My bagpacker trip to China Hunan 2 days 1 night

I have a mission this time which is finding the place where my grandma born. I have nothing but an old address. I am not even sure whether there's still ppl live in that address. The only thing I know is that I want to do it, I miss my grandma, there is no lose for me to just give it a try, and its gonna be a great journey. 

You are the person I can say I love you without holding back.

I arrive the 長沙機場 Changsha Huanghua International Airport, and get a taxi (they call打Ｄ) to train station, then from train station buy the train ticket to Liling where grandma born. 

This is the train ticket from ChangSha to Liling at 21:00, by the time I arrive is 23:00 already. It's too dark to keep searching so I have to get a hotel to settle for tonight.

Great after I arrive, this taxi driver (打Ｄagain) help me find the hotel close to the address the most, but its too dark. I am exhausted from all the traveling. This is a rare night that I sleep without sleeping problem in a long time. Kinda feel like going to see my grandma soon :) It's a weird feeling. (even though I know she is no longer around)

The hotel where I stay:

Such an amazing hotel, isn't it?

There is nothing work in this hotel besides the light. The wifi is not working but they have wifi machine on desk; the TV is not working but they have it install on wall. What they for??

Inside and outside of the hotel are two totally different world. 

I found it :) I wake up early in the second day morning, check out, and get a scoter (打摩托車). In that place, you can pay ppl they ride you to the place where you want. 

I don't speak any dialect, but this rider so nice; he help me ask door by door and find the house where grandpa born. Turns out the address mum give to me is grandpa's house, not grandma's. 

wow.. I haven't see any of these for a really long time.

Family private photos that I don't want to share here, but I can tell you the story of my journey. At the end, I found the place where my grandpa born. I never seen my grandpa because he die early. The war damage his one eye and he die before my birth. My mum said I am a gift to grandma. Grandma was very sad for the losing of grandpa all the time so she decides to have me. So I am a blessing :)
In this village, I found grandpa's brothers. Even them only seen my grandpa twice in their life. The youngest bro past away by smoking too much. The second brother still alive :) I never know my grandpa is the eldest. They said grandma's house is also around but there is no anyone living there anymore.
