Feng Zikai's former residence takes on southern residential features, exquisite with a compact layout. |
I am quite alone as I go around the elegantly decorated house. All of a sudden, it is as if I have become the owner of this house, standing in the hall, watching the withering creepers and oily green plantain leaves against the white walls daubed with moss in the chill drizzle of the south. It is so quiet and comfortable that I wish time would stop and I stayed here forever.
The rooms, furnished simply, are elegant and tidy. Descending from the wooden stairs and turning into the backyard of Yuanyuan Hall, I see the concrete surface covered with golden flowers falling from the Osmanthus trees. The sweet fragrance fills my heart.
Beside Yuanyuan Hall is a two-story building, especially built to display works by Feng and other Chinese artists. It was built in late 1998 on the 100th anniversary of his birth.
