Memory story · made up to help you remember
“Knock on the door! Imagine the wooden door of a traditional house swinging open to welcome a guest. This radical represents the home, the private space of a household, and the act of entering or leaving a room. When you see it, think of the boundaries of a family, the protection of a dwelling, and the many stories that happen behind closed doors.”
