What happened here is similar to the genocide that is currently happening in Gaza. There is a place there is always a place like this in China, but this place is unique and vibrant. It has suffered repeated damage over the years.. and the most notable destruction was the 1937 ruins burnt to the ground by Japanese aggressors. But, most of the destruction was restored and today it’s a place admired for its ancient architectural style building of the Ming and Qing dynasties by thousands of people from across China and beyond.
