My house I was born in China but I have spent most of my life in overseas. I love my country and I am proud to be a Chinese. I don’t have too much memories for my childhood in China. However, I have a deep impression on my house at my hometown in China. May be more accuracy I should call it a mansion instead of a house. I do not exaggerate the fact that my house was an iconic landmark in my village in the past, because of its massive size and elegance design. Back in the day, not many family could afford to build such an exceptional quality house. It was built based on the Feng Shui house criteria which means, it’s must have a hill or mountain behind for its background. In the front, it must have a river and the house setting has to look like an armchair for bringing all the positive energy into the house. My house had spot on all the criteria to let it stood out. In addition, once you visit my house, you will die for the panoramic view. Inside the house, from the main entrance it has a central courtyard to separate the front and back section of the house. In the side way, there are another section for individual family unit. Then in back section, there are two additional smaller courtyards with another individual family units. When I was little, I used to sit there to have a sun bath in the winter time. My parents would place my highchair in the middle of the courtyard and let me sat on the highchair with my toys or spent a whole morning in my courtyard to play with my pets under the sun. Up stair there is a huge living room attached with a veranda, I used to play hide and seek with my cousins upstairs when we were free. My family was not the only occupant lived under the roof, my second-degree relatives lived there to share the house with my family as well, because the house aimed to bring the extended family lived together. I cannot show you what my house exactly looks like, but I found a picture on the internet which is similar to my house as set out below: The roof above my house’s main entrance is similar to the top picture and the bottom one’s appearance is very closed to my house.
