cimg1819.JPGThis doc dated 5/28/1996 certified the property my great grandfather owned since 1913 while serving as the governor.  He built this old style brick and tile 60-room+ compound on three acres of land.  I have long wanted to visit his garden compound in Jinan, that has converted into a public park in the 80s.  It’s a very popular site with the wedding pictures.  The story I heard from the grapevines is the communist government marched into town, family was half forced to vacant it as the temp gov headquarter, and sold it dirt cheap in the early 50s, including the furniture, paintings,.. etc.
