Evening Reverie: Wen Yiduo's Former Residence
We had just finished a late dinner, the city lights reflecting off the wet streets as we made our way back to the hotel. It was then, almost by chance, that we stumbled upon the former residence of Wen Yiduo. The commemorative plaque, weathered by time, stood as a testament to the Chinese poet and scholar known for his nationalistic verses.
The night cast long shadows, and the iron and metal fence surrounding the property seemed to guard the memories within. I captured several images, each telling a silent story. The darkness and night enveloped the symbolic architecture. A lone flower, its delicate petals still vibrant despite the hour, offered a touch of solace against the stark backdrop.
Inside, or perhaps visible through a window, a teddy bear and other stuffed toys sat on an old piece of furniture, hinting at lives lived within those walls. The wood stain on various surfaces, along with fading handwriting on what might have been a blackboard, spoke of a bygone era. Even a map, perhaps of the area or a journey, seemed to whisper tales of the past. The warm glow of a lighting fixture in the night illuminated a still-life scene, capturing the essence of the moment. Further down the street, cars and other motor vehicles moved past, a stark contrast to the quiet reverence of the former residence.
