I was born in this historically and culturally rich hometown of Lung Yeuk Tau, but I grew up abroad. Every time I return here, it feels like stepping into a world where time has reversed. Every brick and tile here tells a story of the past. The old walled village, situated on the mountainside, stands with its majestic blue brick walls, seemingly narrating tales of repelling pirates. The steps in front of the village gate are cleverly designed as a defensive position, making it difficult for enemies to attack. The small holes and high platforms on the walls were used to monitor outside movements, ensuring the villagers' safety. Such intelligent architectural designs leave me in awe of my ancestors' wisdom. Passing through the ancient gate, I see orderly houses with winding paths paved with blue stones. Not far away, the grand ancestral hall—Song Ling Tang Gong Hall—showcases our family's long history. The exquisite wood carvings and murals inside the hall reflect our family’s glory and traditions. Beside the ancestral hall stands the Tin Hau Temple, with its red walls and yellow tiles radiating a sacred atmosphere. The ancient bronze bell inside tells of countless pious wishes, as if feeling the divine protection. The surrounding statues of the Earth God and the Goddess of Heaven further immerse me in the rich local beliefs. When I step into other walled villages like Dong Ge and Wing Ning, I can still sense the vigor of their long history. Although many walls are now damaged, I can still imagine the tense scenes of repelling pirates. The altars and other structures make me feel the sincere hopes of my ancestors for wealth and success. As I stroll through this culturally rich land, I can almost feel the footsteps of my ancestors and the vitality of this home. No matter where I go, my roots will always be here—in Lung Yeuk Tau.

She moves through places time forgot, Where iron bleeds and hinges rot. Most would turn and walk away, But love, you choose to stay. You run your hands along the rust, Not with disdain, but quiet trust. You do not flinch, you do not fear— You know that beauty lingers here. A broken chain, a weathered nail, A lock long lost to rain and hail— You lift them up, you see their worth, You press them back into the earth. And love, I watch—I always do, Not just the work, but all of you. How in your touch, the wreckage glows, How even ruin somehow knows. That rust is not the end of things, But proof of all the time they’ve seen. That love is not untouched, unscarred, But something worn, yet standing hard. So if I break, if I erode, If time should wear me to the bone— I know with you, I won’t decay,
