9 days, the old train station designer Mr. Fischer's granddaughter and her husband to the JiNan Railway Station. Here, they saw the house that grandpa once built and lived, and the grandfather's first son, Herbert Fischer, was born here. Fischer started a new page from here, Sylvia said.
old house has been
to office space
more than 200 meters to the east side of the old train station in Ji'nan, two western style small buildings East and West, located between residential buildings, red tiles and yellow walls glass windows, window frames painted green. Sylvia said, according to his grandfather's photo, this is the house he built in Ji'nan that year. At present, the house has become an office space. Beside the steps on the east side of the small building, the plaque of the Shandong railway protection association is hung.
in the picture exhibition of the mountain building, an old photo of West Asia has been displayed. There are many windows in the house, the roof has chimneys, the roof should be the tip of the attic and a small ventilation window. Mr. Fischer was standing in front of a house in a dark coat. From the picture, the outside of the house was surrounded by an iron fence. There was a hollow space in front of the house. There were no other buildings around it. The trees were all trees, but the leaves had withered. From Fischer's clothes and the trees, it should be in winter.
her uncle
was born in
Sylvia excitedly pulled her husband to help reporters take photos. She said that when the small building was equipped with furnaces, bathroom, bedroom, etc., she pointed to the window on the two floor, which was the bedroom of grandfather and grandmother. In those days, my grandfather's first son, his uncle, was born here. But according to the old picture, according to the old photograph, the attached part of the building was not built by his grandfather, and a glass house was built on the west side of the building on the wall. According to the people of his hometown, it was made by the Japanese.
stands on the west side of the house a saponin tree, nearly one meter in diameter. Is this tree planted by his grandfather? He is very interested. But the reporter asked the surrounding citizens, they said, the tree was very old, and did not know how many years, "to understand the details, you have to ask the elderly over 70 years old."
Sylvia said there is a saying in Germany: build a house, plant a tree, and give birth to a child. So she thought, maybe this is what grandfather and grandmother planted by themselves. She and her husband picked up the fruit from the ground with interest. She said she had never seen such a tree in Germany and tried to go back and plant it.
the grandparents take the new journey from
another very similar style of small foreign building located on the west side of the west side, the door number is No. 5 Station Street, here is now the office of the Tobacco Monopoly Bureau of the Ji'nan Railway Bureau of the Provincial Tobacco Monopoly Bureau. The West Asian couple walked into the small building. On the first floor, the offices were very modern, but the brown European railings were still in. The staff said the decoration was in place, but the basic pattern was not changed. Only the two floor had separated a large house into two.
the whole building is two stories above ground level, and the third floor is like a lofty space in the attic, which is not used. After seeing these things, Sylvia said, this may well be a grandfather's work, but it's not yet clear. I hope people who know it can provide more clues.
when she wants to leave here, she is reluctant to leave, she pointed to the small building, and said the building meant a great deal to his family. "We are here to open a new page." Later, grandparents also embarked on many meaningful journeys from here. This time she came to Ji'nan to experience these things, she was very happy, and at the same time, she also saw things and thought of her elders.
