Resembles the view into the courtyard from Qing Emperor Kangxi's palace. Just imagine two Qing imperial guards standing outide the doors with their blue robes, red hats, and holding spears with red lace wrapped around the base of their blades.
Kangxi was the last great Emperor of China, unified almost all of the country, defeated two Mongol invasions, one in 1675 and another one in 1710. After his death in 1750, corrupt monarchs would open the country to Western imperialism, extortion, drug trade, and sex trade during the 1800s, followed by capitalist revolution in 1911, a devastating invasion by the Japanese Empire in 1937, finally a People's Revolution from 1946-1949, and the Communist Party finally established control and order again.
Makes me wonder, so many people sacrificed themselves to install a powerful Republic, Kangxi was the last greatest ruler until the People established an agrarian and industrial republic in 1949.
Tuberculosis Hospital is freaking scary
An interesting combination of serene and dilapidated and perfect in black and white.
