Mud Houses
Written and photographed by Lin Hsin-Chen

I was surprised to see a “mud house” located on the corner of the lane in downtown Tainan.
Long time ago,those ancient houses were perfectly preserved.
 
It reminded me of the old one in Touyuan when I was getting married.
It has been renovated for several times; there are lots of noticeable repairs on it, more realistic than a movie…
It has remained many tender feelings from one generation to another.
You will feel cold in summer and warm in winter if you live in this kind of house;
only to avoid floods in case of rainy days.
 
Unexpectedly, I saw a house which was built with mud and bamboo sticks.
The cordial emotions came up to me all at once.
