Siheyuan: A young man starts a game and ignores the law

Su Ming and Ye Fei walked out of the bustling mall together, carrying bags full of New Year's goods. The streets were bustling with people, the lights were bright, and the air was filled with a strong festive atmosphere.

"Fei Fei, are these New Year's goods what you like?" Su Ming asked with concern, looking at the bag in Ye Fei's hand.

Ye Fei smiled and nodded, her eyes full of relief and gratitude: "Brother Ming, you are so thoughtful, these are all good, thank you."

Su Ming smiled and said lovingly, "You're welcome. This is what we should do. The New Year is coming soon, and having a good New Year is the most important thing."

As they talked, they walked through the busy commercial street towards Ye Fei's home. Walking on the road, the lights were bright and colorful, and the road was lined with festive lights, illuminating their way forward.

Arriving at Ye Fei's door, Su Ming put down the New Year's goods and looked at Ye Fei's back as she smiled and said goodbye, feeling reluctant to leave. Ye Fei turned around and looked at Su Ming, her eyes revealing a hint of affection.

"Brother Ming, you should also have a good New Year and don't be too tired." Ye Fei said gently, her voice soft and pleasant.

Su Ming nodded and smiled: "Don't worry, I will be fine. Feifei, you have to take good care of yourself too. Tell me if you need anything."

Ye Fei smiled and nodded, her eyes full of determination: "Yes, I know. You should also take care of your health. We still have a lot of things to do in the new year."

Their eyes met, as if countless words and emotions were flowing between them. They understood each other, without words.

Finally, Su Ming turned and left, leaving Ye Fei standing alone at the door. Ye Fei looked at Su Ming's back, with a gentle light in her eyes, and her heart was full of attachment and expectation for him.

It was not until Su Ming's figure gradually went away and disappeared at the end of the street that Ye Fei turned around and walked into the house. The feeling in her heart was hard to describe, but the warmth and happiness always remained in her heart.

Su Ming is the fifth generation of this family. He is a blend of the ancient and modern. His father is a fan of traditional culture, while his mother is a white-collar worker in a modern city. In this unique family environment, Su Ming has developed a strong interest in the ancient traditions of the courtyard and modern society since he was a child.

When he was a child, Su Ming often played with his cousins ​​in the courtyard. They flew kites, climbed trees, and explored together in the courtyard, spending countless happy times. Whenever night fell and the stars hung in the sky, Su Ming would be attracted by his grandfather's stories. Grandpa said that this courtyard has a history of hundreds of years and carries the glory and joy of the family. In his grandfather's narration, Su Ming seemed to see the hard work of his ancestors and the ups and downs of the family.

As he grew older, Su Ming gradually discovered many secrets in the courtyard. The ancient well in the courtyard was said to hide an unspeakable past; the stone bench under the old tree witnessed countless generations of people sitting and thinking; and the long-forgotten family tree recorded the rise and fall of the family and the continuation of the bloodline.

However, with the rapid development of society, the fate of the Siheyuan is also facing huge challenges. The wave of urbanization is sweeping in, and the old neighborhoods around the Siheyuan are gradually rebuilt, the ancient buildings are demolished, and replaced by modern high-rise buildings. The traditional culture of the family is gradually forgotten, and the young generation's feelings for this land are gradually fading.

Facing all this, Su Ming's heart was full of contradictions and struggles. He longed to protect the family tradition, but was powerless to change the impact of reality. He tried hard to find a solution, hoping to make the Siheyuan revitalized and become a carrier of family cultural heritage.

In this process, Su Ming met many like-minded friends, some of whom were ancient architecture experts, some were cultural inheritors, and some were urban planners. Together, they discussed how to protect ancient buildings, how to pass on culture, and how to integrate Siheyuan with modern society. Although they faced many difficulties and challenges, they always persisted because they believed that only by protecting the historical treasures can future generations remember the glory of the family.

The day Su Ming returned to Guangzhou, the sun shone through the glass window onto his face, but it failed to dispel the haze in his heart. He looked out the window at the bustling streets, but felt as if he was in another world.

"What's wrong, Su Ming? You look unhappy." A colleague asked with concern.

Su Ming shook his head. "Nothing, just something is bothering me."

"Would you like to talk about it? Maybe I can help."

Su Ming was silent for a moment, but finally decided to tell his colleague about his troubles. He told him about his family's courtyard house and the difficulties and challenges it faced.

"I see." After listening to Su Ming's narration, the colleague frowned, "This is indeed a tricky question. But I think maybe you can think about it from another angle."

"What angle?" Su Ming asked curiously.

"You can consider turning this courtyard into a platform for cultural exchange," my colleague suggested, "such as holding some traditional cultural activities to attract more people's attention and participation."

Su Ming's eyes lit up after hearing this, "That's a good idea! I can give it a try."

So Su Ming started his action. He used his social resources to contact some well-known people in the cultural and art circles and prepared a traditional cultural exhibition. This exhibition brought together various elements such as ancient calligraphy and paintings, traditional handicrafts, and folk culture, attracting many citizens to visit.

At the event, Su Ming not only introduced the history and culture of the Siheyuan to people, but also invited some old artists to perform on the spot, so that people could experience the charm of traditional culture firsthand. After the event, many visitors showed great interest in the Siheyuan and expressed their desire to visit it.

The success of this event gave Su Ming hope, and he decided to continue promoting similar cultural exchange activities to make Siheyuan a new platform for cultural inheritance. He also planned to transform Siheyuan into a cultural and art center to provide a space for learning and communication for the general public.

However, just when Su Ming was full of hope and ready to act, a sudden fire completely changed everything. The courtyard was engulfed in fire, and many precious cultural relics and ancient buildings were destroyed. Su Ming was heartbroken and in great pain.

On the road to reconstruction, Su Ming encountered more challenges and difficulties. Funds, manpower, time, and other problems came one after another, which put him in an unprecedented predicament. However, he did not give up and still walked firmly on the road to move forward.
