I found my Grandfather's village in Taishan in Guangdong Province . My grandfather's house is still standing after 106 years. My grandfather built the four story house out of cement and it is still the largest house in the village.  Some one uses the house to store materials to make honey.   I  stood on the front balcony where my dad stood with his two brothers over a hundred years ago.  The house is derelict but has withstood the test of time.
