Beijing, March 31 (Youth.cn) - On March 30, 2025, in Beijing, the historic courtyard of Qi Baishi's Former Residence Memorial was awash with vibrant crabapple blossoms, their delicate pink petals breathing life into the mid-Qing Dynasty architecture. The seasonal spectacle transformed the centuries-old compound into a living canvas of spring, echoing the poetic sensibilities of the legendary Chinese painter who once called this place home.
