Heartbreaking! A relentless torrential downpour nearly destroyed a thousand-year-old ancient village in Putian, Fujian. Founded during the Tang Dynasty, Xiagao Village 莆田霞皋村preserved numerous historic structures from the Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties. Tragically, many of these ancient buildings suffered severe damage in the storm. We hold onto hope for their future restoration and rebuilding. 🌸
