In his day, Guo Moruo was an influential Communist author, philosopher and intellectual, but his work doesn't resonate with today's generation the way that some of his contemporaries' books still do. The real attraction of visiting his former home is the well-preserved courtyard, which gives you an excellent sense of how spacious and luxurious hutong life was before the overpopulation and crowding that began in the 1950s.
