"The outside of Hongya cave looks historical, which makes it very outstanding while nearby a lot of skyscrapers. In this strong contrast between ancient and modern, it is reminding although the past is history, it is a cultural treasure inherited from my ancient, standing until now. Moreover, it is serving tons of people to entertaining and relaxing which makes it like a present given by our ancestors. That is why I name it "Past is present."
