In the Peach Blossom Dock of Suzhou lived Tang Bohu

We know of the Four Great Talents of the South, and we know of Tang Bohu's 'Three Smiles at Autumn Fragrance', all from film and television works. In the place of Peach Blossom Dock in Suzhou, is the hometown of Tang Yin (Tang Bohu), where a cultural park has been built on the original site. Inside, it tells the story of Tang Bohu's life which was actually quite full of hardships, and in his later years he fell into poverty, turned to Buddhism, and became a monk, with no such affair with Autumn Fragrance at all. Of course, the historical Tang Bohu was after all a great talent of his generation, with high achievements in poetry, calligraphy, and painting, and was one of the 'Four Masters of the Wu School' during the Ming Dynasty. The cultural park also features the Wen Chang Pavilion, from the top of which one can gaze into the distance, framing the over 1700-year-old Beisi Pagoda and the 21st century's 'Gate to the East' of Suzhou Industrial Park, landmarks of ancient and modern prosperity, posing together through the passage of time.
