For more than three hundred years, I have witnessed all kinds of entanglements between life, death, love and hate in this house. When I came here, this was the ancestral residence of a prefect named Jiang. Today, the owner here is Bai Hanlin. Between Jiang and Bai, this house changed its owner six times. During this period, every owner had a look of surprise on their face when they saw me. As the years went by, the surprises I saw became more and more frequent, and every buyer finally wrote my name on the transaction list: Xinyu.
How lucky I am to be an outside observer and have the opportunity to witness the changes and vicissitudes of this world. From a distance, I watched the noisy farces, comedies, and tragedies being staged one after another. The protagonists, who were either crazy or insane, righteous or evil, sang their melodious and heart-wrenching songs.
