It took three years to repair it; we built 20 buildings, one eight diagrams pass, one Huangya water pass, and the first museum along the Great Wall, the bamboo engraving hall, the unique forest of hundred generals’ steles and forest of hundred philosophers’ steles, and the forest of steles of Mao Zedong’s poem.
