Grow in peace
Must be proud
Heping District is the central urban area of Tianjin, if anyone says that they are peaceful people, they must be old and proud!
Why? Because whether it is economic strength or humanistic history, Heping District is one of the best in Tianjin.
On the economy, it has many tertiary industry companies, is an important economic pillar of Tianjin; on the humanities, it has 76% of the historical style buildings and celebrity former residences in Tianjin, and the five avenues under its jurisdiction are known as the "International Construction Expo" and are national 4A-level tourist attractions.
Growing up in peace, in addition to being proud of it, you are more integrated with it and feel the strong breath of life it brings you. It is in response to that sentence: through the long alleys of the city, the gathering is fireworks, and the spread is the human world.
Growing up in Peace, you must have bought cloth and beaten vinegar at the Guiyang Road Cooperative. In the pigeon nest in Lanzhou Road, he smelled Wang Zhihe every day and chewed the garlic sausage of the Second Factory in his mouth. In the old South City, I heard about Tian Lihe's scene, tasted the tea there in the old Qinghua pond, and ate the green radish there.
Growing up in Peace, the duck oil bun of Tianjin Roast Duck Shop, the dog ignoring Shandong Road, the stone gate of Liaoning Road, the cold skin of Sesame Sauce of Sanheyi, and then the big skewers of Liaoning Road Snack Street, these are all full of memories for you!
Growing up in Peace, Baoji Road's flower, bird, fish and insect market you must have been. It includes mainstream flowers, potted plants, aquarium creatures, ornamental fish, cats and dogs and other pets, as well as hand-skewers and toys. It can be said that it is a pristine entertainment grand view garden.
It is also called Jili Garden, very easy to find, next to the Geely Building, opposite the Peace Center Primary School, take the subway at Yingkou Road or Anshan West Road Station to get off can be found smoothly.
You are not only here to buy things, but also to exchange experiences with various stores, how to raise flowers and grass, how to raise fish and pets, you can find the answer here. You can also find a few "treasures" in the photo and take them back to have fun.
Here we can see the attitude of the people of Tianjin and the pursuit of quality in peace. Because raising a pet or a plant must carefully observe its habits and spend time and energy to care for them. In this persistence and protection, the people of Tianjin can always experience and love life.
Growing up in Peace, Minyuan Stadium will surely leave you with unforgettable memories, it is located at 83 Chongqing Road. Here to witness the joys and sorrows of Tianjin football, when A and A swept the country, this is the temple of football in Tianjin, but in the Chinese Super League period, it was abandoned.
Later, there was no longer a figure of a football player here. In 2012, Heping District was upgraded to an area of 72,000 square meters, defined as a people's garden square for citizens to rest and exercise.
From the sports field to the theme park, it not only carries the football memories of many old peace people, but also like a monument with a makeover, standing on the bustling Five Avenues of Peace, greeting past tourists, writing new history for themselves, and creating new memories for new peace people.
Growing up in peace, you must have heard of Erchi, and you may have swum there yourself, which is a swimming treasure in the hearts of the people of Tianjin.
I still remember when I was a child, every summer, I and a few friends spent very little money to "wade in the water" in the second pool. At that time, many units also issued group tickets, or went to the second pool to get a card. Every time you go back there, the staff will stamp a stamp on the card and tell you: "Pay attention to the watch inside, overtime deduction!" ”
At that time, the conditions and environment of the second pool were quite good, and many people came here to swim. Later, I heard that because of the accident, fewer and fewer people went. Erchi also fell lonely, and by 2007 it was completely closed, ending half a century of glorious years.
Later, Erchi became dilapidated due to its disrepair, but the slogan "Enhance the people's physique" on the wall is still clearly visible.
At the beginning of 2021, some citizens left a message in the column "Zero Distance between Politics and The People" under the Northern Network, saying that the Erchi had been abandoned for so many years, and the weasel had become a disaster! It is hoped that the relevant departments can repair the second pool and give full play to its greatest role. The Municipal Sports Bureau replied that it would start the construction plan of the plot this year and further study the multiple uses of the second pool in the future.
If The Second Pond is really rebuilt and unveiled in front of you with a new look after upgrading, will you still find the good memories of swimming in the water as a child?
Growing up in Peace, the old peace people must know the Peace Cinema, which is the predecessor of the current Xiaobailou Concert Hall.
Old Tianjin Wei once circulated a saying: watching movies to ping an, the film company counts the power immortals. Ping An Cinema was built in 1922 at Racecourse Road in the old British Concession, which is today's 30 Zhejiang Road.
Not the old peace people may not often pass by the Ping An Cinema, you know that at the beginning of its establishment, it played world-class Hollywood blockbusters, and the attendance rate was extremely high. In 1929, the sound film "Song and Dance" of the Fox Company of the United States was broadcast, which created a precedent for screening sound films in Tianjin.
In 1956, after the Ping An Cinema was nationalized, it became the Tianjin Concert Hall. Until 2005, it was demolished and rebuilt, which lasted four years and built a new concert hall.
Today, it is still a favorite place for Tianjin citizens to go. Many people reflect that the sound effect is very good, the management is also very strict, very clean and tidy. Some people also recalled that this was the place where they first dated their lovers, and more than ten years later, and then they went with their children, and it was the concert hall that witnessed their love.
Growing up in Peace, the post-80s generation must remember that on June 1, 1994, Tianjin ushered in the first McDonald's, which opened on binjiang Road. At that time, we were in elementary school or middle school, and we could only "enjoy it once" if we scored a hundred or had a birthday.
At that time, when I went to McDonald's to eat a meal, I could show it in front of my friends, and the sense of superiority in my heart exploded. Taking a photo with Uncle McDonald is the happiest and happiest thing!
After 20 years, McDonald's has opened 2,000 stores in Tianjin, and the expansion rate is amazing.
Time crept by, and with the redecoration of this McDonald's on Riverside Road, we can clearly feel its change. Someone found that Uncle McDonald was missing, and it seemed difficult to take another photo with him.
Looking at other McDonald's, it is difficult to find his figure. Uncle McDonald disappeared from our vision and became a childhood memory of the post-80s generation.
Today's McDonald's is no longer a place for young children to show off, and with the improvement of people's living standards, it has become one of the most common fast food.
It gives people no longer a sweet, happy taste, but a convenient and convenient way to order food, nothing more.
Growing up in peace, there is another place that people remember and forget, and that is the Cheese Forest. Most people who have been to Cheeseland for Western food will order cans of braised beef and orange cream popsicles there. Even if you don't go there, you can smell the fragrant chocolate smell of Kishilin every day when you pass by school and work, which is unforgettable!
Nowadays, the friends who live near The Cheese forest, do not look at their homes that have long been turned into the Triumphal Arch Building, and the Cheese Forest is also human, without the previous taste...
Speaking of eating, there are also Dodge fast food on Liaoning Road, Yile fast food chat bar on the side of the department store, Xinghua Village in Kaifeng Road, Hongfu Building on the dagu intersection of Xuzhou Road and kebabs around the corner, all of which have the footprints of generations of youth and warm memories.
Growing up in Peace, mentioning that There is no Tianjin people who do not know heping Road and Binjiang Road is definitely not an exaggeration, and the meaning of their existence is like Wangfujing in Beijing and Nanjing Road in Shanghai.
Heping Road was founded in 1902 and was formerly known as Du Consul Road and Roosevelt Road. In 1953, it was renamed "Peace Road" with the meaning of "love of peace", which is the cradle of modern Tianjin commerce.
Excerpt from Tianjin Memories by Mr. Wang Tai
Remember Aelian near here? It was the girl brand endorsed by big S. Legend has it that whoever has one can meet the Prince Charming in their hearts. Later, there were more than N other brands here, but now they are all out of business.
In the past, as long as you go to Heping Road, you had to visit the "Hat King", but now it is no longer there. The popularity that was once hot has now become cold and cold, leaving only the figure of three or three in twos.
Let's talk about the "pigeon nest" on Binjiang Road, which was also famous at that time, just like the various goods in the big alley before, where you can find your favorite and cheap treasures.
At that time, the "pigeon nest" was like a fashion vane in Tianjin, and people would always come here every once in a while to see if there were any fashionable clothes or what new styles were out.
Nowadays, such sales methods have long been banned by the relevant departments. In order to make Tianjin more clean and tidy, the "pigeon nest" has withdrawn from the historical stage and exists in the memory of the post-80s and post-90s.
Now Heping Road and Binjiang Road have become the world of tourists from other places who come to Tianjin. Most of the former original residents moved to the vicinity of the Outer Ring Road, and the population of the new residences was increasing, so new commercial complexes appeared in the Outer Ring Road, such as Aeon and Yinli.
Growing up in peace, even if you have witnessed the small alleys being replaced by high-rise buildings, you still can't forget the scene when every family got up in the morning to light a stove. At that time, the old people took baskets and small pots to buy soybean berry fruits early in the morning, and the deep alleys turned left and right, nodding and greeting the neighbors along the way, and the beautiful day began.
Now we are in a spacious, neat building, we can communicate with strangers on the Internet, but who knows what the name of the neighbor to the door is?
Today, there are still some indigenous people in the Heping Zone who have not moved, and there are three reasons why they do not move: they cannot be demolished, they cannot afford it, and they cannot sell it. This can't help but make people lament that behind the economic prosperity of the peace zone, there are hidden difficulties in the life of the peaceful natives. But the old peace people always have an optimistic attitude, like the vines wrapped around the old house, always full of vitality and hope.
It is gratifying that the Heping District recently announced the news of the demolition and reconstruction of some old residential areas, which is undoubtedly a great joy for the residents of the Heping Shantytown! Wenxingli, located between Plaza 66 and Tianhe City, will be rebuilt in situ; the shantytowns of ten streets, including Heping Road, Binjiang Road and Shenyang Road, will face renovation and reconstruction; and Golden Street Wanda Plaza has also officially changed its name to Peace Impression City and is expected to open next year.
Some netizens said that the shantytown should have been demolished long ago, and the Golden Street Wanda plot has been deserted for many years, and it is time to restore vitality. In just a few words, you can feel their helplessness and beautiful vision for the future.
Growing up in Peace, you must also have a special affection for these place names, Xing'an Road, Zhamen Street, Rongji Street, Duolun Road, Jiamusi Road, Anshan Road, Siping East Road, Hami Road, Jinzhou Road, Changchun Road, Binjiang Road, Harbin Road, Chifeng Road, Dandong Road, Chengde Road, etc.

Growing up in peace, there are too many memories to remember, and every scene has accompanied us through our youth or spent the first half of our lives with us. People of different ages have different feelings about the Zone of Peace, and the only constant is its weight in our hearts.
Today, it is still a symbol of Tianjin's prosperity and the pride of our Tianjin people!
