On the weekend, I stepped into the famous local overseas Chinese farm with the spirit of exploration. Here, I had the pleasure of visiting the former home of an overseas Chinese who returned from Indonesia in the 70s of the last century. This house has a unique character and I am sure it will make your eyes shine with its unique charm. Now, let's walk into this historic overseas Chinese old house and feel the different style!
It is the home of a couple in their seventies who returned to the land from Indonesia in the early 70s, when they were in their prime of twenties. In a blink of an eye, they have spent more than 50 years here. The house was built by their own hands when they first returned, and although it is only one floor, it carries their deep emotional and historical memories. Because the house carries so much historical value, it cannot be demolished, but can only be carefully renovated to preserve its original charm and at the same time improve the comfort of living.
The house has more than 50 square meters, and then slowly built the front and rear yards, plus the area of the two yards is also more than 80 square meters, this is the front yard!
Now, the children of the two elderly people are entering middle age, and their grandchildren are about to start a family, indicating that a new chapter in the family is about to begin. However, these two overseas Chinese elders who have returned from Indonesia still stick to this old house they built with their own hands and have lived in it for more than 50 years. Although the children have settled in the city, they still choose to stay in this land that carries countless memories, and the old man affectionately said that it has long been an indispensable part of their lives, so they chose to stay and continue to protect this history.
Let's take a look at the front yard, it is very clean and tidy, and the furnishings are also very particular, I guess you can't imagine that this is a house where a pair of elderly people in their 70s live, right?
There are also a lot of flowers and plants planted in the yard, motorcycles are their daily means of transportation, and grandpa often rides a car to take grandma to the town 10 minutes away to buy vegetables!
Look at the green bricks on the wall of the house, you can know the age of this house! This is a pair of very tasteful old people, and there are two thrushes in the yard, right?
In this birdcage in the corner of the yard is another thrush!
This old house carries the memories of the ups and downs of the two old people for 50 years! No wonder they are reluctant to follow their children into the city to live!
This is the living room, although the area of the house is only more than 50 square meters, and the decoration is not luxurious, but the neatness in front of you is amazing. The furniture is maintained as good as new, exuding the warm luster of the years. It's hard to imagine that this is a space inhabited by a couple of elderly people over 70 years old, and every detail reveals their love and cherishment of life.
Look at this cabinet, it's so clean and shiny!
This is the old man's bedroom, and it is also tightly organized!
The refrigerator that the old man's children bought for them was bought more than 10 years ago, and it is still like new!
This is the backyard, this is the kitchen area, although there are more things, it is still very well organized, and the floor is very clean!
The bathroom is also a tile pasted more than 10 years ago, and the maintenance is very perfect, I thought it was renovated in the past few years!
Look at this roof, it's still a wooden roof!
Vegetable sink in the backyard, just outside the kitchen!
Although the two old men are in their old age, their mentality is still young, and their hands-on ability has not diminished in the slightest. At this moment, they were busy in the backyard, carefully wrapping the small wooden door with iron sheets, and every movement seemed so attentive and skillful.
After visiting this old house that carries the memories of two overseas Chinese elders for more than 50 years, my heart is full of emotion. It is not only a residence, but also a witness to a piece of history, a spiritual inheritance.
