Inside a house in my grandfather's village, Hainan Island， China

摄于海南岛外公老家的一处房子里

我告诉亲戚我是搞建筑的，对村里的老房子很有兴趣。亲戚便打了车带我和父母回到村里，挨家挨户串门。村子里二战之前到南洋的人去的多。墙上挂的照片是这户人家南洋的亲戚寄过来的。照片里的人，虽未谋面却感亲切。

I told my relative that I'm very interested in the old village buildings because I'm an architect. He brought my parents and I back to the village in a taxi, and tried to get me into any house he could. Many people from this village had left for south east asia before WW2. The photos on the wall came from the south east asian relatives of this family.
