The river breeze outside the office building window blows slowly, and the smell of the bougainvillea is still wet; the silver swallows on the felt hat mountain rise and fall, full of three gorges children coming and going; the blue sky is paved in front of the eyes, the top is floating white clouds, and the mist between the forests is like a fine veil, like the scene in the heavens and the earth in the movie, and beside it, it is actually surrounded by green water! This is where I work and live every day – Lake City Wanzhou.
I don't know when I started, I developed a habit, every morning to work, I have to come to the office on the south bank of the Yangtze River at least twenty minutes in advance, standing in front of the window on the 7th floor to look out, on the left is the Shixian Li Bai poetry of the land of Taibaiyan, on the right is du Lishan, which has a strong Taoist and Buddhist flavor, and directly opposite is the Three Kingdoms Liu Beitun Soldier and the Wanzhou Shou general General KangYuan Tiansheng City. At their feet is Wanzhou Ping Lake, which spans more than a kilometer wide and cannot distinguish between incoming and outgoing water.
The huge lake, blue as jade, smoke waves, people can not get tired of seeing, can not see enough. Whenever this happens, my heart will always gush with unbearably comfortable feelings, sometimes I will remember Zhang Ruoxuan's sentence "At this time, I don't know each other, I wish to shine on the king month by month", and sometimes I will remember Fan Zhongyun's sentences of "up and down the sky, a blue sky", "floating light leaping gold, quiet shadow sinking". However, like many people in Wanzhou, my favorite recitation is the verse in "Water Tune Song Head Swimming": more erection of the stone wall of the Xijiang River, truncated the clouds and rain of Wushan Mountain, and the high gorge out of the Ping Lake. The goddess should be unharmed, and be amazed by the world.
Needless to say, you have already guessed that the PingHu Lake here is actually a huge water body formed in the Three Gorges reservoir area after the Three Gorges Project has been impounded. Such a body of water has never existed in history. The lake is so clear and so blue, it has never been seen in the history of the Yangtze River. In the history of Wanzhou, the perennial water level of the Yangtze River water body is mostly about 90 meters, even if the flood outbreak that has not been encountered in a hundred years is only more than 100 meters. Today, it has risen to a height of 175 meters. Think about it, the straight 80 meters of water suddenly rose up, what kind of shock it was! In the past, the river roared wildly, but now it is very docile, for the first time according to people's will, let it flow, let it lie down, and gather into a lake, such as a quiet woman, just between the Yangtze River Bridge in Wanzhou and the Second Yangtze River Bridge, it has formed a huge lake with a circumference of more than 20 kilometers, and the water area is larger than the 4 West Lakes. Because of this, the original mountain city of Wanzhou and Jiangcheng Wanzhou were suddenly feathered into Hucheng Wanzhou. This is not to mention, with Wanzhou Pinghu as the center, the north-south Binjiang Avenue as the ring line, the small mountain city of Wanzhou, has actually entered the era of the ring city that can never be imagined.
The water of Pinghu Lake is so green that it refreshes people's hearts, and what makes the people of Wanzhou more pleasing to the eye is the intertwined yellow kudzu trees on both sides of Pinghu Lake. Tall and tall, leaning on stone competition, deep roots and lush leaves, and single-tree forests are the most significant characteristics of the yellow kudzu tree in the reservoir area. Wanzhou people are born with a complex of yellow kudzu trees, in front of and behind the house, at intersections, and on ancient roads, often standing up lush yellow kudzu trees. Whether it is a wanderer in another country or a move away from the homeland, the yellow ge tree will always be the most beautiful nostalgia in the hearts of wanzhou people. The school's literary club held poetry clubs, the first choice of place is under the Yellow Kudzu Tree, and even the supplement of the local newspaper was named "Yellow Kudzu Tree", and from here even some well-known writers in the country came out.
When millions of immigrants relocated, people far away from their homeland were most relieved by the yellow kudzu tree in front of the door, and they took a group photo under the tree. No matter where you go, the yellow kudzu tree is the root of immigration, and the yellow kudzu tree is the difficult feeling of wanzhou people. Some immigrants would rather give up some of their belongings than take a small yellow kudzu sapling and transplant it to other places, which has since been named "homesick tree". The city's managers deeply understand the citizens' reluctance to the Yellow Ge Tree, and at the moment of the attack of the immigration sales number, although the time is pressing, they still hang the Yellow Kudzu Tree in their hearts, not only transplanting them one by one to the north and south Riverside Avenues, but also carefully numbering the "special immigrants" under the submerged line one by one. When Gaoxia Pinghu Became a Reality, the municipal department, in conjunction with the local media, consulted the archives of each transplanted Yellow Kudzu tree, and according to the number, made into exquisite cards and hung them on the tree one by one, so that the citizens could find the Yellow Kudzu tree from their own door. At the same time, it also collects stories about Huang Geshu from the society, sets up awards, and invites the public to participate. For a time, the streets and alleys flowed with the thick and warm stories of the citizens. Many citizens not only found the yellow kudzu tree next to their old houses, but also wrote beautiful and touching articles. The yellow kudzu tree has become a ubiquitous nostalgia in the hearts of the citizens. The famous writer of the Three Gorges, Xiang Qiuwei, has long been full of children and grandchildren, and an indispensable reservation content for the Spring Festival every year is to lead the whole family to take a group photo under the Yellow Kudzu tree, and has successively written articles such as "A Hundred Years of Yellow Kudzu Tree, a Family Of Three Generations Cannot Love" and other articles. A young local author, with the title of "Found the Yellow Ge Tree", wrote a touching story of street cadres looking for the Yellow Ge Tree for the migrants who returned home to visit their relatives, and won the first place in the speech contest held in the city...
Walking in the urban area of Wanzhou, you can often see such a scene: in the flower bed, under the leafy yellow kudzu tree, the roots of the strong yellow kudzu tree are like waterfalls, or spread over, or pass through, and even the stone strips with the edges of the flower bed have been wrapped in it, making it part of the yellow kudzu tree. The Yellow Kudzu Tree not only witnesses the historical changes of Hucheng Wanzhou, but also infects many tourists from other places, and they cannot bear to leave for a long time under the Yellow Kudzu Tree.
The river has become a lake, the river city has become a lake city, and the way of life of wanzhou people is undergoing profound changes day by day. Looking around, the signboards named "Pinghu", such as Pinghu Technical School, Pinghu Calligraphy and Painting Institute, Pinghu Printing Society, Pinghu Film and Television Base, etc., are lined up one after another. When the sun is shining, Pinghu Lake is the best place for couples to take wedding photos. Whenever there is leisure time, "going to Jiangnan" is an inevitable choice for citizens. Friends and family come, the first tourist destination that Wanzhou people are most willing to recommend is the riverside tour around the lake.
Mountains in the distance, such as Dai; water in the near distance, like silk. In the face of the green water of the lake, even an old Wanzhou person, returning from many years of going out, it is difficult to distinguish which is upstream and which is downstream.
If "the city is full of river view houses" is the greatest satisfaction that Pinghu Lake brings to the people of Wanzhou, then, from the completion of the relocation and construction of the lake city and the presentation of the lake city, the people of Wanzhou have begun to do articles around the lake, by injecting more cultural and tourism elements into the lake, to create a model of the ecological conservation demonstration area of the Three Gorges Reservoir Area, so as to achieve the protection goal of the mother river with bluer sky, clearer water and greener mountains. At the beginning of the rising water, "go to the river to see the water" is the water life of Wanzhou people after tea and dinner; when the water is full, "to see the sea in Wanzhou District" has become the latest buzzword. The ancient ten scenic spots of Wanzhou, such as the Golden Island Yinfu, the Shiqin Xiangxue, the MothMei Moraine Moon and the Cen Dong Water Curtain, have been permanently sunk to the bottom of the river, but the nine mountains around the city have been included in the planning, and the mountaintop park will be established in turn. 175, originally a number, represents the highest height of the Three Gorges Reservoir, but in Wanzhou, 175 is not just a number, it represents Geng Zhi, is refreshing, is perfect. When three or five friends got together, one end of the wine glass said: Full, another 175! In Wanzhou, cheers have been replaced by 175. Every year on the occasion of winter, winter swimmers in Wanzhou will choose to cross from the submerged south gate to hold an oath to witness the 175-meter water storage, and enthusiasts from Sichuan, Shaanxi, Hubei, Chongqing, Xiang, Qian, Guizhou and other places have come to participate in the swimming friendly competition. Photography enthusiasts held photography competitions around Pinghu, the Academy of Fine Arts identified Hucheng Wanzhou as a base for student sketching, and various artists organized by the literary and art department came to collect endless streams. The transportation department has specially opened a riverside bus around the lake, with a running route of about 30 kilometers and a unilateral driving time of about 70 minutes. Students from the Physical Education Department of Chongqing Three Gorges University regard this place as a classroom. Bicycle races around the lake and fishing races around the lake from all over the country are also held. In order to protect the clear water of a river, garden workers are inlaid with lace for the PingHu Lake in the era of the ring city - planting bougainvillea along the line. The Drift boats traveled back and forth in the lake, and Liu Gujun, the captain of the Qing Drift Team who was known as the "King of The Drift", also won the Fifth Mother River Award.
When the moon is empty, when you and your lovers are hanging arm in arm by the river, and even remembering the moment when the lake first rose millimeter by centimeter, you can also look at poetry and distant places.
In the Wanzhou dialect, some people pronounce "h" and "f" without distinction, and "Hucheng Wanzhou" is often pronounced as "Fucheng Wanzhou". It seems that the days of world shock are still ahead!
