belongs to them every day.
After graduating from university, Su Ming chose to stay in Beijing to work. He would always return to this courtyard on weekends to help his grandparents take care of the flowers and trees in the yard. Every time he returned here, he felt an indescribable intimacy and peace, as if this was his real home. Especially during the Spring Festival every year, he would invite some old friends back to the courtyard to hold a lively and warm party, filling the courtyard with laughter again.
However, with the rapid development of the city, the Siheyuan in old Beijing has gradually become a rare cultural heritage. The government has stepped up its efforts to protect cultural relics, but in the face of the pressure of commercialization and modernization, it is still difficult to completely preserve its original appearance. Sometimes, Su Ming would dream in the middle of the night and see this courtyard surrounded by high-rise buildings, locust trees being cut down, and doors and windows being sealed, as if everything was changing ruthlessly.
He began to realize that this courtyard house was not only the memory of his family, but also a part of the entire old Beijing, a symbol and continuation of culture. Su Ming decided to speak out for this courtyard house, hoping to use various means to make more people understand and pay attention to the protection of this historical building. He and some like-minded friends established a cultural protection association, and through publicity and activities, called on all sectors of society to take action together to protect the cultural heritage of old Beijing and pass on these precious memories.
In this process, Su Ming met many like-minded friends, some of whom are cultural historians, some are artists, and some are urban planners. Everyone is working tirelessly for the beliefs in their hearts. Although they are facing many difficulties and challenges, they firmly believe that as long as everyone works together, the old Beijing courtyards will be able to rejuvenate with new vitality.
In this turbulent but hopeful era, Su Ming and his friends continued their journey of cultural protection. They organized more cultural activities and held many public lectures to popularize the history and culture of old Beijing to the public and guide everyone to respect and care for traditional architecture. They also actively participated in the government's cultural heritage protection plan to protect the cultural heritage of old Beijing.
Despite facing many challenges and obstacles, Su Ming never gave up his love and perseverance for this courtyard. He knows that this is not just a building, but also a precious history and culture, which is the precious wealth left by their ancestors. He hopes that every child in the future can see the stories of their ancestors here and feel the deep friendship of this city.
Xiaoxia sat quietly in the courtyard of the quadrangle, staring at the locust tree in the distance. In the early morning of this spring, the newly grown green leaves on the locust tree swayed gently in the breeze, making a rustling sound, as if telling the passing of time and the continuation of life.
She is Su Ming's cousin, a young woman who was also born in Beijing. Xiaoxia grew up in a courtyard house, and every corner is engraved with her childhood footprints and youth memories. She and Su Ming are partners who grew up together and spent many happy times together. Now, she has become a senior journalist, running around every corner of the city all year round, looking for the truth and stories hidden behind.
On this morning, Xiaoxia came to the courtyard early. She knew that this was the harbor of her soul and the starting point for finding answers. Recently, she heard a story about Xu Damao, a little-known rumor, which might reveal the mystery that has troubled her family for many years.
