Homeland, in that place called Sandu Lotus Continent

● Peach and plum spring wind a glass of wine, jianghu night rain ten years of lights ●

native land

In that place called Sandu Lotus Continent

The reputation of the ancestors is so prominent

Countless people left the South China Sea by boat from the mouth of the Cangjiang River

In exchange for one arcade house after another

Liantang Academy, where teenagers are lang lang

That's from the race

One historical hope after another

It's in this corner of the coast

The good name of the ancestors is still being sung

But the sound of books is gone

A hundred years of glory has washed away the sorrows of the ethnic group

Only the wordless homeland is still chanting

Ancestors once wandered

Footprints of ancestors

Some sleep here, some are buried elsewhere

But we cannot fail to live up to our homeland

Let history echo

Let the family roots cast eternal hope here

As the great-grandson of Chen Bingyou, the founder of Liantang Villa, Chen Quanzhi has been working hard to inherit and protect this provincial cultural protection unit - Liantang Villa after retirement.

In 2017, after being repaired by the government department, Liantang Villa attracted more and more Chinese and foreign tourists, who were amazed by this magnificent ancient architectural complex.

However, in Chen Quanzhi's view, only the building is far from enough, so he persuaded the Chen clan to donate their own collections and create 15 exhibition halls, sharing thousands of old objects to Haicang people and tourists.

Chen Quanzhi, who is 73 years old, still looks like he is in good spirits, saying: "I donated almost all of my collections, and under my influence, many old friends also donated a lot."

Liantang Villa, took a group photo with Mr. Chen Quanzhi

Chen Quanzhi is the watchman of Liantang Villa, and has just been selected as the second "Xinxiang Xian" in Xiamen. Yesterday, I met him this morning, Liantang Villa to meet for an interview.

After the interview, the two of us sat at a table in one of the pavilions and talked a lot. This retired deputy department-level leading cadre, who is approachable and has his own unique cultural perspective, can be said to be the pride of the Chen family.

After the manuscript was written, he wrote a poem "Homeland" to express his inner feelings.

Comrade Liao Yicong of the Cultural and Historical Committee of the CppcC Haicang District collected their tombstones into a book, and at his request, I wrote a poem "Overseas Chinese Tomb Yin": Nanyang is a stranger, and the tomb is a family monument; the blood is connected to China, and the soul is involved in rain. This poem just fits the content of today's poem.

Idle questions, comment on the wind and moon. Carry wine at the time, mix ice and snow. If the heart is bright, the road has sunshine. Be a person who loves words together, be a bright person, hold the pen in your hand tightly, and smile at the vicissitudes. The rush of the journey is carved into life, and the ordinary and tasteful life is sketched and graffiti.
