Located in the Huizhou area of ​​southern Anhui Province, surrounded by mountains and green waters, the ancient residence of the C family has gone through more than a hundred years of vicissitudes and is still majestic and shining. According to local chronicles, Xiuning County in this area has produced seventeen top scholars, so it has a profound cultural heritage. The villagers respect knowledge and take pride in reading. Even the children from farm families mostly attended private schools for two or three years. But behind the flowers, it's not all singing and laughter. When I was a child, my mother took me by the hand and went to the fourth room to visit an elder who was nearly sixty years old - my fourth uncle. Although we are not directly related to her, according to seniority in the big family, I am her granddaughter. I don't know when she started living alone in the deep courtyard. We stepped into the threshold of her home and saw her holding the pipa in her arms and playing the ancient song "Autumn in the Han Palace".
