- More about The Sacred Clan
Wu Township is a hollowing out town, with its most capable sons and daughters having uprooted to fuel China's economic miracle. The ancient trees now sit in the shade of a modern aqueduct, and ordinary life carries on, but feuds between neighbors compound the burdens shared by increasingly ageing shoulders. The author wants to visit the town before it is all gone to see it before it is all gone.

Wu Township, once a bustling hub of activity, is now slowly emptying out. The once-capable sons and daughters of the town have left their birthplace on the central plains, seeking opportunities to contribute to China's remarkable economic growth. The ancient trees that once stood tall now find themselves shaded by a modern aqueduct, directing precious water to the bustling metropolises beyond. From the lively marketplace where gossip is exchanged to the abandoned execution grounds, ordinary life continues to thrive. However, for those who remain, the weight of feuds between neighbors only adds to the burdens shared by aging shoulders. Despite this, there is still a sense of tradition and hope within Wu Township. If one knows where to look, they may encounter the kind-hearted doctor or beauty store owner, or perhaps encounter the corrupt local official or even the spirits of executed ancestors.
My intention in visiting Wu Township is to witness its fading beauty before it disappears entirely. I am drawn to this place because of its unique history and the stories it holds. I want to capture the essence of this town and preserve it for future generations to appreciate and learn from. Wu Township is a reminder of the changing times and the sacrifices made by individuals and communities. It is a testament to the resilience of human spirit and the power of tradition. By visiting this town, I hope to gain a deeper understanding of the complexities of human society and the importance of preserving our cultural heritage.
