This is Huizhou. I was born in Huizhou, and then grew up in Huizhou's culture. Then in 1984, I went out to serve in the military.
When I came back in 1999, I saw that the ancient building in Huizhou was slowly disappearing. Then my friend suggested that I spend some of my energy to collect and protect this disappeared thing so that it can be used or rebuilt in the future. I embarked on the road of protection of Huizhou ancient buildings, mainly because of my feelings for this piece of land in Huizhou.

In order to "rebirth" these ancient buildings and inherit their skills, he specially established Ancient building restoration company, let old craftsmen take apprentices.

Set up a company specializing in the training and training of ancient buildings (work), so that these old craftsmen can do a good job of "helping and guiding" and let these ancient buildings play new value.
