In January, the 2021 water level of the Xixi Reservoir in Ninghai County, Ningbo City, Zhejiang province, dropped due to persistent drought, exposing houses that had been flooded during construction of the reservoir. To meet the needs of reservoir construction, villagers moved out from the reservoir area in 2003, settled down outside the reservoir area to start a new life. More than 10 years later, heard that once lived in the house again, the family after the reservoir management department agreed to take a speedboat to the old house in front of the photo, to make up for moving without the image of the regret. With the restoration of the water level, the old house again submerged in the water, the former home once again become the memories of the villagers.
