Siheyuan: Tathagata's Palm suppresses the entire courtyard!

Chapter 294: In the Hearts of the People Here

With the legal issues resolved, the project proceeded smoothly, the old town was given a new look, and residents expressed their gratitude.

Ran Qiuye smiled slightly, "Dongxu, we need to talk." He stepped aside to let Xu Mingjie in, "This is Xu Mingjie, the chief architect of our company."

Jia Dongxu's eyes flashed with panic, but he immediately regained his composure. "Oh, Mr. Xu, welcome. Please come in and sit down."

Xu Mingjie sensed Jia Dongxu's subtle changes, but didn't say anything. They walked into the living room, Jia Dongxu poured tea for them, and after the three of them sat down, Ran Qiuye got straight to the point.

"Dongxu, our project is progressing smoothly, but we have encountered some problems with some key materials and technical support." Ran Qiuye said straight to the point.

Jia Dongxu showed a trace of uneasiness on his face, but he quickly concealed it. "Really? What's the problem?"

Xu Mingjie took over the conversation and explained in detail the technical difficulties and material shortages encountered in the project. "We heard that you have in-depth research and abundant resources in these areas, and hope to get your help."

After listening to this, Jia Dongxu frowned slightly, as if thinking. "Well, this is indeed a bit tricky, but I will do my best to help."

At this moment, Ran Qiuye suddenly said: "Actually, there is another thing we need you to explain clearly."

When the government's demolition notice was posted on the gate of the Siheyuan, everyone in the courtyard fell silent. Everyone felt reluctant to leave, because this was not only their residence, but also the home where they had lived together for many years. For this demolition, the government arranged new residences for each family, but everyone knew that if they left the Siheyuan, they would lose not only a residence, but also a unique lifestyle and deep feelings between neighbors.

Although Mr. Xu is old, he is still the backbone of the courtyard. Everyone came to him to discuss countermeasures, and he always patiently comforted everyone, told them to trust the government's arrangements, and encouraged everyone to face the new life positively. Under the influence of his father, Xu Mingjie also took the initiative to help neighbors sort out their relocated items and run around for elderly neighbors to do his part.

The day of relocation finally arrived, and everyone left the courtyard house that had accompanied them for many years with mixed feelings. Xu Mingjie and his family moved to a new residential area. Although the new house was in better condition, he could not forget every detail of the courtyard house. The days spent in the courtyard house, the warmth and love between people, were deeply engraved in his heart.

In his new home, Xu Mingjie continued to pursue his dream. He was admitted to Peking University and became a student of Chinese. In college, he was exposed to more literary works and had more opportunities to write. He wrote a novel about his experience in the Siheyuan, called "The Years in the Siheyuan". In the novel, he used delicate brushstrokes to describe every person and every story in the Siheyuan, especially the days when everyone faced the demolition together, which makes people feel deeply moved.

Once published, "Years in Siheyuan" received widespread attention and praise. Many readers were moved by the stories in the book, and some even found Xu Mingjie and told him that they also grew up in a Siheyuan, and many plots in the book evoked their memories. Xu Mingjie's works are not only popular in China, but also translated into many languages ​​and go international.

Although the Siheyuan has become a part of history, Xu Mingjie has passed on this unique culture and lifestyle through his pen. In the process, he also found his own value and direction. The people and things in the Siheyuan will always be the source and motivation of his creation. In the new era, he continues to use words to record the changes in life and the warmth of human feelings, becoming a witness and recorder of that era.

Thanks to Xu Mingjie's efforts, the Siheyuan is not only an architectural symbol, but also a symbol of humanistic spirit and the power of solidarity and mutual assistance. Under his pen, these stories are given new life and continue to move readers generation after generation. Although the years of the Siheyuan are gone, the warmth and beauty will always remain in everyone's heart.

In some corner of Beijing, there may still be some siheyuans standing quietly, witnessing the development and changes of the city. Those who once lived in the siheyuans have long been scattered in various corners of the city, but their memories and feelings about the siheyuans are still as vivid as ever. In Xu Mingjie's writings, the stories of the siheyuans will continue to be passed on and become an indelible memory and spiritual wealth.

Xu Mingjie gradually emerged in the literary world, and his works have been paid more and more attention and loved by more and more people. His writing style is unique, and he is good at showing the inner world and emotional fluctuations of characters through delicate descriptions. Under his pen, the lives of ordinary people become vivid and touching, and he has touched the hearts of countless readers with his plain and unpretentious words.

However, despite his considerable achievements, Xu Mingjie has never forgotten his original intention. He still pays attention to the fate of the Siheyuan and the people who grew up in the Siheyuan like him. Whenever he has the opportunity, he always returns to the place that has become a high-rise building to find that familiar feeling. Although things and people have changed, he believes that the spirit of the Siheyuan still exists in the hearts of everyone who has lived here.

During a literary and artistic event, Xu Mingjie met a female reporter named Li Xin. Li Xin admired Xu Mingjie's works very much, and the two soon became good friends. Li Xin also had a strong interest in the culture and history of the Siheyuan, and she often discussed stories and legends about the Siheyuan with Xu Mingjie. As time went by, their friendship gradually sublimated into love.

Li Xin's presence made Xu Mingjie's life more fulfilling and meaningful. She was not only his partner, but also his confidant and supporter. Encouraged by Li Xin, Xu Mingjie decided to write a non-fiction work about Siheyuan culture, recording the stories of those Siheyuans that have disappeared or are disappearing, and the people living in them.

For this work, Xu Mingjie and Li Xin started extensive investigation and interviews. They visited many courtyard houses in old Beijing, interviewed many people who once lived in the courtyard houses, and listened to their long-forgotten stories. Behind each story, there is a moving experience, and each person carries a unique history.
