Suzhou is good, turnip water planted chicken head, glistening every suspicion of beads ten dendrobium, soft incense partial milk full ou, fine peeling small court ghost. --Shen Chaochu
When it comes to gardens, we have to mention Suzhou, Suzhou's gardens are world-famous. In other parts of China, there are also gardens, but never like Suzhou, a city famous for its gardens. The number of gardens in Suzhou as well as the delicacy of the gardens are incomparable to other regions. Almost everyone who travels to Suzhou does so to experience the charm of its gardens.
Shen Chaofang, a poet of the Qing Dynasty, did the same, and wrote a special song Remembering the South of the River to describe the exquisite elegance of Suzhou's gardens. After a big money in Anhui came to Suzhou to visit the gardens, it left a very deep impression on the Suzhou gardens, and after returning to Hefei, Anhui, this big man was ready to build one of the largest private gardens in Anhui, and he also wanted to be famous in the history of the world. Unfortunately, the big man ended up absconding with the money to Canada, and now the largest garden has become an unattended rotten building.
The trip to Suzhou planted the seed
Liu Chuan-sheng is a native of Hefei, Anhui Province, and is also well known in the region. Relying on years of hard work, Liu Chuan Sheng also saved a lot of capital, money, began to invest in a variety of companies, and this also makes Liu Chuan Sheng in the local fame and prestige, but not the average person can compare, can be said to be in Hefei, Anhui Province is considered a dignified character. It is reasonable to say that there is money and status, Liu Chuan Sheng should be contented, and so have been living, not to make people envious.
However, a trip to Suzhou, Liu Chuansen's life was completely turned upside down. Liu Chuan-sen a visit to Suzhou gardens, Suzhou gardens of exquisite luxury, elegance and grandeur attracted. Most of the owners of these gardens were wealthy merchants, and with the fame of the gardens, they also used to be the palaces of ancient emperors.
After visiting Suzhou, Liu Chuan Sheng was sleepless all night, and he always dreamed that if he could have a garden like this, it would be so good. If this garden can be like the garden of Suzhou, the fragrance of a hundred generations, for future generations to visit, and how satisfying it is.
The Chinese people's pursuit, in addition to money and status, pay more attention to the afterlife, if you can leave a name in history for ten thousand generations, that is more beautiful and happy, Liu Chuansheng also think so.
Not only did he think so, Liu Chuan-sheng also did so, and he decided to make himself famous for generations to come, is in Hefei, Anhui Province, to build one of the largest private gardens in China's history. After years of capital accumulation, Liu Chuan-sheng's ambitions began to swell, and he believed that with his own assets he would be able to build such a garden.
Dreams put into practice
When Liu Chuan Sheng's capital accumulation reached a certain level, he began to prepare for the construction of the largest garden ever made, and named the private garden the Mo He Yuan. In order to make the ink lotus garden and suzhou garden comparable, Liu ChuanSheng not a lot of effort, he spared no effort to visit and garden design related designers, but also constantly looking for experts to build the garden of the argument.
However, in this process, Liu Chuan Sheng has been constantly hitting the wall. Many experts have told Liu Chuan Sheng, ink lotus garden construction, not he Liu Chuan Sheng can do. But Liu Chuan Sheng did not listen to the discouragement and was bent on having his own way. After looking at the blueprints planned by some designers, he was convinced that this goal could be realized.
In 2003, the construction of the Ink Lotus Garden began. This is in Hefei City, Anhui Province, at the northwest corner of the intersection of Bagongshan Road and Gaotang Lake Road, covers an area of more than 200 acres, the largest private garden, in the first day of construction ushered in the attention. At that time, Liu Chuan Sheng was ambitious, in terms of the area of the ink lotus garden, it is enough to match the total area of the top ten gardens in Suzhou, enough to see the determination of Liu Chuan Sheng.
However, Liu Chuan Sheng's wealth, after all, can not be compared with the ancient rich and powerful merchants. In the construction process of the garden, Liu Chuan Sheng used almost all of his company's funds, the total investment in the ink lotus garden has been more than 250 million. These are still a drop in the bucket for the ink lotus garden.
In Liu Chuan Sheng's mind, he wants to repair the ink lotus garden is not just a private garden, but after the completion of the garden can be put into use for tourists to visit the garden with the nature of the scenic area. Therefore, the garden's related facilities and a series of planning includes catering, entertainment, calligraphy, folk art and so on.
The entire investment down far from 250 million to solve the problem, Liu Chuan Sheng in the process of construction, and constantly through the bank credit as well as private loans and other ways to raise money for the project. However, the huge return on investment is difficult to realize in the short term, which will make Liu Chuan Sheng built by the ink lotus garden will face a shortage of capital chain problem, this problem will soon be exposed.
Rotten heartache
When the wheel of time to 2008, when the global financial crisis broke out, Liu Chuansheng invested in major companies, are facing bankruptcy. This makes Liu Chuan Sheng no funds to run the ink lotus garden, and he borrowed a variety of private loans and bank credit can not afford to pay back, the huge interest will be Liu Chuan Sheng pressure breathless.
This once in Hefei, Anhui Province, a dignified figure, in the absence of a way out of the situation, all of the assets under their own banner also sold, the ink lotus garden also became a boss surnamed Qin all things. What is saddening is that Liu Chuan-sheng will sell the company's funds, and not used to repay his debts, but to carry the money fled to Canada, became a famous local scoundrel.
With Liu Chuan-sheng's departure, Moho Garden has finally become a rotten building. Originally intended to be able to in a short period of time, put into use the ink lotus garden, became the best vision of the people of Hefei, Anhui Province. In theory, when Liu Chuan Sheng wanted to build a largest private garden in Hefei, Anhui Province, is to make the Hefei people feel proud, but also excited, at least they do not run to Suzhou to see the garden again.
In order to be able to make the Mohe Garden one of the most famous and big landscapes in the area, some other local investors also started to make investments around the Mohe Garden. The construction of neighborhoods around the Mohe Garden and the construction of commercial streets are also aimed at making a profit from the opening of the Mohe Garden. It's been 17 years since construction began, and no one would have thought that the final result of the Mohe Garden would be a rotten building.
Even if the park becomes a rotten building, the landscape is still very beautiful, at least some of the buildings in the park, is already initially completed, living in the park around the Hefei people will often take a walk around the park. Especially in the winter, when the ink lotus garden is covered with snow there are many people think that the ink lotus garden landscape is quite beautiful.
With the departure of Liu Chuan Sheng, the new owner of the takeover, the ink lotus garden can be reopened, can again continue the glory, is the whole Anhui Hefei people look forward to, but also some tourists heart want. People hope that the future of the ink lotus garden, no longer some security personnel in the guard, and no longer closed walls, but really open to the outside of a famous landscape.
