Pingyuan Merchants Yue Reading 丨 Tongcheng Change

Anchor: Liu Su

My hometown is in the countryside of Tongcheng, Anhui, and now belongs to the Town of Hozi. There are about thirty miles from our village to Tongcheng City. When I was young, there was an old bus who went back and forth to the city to pass our village. The shuttle bus drove on the simple road, setting off two dust columns that bite the rear of the car tightly, which made me impressed.

People in our village rarely take the bus to and from the city, and most of them walk. By the mid -1980s, bicycles became increasingly popular, and they went to the city to ride. Starting from my hometown, whether it is riding or walking, walking to "Fifteen Lifang" is equivalent to half of it. It was also since the beginning of Fifteen Lifang, and there was a provincial highway with asphalt, but the road was very narrow at that time, and both cars had to slow down. Continue to go forward, it will pass a high slope called "Wu Shigang". Standing on the top of the slope, you can see the whole picture of Chengguan: some four or five -story buildings are connected into one piece, and there are several large chimneys next to the building, which should be the factory building. This scenery is not unusual now, but in my eyes at the time, it represents the excitement and prosperity, and I pinned my longing for the "city".

I went to Tongcheng City for the first time and walked. At that time, I was only eleven or two years old. Together with the three students in the same village, I set off from the village in the morning and arrived at the Chengguan at about 10 am. We are all entering the city for the first time, and we are new to see everything. I remember that the rain was raining that day, the three of us took off their shoes, moved from the old station to Wenmiao Plaza, and moved from Wenmiao Square to Dongjie and North Street. At that time, these streets were not long, but we were still interested. We watched while walking, and the laughter spilled on the wet road. Turning to 3 or four pm, we bought two buns on the street and ate it. Only then did we go home with the vision of life in the city and the satisfaction of "enter the city".

The development of Tongcheng City Guan has accelerated from the mid -1980s. First of all, there was a new bus station, and another main street was built from Wenmiao Plaza to the new station. In 1996, Tongcheng withdrew the county. To this day, the urban area is quite large -scale, and the appearance is refreshing.

Last year, I returned to my hometown to worship my ancestors. There was just a spare time in the afternoon, and I went to the city alone. At that time, the Gaopo of Wu Shigang was tied for a long time. We originally called Fifteen Lifang, and it has become part of the urban area. In the current urban area, it has developed into a large -scale city.

I wandered around in the old town, while salvaging the memory of the teenager. The new city of Tongcheng is built around the old city. The old town has made an article around the word "old" to rebuild or repair some old buildings in history. For example, Dongzu Gate was rebuilt at the original site in 2008, and the momentum was magnificent and the ancient meaning still exists. I walked through the East Gate and walked into Zilai Street. The streets paved with the slate, the shops on both sides are clear and the Jianghuai architectural style was made in the Ming and Qing dynasties. The wall surface was made of gray masonry. It has both the elegance of Jiangnan and the simple atmosphere of the north. Most of the shops on both sides sell groceries or cakes, and exhibited the rich cakes of Tongcheng specialty. The owner in the store talked to his family with his familiar village, and he was not in a hurry to attract customers. Unlike the enthusiastic vendors in my impression, the people here do business here, which makes me feel novel and envious.

The "Purple Bridge" I want to look for is just in front of me. The bridge is directed, the east is connected to the east street, the west is from Zilai Street, the five -hole and four stacks, and the stone is completed. According to reports, the earliest donation to the bridge was Fang Deyi, and it was the ancestor of the celebrity Fang Bao, a celebrity of Tongcheng. This bridge witnessed the long history of Tongcheng. The meaning of the purple bridge to take "Ziqi East", the bridge is narrow, and the adult men can pass seven or eight steps. But in ancient times, this place was the essence of the post road. Today, the deep ancient traces on the bridge surface are still there, silently confirming the prosperity of the past.

I stood on the Zilai Bridge, and the beautiful Longmian Mountain was in front of me. Through the ancient slate, the water of the Longmian River was on my feet, and the Qingling Ling land was flowing. Ancient bridges, flowing water, this scene, which is easy to give birth to the ancient feelings of people. Tongcheng's "Liuxiang Lane" is well -known in the world. The Tongcheng people show the different characteristics of the personality on different occasions. They have their own valuables and their own glory.

The water of the Longmian River seems to flow from the depths of history, into reality, and will also flow to the future. Today, the new city is around the old city, and the beautiful residential buildings on the side of the road seem to be moved here as if the metropolis block has been moved here. Many people in our village bought a house in the urban area. The original villagers now became "cities" living in modern communities. Everyone sometimes meets in the urban area. The catering industry here is very developed, and the flavors of various places can be tasted. Thinking back to the past, they felt that they lived in the life that they didn't dare to think about now. From the urban area to my hometown, there is a wide and straight asphalt road. The bus is one hour by hour, and the self -driving one way is only twenty minutes. His hometown's Hozi Lake Ecological Tourist Area is now famous.

A booming city, an era of progress. Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar city in front of me, my heart was surging, and my expectations for a better tomorrow!
