Having been wandering abroad for many years, I have long forgotten the appearance of my hometown.
In April, I moved my account to Wuxi. So the address on the ID card changed position again.
I like the city of Wuxi. Because it is very quiet.
Simple folk.
Get up in the morning, open the windows, and breathe the fresh air outside. Get dressed, wash your face, brush your teeth.
My home is located on Sheng'an Road, which is not very prosperous. The traffic is fairly convenient. Going out is the bus station.
Not far away is Huishan.
I have been there a few times when I was bored, but I never climbed to the top. It will be a pity.
My lifestyle is simple and unique. Two points and one line. home and work.
So after walking for nearly two years, I still don't know the name of the place.
Just remember to cross a bridge and two traffic lights.
Seldom go to urban areas. Except for going to the hospital to see a doctor, there are only a handful of three times.
The longest one was riding a bicycle for two hours alone. At that moment, the mood is broken. Decided not to go out easily again. But also harvested the beautiful scenery along the way.
Sheng'an Road is a very long road. I used to imagine that if I keep walking along this road, when will I reach the end.
I haven't been to Wuxi Railway Station for a long time. I've been there a lot over the past few years. On Friday night, depart from Shanghai, take the train at 8:00 o'clock, and arrive in Wuxi on time at 10:00 o'clock.
Call a taxi at the gate of the train station, and you can come to your relative's home in 20 minutes.
At that time, the subway had not yet been built. Not too crowded along the way.
What was Wuxi like in the past? I have no experience. Now I breathe with this city and experience its heavy heartbeat. The reinforced concrete structure slowly opened up ravines on its body, and that cold toy called a car kept running on the ravines.
High-rise buildings are rising on the ground, more and more foreigners, and more and more complicated traffic.
Hotels, nightclubs, restaurants stand along the street. Bright neon, illuminating the sky.
Every time I go to and from get off work at night, I will pass through an intersection.
Every time I see that old man, he wears shabby clothes and has white hair all over his head. There are street stalls, and green vegetables that are still dripping are placed on the stalls.
He speaks a strong Wuxi dialect.
I do not understand. Never ask him the price. I just handed him the money and told him that I bought it for so much money.
His back is pitiful and desolate. Like the forgotten melody of this city. His trembling hands, hunched back.
Welcome to my first ray of sunshine in the morning.
He was sitting there selling the vegetables he grew, not for a living. but alone.
I didn't say a word during the whole process.
He always said with a smile on his face. Because I don't understand, I just use a smile to perfunctory.
I seldom do grocery shopping. Because I'm lazy and because I don't know how to cook.
The most visited vegetable market is the Shanbei vegetable market, which is a little far from home. I have thought about why it is called Shanbei Vegetable Farm, probably because it is on the north side of the mountain. A dumpling skin shop near the door is very good. It's a pity that she can't tell the four yuan and ten yuan I said every time.
"Boss, buy dumpling wrappers for ten yuan."
"Four dollars."
"It's not four dollars but ten dollars."
"Is it four dollars or ten dollars?"
We get into this kind of tongue twister loop. I know I can't speak Mandarin well. Hastily stretched out two hands. It means five plus five equals ten. She smiled to ease the embarrassment.
"Oh. It's ten yuan."
At the front door of Shanbei Vegetable Farm, there is a crispy roast duck with fruit wood skin, which is quite delicious. When it first opened, there was a long queue to buy it. Wrap the duck meat in dough, save some sweet noodle sauce, put a little green onion, it is indeed a delicious dish. It may be because of eating too much. I don't like eating anymore.
Zhengxin Chicken Chop is also delicious. The first time I ate it was when my friend took me to Chong'an Temple. We bought three skewers of sausage.
I saw that the brand is Zhengxin Chicken Chop.
Feel delicious. Too bad it's too far from home.
Later, I saw that there was also a Shanbei vegetable market. Immediately feel excited. After trying all the flavors, I lost my love for it.
Wuxi is most famous for its pork ribs in sauce. I have eaten it in Shanghai, but I have never eaten it once when I actually came here.
For a while, I especially loved shredded bread. Do it now and sell it now. Freshly out of the oven is still smelling. everI ran two streets to buy in the morning. Too bad it's still closed.
The shops selling snacks have changed one after another. Every time I try it, I buy a copy and take it home.
I will frequent the delicious ones. Turns out I'm a foodie too.
But in most cases, it doesn't quite meet my taste. I'm a northerner, and it's a deep-rooted tradition. Even after living in the south for eight years, I still don't like rice.
? I once held an umbrella on a rainy night just to eat a bowl of ramen. The rain fell on the body, and the road was wet and cold. The clothes are all wet.
Feel very pitiful.
I stand on this land. I can only look up forever, living as a foreigner.
It can accommodate my occasional temper.
For example, they will complain about the recent rise in prices, rising house prices
Many people find ideals, love, and happiness here, and there are also people who get disappointed, lonely, and predicament. On one road, wandering different groups of people. The sadness and joy on their faces, loneliness and loneliness. Sadness and tears melt into the flesh and blood of this city.
It has become fashionable. Get rid of the backwardness and poverty of the past. Try to keep up with the trend of the times. Want to fight for the division of first-tier cities in China. Therefore, no matter how people use knives and earth on its body, it remains indifferent.
It is like an iron man, gritting its teeth, insisting on caring for life.
Before the 1990s, Wuxi was an unremarkable county town. After countless mergers and divisions, a city was formed. After countless times of planning and sorting, it gradually got on the right track.
It hasn't been torn apart by "alien invaders" yet. Keep the original pure sincerity.
Wuxi is not as prosperous as Shanghai, and there is a lot less noise about fame and fortune. Be able to calm down and do things you like.
So it is suitable for calming the mind.
Go to Lingshan Giant Buddha to experience the boundless truth of Buddhism. It is said that if you hug the Buddha's feet, you can live a safe life. Listen to the wonderful depth of the Brahma Palace.

A city has its own unique charm. Walking through thousands of mountains and rivers, looking backit is still standing there, always open its arms, accepting batches of people who travel far away
Even without the luxury of a playground. It's closer to nature here. Strong humanistic atmosphere.
The fragrance of a cup of tea does not care about the preciousness of the tea. It depends on whether the person who tastes tea has a heart to return to nature.
I am in Wuxi.
There are sad, sad, happy, happy.
Like the point of eternity. I complete the journey of life around it.
