Well, one object that passed down through generations in my family would be a garden. Uh, it’s beside our local mosque and my great grandfather usually uh, bought.

Well, one object that has been passed down through generations in my family would be a garden. It's beside our local mosque, and my great grandfather originally bought it. So far I've heard that my great grandfather bought this from a local wealthy person. So he used to take care of it as it's beside our mosque. So when he used to go to the mosque to pray, he went there and spent some time taking care of the flowers there. And then he passed it down to my grandfather, who actually turned this garden mostly into a family-oriented village vegetable field. So even when I was a child, I used to go there and pluck different kinds of fruits and vegetables from there for our family purposes. And then recently, my father actually planted several big trees around the garden, which includes eucalyptus, mango trees, and also several kinds of fruit trees. I don't recall right now. And as I am living outside my village right now for my study and research purposes, I don't see that garden quite often. But I actually remember so many things about it. And whenever I return to my village, I go there, spend some time, and sometimes water the trees. Or even my mother used to pluck fresh fruits from there and cook for me, which I actually enjoy quite a lot, especially with fish from our ponds. So yeah, I think it's a valuable asset because there are a lot of memories associated with this place, and once it was a garden and turned into a family fruit and vegetable place. So that's why I think it's a valuable part of our family.
