غرفة رقم 8 في مستشفى الأورام بمصر تعد أشهر الغرف الطبية التي جاء ذكرها كثيراً في أدبنا الحديث، حيث رقد بها الشاعر أمل دنقل في رحلته الأخيرة وهو يصارع مرض السرطان، ومن الحجرة نفسها تسللت عشرات القصائد لتخرج في ديوان حمل اسم الغرفة (غرفة رقم 8).
وهناك غرف عديدة في السجون والمعتقلات والفنادق والمنازل قفزت إلى الواجهة الإعلامية وتعرّف عليها الناس بعد أن قطنها أحد المشاهير، لتكتسب تلك الغرفة شهرتها من شهرة ذلك العلم أو المشهور.
ولأن لكل دولة رموزها الوطنية في جميع المجالات، حرصت كل منها على إبقاء ذكرى تلك الغرف كأثر تجمع فيه الأشياء التي استخدمها ذلك الرمز سواء كان ذلك عن طريق مؤسسة أو أفراد أو أهل الفقيد.. وتختلف الأهمية لدى كل دولة في إظهار الأثر الشخصي لمن حمل بلاده عبر إنجازاته التي سجلت كأثر وإرث إنساني..
وفي أوروبا تتم المحافظة على أي أثر للشخصيات التاريخية ذات الثقل الوطني في جميع المجالات حتى لو كانت شخصية تمثل الشر كما حدث مع هتلر وموسليني واستاليين.. وهناك أماكن أخرى تمّت المحافظة عليها كالمعتقلات أو ميادين النصر أو على المقاهي والحدائق والمنازل، فجميع تلك الأماكن تعتبر سجلاً تاريخياً يستأنس به ابن الحاضر والمستقبل، فكل ما تم تركه والمحافظة عليه يصبح تاريخاً يروى من خلال تلك الأمكنة، وقصصاً وحكايات ربما لا ترد في التاريخ الرسمي، ويمكن من خلال ما تم حفظه إضافة شذرات تاريخية وحكايات تضاف إلى ما هو مكتوب أو تؤسس إلى معلومة جديدة لم تكتب..
ولا أريد سكب اللبن في يوم قائض، وإنما عزّ عليّ أن تذكرت السنين العجاف التي مضت علينا تمّت فيها إزالة آثار إنسانية عظيمة، بعضها لا يمكن استرداده، ولم يكن مهماً أبداً المحافظة على أي إرث قرب أو بعد من تاريخ بلادنا، ونعرف أن الدولة حملت إرثها وجالت به العالم في معارض دائمة بين عواصم العالم؛ خشية أن يتلف من قبل عقليات أحبت الموت أكثر من الحياة.. الآن وقد صفا الكدر فليت هيئة السياحة تضيف على مجهوداتها إبقاء الأثر الإنساني لكل شخصية محلية قدّمت الكثير لوطنها، والفكرة ليست من الصعوبة بمكان فقط أن تتنبه لهذا وتشيع بين أفراد المجتمع شيئاً من هذا الإرث الإنساني الذي التصق بمنجزات الوطن قبل أن يكون إنجازاً شخصياً، ولأن فكرة الحفاظ على ما سبق من محفوظات لرموزنا الوطنية ارتفع سوقها التسويقي والسياحي، إلا أن هناك أمكنة وأعمالاً ارتبطت بتلك الرموز الوطنية لم يتم استغلالها وإضافة أفكار حديثة لتلك المقتنيات، وفكرة واحدة يمكن أن تنبثق منها أفكار جديدة وحديثة تضاف إلى مجالات سياحية يكون لبلادنا السبق في تأسيسها.

Room number 8 in the Oncology Hospital in Egypt is considered one of the most famous medical rooms mentioned frequently in our modern literature, as the poet Amal Dunqul lay there during his last journey while battling cancer. From that very room, dozens of poems crept out to be published in a collection named after the room (Room Number 8).
There are many rooms in prisons, detention centers, hotels, and homes that have jumped into the media spotlight and become known to people after being occupied by a celebrity, thus gaining fame from the notoriety of that figure or celebrity.
Since every country has its national symbols in all fields, each has made an effort to keep the memory of those rooms as a relic that gathers the items used by that symbol, whether through institutions, individuals, or the family of the deceased. The importance of showcasing the personal relics of those who carried their country through their recorded achievements varies from one country to another as a human legacy.
In Europe, any relic of historically significant figures in all fields is preserved, even if the figure represents evil, as was the case with Hitler, Mussolini, and Stalin. There are other places that have been preserved, such as detention centers, victory squares, cafes, parks, and homes. All these places are considered historical records that the present and future generations can relate to. Everything that has been left and preserved becomes history narrated through those places, along with stories and tales that may not appear in official history. Through what has been preserved, historical snippets and tales can be added to what is written or establish new information that has not been documented.
I do not wish to spill milk on a scorching day, but it pains me to remember the lean years that have passed during which significant human traces were removed, some of which cannot be recovered. It was never important to preserve any legacy, near or far from the history of our country, and we know that the state carried its legacy and showcased it around the world in permanent exhibitions among the capitals of the world, fearing it would be damaged by minds that loved death more than life. Now that the murkiness has cleared, I wish the tourism authority would add to its efforts the preservation of the human legacy of every local figure who contributed greatly to their country. The idea is not difficult; it only requires awareness and the dissemination of this human legacy among community members, which is intertwined with the achievements of the nation before being a personal accomplishment. Although the idea of preserving what has been archived of our national symbols has seen a rise in its marketing and tourism value, there are still places and works associated with these national symbols that have not been exploited or had modern ideas added to those collections. One idea can spark new and modern concepts that can be added to tourism fields in which our country can take the lead in establishing.
