In April and May last year, I went to Wuzhen while I was back home. My ancestral home is Wuxi but I grew up in Shanghai. Before going abroad, I have never been to any water town or ancient town. Besides, these places became travel hotspots after I left anyway. Although I was warned before going that there will be a lot of people, when I really arrived I was still shocked by how crowded it was. Everywhere was blazed with lights, only after some photos were turned black and white then I felt some quietness and some shadows of Jiangnan from my childhood memory.
