If you don't take any action, then you will lose everything that was so important. What would you do? A 96-year-old resident of Taiwan has found a brilliant way to solve this problem, and now people from all over the world want to get to know him and see his house.
96-year-old Huang Yun-Fu, a retired soldier, saved his native village from demolition with his creativity.
At one time, there were more than 1,200 houses in a village near Taichung, which the government temporarily provided to military personnel.
Over time, most of the residents left, and developers gradually began to buy up land.
There were only 11 houses left in the village, but their owners refused to move, among them was Huang Yun-Fu.
Bored in retirement, Huang Yun-Fu became interested in fine art, and soon his work went beyond his own home.
The village has been transformed so that it has become one of the main attractions of Taichung.
The authorities were forced to reconsider their decision to demolish the village.
Maintaining rainbow beauty requires a lot of strength and energy, but the pensioner is sure that he will draw at 100 years old.
The village resembles a fairy tale, the life force of which is Juan.
Every day a man wakes up at 3 o'clock in the morning to start drawing. The most amazing thing is that Yun-Fu has never been a professional artist: at the age of 3, his father showed him how to draw, but he did not study at art school.
Tourists lovingly call Juan "rainbow grandfather" — a suitable name for a bright creative personality.
