Rural folk
**************
Rural folk, is that the word do, that night we went to drink at all? Vaguely sensed that the future may never see you (at least in Beijing), the thought of that time in the annual gathering of rural folk may be the last time, and my heart on the pan and moving some strands slightest emotion is probably what people say, Sour bar.
It kept talking about going to Shanghai, I still did not go into the nest in Shijiazhuang, but added you walk in front of me. In Shanghai in your mouth, when I heard from time to time has been only a day to prepare for a future career to go places. Bu Zengxiang you would say stay away, leaving huge a Beijing think of you as my reasons and background.

At that time is a bar by the end of February, we met in the rural folk, when? I'll give you call, you say you are eating, I do not know why I think you are feeling is not high. Because if the usual, hear my voice, you will come back to a sweet: "Hello, Cui sister ~ ~ ~ are you here?" I love you with a southern accent in Mandarin. But that day you told me simply, you are eating. I said that I have to go first to a place to eat, eats dinner give you call. Later, I let you Let's take a ride somewhere, I said, I feel your emotions are not high, want you happy happy, you said it would go to rural folk bar.
Day in the rural folk, we are still attracted to the talk, as usual. Bit Coincidentally, when we met at work in exactly the same troubles. I met many like me to do sales people, but has the same right with my sales sentiment, the same values of the profession, to the views of many things in life have a resonance with my people, you still the first one. Day of drinking wine, we have also brings a natural to talk about their boss, their customers, their competitors, and acted in their own troubles, to share the life bit by bit, to work on the human's insights.
In fact, that day, we obviously talked about Shanghai, but also had a long talk a lot. But then, everything is still no clear, then Shanghai in your mouth, but only one possible direction, not to mention then you gave me sent a message and tell me things that worry have been successfully resolved. So I really think that next to Beijing will also see you as usual, and the same as before.

Sometimes I surprised that she can not withstand any or pursuant to such a heavy or light, or long or short the parting of the personality, why the are bound to frequently travel abroad or even to insist on the sale of work for so many years. Perhaps it was because no alternative Ye Hao, willing to bear the non-Ye Hao are non-life, so it is optimistic as far as possible to bear the bar. Well then, I have no way to take the one you have, without my "villa" in Beijing it?
Each time a business trip to Beijing will see you, and each time passing through Beijing will call you, in the past has become a habit? Not long ago, I even have to imagine a period of time after the first long-distance travel should be a rest stop in Beijing, in time I would like to let you properly re-hosted a welcome home for me, Jie Feng blast. You said you rented a small dwelling of their own is my house and told me to come do not have any time, polite, I am also very real from the not too polite to you.
With you, if Beijing is a term I can always stay in place, rather than even though previously been to Bai Bashi times, even if from the inside has always been very fond of non-heart close to the city. With you, I am not extremely familiar with Beijing on, but let me gradually into her confidant, familiar with her Ichii, perception of her kind. All this quiet state of mind conversion, actually want to come simply because when you describe this place more an attributive - Beijing Beijing is still the same, but it is a friend's place.
I am not a good friends who are not good at very quickly into a strange people, not good at, and a carefree I can not communicate with people too abstract to travel, no matter in what way, and his acquaintance. So, on reflection, Beijing has many, many of my acquaintances, friends of the University of a number of times the previous number is quite close colleagues, there are other ways through a variety of people who know and really let me go to Beijing on a find time to meet, or at least want to meet people, but very few. Strangely enough, as if destiny, so that some of a handful of friends, but one by one have disappeared from Beijing disappeared. Beijing also has always been ambiguous to me, as if to remember the ultimate addition to a few hotels and office name and location, and with no opportunity to really get close and familiar with, also have never in my mind to be a very warm feeling where there are friends, until you know and those horses faithful.

Go to Beijing is the first time in college, because that town to the home must be in Beijing, Wuhan, reversing a year passing through Beijing should have at least four times. But I never stay in Beijing before, because at that time reluctant to study the money for my parents used to play on, but also because of love at home, always on the road a very tight time pinch. At that time the only impression of Beijing is the late 80's early 90s mess of the Beijing Railway Station and its environs.
Feel real to Beijing, was 96 in the spring, look at a high school friend. Had never been seen has just quit a job, went to Beijing, a friend's home, worry-free to eat, drink for a week. At that time is really young and never had the slightest concern about their lives and the future. My friend and I teach you the day the banner plane Di World Park, to climb the Badaling Great Wall, to eat roast duck and pizza at night went to learn how to swim, Haidian swimming pool. Once finished swimming, take a while another friend's ride, get off at the North Third Ring Road on the foot of more than three hours back home, but also did not feel in tired.
At that time in Beijing with my school in Beijing than in passing, there feels like a great change. I seem to suddenly love Beijing, like the capital of generosity and grandeur, like everywhere in the capital of the vitality and potential opportunities.
However, like a kind of Beijing's favorite, always be the very superficial, because I worked with the city in fact never been a real emotional exchange, so as the capital of Beijing has been shrouded in my mind with a layer of small to most pregnant Some hazy mysterious and abstract sense of awe.

That returned from Beijing after Dalian, looking for work has given me the opportunity to often travel to Beijing, but also made me have a point of getting more familiar with the feeling of the capital. Almost always go to Beijing, I have to see that a good friend. Often she went to the hotel where I live, we eat together, live together, swim together, along with mini-refrigerator, they do finish all of the Coke Sprite longer check-out before running into the street to buy back fill, along with time to stroll Dashanlan, along with Tianjin pancake in the street to eat fruit, and go Quanjude points, we both love the Congbao duck heart, occasionally running a very important thing with the things that a friend was already a full-time wife.
When the capital was so deep in my time and time again in the streets and marketplaces of the visits gradually fade the strange and mysterious in nature, friends, but his family moved to a. Later we went to Beijing a business trip, they find no friends in Beijing, already with the past is different from Sang Sang manner made me feel very not used to.
Still remember the first time after a friend left Beijing to a business trip, international exhibition center is to look at 98 years of International Motor Show. To go down when you do not feel anything, to Beijing along with his one time to a well-known automotive magazines when the photographer's friends, let him help me to take admission in a press card free of charge, in the bustling crowd inside mixed for a long time. Out to become a person, subconsciously thought that secondary school friends called to give, hand subconsciously also followed from the backpack to work out a mobile phone, before he switched to remember that she had left Beijing. A person a taxi to work, shuttling the streets in the capital, Beijing is still 4 life faction, majestic beauty with each passing day, the airport edges, Sanlihe around the vicinity of Peking University is still a familiar scene, but everywhere is full of the strangeness of the space tidy.
At that moment, they would understand, I am familiar with Beijing, was originally just a friend of the place; friend's departure, Jiaran I cut off close to the capital.

That friend left about a year, I had to go to Beijing should be a time to see friends that I have a low college next school brother after graduation, first went to Tianjin, and later to Beijing. 99 the spring meeting in Beijing is our post-graduate in the second reunion, the first he had just graduated to Dalian to look for me to play.
Also remember that once I went to Beijing, travel schedules, the arrangements are very tight for two days one night, and because the reasons for the work of living in the Airport Garden Hotel near the airport. Friend's company and residence in the heart of a very distant, but still come to the airport before I left, and I met, and for me off. He first subway after work, after a taxi and spent two hours before the fast to the airport, I met him at the airport and carelessly slaughtered Chile Dun restaurant fast-food people went to a top university boarding time, two people together in time is not to 40 minutes.
Before I left my friend's cigarette case quietly go stuffing a hundred dollars to do the fare, as he was poor, just from Tianjin to Beijing, if not to meet me, but he categorically not willing to spend so much money on take a taxi.
Unfortunately, about a year later, a friend went to Japan, then, and I break the contact. Beijing also once again mercilessly pulled far away with my distance.
But I still have to frequently travel to Beijing, have witnessed a drastic change in the capital, still likes the capital is full of vitality and opportunity, also with a familiar feeling from the bottom of my heart empty yo unfamiliar.

Later, after a long time, the network I met in the capital of you, letting me know one after another to other friends. We go horseback riding together through the network, to mountain climbing, go skiing, go through the mountains in the remote places, to the ancient Great Wall climbing barren, but also went to different places to eat, to sing, to break down the way, to tea or playing cards, go clubbing listening to music. You make my home is no longer lonely, I feel the capital from another level, different kind of charm, let me have a whole new understanding of the network.
However, after all, come from the network, life, and from life into the heart to a friend, or rarely very few. And you are one of them is my closest one. Because you, I gradually began to close up with the capital, and accumulated from previous experience and feelings, gradually felt really familiar with the face of the capital, so that whether it is passing or a business trip are no longer feel that she is an alien city.
I remember the first time go to your home is that the end of September last year, at noon, you are wearing pajamas soft welcoming me into the room, his face is a bright smile. You give me get two dishes to accompany me to eat more rice, it was exquisitely dressed, pleasant to look at work, I own your home Daileyixia afternoon and night, not any wait for you to come back on the rush to the station . In fact, when you and I just know, that is my second time to deal with you. I like to treat people as a magnanimous of you.
Later, you became my villa there. As long as a business trip to Beijing, I almost always going to go there you live. I like the little I have many-year-old youth lively and considerate of you, it will be like and live with you to do anything, like to treat with you to enjoy the taste of their own to treat a friend.
Not forget your warm and exquisite boudoir, forget it always to my taste in music; not forget to go with you to do hair salon, not forget you are riding a bike set I 4 stroll; not forget to stay with you Yuyuantan blue Sunday, forget rolling road with you to eat a single Valentine's Day; forget every time you send me to the West Railway Station, I can always just drive three minutes before the Pro-catch the train, forget every times and do you have chatted about the feelings of our total sales have so many experiences resonate.
Now, it is such a you, but also to leave, left Beijing to Shanghai. The entry into and out of so many years out, is true that has made me familiar with the contours of the capital, to the front of this level; In addition to you, there is also a very real there are also some very good friends. But ah sister, when you tell you when to go, I still doubt not stop at the bottom of my heart, without you in Beijing, also remains as before Beijing? To know that I am the memory of the streets of Beijing, is with you, as a piece of broken bits scattered to do the chores while the composition呀.

This parting, in fact, as early as have the aura, because we together have more than once talked about the future direction of career and life direction, you have more than one occasion told me that Beijing is not your intention to long-term residence of the Department. In the rural folk that day, you say, a decade later to see if we have what kind of develop on that. Remember what I said, right? I say you would certainly be my great, because you more than I do a lot of youth. I like you so much time to do their own sales far without you so many insights, on his own life so far, as you mature insights. I am sure you will always been so good, whether in Beijing or Shanghai.
Yes, that day in the rural folk, we obviously talked a lot about the topic of Shanghai. But I really did not expect, that in my hands to write this text at the beginning there is a feeling of the rural folk, will eventually become a matter of fact our last meet of the office.
Very much hope to have any particular memorable case, making it meet with your last appeared very prominent, very impressed, but found that did consume at least one night in the bar is really no different. Taxi took me to the San Li Tun Road, call you, you say that rural folk in the South Sanlitun Road, let me stroll slowly past, because you are on the road's early yet; pointing along the direction of the security stroll, take a long time not find rural folk, to the face of approaching a handsome younger brother asked around and found a very warm-hearted way that handsome brother brings me to the door of the rural folk, but also along the same route back to the direction he should go; in rural folk up to the door yo Da, you came and I ran into both black greeted with a fairly articulate in English asked me if it is a person willing to accompany them a drink to my countryman Chiu Yi Leng, followed by a very cool way to turn them away a; then you came and chatted with us drink, along with the Chinese people to listen to that great band sang the United States is very authentic rural folk, rock and roll along with the sing Field of Gold, one does not pull together from start to finish to hear the At the end of the band; late at night a little more, we were out of the bar, you go home I am back to the hotel, a taxi separately because to go the opposite direction.
Wave to say goodbye, I did not expect that the future will be in Beijing do not see your shadow. You? You thought of going to Shanghai would be so fast to make the decision? You think of the rural folk to meet and is among the last time?
Many, many places, when I left, thinking that would be very easy to revisit; many, many people in my time to say farewell, thinking that would be very easy to say goodbye. In fact it? Often a different, probably a lifetime ... ... In retrospect, that day in the rural folk of the night is still nothing special, apart from adding to those in the bottom of my heart the feeling of impermanence of life parting.
Rural folk is a part of Sanlitun, Beijing is also a microcosm of rural folk. People in and out on the rural folk, like the people coming and going in Beijing, there are white, black and, as we have and the yellow people; Huang Lane, another northern accent, southern accent, authentic Jingqiang, and also Some said that Korean and I quite do not understand the Japanese language. Beijing mind accommodating the light and spacious with the flow of people from around the world, but also always been this colorful embellishment of people infected by the affected. Here, no one will be different because of accent and attract curious eyes, and no one will wear strange behavior, which bear the extra attention. You can do when you want to come to, nor do you want to go when you can go; you can make the group of foreigners as Ba Taiqian shake ah roll with the music, but also he can come sit in his place on the unscrupulous bullet crying ah sing; you can make love or a friend's ear biting whisper because there's adequate lighting and wine to create a romantic and freedom, but also he can come anyway, inviting voice yelling band noise enough to guarantee that you either curse, what kind of counter-revolutionary slogans will not be temporary seat to hear.
I love such an open capital, and only this point I am deeply infatuated with the capital, because this is what I do for all the cities in search of their dreams, as provided by the ranks of space. I also love such a headstrong rural folk, engaged in here, I will forget that their own living in a foreign land, because there are people from outside of local people and equitable sharing of the super-decibel rock and roll.
While the capital has her dignified history of sedimentation and deep cultural heritage, the great and heavy so I only put off because of admiration can not because they loved the close. For the first time the capital of a sudden give birth to more favorable impression of the moment, it was many years ago Dashanlan first exposure, in the flow where aimlessly move from time to time in different languages with different color of people pass by, unknowingly began Ham with a friend to use our mother tongue accent throughout the North Road, was no one to talk to them, trance even forget you are in Beijing. And later on getting to know and love the capital, but also because of the friends through the network, such as the vast majority of outsiders like you, you are active in all walks of life in all areas of the capital, but also took me to various parts of the capital across the various corner. Is the capital inclusive, tolerant and open mind so that she can afford to accept people from all sides, until finally I became a favorite place to have friends.
Now I understand, it is precisely because capital is so destined to be a people flow out of access into the place, it makes my friends one by one left there. If a person has a dream mind also determined to go flying, then nothing could hitch a people chase their dreams of walking, so nothing can stop an influx of capital, Beijing, dial-up wave of the flow of people, also nothing can obstruct waves after the waves pushed forward the flow of people toward a different country. Rural folk guests are also destined to keep on rotation.
***********
You go, and later in Beijing, I will have other friends? I hope so. In fact, I know that would be the case. However, you are gone, I still not stop to worry about, worry about the next to go to Beijing, they will have the kind of tidy air of strangeness in the bottom of my heart echoed.
Now I know I'll always love Beijing. Because without you in Beijing, will remain the capital of magnificent magnanimity; because without our rural folk, will still have a laissez-faire mood to rock. Just that Beijing for me, but also in the future for a long period of time, is no longer a place to have friends ... ...
