Upon seeing Tom was curious about the well preserved Chinese buildings, his uncle, who was present at the boy’s birthday party, decided to set sail for China together with him, as well as Tom’s parents. Shortly after they arrived in China, they began to know that the boy’s curiosity resulted from a book, which had something to do with Marco Polo, a man known as a famous Italian explorer in the thirteenth century. The family travelled across the country, only to find there were more modern buildings than traditional ones in China. What I learned from their story is that we should do more to preserve our culture.
