One day in December 2020, my wife and I drove to Biancheng Town northwest of Huayuan County, Hunan Province. When it was close to the destination, but when the Qifeng was abrupt, there were stone steps that could be boarded by stone steps. We climbed the peak along the stone steps and met two locals. They pointed to a beautiful village around the mountains and a beautiful village around the mountains and the flowing water, and told me: "This is the border city."

"From Sichuan across Hunan, there is an official road to the east. This official road is close to the western Hunan border. When it comes to a small mountain city named" Chaya ", there is a small stream. There is a small white tower on the side of the stream. I lived in a separate family. This family has only one old man, a girl, and a yellow dog. "The beginning of the novel" Border City "was described like this. There is a stream from tea to east of Sichuan. The only transportation is the ferry of Cui Cui's family. Nowadays, the east of Sichuan has become Chongqing, and the tea cricket is renamed "Border City" for Shen Congwen's novels, and two cement arch bridges are also set up on the stream.

When we walked into the border town, it was the off -season of "water falling stones". The leaves began to wither. The shallow beach of the riverbed was exposed to the water, and the paintings of the lanterns and the pupa were wounded in the water in the water. Several excavators were busy dredging the river. Nevertheless, it can't hide the beautiful elegance and peace of peace in the town.

The white tower on the edge of the stream was still out of the ferry. After enthusiasm for the villagers, I found the fermeal ferry of the tea cricket, and saw the ferry boat stopped on the opposite side of the river. I shouted loudly under the gesture: "Come over, the ferry came over ..." The boatman heard or saw it, the hull shook, slowly slid along the steel cable, and the calm water surface glowed a few microwaves. Essence The boat is still the lake ferry boat that can take about 20 people under the writing, but the bamboo cable used to pull the boat is changed to a steel cable.

The town of the border town is located in the mountains of western Hunan. The photographer in the hustle and bustle of the hustle and bustle of the long -term hustle and bustle, here to collect the wind, not only can shoot the mountains and rivers of the western Hunan and the simple heritage of the people, but also can nourish the heart and wash the lungs and feel the joy.
