Come a long absence, Beijing, in the vicinity of a hotel stay there Fuxingmen can not help Pingchuang overlooking the street have been familiar with shadow. That the capital-specific magnanimous demeanor, and an endless stream of cars, suddenly aroused 20 years ago for the first time walking through the streets of this famous scene, I think of when the mood, I think of memories of the city.
Beijing's understanding, as a child from the home, a travel guide on the start. That was the end of the fifties, when his father bought in Beijing, is a book devoted to Beijing. The above history of Beijing, there are monuments, there are old and famous shops, there are traffic hotels, there are folk tales, etc. in detail. Perhaps, this is my father thought to learn more about Beijing's state of mind, or is a commemoration, did not think this has become my perusal Beijing's doors. Also remember that the book light green skin, the middle of a North Sea Baita photos, the book is printed on yellow paper, in the middle there are many photo folder pages. Dad has been using this book, to have said of the magnificent Tiananmen Square, Kunming Lake rippling blue waves, Wangfujing and prosperity, as well as a similar kind of people duck boiled mutton guess the flow of saliva of the Cuisines. Therefore, in Beijing there is a small intimate feelings, warm longing. This is a long-established residents of Beijing people, stirring to make hard thinking to exhaust all of the imagination also appreciate not be done. So, when I was able to travel independently, when for the first time want to go, and go to places like Beijing, Beijing time to read your fill. Now, in my mind, is still preserved for the first time the thrill of mind came from the street.
Take to the streets to go from those that only the name remains the same, almost could not find any other traces of walking on the streets, in the constant search for the original scene in the mood to experience the feeling of Beijing. I do not know why, this rare bright skies, a kind of crisp freshness, but also some inexplicable sense of loss, some minor mysterious stranger. Walked slowly on the road, a strong sense of the years up: All in all, how like the street and away the traffic maneuvering flash, an instant disappeared. Times really are changing! In a few more than 30 days, the city, the roads lead to the street, must unless the twentieth century, into a completely new starting point. At this point, I'm like that antique walls, as there have been few of the old locust tree, quietly watching time passing on the streets too, as the traffic flow, in front of flash to go. Vibration of the vehicles at the foot of the street, to some trembling, I have some trembling, but also tired.
Scattered the mood, walked the streets aimlessly, head to a big mall. Thought, for the first time to Beijing time,'ve spent a lot of mall, has now become what it? With some curiosity into the mall, the visit has not come to this place.
For shopping, I do not feel little interest, though a beautiful pleasure. Usually buy things when the rush is always fed money to, from sales to buy things on their hands turned away and left, never looked one to the other counter. Not to say that China was so poor that there is no spectacle of shopping malls, even to the developed country counterparts are mall, I was still just a stroll from the streets. Because in my eyes, shopping is a stark trade, in addition is a complex decision, legs tired, tired heart.
Come here shopping, mostly more beautiful cardamom Love or instrument, of which there is no lack mentality of the old man quiet, such as the pool, everyone's face is a quiet, their eyes reveal where to find and thought, with unlimited imagination and assumptions, see share of stretch mood. I think they have not had to be able to buy what you want to what extent, but still will not change the U.S. pursuit of calculating the power of decorating themselves with the best of its ability, decorative life. In almost pungent balm cosmetics counter, the number of people want to retain or maintain youthful beauty; in numerous clothing booth, how many people leave thinking about their own chic and handsome; in those furniture, handicrafts as well as bottles and jars in front of the number of people looking forward to the strains of life movement. Shopping, how magnificent reverie!
I asked myself: Years can be purchased do, and youth can purchase do, beautiful you can buy? If so, I will give it everything in exchange for my old days, even those years a few days, a few hours, re-released I should glory. But not, to whitewash the old heart not cover wrinkles, clothing no longer active in the footsteps of the United States to show. Is it not reasonable years is the case do?
In actual fact, the years can indeed walk-in. Life has the most valuable asset is undoubtedly time. Life is also like shopping, ever pay a life of wealth, want what they want. Honors Ye Hao, status Ye Hao, money, Ye Hao, joy or might have, without exception, this is the case, although some unscrupulous. People are always exhausted, about to run out of life, he found the ever-present and your years of checkout, and you spend the liquidation. Some met, and some regret, others only regret. Did not expect, like life and shopping, are choice and every decision that is right all the other abandoned.
Thus clearing about young people, found that as adults if a child has got it wrong, wrong, like soy sauce. The original hope, no idea where to go, holding in their hands that looks like soy sauce, vinegar, sour the mood. Only now understand that in life there will be viewer is not aware of loss and regret as much as, but not as primary as to use eraser. Suddenly felt that I was spending years, she begins with a gold photocathode, such as the procurement of chopped continuous memorable years, there are beautiful, of course, also some shortcomings, but the defects can not be returned as a commodity-like.
Settlement of the youth, middle age is determined to no longer be crossed without hesitation. Although aware of this, or gains and losses, there will be a lot of regret, can be bent with the years of contract, even years of suffering in the agreement itself. To pay, it should be hard work and perseverance, think of it is full and no regrets.
Beijing, please testify.
