Dream dissolved window ledge

First, the vine-wrapped tiger window
In the autumn of that year, a photograph by photographer Wu Jiuyi, entitled "The Tiger Window", rose to prominence in the world of photography and won a grand prize in a competition organized by UNESCO.
Some critics have said that the red tiles of the red brick façade, such as the vine-entangled tiger windows on the scaly roof, and the heat on the roof tiles of the tiger windows, remind people of the attic behind the tiger windows, where water leaks during the thunderstorm season and the cold wind in winter penetrates through the cracks in the wooden windows. "The Window" won the prize because the author recreated a piece of the history of a city through the slot window; some critics said that the tiger window through the vines reminded people of the different mood of shanghainese; and some people dismissively stated that this is the result of a random shutter.
For a time, opinions were divided.
It is indeed the result of a shutter press, but not randomly.
Photographer Ping Su saved money, he bought an old Seagull 203 camera without a flash for eighty yuan, and used the money he saved for tourism. He used to cycle around the 2,420 square kilometers of Taihu Lake, and he also rode his bicycle from Shanghai to Moganshan, Zhejiang Province, 200 kilometers away. Whether it is watching the churning sea of clouds in Huangshan Mountain or watching the thin sunrise on the top of Mount Tai, whether it is the rapids on the Sichuan River or the fishing fires on the Li River at night, whether it is the magnificent scenery of the Great Wall or the ethnic minority customs on the MiaojiaZhai, he will never return.
Ding Xuguang novel
Looking back after searching for him for thousands of degrees, Wu Jiuyi's gaze was fixed behind the tiger skylight on the bouncy road and the sloped roof; he remained in the narrow, dim, and surprisingly inclined wooden staircase behind the thick black lacquered gate. In this way, there was a tiger window with vines.
The vine-wrapped tiger window also made me dream back to that year...
Through the tiger window, my gaze was glued to the pair of jade legs on the sunbathing table. Unfortunately, the owner of the jade leg is not Iger!
White face, slightly Europa lines, high forehead, slender but not prominent nose bridge, no matter from which angle you look at her, she is extremely beautiful, sweet, there is a temperament that she is in the crowd, but can suddenly attract your gaze to the past - even if you look at her back - whether you are male or female. Such a woman, only charming, never has age.
She is the little Egger in my Shikumen.
Through the misty rain curtain, I walked on the side of Datong Winery.
It was a big vacant lot. In the open space, there are rain flowers blooming. The blooming rain flowers took me to that autumn decades ago, a dusk in the rain.
The golden yellow leaves swayed in the autumn wind, swaying her graceful and colorful. In my dream, yiren, who was fascinated by my heart, walked into the rain with a swing, and then walked into my anxious eyes. The purple trench coat, like the golden leaves, danced in the autumn wind.
Unexpectedly, I and I met Eger, that is, Pingping, many years later.
Aigle is the green plum bamboo horse in my Shikumen. I met again with Eger, not in winter, but in the mysterious autumn rain.

The rain stopped. There are slight flowers wafting, and the night air begins to cool...
When I think of the encounter, I think of Ding Jia Li in Lane 1219, and when I think of Ding Jia Li, I think of the loquat tree with the thickness of an arm in the crack in the wall above the front door lintel in front of our patio.
Lane 1219 is next door to Lane 1217. Lane 1217 has only five households, and twenty houses are neatly connected. In addition to four, there are more than a dozen rooms belonging to the Dai family. When I was a child, we called Lane 1217 Datong Winery, which was the property of the Dai family. There are ten brothers and sisters in the Dai family, and there are eight brothers. The dai family was originally a member of the city wrestling team. Therefore, on the side of Datong Winery, there is a homemade wrestling field.
At night, I used to run around the wrestling ring with Pingping. Or, play in the 1217 Lane next door to Hou Li. Later, we learned that Ding Weizhong, Pingping's husband, who later changed her name to Aigel, had also been taught by Dai Lao'er.
