Many years ago, it was known that Jiangjin was the domain of longevity, and centenarians spread all over the city and countryside. Siping Town, where my summer vacation house is located, is not only rich in twins, but also many long-lived elderly people. That year, I was bored driving up and down the slopes of the mountain in front of and behind the mountain, and I met a hundred-year-old woman who actually walked on the country road swaying and fluttering, saying that she was going to town to buy rock candy for her wife to buy sweatshirts. I said old man, you have a high life expectancy? Get in the car, I'll give you a ride. I helped her to the car, and she said she was born at the end of the Qing Dynasty, haha 10000. I said no, the hair is only gray like me, why do you maintain the old man?? What's the trick, put it to listen? She said what kind of maintenance, rural people are busy from beginning to night all day to black, shaving food in the soil, eating everything, three meals are fresh, the water is delicious, there is no ash in the air, smoke some of the leaf cigarettes they planted, drink some of their own grain wine, the days are free from comfortable and frank, there is no need to worry about it, but also ask the worries of their children and daughters and grandchildren, let them toss around the world by themselves! Haha days go by like this, a mixture is a hundred years.

Well said lightly, a mixture is a hundred years!

I remember that I have a Jiangjin Middle School student named Mou Wei, his grandmother lived for more than 100 years, his grandmother was 99 years old and the whole hundred years, I twice went to the town of Jijiang to participate in the birthday feast of the old man, personally witnessed the old man's style, and also wrote four oil poems and asked the scholar to write a banner of congratulations:

100-year-old gallery of life,

Bittersweet joy and sorrow are tasted.

When the gold will eventually be dissipated,

Mo Ruo's descendants are full of blessings.

Coincidentally, this time I went to Youxi Town to watch the district-level cultural relics protection unit "Zhenshou Gate". The Manchu Emperor gave this door to a 104-year-old woman of the local Yang xian clan, praising her for keeping her chastity after her husband's death and not changing her marriage to raise orphans to grow up. Sacrificing her personal physical needs to be happy and happy, she became a well-known moral model of that era and a long-lived old man, which also went down in history. This kind of chastity archway was spread throughout the urban and rural areas of China earlier, and the moral ethics in the meantime were bitter and bitter, and in the 19th century, when the average life expectancy was less than 40 years old, such an age was really rare. Looking at the atlas of the centenarians of Jiangjin edited by female writer Deng Yuxia, it is really a long-standing yangyang grand view of the group of sages, and Yu Zhen is proud of Jiangjin, the hometown of longevity. Here is not only good mountains and waters and good life, but also good times, good policies and good measures, including the best humanistic care, which makes more and more centenarians. Today's Jiangjin is no longer the seventy-year-old rarity of Du Gongbu's aria, but the life of a hundred years is not surprising!

This is my third visit to Nie Shuai's hometown.

The first time was in the early 1980s, when I taught at Jiangjin No. 1 Middle School (later restored to its old name Jiangjin Middle School) and wrote a group of essays by Marshal Nie Rongzhen when he was studying in the eighth class of junior high school, which was published in various media in the city. Jiangjin County TELEVISION decided to make a feature film "Footprints of Hometown" and asked me to write. Our group went to Wutan. At that time, Nie Shuai's former residence was still a rural pastoral appearance, very old and rustic, there were not many collections in the room, and naturally there was no regular road garden parking lot today. We also met Nie Shuaiyuan and Lady Long, tall, thin, amiable, and didn't say much. At that time, Mrs. Long lived in a wooden tile house on Wutan Street, and I went in with her to browse around, the decoration was very simple, and it was no different from the ordinary people's families at that time, but life was fully guaranteed.

I was deeply impressed by the winding old street of Wutan Town. The streets are full of wooden houses, there is no brick-concrete structure dry base element of the 60s and 70s, and the uneven stone slabs on the ground are covered with the imprints and vicissitudes of time. So much so that in the spring of 2018, I drove to Nie Shuai's hometown to participate in the meeting, and after the relevant agenda ended, I couldn't wait to go to The Old Street to see if Wutan Old Street had changed its face in the tide of the integration of cultural tourism in the old city. Walking to the old street, I was greatly relieved, still there, all still there, those wooden tile houses are still there, not turned into a greasy and slippery pop fake old town appearance; those concave and concave old stone roads are still there, not replaced by quite a sense of the times cement asphalt roads; although there are lantern plaques with the atmosphere of the times, they still retain the wind and bone charm of decades and hundreds of years ago, which is good!

This time I went to Nie Shuai's former residence again, unfortunately, the main hall was being repaired and did not have to be visited. However, Chong Kou Private School and Nie Jia DyeIng Workshop have been renovated and reopened. The fellow writers were full of joy, listening to the commentaries in detail in the two places, and taking countless pictures of the release of lyrics, it seems that the poems have been conceived and brewed in their hearts. However, I, who had not touched a brush since the third grade of elementary school, suddenly had courage and left an ink mark in Okiguchi Private School: the hometown of a great man. The word is clumsy and sincere, and it is written with admiration.

Jiangjin is famous for its selenium-rich world. The earth that runs in the water that flies in the sky is rich in selenium, so the Jiangjin people live a long life, so the Men and Women of Jiangjin are handsome and good, and Jiangjin has produced countless heroes Haojie literati inkers and scientific and technological talents... Jiangjin also produced twins, siping town twin village is really called Qingyan Village, the reason why the twin triplets are in groups, it is said that they drank selenium-rich mountain spring water, which provoked men and women from all over the world to come here to try their hands, making the little-known small mountain village is now difficult to find.

In recent years, it has become popular but it is the unbelievable Jiangjin selenium jade! From childhood to adulthood, it is familiar with Hetian jade, and Burmese jade red jade Kunlun jade, where have you heard of selenium jade? Until a netizen often showed off the stone he touched in the Sunxi River in his circle of friends, he was ashamed to say that the stone was comparable to Hetian Yu, and said that the Sunxi River was the river that flowed down from the mountains on all sides. I suddenly remembered that it was not the ditch under the slope of Siping Town near the town of Zhaiba in Xishui County, Guizhou Province? One summer, the writer Mr. Z and his wife came to Siping Town for a vacation, we both drove around the mountains inside and out, one day I heard that there are primeval forests under the slopes of the town, there are bandit towers, and you can also cross the provincial border to Guizhou... The two of us got excited and drove away.

There is indeed a lush forest under the slope, shaded by the sun, and a variety of species, but on a small scale; a watchtower has been abandoned for many years, painted with the iconic slogans of the sixties and seventies, and is not a rare thing. We went down the slope to the bottom of the ditch, wanted to go to the border of the brother province to slip, the bridge was broken, and the rainstorm continued for several days.

Guizhou Province is right in front of you, is there any reason not to travel? The two of us walked down the path down the ditch and crossed the river, but finally we missed the pain. Haha, the opposite village and the mountains on all sides with water, in fact, there is no difference, the same farm farm tools farm yard, the long crops are the same, the farmers speak with the same accent, eat and wear with the riding of the same seat, not to mention the ethnic minority brothers and sisters in strange costumes!

Disappointed. Just as he was about to drive away, Elder Z suddenly pointed to several people in the ditch and said, What are they doing? Looking at it, there were indeed a few people groping in the river, and there was a basket tied to the waist pole, and when they touched it, they threw it around for half a day, and occasionally took out a flashlight to take a few pictures, and it took a long time to put it in the basket. I said, what's so strange about touching fish and looking for shrimp? He said no, touched the fish where the flashlight is there? This matter is strange, go down and take a look!

Although Z writer is more than old, his curiosity is not reduced, his hands and feet are also very sharp, he quickly gets out of the car and jumps into the water, and quickly approaches those men with a splash, which frightens people! What are you doing? He shouted loudly. The men looked back to see a lean old man smiling and bowing behind him, knowing that it was not a gangster, and replied in unison, looking for the stone! This stone is rare, there are many on the dam of the big river, and Old Man Z is still roaring. He had bad ears. Haha old man, you don't know, this stone is not an ordinary stone, we call it Sunxi jade, and Hetian jade a quality. The tall man felt a large and a small one white and one black stone from the basket, and took a flashlight to take a picture of it.

Despite our doubts, we followed a few treasure hunters and touched a few stones and threw them in the trunk of the car up the hill to return to the house. For lunch someone please eat bean blossoms. I thought to myself, how many people did Huang Bo's "Crazy Stone" mislead? This four-sided mountain also has Wada Yu, dream to go! After returning to the city, the broken stones were thrown in the balcony pot by me until the previous year, when the flowers were planted and changed, and the cleaners threw them out.

Unexpectedly, this time to Go to Jiangjin, Fang Zhisunxi Jade has been officially named Jiangjin Selenium Jade by the state, and has formed a large industry and has a very active market. This selenium-rich jade is forming a kind of heat, forming a selenium jade culture that affects the economic life of many people in Jiangjin.

That day, a friend of the District Literary Association took us to a selenium jade market in The Eastern City of Several Rivers, and sure enough, we saw a lively store market and many roadside stalls, and saw a lot of colorful selenium jade rough stones and pendant ornaments, and many jade enthusiasts exchanged and displayed there. Asked for a price, there are several rough stones that are very similar to the stones I found in the Siping Ravine, and the opening is tens of thousands of oceans.

At that time, my blood pressure was rising, my head was dizzy, and I was calm for a long time. It is said that jade pays attention to fate, since there is no fate, why should it be bitter. I don't know if the thrown stone will be found by some fang family, but I hope it will not be abandoned forever in the vast expanse of the world.
