47 years!He is the last cargo ship boss in the Ruian section of Wen Ruitang River

A 3 -meter -wide and 14 -meter -long empty cargo ship facing the head of the boat towards the shore and stopped under the east gate bridge of Ruian. At noon, the sun shot on the big banyan tree on the shore, and the mottled shade was cast on the board plate. Under the wind of the river wind, it kept swaying. The boss of the boat wearing his long -sleeved shirt and trousers, dark skin, punching his hands on the back of the head, on the lounge chair on the bow, he squinted at his head, as if he fell asleep, and at any time, he aware of the transportation of the goods.

As the boss of the last cargo ship from the urban area of ​​Wen Ruitang to the lower section of the Tang Dynasty, wearing it 62 -year -old, wearing it in loneliness. Since 1975, he has been running for 47 years in the Tanghe River for 47 years, and has transported goods for businesses in Tingtian, Tingtian, Tangxia and other places.

Wear it in the bridge and wait for the goods

Today, when everyone talks about the Tanghe, they will like its clear river water, will praise its beautiful cross -strait scenery, and will nostalgic for its amazing night view light show. But do you still remember that in the era when the land traffic was not developed, this mother river was an important way for passenger and freight between the pond and the Ruian urban area.

With the gradual transformation and improvement of land transportation, from the urban area of ​​Ruian to the pond, it was only half an hour after driving. The passenger ship had no trace on the Tanghe River. With many years of reputation and price advantage, the cargo ship has always insisted on. However, the pursuit of convenient and fast, Wen Ruitang Ruian City to the lower section of the downtown area, only the boss of the ship left into this cargo ship.

Wear it and move the cargo

Born in Bao Tian under the Tang Dynasty in 1960, he grew up on Grandpa's cargo ship since he was a child. He remembered that when he was a child, he played on the wooden boat shaking by Grandpa, set off from the pond at 3 am, shake the wooden paddle in hand, and 7 o'clock to Ruian City Pass. After loading the goods back, I unloaded another stop, and it was night to return home.

In 1975, 15 -year -old Dai Ji entered his grandfather's mantle. "The first time I shake the wooden paddle, it is really heavy, and I can't shake it." He said that this time, it was no longer playing for him, but was responsible for the burden of the family. "At that time, I went with Grandpa, ran back and forth once a day, made more than 5 yuan, paid the management fee, and there were more than a hundred dollars a month. This income was quite good at that time." "Unlike now, only two or three days, only one trip, and only made more than 100 yuan a trip."

During the period of the goods, wearing it into an interview with reporters

On August 16, the reporter ran a cargo with wearing him.

At 12 noon that day, wearing it into the start of the ship and other goods. "He charges cheap here, two boxes of goods for 8 yuan. I opened the store in the mall for more than ten years. As long as he has a boat, the customer is not in a hurry to bring him the goods." The boss Huang drove a tricycle, carried a few boxes of goods to the side of the Dongmentang River. After scanning the code to pay for the code, he drove back. It is reported that the goods are basically the old customers who send the goods to the waterway to transport the goods. When we wear them, they will know where the goods are delivered and who will pick up the goods.

Customer delivery

At 14:50, the cargo was slowly piled up on the cargo ship. After wearing it to pack it, a box of boxes and a bag of goods were stacked in an orderly manner, most of which were dry goods, daily necessities, shoes and clothing, and candy. Although after waiting for nearly 3 hours, the cabin was not filled with goods.

"These a few pieces of crickets are finally loaded and facilitated to stop at the middle." Dai Qijin said that the past and wearing supplies of town streets along the Tanghe line were purchased from Ruian City, and the water road was transported to various ports. In the past four or five years, the waterway business has become worse and worse, because most foods and cosmetics have been purchased online. The volume of freight is reduced, and many ship boss sells the cargo ship to switch to career. The cargo ship that Dai it was bought was bought from another ship boss last year. It spent 8,000 yuan. It was an old ship who had been in service for more than ten years.

The goods are slowly increased

"I used to take the waterway before, not only did my boat shipment, but also manpood. Many people came to" ask for face "." At 15 o'clock, we worn him and unbuttoned the rope, pushed the boat, and lightly followed the boat lightly along the boat. The edge of the front goes to the stern and starts the motor.

Lonely journey, lonely boat boss

With the sound of "Da Da", the boat slowly opened to the pond. Along the way, nearly 20 large and small bridges such as Gongrui Bridge, Xinyang Bridge, Tingtian Bridge, and Bridge of the Ceremony are nearly 20 large and small bridges. There are ancient banyan willows on both sides of the Taiwan Straits, and egrets are scratching around. There are also vendors selling watermelons, women cleaning on the shore ...

Remove a batch of goods on the way

"The goods are here!" The first stop of the cargo ship stopped at Jiulibutou, and the boss of the ship shouted and shouted the pick -ups. After unloading the two or three pieces of the ship's head, the cargo ship immediately drove to Tingtian in the second stop, and removed the goods of most of the ships here. The pick -ups have already waited for pickup at the port, and he needs to send these goods to the "recipient" one by one.

Pick -up person is waiting for picking up early

"Now driving the ship 'no taste", the whole river is only my cargo ship, I just drive forward in the direction. "Dai Qijin said that the water traffic on the Tanghe River was very lively. Higher skills to prevent boats from hitting a small tributary. Now there is only his lonely cargo ship on the Tanghe River. Even if the scenery on both sides of the strait is getting better and better, the water quality has been greatly improved.

While driving the boat, wearing it, it also witnessed the better and better water quality of the Tanghe River.

At around 17:00, the cargo ship passed through Tangyuqiao, parked at the port of Shao Zhai Village, and unloaded all the goods on the ship.At this point, the work of wearing one day is over."You can rush home for dinner before 5:30. The next time you drive the boat to see if there is any goods to be transported, it is estimated that it will be two or three days later." He said.End one day of the trip, wear Qijin to say goodbye to reporters

Wearing a bucket, one hand in one hand, putting his direction in one hand, wearing him into the empty boat home.He has passed the flower armor and plans to sell the cargo ship."I ran back and forth on this river for more than 40 years, and I was the last person to the last. At the age of retirement, I also wanted to rest." He said.
