The Ancient Skyline
China Skyline
China Sky
Looking up into the sky in Tianjin, one could hardly see the ancient skyline anymore. Most part of the old town disappeared in the ashes of history. The modern development is an unstoppable force. When you pass by the ancient part of the town, it feels to close yet so distant. The past has long gone and it’s more of an idea than real emotional attachment. The symbol lost its meaning.
I was born and bred in Tianjin, China. I have spent recent few years out of China. People living overseas long enough know: you can never go back home. Tianjin changed so much during the last few years, every time I go back home, it makes me few like a traveler. I set up this blog to tell stories about my beautiful hometown. It's history, architecture, culture and people.
