Visit to Birthplace

So nice that we three sisters who were born in Nanjing had a good time in last May to visit the old place where we lived after birth...

That is a big courtyard where it was Kuomintang's general headquarter of  combined service and then after liberation, PLA Nanjing military Region Political department used it as dormitory in early 50s..

Here is my picture sorted out for memory:

 This is the old building where we lived, now  is also dismantled. This picture was taken by dormitory manager in 80s last century.

 We three sisters, each was born in 1950 (Me, in the middle), in 1952(The right one) and in 1954(The left one). More than half century passed. Time really flies!

 Standing at the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge, we were still holding on the hope and wishes of life.

Xuanwu Lake, a famouse park in center of the city. Inside Xuanwu Lake are 5 isles that are suitable for a scenic walk and contain many small tourist attractions such as Lama Temple, small amusement park rides and the "Temple of Xuanwu Lake God."  We used to visit Xuanwu Lake as our home was near it.

We were very happy back home with mother after visiting our birthplace.  We have experienced a lot and got to know what life was and now we still like to take an optimistic attitude towards future. As long as there is hope, there is life! Let's smile all the days!

Hope you would share my happiness!
