Anyway, I suppose it must have been about 7 or 8 years ago when I went there, so it was quite a while ago, and as for why I visited it, well if Im gonna be totally honest with you, I wasnt actually all that keen on going, because at that time I had absolutely no interest in history or poetry, so it wasnt my idea of fun at all, you know, I would much rather have been at home watching TV! But my parents thought it would be a good idea to take me there, as they said it would help me understand more about Chinese culture and also what life used to be like when they were children. And as well as this, I think they may have also secretly hoped that going there might spark my interest in poetry or calligraphy. But anyway, as for what people were doing there, well, there wasnt really that much to see, apart from the calligraphy and photographs which were hanging up on the walls. So people were mainly just walking around the house looking at the various things on the walls and reading the captions which, I have to admit, I didnt bother doing myself, as I wasnt the least bit interested in any of it. I guess I was just too young to really appreciate it. And with regard to how I felt about the building itself, well if truth be told, it wasnt really all that impressive, because it was basically just a small two-storey house with a little garden running around it. So it probably looked pretty much what most other houses would have looked like 50 years ago. But then again I guess it wasnt meant to look that impressive, because the whole point of preserving the house was to commemorate the life of the poet, so the focus was on him rather than the building itself.
