16th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
34 N 2nd St

Fanjiabu Village has been in ruins, by the end of 2016, villagers had all moved out and nearly all rural buildings had been demolished. I was born and raised in this village. NO.34 Second North Street was our address. I wasn't there when our house was being torn down. For me, who has always been far away from hometown, the whole village turned into ruins overnight.
