As the old saying goes: one side feeds the other, and the fittest survive.
I am an authentic "Northern Yankee", born in the loess nest in the great northwest, after being young and strong, I went to the desert for ten years, soaked in sand, alkali bubble salt erosion, shaped by the natural environment, and my soul and appearance are hard and rough. When I was still young, I met a white-skinned Shanghainese in a train box, and I was polite and invited him to eat roast chicken, and he was also polite and asked me if I was fifty years old. I self-deprecatingly turned thirty-five upside down to fifty-three, and the benevolent brother was suddenly shocked, put down his chicken leg and praised me for being younger than he was, and that he was fifty-two. Later, from time to time with SuHu Zhejiang Chuan colleagues on business, often encountered a finger can pop out of the water of the Furong Emei, I roughly understand the Tang poetry, why there are so many "Jiangnan good", "Jiangnan memory".
"White hair urges old age, and Qingyang forces the age to get rid of." Busy and busy crossing the threshold of "ear shun", I suddenly realized that after leaving the workplace, I should try my best to live a leisurely life in the second half of my life. It coincided with a few old friends who met and bought property on Hainan Island, which is further south than Fujian and Guangdong, so I became a "migratory bird" by the Wanquan River. In the future, every time with the geese flying south, stepping on the heat wave to return to the north, basking in the warm sun in the Qionghai at nineteen degrees north latitude, eating the southern taste, accompanying the phoenix to blossom, listening to the banana playing rain, watching the wave push the front wave on the beach's ruthlessness and determination, soaking in the hot spring pool under the coconut tree to enjoy the white clouds racing, handsome birds and wings, forgetfulness, ease, greedily enjoy the special gifts of nature. Long-term love. I found myself enjoying this place more and more – it's not too much to say love, but that's not the tone of my age.
The sunshine of Qionghai is bright and charming. In the morning when you don't want to sleep, you can see a round of red sun slowly rising from the water and sky, and then appear in the outer sea of Tanmen to Boao, staging cloud steaming Xiawei. In an instant, the morning sun flowed, and the clouds scattered flowers, like neon feathers, and like Qiong Lou landing on the ground. Gulls sway the waves, and their wings swing and fly. Petrels sweep the water and soar across the sky. Not long after, the morning sun left the water, pasted the background of the blue sky, became blazing and dazzling, and began to travel day after day.
The coastline under the sun, like the line score of the polar symphony, rises and falls, highlighting the sea rhyme that never ends. Inside the shoreline is the vast Pacific Ocean, the real deep blue world, far from the Bohai Sea, the Yellow Sea can be compared, but also with Fan Zhongyan's "boundless" Dongting Lake. The ocean stretches all the way to the American continent, and directly to the east is the Hawaiian Islands, a famous tourist resort. Since ancient times, the fishermen of Qionghai have set out from here to "make the sea" in the depths of the ocean and trade with countries in the South China Sea, so they are known as the "hometown of overseas Chinese". The South China Sea Museum, built in Tanmen, used shipwrecks salvaged near Huaguang Reef in the Xisha To tell people that as early as the Song Dynasty, this "Maritime Silk Road" was very busy, and the export goods were not only porcelain and silk, but also iron, pewter and bronze.

With the confidence of history, sitting on the beach and watching the sky, the field of vision is extremely wide, the heart is also broad, and it is not like the feeling of a well frog at all. The sky of Qionghai does not look particularly high, rarely the extreme blue of the northern desert, but there are always amorous white clouds from the western Pacific Ocean, with fluttering clothes and canopy like umbrellas. When it drifts overhead with the wind and rains down a shower of sun, you know which cloud is made of rain and which cloud is the foil of the blue sky. Clouds and rain are sometimes very different, sometimes indistinguishable. Whenever it rains, the air is more clear and transparent, and when you take a sip, you will sink into your heart and spleen, and you will feel refreshed and refreshed. The dust particles created by people and vehicles seem to be carried away by the sea breeze, gathered into the clouds, and then took the opportunity of rain to scatter the area around Limu Mountain, the Five Finger Mountain in the middle of the island, becoming a high uplift there and cultivating a dense rainforest in the mountainous area.
Between the rainforest and the sea, it is a very charming idyllic scenery. About three or five friends climbed the White Rock Ridge, and their eyes were full of beautiful scenery. In the middle of the flat domain, the wind swings the rice and the thousand heavy waves; the hills are scattered, and the birds in the sunshine rubber forest are crying. The betel nuts are upright, the mangoes are tired, the lychees are just spitting, and the banana heads are hanging low. Driving boulevards, roadside bauhinia and bougainvillea compete for glory, and from time to time there are red-roofed and white-walled farmhouses, smiling from the shade of high banyan cinnamon. When it was time for dinner, look for a farmhouse by the pond, and immediately there were butterflies dancing around, and bees flew overhead. At the place where there are a few "quacks" in Russia, there are flocks of ducks in the pond that are not willing to be ignored. The man smiled and smiled, said little, directly hooked down a few coconuts, and opened a hole for tea. After quenching her thirst and stopping her fatigue, the hostess came out and asked, "What do you want to eat." Fish are caught in the pond, ducks are caught in the pond, and beans, eggplants, lettuce, etc. are also freshly picked in the ground. Everything is within the range of vision, and to say fresh, I am afraid it has reached the extreme.
Kaji Duck Restaurant on Silver Sea Road
Taking advantage of the master's cooking skills, guests can go to the pond to play ducks. This duck is the "Jiaji Duck", also known as the "Fan Duck", with a flat body, a red crown and yellow crests, black and white feathers, and at first glance looks a bit like a wild duck. Because it was a fine species introduced from abroad by overseas Chinese in the early years, it was first cultivated and bred in Jiaji Town, Qionghai, hence the name. Later, the range of aquaculture was expanded, but Qionghai as the birthplace was eventually authentic. "Jiaji Duck" is known for its "large breasts, thin skin, soft bones, tender meat, less fat, fat but not greasy, high nutritional value", and "Wenchang chicken", "East Goat" and "Hele crab" and called Hainan "four famous food". But before becoming a famous eater, Jiaji duck was really a little shy, and when he saw that some people were disturbed, he was led by several geese, shaking off his wings, landing one after another, and then ran back to the fence to hide.
The pond is less noisy than the ducks, and it is quiet when it is boarded. The fish hiding under the water swim to the surface and prey on the tiny creatures that are invisible to the naked eye. Occasionally, there is a "fluttering" sound of frogs entering the water, in response to several insect sounds. The pond is not very large, about two acres of scenery, three sides by the forest, one side adjacent to the field, one pair of feng shui storage. Between the fields and forests is a small canal shaded by green grass, which leads straight to the living water a hundred meters away - there is the Wanquan River that flows day and night, and it is also the mother river of the people of Qionghai.
Qionghai Long Slope Coast
Wanquan River is known as "China's Amazon River", one of the three major rivers of Hainan Island, originating from Wuzhi Mountain and Murui Mountain, half of the basin is in the territory of Qionghai, all the way to the forest show, harvest flowers, smoke and water leisurely, sparkling, light posture, Qianying is also slow, if moving, not humble, smooth as brocade, drinking as sweet as Ganlin. In the morning, the dew hangs on the grass tip, the coconut grove is scattered, the reflection in the water is deep; the dusk whale bell sings the Zen Temple, the fish song is pastoral, and the river surface is sprinkled with gold. If you are not immersed in the scene, you can feel a harmonious ecology, permeated with the beauty of not carving! Some people say that the beauty of Qionghai is in Wanquan And One River, and some people say that the Permanent Settlement of the Forum for Asia in Boao, the mouth of the Wanquan River, is to see the unique natural environment here.
In fact, the Wanquan River in my heart first flowed out of the singer's singing voice. The song title is "Wanquan River Water Is Clear and Pure", which is a supporting song of the ballet "Red Detachment of Women". The lyrics are catchy, the melody is graceful and beautiful, and a group of female warriors in leggings and shorts on the stage once opened a brain hole in the chaos of my youth. Later, in the military camp of Biansai, I listened to the military singer sing "I Love the Five Finger Mountain, I Love the Wanquan River", and I was full of hope for the treasure island of the South China Sea of the motherland.
Place to see the sea
It is said that the Wanquan River was originally called Duohe and changed its name to the middle of the Yuan Dynasty. At that time, Emperor Wuzong's second son Tu Timu'er was known as a talented person, and his Chinese character calligraphy "fell to the pen and was awarded the style of the Tang Taizong Jin Ancestral Hall". However, he was unable to inherit his father's throne, and was assigned to live on Hainan Island by his superior uncle Aiyu Li Bali Badafa. Tu Timu'er lived on the banks of the River for more than three years, not only did not get smothered by Hot Island, but also received the favor of the gentlemen and farmers around him, and married a girl named Qingmei. Later, Tu Timu'er was welcomed back to Dadu to become Emperor Wenzong, and he thanked the residents for wishing them "all the way" when they bid farewell, so he issued an edict to change the name of "Duohe" to "Wanquan River". As for how "Wanquan" evolved into "Wanquan", that was Yuan Wenzong's heart, and others did not know.
The Wanquan River not only nourished the emperor, but also fed the Red Revolution. Yangjiang Town, which is more than 30 kilometers away from Qionghai City, is known as "Hainan Red First Town". During the Second Civil Revolutionary War, it was once the central base of the Island Red Army. The famous coconut village battle, a number of heroes emerged. The first special committee and county party committee of Qiongya of the CPC and the first Soviet power in Qiongya were born here, the first "Land Law" of Qiongya was promulgated here, and the women's special agent company of the Third Regiment of the Second Independent Division of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, known as the "Red Women's Army", was also born here. Now nearly a hundred years later, the people of Qionghai still have deep feelings for the Girl Scout Army. There are statues of the Girl Scouts in the city center, and there is a Memorial Garden for the Girl Scouts on the side of the road, and the "Song of the Girl Scouts" is played on the station wagon. In the spring of 2014, when Lu Yexiang, the last soldier of the Girl Scout Army, died of his hundredth birthday, hundreds of people, from the official to the people, spontaneously went to mourn and send off the old hero. They send an immortal history, and they send a legacy of the pursuit of freedom and happiness.

Qionghai people not only admire heroes and inherit red genes, but also accept old people from all over the world with a broad mind. Jiaji Town, where the municipal government is located, is not large, but in the past decade, thanks to the development of tourism and the "migratory bird economy", the urban area has rapidly expanded to the surrounding areas, which is no longer the scene of the past. Horizontal streets, vertical roads, buildings, cars and people, more and more show a strong modern atmosphere. The two major markets, located at the South Gate and the North Gate, are bustling and crowded all day long. Inside, chicken, duck, fish, goose meat and egg dishes are dazzling, and colorful tropical fruits make people turn into elementary school students. Here, you can see a variety of faces, you can also hear the accent of the southern and northern tones, buyers and sellers call each other "boss", a little ridicule, a little serious.
The vendors here have the temperament of Wanquanhe, generally speak slowly, work slowly, and look like they are not in a hurry when they are on fire. They don't like to sell, and they are spontaneous. You can not buy his goods, but you cannot pick his thorns; he can offer favors, but there is no room for bargaining. Once when I bought Lotus Mist, I asked, "Is it Black Kong?" He was rejected by the stall owner's old lady and turned his back on his face. When she was about to leave, she breathlessly cut one and forced it for me to taste. I saw that she was still angry, and she barely took a bite, but it was light and slightly sour, and her teeth and cheeks were fragrant, so I bought a few pounds at the moment. It turned out that this man did not have a good face, but he did not necessarily have a good look. In the evening, strange a stranger repeatedly asked to add me WeChat, only to know that the mobile phone payment mistakenly entered 18 to 118, the old lady was full of markets to find me, after returning home, let the grandson find me from the WeChat record, anxious to refund.

A gentleman loves money and has a way of getting it. The money that should be earned must be compared, and the penny that should not be earned will not be taken. In the impetuousness of the world and the many people dream of getting rich overnight, the peddlers who adhere to the bottom line, emphasize honesty and business ethics are quite like the legacy of Yang Zhan, whose descendants of the Ming Dynasty are listed in the Book of Shangshu. A day later, I wanted to buy all the hundred yuan returned by the old lady into lotus mist, but I was refused. She only sells five catties, let me eat and then buy, the fruit should be eaten fresh, if there is no time, she can send. I looked sheepishly at the small old lady and found that her dark face was full of calmness, a pair of eyes black and white, slightly thick lips slightly grinning, and repeatedly said, "Listen to me, yes!" "I suddenly felt a fever in my cheeks, I was at a loss, and the poor self-esteem in my heart was torn apart by a fruit vendor.
Suddenly an old thing came to mind. One year, he went to the hometown of shen Congwen, a literary master, and was taken to the jade shop by the tour guide and advised to buy behind closed doors. When the shopkeeper heard that we were from Xi'an, he pretended to be very excited, made up a story that he was studying at a military medical university in Xi'an, met with a second hometown person, and lost his money to thank him, usually fifty thousand yuan of pendants as long as three thousand yuan. Seeing that the travel companions were eager to try and pull out their wallets, I quickly asked: "The boss has been in the military, can you know Zhang Hua?" The boss was stunned, and immediately boasted that Zhang Hua was his teacher and still had telephone contact. His cowhide blew through and lit his own death pit. The traveling companions looked at each other like a dream. Because everyone in Xi'an knew that Zhang Hua was a hero, jumping into a dung pit to save the peasants from a glorious sacrifice when he was in military school caused a big discussion about whether it was worth it or not.

It can be seen from this that even if the organs exhaust their calculations, it is inevitable that they will be meticulous and secretive. Especially in an era of information explosion, once the paper paste embroidered shoes see water, they are either worn or dropped. Only integrity, no need to dig out the mind, no need to use clever words, just innate authenticity, you can win the trust of others. Trusting this thing, although it cannot be seen or touched, is not as tangible as the "net red face", but it can become addictive and subconsciously guide people's behavior. Just as later I only bought the old lady's lotus mist, and even took my friends to her orchard to pick it.
The old lady's house is next to a large farm surrounded by fruit orchards. It is the season of harvesting pineapples, and the ground is piled up like a hill. Guava also hangs on the branches and enters the harvest period. The huge jackfruit is like a green tripe, hanging abruptly under the branches. We took pictures while visiting and bought some of the various fruits. I was about to leave when I was suddenly stopped by a cadre-like person. I was puzzled: It's not a border, do you still need to check? Hell yes! When he asked about the price of the fruit, it was even more in the clouds. At the end he called out to a young man and muttered a few words in the local dialect, which we could not understand. After a while, the young man brought me a few pineapples, and only then did he understand that the cadre was checking whether we had paid a high price. Rules were set in the field that outsiders were not allowed to be bullied.

I was a little surprised: What kind of people is this? What kind of business atmosphere is there? Later, I read Professor Yan Guanglin's "Research on the Cultural Roots of Hainan Island" and "History of the Development of Agricultural Reclamation in Hainan", and I had some understanding of the principles of the local people. Hainan culture is in a very complex historical time and space, including high-speed rail, highways and Internet finance, as well as the Book of Poetry, Confucius, Fan Li, as well as matrilineal culture, Junpo Festival and Lady Xian. I breathe air that has not been thoroughly washed by industrial civilization, and I don't need to panic about smog or worry about sandstorms. Putting aside the floating clouds of fame and fortune, away from the right and wrong of eyebrows and low eyes, open the window, meet the wind from the ocean, open your eyes, and see the red flowers and green trees. Xing came to the window to read, the sea breeze was blowing, the gods were making friends with the ancient and modern sages; a cup of tea in leisure time, lying quietly on the terrace, and closing their eyes in the music of "Long Time No See Long Time". Si was Taoyuan, so drunk that he couldn't understand why Su Dongpo, the great literary hero of the Song Dynasty, was depressed and complained about the injustice of the sky when he was separated from Qionghai by a mountain.
When people don't have too many desires, happiness is often bursting. In Qionghai, the same "migratory birds" as me, more than 100,000 people. After these people take off their "vests", they are left with authenticity. People don't fake, just get along, you don't behave, he doesn't pretend, have fun, and do something you like by the way. Whether it was the main department or the deputy department, now they are walking by the Wanquan River; whether it was originally the main department or the deputy department, they are all coexisting in the "Migratory Bird" choir; and former experts and professors are striving for health and longevity. Downstairs, Zhang Lao, the founder of the Forest of Steles, the general of the Red Army in Pakistan, compiled a book "The Legendary Career of the Hundred-Year-Old Red Army" here, and made up his mind to learn from the old Red Army. Swimmer Jingguan, Mishou is old, has lived in Qionghai for more than ten years, and has not returned in the summer in the past five years.
The story of the sea located in Boao
Once, I went to the station to give someone away, forgot to bring my wallet, and immediately there was a warm sister Guan who helped me get out of the predicament. The next day, they came to the door to thank them, and Chinese New Year's Eve also participated in their Spring Festival party. I found that there were twenty households in a whole one-story apartment building, all of which were inhabited by elderly people from a certain system in Tianjin, calling themselves "Tianjin Village". Most of these people are colleagues when they are employed, have deep feelings, and buy houses together after retirement and hug the pension. They usually chat together, play together, talk like crosstalk, call the wontons "Wonton", help everyone when the family has something, and visit relatives and friends. On holidays, Singing Beijing opera, performing skits, singing and dancing, laughing and eating together, and enjoying themselves. I felt that they had almost moved the soft environment of their hometown to Qionghai, the climate had changed, the nostalgia was still around, and I couldn't help but think about it for a long time and sigh a lot. Later, I heard that the TV station did a special program for "Tianjin Village", calling it "the innovation of the pension model", and I also deeply believed it.
One side of the water and soil to support the other side, the water and soil are constant and people flow, the fittest live, the happy are healthy. People in Qionghai, the heart belongs to the outside.
