Bamboo Apartments.

The painting depicted the atrium courtyard of the Spring Bamboo Apartments. Every corner seemed to be bathed in sunlight. Although it was a painting of olden times, it was very colourful. It made people feel good.

The courtyard was filled with warmth and cheer. There were children skipping rope and housewives picking vegetables or washing clothes. There was also a boy sitting in a corner of the courtyard, painting on a canvas. The image on the canvas was a giant stalk of bamboo. The boy was in the middle of adding the windows on the bamboo.

In the painting, there were also two older men playing chess. One was the gatekeeper uncle, Uncle Zhang. The other was Old Man Li Taiyong, who had a kind smile on his face. Next to the elderly man was Xin Miao, who was performing a ballet move with a sweet grin gracing her face. From:“Painting of Terror”
