Features: The charm is often scattered by wind and rain. Beijing is a place where culture flourishes, but the reality of discovering and preserving the former residences of cultural figures is far from optimistic. Cultural giants and charming scholars like Gong Zizhen, Shen Jiaben, Liang Qichao, Zhou Brothers, Gu Hongming, and Qi Baishi, who have influenced the history of modern and contemporary intellectual and cultural development, were celebrated worldwide in their lifetimes, yet their former homes are mostly hidden or lost in ordinary streets. Through calm and objective records, the reporter restores the true relationship between geography and people, continuing the cultural memory amidst fragments.
