Perhaps the reference to his hometown, when the total is difficult to control people's emotions. Whether you leave the home for many years, how far, whether you like it or not, his hometown for you than any Shangri-La is a spiritual home. The more often you leave a long time, you have vague memories of those who were more eager to scenery and characters.
In the online and cousin talking about she was going to Zhouzhuang, I said for us this long for people in the Yangtze River Delta, Zhouzhuang scenery may be nothing special.
My home is a Yangtze River Delta do? Time to think about this carefully, as if they are not. My home look and Zhouzhuang and Wuzhen Xitang, and it seems not the same. Home is accompanied by water, but did not thin around the around the house accompanied by a small river by. Hometown bridge, but it is two stone bridges, one is old, worn-out they are not repaired because it is almost historic, it was like for the locals is the origin of the town witnessed the town, and not many people go to small study clearly history. In the ancient hills, and under the ancient pagoda; another bridge is the town to connect the two main urban areas, east of the river and Hexi.
I lived in the east of the river, all the relatives and shops, hospitals, entertainment, and even bigger vegetable market in Ha Tay. This bridge that resulted in my memory is essential, and particularly deep impression. On vague childhood memories, as if the shuttle had this bridge 10 million times, and even mentioned the home, floating in my mind is not my home, not my campus, but this small bridge, only that, the plain appears in the portrait.
Is a cement bridge, the earliest probably only a half-lane width ---- in a big city like Shanghai to Beijing, I right-lane concept is not very clear, also said that this bridge in the end is not clear how width - so long as the opposite case of a truck which had, they invariably take place, traffic congestion, pedestrian bicycle bridge under the bridge all ranked in the top of the bridge approach. This is often blocked at the time of the town is a big issue, will soon be spread throughout the city and, in some idle spectators. This plug points for me the profound impression Jiang E, because each time block, starting with Hexi people will come back to play on the side of the home while waiting for my mother's brother, said the bridge plug $ C1 playing honor and shed the milk teeth pro - expression to forgive?
Later, as the economy slow development - the development here, things should be much slower than the mountains, so I said that on the outside when the vigorous changes, this is surrounded by mountains, the water went all the way into the Yangtze River town still seems to retain Fukuchi look forward to ancestors - the increase of vehicles, this bridge causes traffic jams with increasing frequency, so the government determined to expand. The so-called expansion, that is sufficient to increase the width of two cars also approved as a sidewalk next to a height. Extension to the half of the time, both sides of the railings were removed, and cross the bridge stood a lot of cement stones, each must walk across the cement blocks, for when I am still young, it is equivalent to climb up to the jump down, climb up to jump down, and I, and my brother is especially liked the bridge, except there is no railing next to the fear caused.
Home is often made flood. Low-lying east of the river, each flood must somehow be drowned several homes. Is not really flooded, but water to enter into the house, some furniture, and even floating on the water. My family lived in the beginning my father the first floor of the school staff, because in a slope, the terrain is relatively high, therefore, tend to flood only up to the front of the first-class level, often at this time, the property inside the women and children were sent to relatives in Ha Tay, each of the fathers stay in the storm total look dim lighting. To wait until after the move to building on the flood concerns, and not diminished. Every time this season, I always anxiously looking Tens of water in the pond not far from the daily rise gradually diffuse out of the ground, always have the worry small building would collapse because of flooding, or we will be trapped in the floor on. This kind of fear of flooding may have been in my mind where to become an inherent response. This led me to leave home to go to university later period, the more often things do not go well or anxiety, dreams, without exception, where there is flooding. Sometimes to see myself standing flood waters and the distant bark of lonely boat, in any case calls for, it leaves only a lonely boat in the distance to go through to survive, but never drove up to me, and in the dream which you can not call out loud , the dream that time will not help, I could forget; sometimes standing on its own its own balcony and terrified to see the water slowly rose higher; sometimes their own in the dark of the storm, there was no trace of When lighting, high-kick one foot to climb the shallow jumped off Nazuo took me to the safety of Hexi bridge, there is no railing, while the bridge is the Deluge.
The loneliness, helplessness, anxiety, fear, I do not know how the images will always appear in my dreams where the University. Is it that time I was not happy then? Later graduated from Shanghai, this dream is almost gone. With more and more day to leave the home a long time, the fear of floods is also gradually diminish.
The size of a small town in the east of the river is now limited to two districts of Ha Tay, most recently back to the tricycle Mufti, there are many names I did not know. In some places used to be farmland, and now also developed the first of several Avenue, New District of the category. The expansion of urban areas, led to the development of city traffic. In the basis of walking and cycling, with a gradual increase of the motorcycle, tricycle, I heard that there are still taxis and small buses. The previous two years back, I was almost startled street traffic chaos. Tricycle without formation of the bumps on the road speeding 5A; ? d d3 brigade arrived to steal Gua cajole Wujiang ┬ school ridiculed O Lu Na Jie Ya-Fei Lai Ne-baked blind expansion threshold jinsong negative limp back? 0-degree angle.
After the city expanded, the importance of bridges also reduced. After a small bridge before they arrive at a place where you want to go, and now after a small bridge, you might still passed the first of several road, and then a few bends before reaching the Po you are going to Internet cafes, karaoke OK. The road farther away after having fewer and fewer people walking everywhere is rubbed off your clothes through the tricycle, used to take 10 minutes to walk the bridge, and now two minutes spent in the rough. Bridge can be seen on the beautiful hills, beautiful hills of the reflection of the water no one take into account also, beautiful hills of the ancient pagoda and gradually became more lonely. Approach the bridge where the upper and lower bridge was originally mostly breakfast shop, the supply of hot buns to go to work the morning reading the pedestrian, but now they have turned into a hair salon and started selling fashion jewelry.
Now back to town, I have a guest. And former classmates to talk about the streets, no longer exists; old classmates took me to a place to play is full of unfamiliar names. And my bridge, even though both ends of the bridge has changed a lot, fortunately the scenery on both sides of the bridge remains. Of those, and to identify with his father standing on the bridge over the mountains, not far from, and parallel bridges that ancient stone arch bridge, as well as on the bridge all the memories.
Unfortunately, I have never photographed a photograph of the bridge. I know, as I left the town more and more time, I returned to town the chance of getting smaller. I recall a small town, less and less the number of bridges. I only hope that my memory never vague, I remember the bridge never blurred.
Note: The South City is my hometown. This time last year, wrote about it in another article, "Town South City"
