At the beginning of the lights, neon lights flashed, and I once again returned to this familiar place, standing on the Thousand Lions Bridge, letting my thoughts fly all over the sky.
As long as I come back, I will come here for a walk. Shishi accompanied me through those spring, summer, autumn and winter, witnessed the development of this small town, and also carried the homesickness of my wanderer.
Everyone may have heard the saying: Mizhi's mother-in-law Sui Hande. My hometown, Suide County, a small county located in the gully region of the Loess Plateau in northern Shaanxi, is known as a world-famous state. Sui Dehan here actually refers to the skilled Suide people, who carved one legend after another with their hands, and stone carving has become synonymous with their hometown.
This small town of Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia and Mongolia has been one of the famous "dry docks" in the northwest since ancient times, and the time-moving bridge connecting the east and west of the city, as a transportation hub, plays an extremely important role.
Qianshi Bridge is 3 1 1 m long and 51m wide. * * Shishi 1008, as big as Changyu, as small as two or three inches. It weighs 30 tons and is as light as100g. There are many stone lions on the bridge, such as standing, walking, squatting, lying, climbing, rolling, jumping, kissing and hugging. Stone lions not only pursue the shape, but also the spirit. Their inner world is very rich, with not only joys and sorrows, but also banter, alertness, aggressiveness, tameness, alertness, greed and openness. The doll Shishi in Qianshiqiao is naive and lively, with a fake smile; The young stone lion is intimate, like a pair of lovers; In the prime of life, Shishi endured humiliation and made great efforts; After vicissitudes of life, the old stone lion realized the true meaning of life. The male lion is full of heroism and domineering, and the female lion takes good care of her cubs, which reflects the great maternal love of the world. I am admiring my hometown people's exquisite stone carving skills and rich inner world.
I like talking to them. I will tell them some interesting things, as if they all understand. How many points did you get in the exam when you were a child? Did you get scolded? What reward did you get? Come here. I quarreled with someone today and came here. Small things like chicken pieces and dog pieces will come. In short, many times my friends and I walk from one end to the other and then turn back, as if we would never get tired. There will be some small vendors selling fruits, candy and socks at the bridge head, and people will come and go, which is very lively. At that time, there were few people waiting for the bus. Has become a deep memory of my hometown.
Suddenly one day, I heard several people talking in the teacher's Mandarin, and I probably understood what they meant. Stone lions are really beautiful. They want to do business. That year, I was 12 years old, and I never went further and never saw the outside world. I dream that I can go out one day. At that time, there were only buses, and occasionally buses could be seen leaving the passenger station. I noticed Xi and Beijing.
I study hard, the town develops day by day, more and more foreigners come to start businesses, and there are more and more shops on the street. The railway station has been built. I heard that this is a green leather train bound for Xi 'an. I am very happy and excited. He ran to the Thousand Lions Bridge and looked out, dreaming of the place called faraway place. I gradually found that there were more and more cars on the bridge, and even some traffic jams began. I know that Shishi is beginning to go far away.
Later, I went to Xi 'an, the provincial capital, to study. I often talked about the place called Thousand Lions Bridge. I am proud of my hometown. Later, I went further and further. I went to Beijing, Shenzhen, Shanghai, Nanjing and Suzhou. At home, I desperately want to leave. When I left, I couldn't stop worrying about homesickness. The railway station in the small town has also opened many long-distance trains to Beijing, Chengdu, Lanzhou, Chongqing, Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia and Shanghai. I slowly stopped changing trains from Xi 'an, and the way home became closer. I'm a little smug again.
With the acceleration of economic development, the urbanization process of small towns is also accelerating, the urban population is growing rapidly, and the traffic pressure in urban areas is increasing day by day. Time-shifting bridge can no longer undertake heavy transportation tasks. "The bridge is too narrow, especially during the rush hour. It takes 30 minutes to slowly cross the bridge on the Thousand Lions Bridge. " When he came home a few years later, the taxi driver smiled and said, "Sometimes it is better to walk fast. Now we look forward to the completion of the widening project as soon as possible.
In 20 12, the Thousand Lions Bridge was widened 15 meters, covered with lanterns and decorated with colorful decorations, showing its grandeur at night. Standing on the widened and renovated Thousand Lions Bridge, I feel that the town is so prosperous, the hardworking people in my hometown are trying to create happiness with their hands, and my family has also lived in the elevator and burned the floor heating.
At the same time, the "World Famous Shipai Building" was built in Cheng Xiao. Shipailou is 19 floor, with five doors and six columns, and a double-sided single structure, with a length of 36.9 meters and a height of 16.9 meters. It is engraved with 1 168 stones and allusions of 66 characters. The five gates of Shipai Building are the gates of revival and the gateway to the world.
The lions in the Loess Culture Garden next to the town are even more extreme. The big one occupies a cliff, and the small one is hidden in a small crack. They are brave, cute and handsome. This cultural origin is deeply embedded in the bones of hometown people.
From then on, the town went out of northern Shaanxi and went to the world.
However, just five months ago, on July 26th, 20 17, a flood destroyed a city overnight.
Fortunately, people are moving fast enough. At midnight 1 p.m., the city sounded an air defense alarm, and government personnel knocked on the door along the street to evacuate to higher ground.
More than 0/0 bridges in the whole town/kloc were flooded, many roads were interrupted, and water, electricity, natural gas and communication equipment were interrupted one after another. Xishan Street, the "Erdao Street" that we often walk through, suffered the most. This street is near the river. By noon on the 27th, the whole street was almost completely immersed in muddy water. At first glance, there are not only layers of debris floating on the water, but also many cars.
Only the Thousand Lions Bridge stands tall, carrying out its mission, delivering relief supplies to people and evacuating people in serious disasters.
The flood is ruthless, and people in the small town will not fall after the disaster. When one side was in trouble, the people's soldiers of armed police, public security and fire fighting arrived in batches, and all public officials and people with working ability in the town joined the flood fighting team to shoulder the heavy responsibility of disaster relief. I was very moved when I saw the pictures of disaster relief and emergency rescue.
I go back once a month after the disaster. The main roads and infrastructure in the city have been restored, the epidemic prevention work has been done in place, dangerous houses are being rebuilt or rebuilt, damaged bridges are being repaired, and shops along the street are opening one after another.
Post-disaster reconstruction has a long way to go. But I firmly believe that people are there, the Thousand Lions Bridge is there, the city is there, and my hometown is there.
