She recalled that the second day when she arrived in Suzhou, Meng Zhaoyuan came to the site of the Tower Park. At that time, he was 84 years old. Due to the ruminity of the mountains, his knee worn seriously and only relied on wheelchairs to travel.

"Meng Lao's hand is always holding a camera. Everywhere he goes, he takes a record record so that he can study it in the future." At the site of the Tower Studios, Meng Zhaoyi carefully observed each ancient tree, every piece of ancient trees, every piece of pieces. Shans and stones, with your own field inspection, obtained amendments to the designer.
