My Old House Site

My family lived in a small village when I was a child, where people farmed to make a living.

Years later, my siblings and I all left that village and worked in cities. During the time we were away, my father and mother passed away.

The house we used to live in was still there, but it was really shabby compared with other families' newly built houses.

According to current Chinese policy, to own a house in the countryside, people should be members of the rural collective economy, which means you have a piece of land in a village and engage in farm work for a living.

Since we moved to cities to work for the government, we lost our land at that time. Although our old house is still there,

Officially we have no right to renovate our old house. However, we cannot bear the thought of losing our house site.

I have been wondering if I can renovate our old house. Even if I can, there must be a lot of work that needs to be done in advance.
