Hidden deep in the mountains, there are only endless, winding ranges and long, flowing waterways.
Here, there is nothing but boredom — and nothing else.
The house was designed and built by myself shortly after I graduated in 2016.
It marked the beginning of my architectural journey.
Admittedly, it carries many imperfections, but I love it deeply.
In 2018, I also designed the neighboring house for my uncle.
Looking back, I have always believed those years were the most real and profound period of my life — youth well spent.
As the house was originally built for personal living, some of the rooms do not have private bathrooms.
After it was later adapted into a guesthouse, we gradually added various facilities to enrich the atmosphere,
including a projector, large-screen TVs for casting and movie watching, a meeting table, and outdoor equipment
such as camping gear, bonfires, and barbecue facilities.
In the summer of 2019, I gradually brought home a number of books, most of them bought by weight.
One day, a guest told me:
“Reading requires patience and solitude.
Books that are bought but never read are like distant stars — countless, yet unreachable.”
And so, for me, these books have truly become those distant stars.
You can rest assured about cleanliness.
All bedding and consumables are changed after every guest.
The surroundings are quiet, the air is fresh.
There is only the murmur of the stream,
the soft rustling of trees stirred by the wind,
and the joyful calls of birds in the early morning —
as if nothing else exists.
I believe you will sleep well at Magpie Homestay.
Looking back, I still clearly remember the emotion I felt when I first started this guesthouse in 2018.
At that time, I was shy and reserved,
instinctively keeping a distance from most guests,
yet at the same time deeply curious about them,
with an unspoken desire to connect.
Occasionally, when I met someone I could truly talk with,
we would find ourselves chatting late into the night without noticing the time.
We shared travels, films, and reflections on life,
and spoke freely about the future.
Everyone seemed so optimistic,
each carrying hope for tomorrow.
Time passes quickly.
It feels as though everything suddenly faded away.
To be honest, business has been difficult in recent years,
and as we grow older,
it becomes harder to easily hold onto that simple, pure sense of joy and fulfillment.
So here, I wish you eternal youth.
Thank you for staying with us.
And if anything was imperfect during your stay, I hope you can understand.

"Il popolo di gioia si trova nella città di Liang Jianqiang, a circa dieci minuti di auto dalla città, una prateria aperta davanti al cortile, naturalmente verde. La notte si possono guardare le stelle sulla prateria, bruciare il giardino. La finestra si apre al mattino per respirare aria fresca e far sentire il cuore della gente. La zona funzionale interna della popolazione è chiara. Ci sono sia una comoda zona pubblica per comunicare con gli ospiti per il tempo libero, sia camere private per gli ospiti garantiscono la tranquillità e il relax. La vita è confortevole e conveniente.Il giovane capo è un ragazzo scioccante, e il suo entusiasmo ospite ci ha lasciato una profonda impressione. Dal guardiano attento prima di stare, il sorriso caldo e il sincero saluto quando ci incontriamo, ci sento come se fossimo tornati a casa degli amici. Presentiamo la strada di gioco vicina, temendo che andiamo sulla strada sbagliata e andiamo in bicicletta con noi. Non solo ci consigliamo un ristorante economico, ma anche portare i bambini a prendere pesce e palla di pino, che fa caldo il modo di accogliere gli ospiti. Questa famiglia ci ha portato un'esperienza eccezionale, e la prossima volta avremo la possibilità di scegliere di nuovo di stare qui!"
