Today, the New Year at the beginning of the first three days, I finally went to that I was where she had been a long time ------ the town of White Deer Church. It was a real church, one has been long forgotten by the world church, a church in the United States a little incomplete ... ...
Know that there are so Pengzhou a church from a magazine, just to see the time, there is a kind of impulse to want to go, and finally in today's trip, and then bring magazines, about the friends, hit the road, not for anything else, only In order to find the dream church.
First stop: Chengdu ------ Pengzhou
Sit to Pengzhou car, feeling very relaxed, this is a day of trouble say no, really, nothing to think about the feeling also真爽, along the way we are laughing, and that they sing, and each spoke their own travel anecdotes, attracted eyebrows inside view of everyone, possession, he does, today's task is only one: happiness is like! There is a saying how to say, and go its own way, let people say go. Under the fog outside the car the more the greater the driver intends to slow down the speed, of course, the scenery outside the window was shrouded one, but the car scene so good, I believe!
Second stop: Pengzhou ----- White Deer town, after about a half hour drive, we arrived at Pengzhou, followed by transfer to the White Deer town, so at the Pengzhou is also under way with the fog days, has finally started to clear up, the sun showing its long-lost smile, days became clear blue up, beautiful, really! Perhaps it is a welcome us, but also the way of song and laughter, fast cars approached the town of White Deer.
In the car met an enthusiastic big sister, she is White Hart villagers in the town, one heard that we are to go to College (local so called, is the church). She was excited, endless to tell us today the town is also being met, "is speeding up," it can be fun! Right in saying that we are gearing up to try it's like, I hope for quick reach. "The White Deer Township What's fun?" I asked. "Living to." Sister honest smile and said. Indeed, as the journal said, the White Deer people are warm and hospitable, and unconsciously, cars into the White Deer Township, entered the market the way it is quite lively, sell what are, though not as good as anything on the city grade, but a wide range of bar pretty everything. The most special is that we actually hear the currently most fiery idol drama "Meteor Garden" theme song, coincidentally stir, can not think of such a remote town is now also "fashion" again. Then about 12 am, and stomach began to protest to us, and accompanied by singing, we walked Jingzhi Chao restaurant, a small town on the food very cheap, three of us, it spent 6.5 yuan, and eat a full, potatoes in a large bowl Sheng burned ribs, only 2 yuan a really good deal, meal eating and drinking, if you ask the specific location of the church, along a gravel covered with the mechanized farming Road, we began to move toward the church embarked , Are you ready? Let's go!
Third stop: White Deer Township ----- Church on our side to sing while walking, feeling really good, days are blue, the heart very happy! Speaking of singing, but also a lot of fun, at the beginning, each sang, but then think it is not unified, there is no momentum, like a long time, he never imagined that a three will be singing, they simply sang the national anthem, "Rise, do not want to be slaves ... ... "In fact, I've never tried to sing the national anthem in this case, we will ask feeling Well, it is high! In this way, walk about 20 minutes, but also not see the shadow of the church, asked the asked people, never thought of actually asking a shortcut to a shortcut heard, we have suddenly come to a spiritual, as odd afternoon heat, so we walked down jacket dress, plus 3-hour car ride is really exhausted a. Indeed worthy of the name the shortcut, a wide tractor-plowing Road, suddenly became a narrow winding path, walked a few slices of the land, downhill uphill toss several times, and finally, in the emergence of the church not far from the "shadows." Vaguely, the able to distinguish it with the surrounding buildings very far apart, a little Western flavor. At that time, has no air force us forget the fatigue, exclamation up, as is found in the desert oasis-like excitement, feeling the body's blood boiling once again up, speed up the pace, close contact with bar!
Our three-step and make two steps forward, straight to the church away from a wooden door to enter, did not walk a few steps before it came to the church. Although the church in front of dilapidated, but still gives people a sense of the sacred dignity of the momentum still exist. Covered with weeds along the ladder Climb the stairs and went outside the front door, looked up and the door clearly engraved on the eaves 1908, according to magazine said, this is the church's completion time, time is also inscribed with some of the above English letters, "SEMINARIUM ANNUNTIATIONIS", will be in this church name? Inside which the Catholic saints, or the name of? Positive thinking, but found the door locked, glanced through the window frames look inside, really there are many special buildings, but not very clear to see, how should we do? Turn! Coincidentally the three of us blurted out, and now we totally do not care what the image problem, there is a non-determination until the goal is reached, carefully examined some and found no available into the office, and later feel a little wrong, even if we disregard image, here was once a church, the main act will not forgive us, and say if a moment's inattention and which destroyed the root wood, but also drop a vandalism in the name of, well, the more the story and then think about being At this time, even walking a little girl, we are suddenly the spirit of Da-Zhen, almost doubt that she is the main sent, it came up asked were lucky, from her mouth we know that the key to paying the villagers in a surname hands, then went straight to his house away. This is a typical farm old house, the door Shuanzhao a big black dog, met with us, call non-stop, pranced, scared me half to death, when out of an old man, surely he is us looking for Fu Bobo, and approached explained what he wanted, the Fu Bobo we entered the room a very warm invitation to sit, so we are flattered, (based on past experience, most people would guard the door ferocious xx) is not his house, the middle of a very dark hall adorned with a portrait of the Virgin Maria, it seems he is a Catholic. After, we will be guided by Fu Bobo went to the church.
Along the way, we are walking and chatting church, listening to Fu Bobo said the church began building in 1895, after 13 years, completed in 1908, is designed by the French, the locals built. That door just to see the letters on the canopy is likely to be French, so I thought. The church was built in the invasion of China during the Boxer Rebellion, when the summer vacation as a place where foreigners, but also repair the church warm winter and cool in summer and place the piece, but I do not know why, I always feel that the construction was not only because of these, history on this fault, time can not turn the clock back, we may no longer be able to know more than one hundred years ago, the real reason for people to build it, the essence of history may be in this bar, only attracted countless people to explore and pursue.
Not long after, the church is up, open the doors of that dusty, has a shuttle back to the feeling of space and time, and instantly, a magnificent Western architecture headline, surely it is the door of Notre-Dame, and the door and buildings between the hall the size of a basketball court, an empty dam, overgrown with weeds, so were in the two rows of Western-style two-story high buildings, it is really not difficult to imagine how 100 years ago, the glory, in the end look like it ? Still present in such a remote mountain village, suddenly erected a so magnificent Western-style architecture, will bring more people then what? Stood there, I Huangruogeshi, afford to think about.
"Let's go upstairs and see." Followed by Fu Bobo to the second floor, a number of castles in the air feeling, because a lot of wood has been broken, we are sometimes in these rooms without walking the plank, taste history left us things. Fu Bobo from time to time to tell us that piece of wood can be trampled, piece of not, with his guidance, we are very comfortable to walk on it.
Look around and found every thing here: Whether the floor, windows, or walls are covered with traces of the years, giving a kind of empty feeling. There are many small rooms on the second floor, I think Christians have in the past may be the room bar, and later in the church as the school period students dormitory, the hill behind the church hence the name, called "School Hill."
Along the corridor comes to an end, a word on the board attracted our attention, which is probably the lack of conservation awareness in addition to those who graffiti outside the church, the only Chinese bar, three words: Female East pool, is what? At this time, Fu Bobo smiled and told us that that is the toilet, I was shocked, did not expect that here, even the "toliet" name have made it poetic, but it is the origin of that? Puzzling, there are always things that the church so that we can think of source is, wild shot for a while, down to the downstairs, slowly approached the main building of Notre Dame, the brain has repeatedly imagined it once looked like, like It is this century with the vicissitudes of the weather-beaten years, said it had also experienced a fire disaster, but on many occasions being the destruction, so now would seem so old, at this moment, what to say, as everyone was a little pale, churches Like a wind last days of the elderly, it is based stand in the wind, the lonely and helpless, not knowing what will happen tomorrow ... ...
Suddenly, touched the hearts filled with inexplicable burst, like the church, like many things, there is no source is, maybe history is such that stuff will always be left to its children and grandchildren what to think about them. Imagine if Christians were not removed at that time, the church will now look like it? White Deer town, they look like then? These are unknown.
Also in 1998 the town built a new church on the scale of view, how can compare with the old church, but now Christians were all there to pray, and we pass the time, but also saw a lot of elderly people in the church door clinics, and I think maybe this is before the impact of leaving the church in the town bar.
The time to leave, and some very fond memories, this having left the church and here from the good honest people, Fu Bobo also tells us that next year, the Government must Pengzhou renovation of the church and let it reproduce the elegance of, say this, that he was very excited, and repeatedly invited us to come back, I think, we will return.
In the dusk, I returned to the hustle and bustle of the city, returned to the intense pace of life, but a heavy heart but many are satisfied ... ...
