today, we mainly went to the different villages and went on a cultural visit to shexian. the different villages have different cultural histories in them, with a lot of artifacts and information about the ancestors. one of the villages gave me a deep impression whereby it has seven memorial archways, each of them with different meanings. one of them was about how filial a son was, whereby he was willing to sacrifice for his father and his father was also willing to do so for him, in the end the traitors who saw this let them go. each of this memorial archways with a different story behind them actually made me learn alot.afterwards, we went to a beautiful place nearby with alot of flowers and butterflies with bees.
we also saw the court with bao gong the official who literally represented justice who used to work there.
next, we went to shexian and went to the huishang big house,tangyue, etc. we continued to learn more about the cultural history of shexian and took pictures too.
finally, at night we went for a talk about huizhou and its past and success. i learnt that all these famous people who came from huizhou must have worked really hard to gain success. we also learnt about the spirit of the huizhou people: to be determined in whatever they do. and i feel that we should be as persistent as them to, to not be afraid of all the hardwork we have to do.
for the entire day, we just went on a cultural visit and a talk, although it did not seem very exciting but i felt that i have learnt alot along the way about being determined and how rich in cultural history huizhou was. however, i am starting to feel rather sad about the fact that this OELP trip is about to come to an end.
pictures!:D
