To keep or not to keep

I have found out one site which have been preserved is the Sun Yet Sen Nanyang memorial hall also known as Wan Qing Yuan. Wan Qing Yuan was built in the late 1800s and is a old villa which was commonly found in British Singapore back then. Wan Qing Yuan was where Sun Yet Sen used to live whenever he came to Singapore and it was there he established the Singapore branch of εŒη›ŸδΌš in 1906. I feel that preserving the place is a very good decision as it is now also a place where people  can visit to learn about Sun Yet Sen and serves as a reminder of the contributions of the Chinese pioneers of and their historical contributions to the 1911 revolution. In my perspective I find this very interesting and educating as it lets young people like me learn more about these history. I agree that these places should be preserved as after a school trip there last year I have learnt much about the revolution that I had not known about at all before. Also, we are also learning about some parts of the 1911 revolution in history and are going there for our historical investigation next week. If this place was not preserved we would not have gone to these place and not know about all these that happened earlier then. Thus I think the Sun Yet Sen Nanyang memorial hall should be preserved.
