The shape of the building is based on the shelter in the earthquake-stricken zone; it was a commonplace during the rescue. On the outside, the walls are plastered in the vernacular way. On the inside, the walls are painted in pink color - Hu Huishan's favorite color - and decorated with the remaining items left from Hu. The light through the skylight brighten up the space and makes it pure and delicate. The memorial is not only for Hu, but also for every ordinary life killed by the earthquake.
