Next to Huanhua Creek in Chengdu, Du Fu built a thatched house and lived in it with his wife and children. This is the famous Du Fu Thatched Cottage, also known as Huanhua Thatched Cottage. In the following days, except for joining the army for several years after being recommended by others, Du Fu lived a rough and homeless life, which was quite miserable. We can see this from the famous "Song of Thatched Cottage Broken by the Autumn Wind".
