Siheyuan: Silly Pillar is Kind

**《Rebirth of Siheyuan: Brilliant Life》 (Continued 7)** With the joint efforts of He Luo, Lin Yue and their neighbors, the Siheyuan has become more and more unique. Tourists come in an endless stream, and the business of merchants has also added a lot of vitality to this place. On this day, He Luo and Lin Yue took a walk in the yard, looking at the lively scene, their hearts were full of emotion. Lin Yue smiled and said, "He Luo, I didn't expect our Siheyuan to become so good now. It all seems like a dream." He Luo gently held her hand and said, "This is not a dream, it is the result of our joint efforts. Yueyue, we must continue to protect this place." As he was talking, a young tourist came over and asked curiously, "Are you residents here? This Siheyuan is really unique." He Luo proudly replied, "Yes, we are residents here. This Siheyuan has a long history and rich cultural connotations." The tourist said enviously, "I really envy you for being able to live in such a beautiful place." At this time, Xiao Wang, a member of the management team, ran over. "Brother He Luo, I have something to discuss with you. There are more and more tourists recently, and our guides are a bit overwhelmed. Do you think we can recruit some more volunteers to help?" He Luo thought about it and said, "This is a good idea. We can post a recruitment notice in the yard to see if there are any enthusiastic people willing to join." Soon, the recruitment notice was posted. Many residents and tourists responded positively and signed up to become volunteers. After training, these volunteers quickly got down to work. They enthusiastically explained the history and culture of the Siheyuan to tourists, winning unanimous praise from tourists. However, as the popularity of the Siheyuan became higher and higher, it also attracted the covetousness of some unscrupulous businesses. One day, a man who claimed to be the owner of a travel company found He Luo. "Mr. He, I heard that your courtyard is very unique. I want to cooperate with you to build it into a high-end tourist attraction. We can invest a lot of money to make it more luxurious." He Luo frowned and said, "We don't want to turn the courtyard into a commercial tourist attraction. We pay more attention to the historical and cultural value here." The boss said unwillingly, "Mr. He, don't be so stubborn. As long as we cooperate, you can get rich returns." He Luo said firmly, "Sorry, we are not interested. We just want to keep the courtyard authentic." The boss left helplessly. Lin Yue said worriedly, "He Luo, will this person come to cause trouble again?" He Luo comforted her, "Don't worry, we have the support of the management team and neighbors. He dare not do anything." Sure enough, the boss did not come again. However, this incident also made He Luo and the members of the management team more vigilant. They strengthened the management of the courtyard, strictly screened cooperative businesses, and ensured that the historical and cultural value of the courtyard would not be destroyed. In this process, He Luo also realized that relying solely on everyone's efforts was not enough. They also need more policy support and social attention. So, he decided to write a letter to the relevant departments, hoping that they would increase the protection of the Siheyuan. In the letter, He Luo elaborated in detail the historical and cultural value of the Siheyuan and its current development, as well as the difficulties and challenges they faced. He called on the relevant departments to introduce more policies to support the protection and development of the Siheyuan. Soon, He Luo received a reply from the relevant departments. They said that they attached great importance to the protection and development of the Siheyuan, and would introduce a series of policy measures to increase support for the Siheyuan. This news made He Luo and his neighbors very happy. With the support of policies and social attention, the development of the Siheyuan has ushered in new opportunities. He Luo, Lin Yue and their neighbors will continue to work hard to make the Siheyuan a place that inherits history and culture, full of love and warmth. In the process, they also gained more friendship and touched. The story of the Siheyuan is still being written...

**《Rebirth of Siheyuan: Brilliant Life》 (Continued 8)** The days in Siheyuan are like a colorful painting, constantly showing new scenes in the flow of time. He Luo, Lin Yue and many neighbors jointly protect this world full of historical charm and human warmth. With the gradual implementation of policy support from relevant departments, the protection and development of Siheyuan has entered a new stage. On this day, He Luo was discussing with the members of the management team how to further enhance the cultural connotation of Siheyuan. "We can't just be satisfied with the status quo, we must continue to explore the historical value of Siheyuan and let more people understand its unique charm." He Luo said with a focused expression. Xiao Wang nodded in agreement: "Brother He Luo is right, we can hold some special lectures and invite experts and scholars to tell everyone about the architectural style and historical changes of Siheyuan." Another member, Lao Zhang, also spoke: "We can also organize some cultural experience activities to let tourists experience the traditional culture of old Beijing firsthand." When everyone was discussing heatedly, Lin Yue came over with an excited look on his face. "He Luo, I just received a call. A school wants to organize students to visit our courtyard to learn and receive traditional cultural education." He Luo's eyes lit up: "This is a good opportunity! We can prepare well and leave a deep impression on the children." So everyone began to prepare intensively. They carefully arranged the exhibition area and prepared rich explanation materials. When the students came to the courtyard, they were immediately attracted by the quaint atmosphere here. He Luo personally served as a tour guide, taking the children to shuttle through every corner of the courtyard, and vividly telling the story here. "Students, you see, the layout of this courtyard is very exquisite. It reflects the life wisdom and aesthetic taste of the old Beijingers." The children listened with relish and asked various questions from time to time. A little boy asked curiously, "Uncle, why are the houses in the Siheyuan so short?" He Luo smiled and replied, "This is because in the past, people paid attention to living in harmony with nature, and short houses can better integrate into the surrounding environment. Moreover, the architectural style of the Siheyuan also reflects the humility and restraint in traditional Chinese culture." During the visit, the children also participated in some traditional cultural experience activities, such as writing calligraphy and painting Peking Opera masks. They had a lot of fun and gained a deeper understanding of traditional culture. After the event, the school teachers expressed their gratitude to He Luo and the management team members. "This event is very meaningful and has benefited the children a lot. I hope there will be more such opportunities in the future." He Luo said modestly, "This is what we should do. We also hope that through such activities, more people will understand and love traditional culture." As the influence of the Siheyuan continues to expand, some media have also come to interview and report. He Luo and Lin Yue have become the focus of everyone's attention. In an interview, the reporter asked: "How did you come up with the idea of ​​protecting and developing Siheyuan?" He Luo answered seriously: "Siheyuan is our root, it carries our history and memory. We have the responsibility to pass it on so that future generations can also feel this unique cultural charm." Lin Yue also added: "Moreover, in this process, we have also gained a lot of friendship and touched. Everyone works together for a common goal, and this feeling is very beautiful." However, behind success is not all smooth sailing. In the development of Siheyuan, there have also been some minor frictions. For example, in order to attract more tourists, some businesses arbitrarily changed the decoration style of the store, which was inconsistent with the overall atmosphere of the Siheyuan. After He Luo discovered this problem, he immediately found the relevant businesses to communicate. "Your shop decoration should be consistent with the style of the Siheyuan, so that it can better integrate into the environment here." The merchant was somewhat reluctant: "We are also doing business for the good of the business, so that the decoration can attract more customers." He Luo patiently explained: "We must consider the overall interests of the Siheyuan, not just the immediate interests. If everyone changes the decoration style at will, the characteristics of the Siheyuan will be destroyed, and there will be fewer and fewer tourists." After some communication, the merchant finally realized his mistake and agreed to make rectifications according to the requirements of the Siheyuan. This incident also made He Luo realize that management work cannot be relaxed at all, and every detail of the Siheyuan must be paid attention to at all times. Under the leadership of He Luo and Lin Yue, the residents of the Siheyuan continued to work hard. They used their actions to interpret their love for traditional culture and their pursuit of a better life. And the Siheyuan, like a bright pearl, shines with a unique light in the long river of history.

**《Rebirth of Siheyuan: Brilliant Life》 (Continued 9)** Under the careful care of He Luo, Lin Yue and everyone, the Siheyuan is blooming with more and more charming brilliance. Media reports have made more people know about this place full of historical charm and humanistic feelings. Tourists have come in droves to feel the unique charm of old Beijing. One day, He Luo was chatting with several old people in the yard, listening to them telling the stories of the Siheyuan in the past. A white-haired uncle said with emotion: "This Siheyuan carries the memories of several generations of us. I am so happy to see it so lively now." He Luo smiled and nodded: "Uncle, we will keep working hard to make the Siheyuan better and better." As he was talking, Lin Yue hurried over with a hint of anxiety on his face. "He Luo, there is something. Just now a tourist accidentally fell while visiting. Although it was not serious, we have to think of a way to prevent such things from happening again in the future." He Luo frowned slightly and immediately stood up: "Let's go and take a look." They came to the scene of the incident and checked the surrounding environment. He Luo found that the ground here was a little uneven, and there were indeed safety hazards. He turned to Lin Yue and said, "We have to fix it here quickly. In addition, we need to conduct a safety inspection of the entire courtyard to ensure the safety of tourists." Lin Yue nodded in agreement: "Okay, I'll arrange it now." Soon, the members of the management team took action and conducted a comprehensive safety inspection of the courtyard. They repaired the uneven ground, checked the structural safety of the house, and set up warning signs in some places prone to danger. In this process, everyone also realized the importance of safety awareness. He Luo decided to organize a safety training to improve everyone's safety awareness. He invited professional safety personnel to explain safety knowledge to residents and businesses. At the training site, the safety personnel explained carefully: "Everyone must pay attention to safety in daily life and business. For example, electricity use must be standardized, fire protection facilities must be checked regularly..." Residents and businesses listened very carefully and asked questions from time to time. A merchant asked, "What should we do if we encounter a fire?" The security personnel replied, "First, stay calm and quickly call the fire alarm. Then, evacuate according to the fire escape knowledge we taught before." After the training, everyone felt that they had gained a lot. The second uncle said with emotion, "I really didn't pay attention to these safety issues before. This training is really timely." The third uncle also nodded and said, "Yes, we must keep safety in mind and can't let tourists get into trouble here." As the safety measures of the Siheyuan continue to improve, the experience of tourists is getting better and better. However, new challenges are placed in front of He Luo and Lin Yue. As more and more tourists come to the Siheyuan, the traffic pressure in the surrounding area is also increasing. Frequent traffic jams have caused great inconvenience to tourists and residents. He Luo and Lin Yue decided to communicate with relevant departments to seek solutions. They came to the traffic management department and explained the situation to the staff. "There are many tourists in our Siheyuan now, but the traffic conditions in the surrounding area are not very good. I hope you can help think of a solution." The staff carefully recorded their problems and said that they would study solutions as soon as possible. After a period of investigation and consultation, the traffic management department formulated a series of measures. They set up temporary parking spaces around the Siheyuan, increased traffic diversion personnel, and optimized bus routes. After the implementation of these measures, the traffic conditions around the Siheyuan have been significantly improved. It is also more convenient for tourists to come here to visit and play. In the process of solving traffic problems, He Luo and Lin Yue also deeply realized the importance of cooperation. They know that only by working together can the development of the Siheyuan be smoother. Days go by, and the story of the Siheyuan continues. He Luo, Lin Yue and the residents of the Siheyuan use their wisdom and sweat to write their brilliant lives. They believe that with everyone's joint efforts, the future of the Siheyuan will definitely be better.
