The area east of Caishikou has a long history, with many guild halls and former residences of celebrities, among which there are two hutongs with very auspicious names: Beidaji Lane and Nandaji Lane. When the Caidong area was demolished, the demolition office borrowed the names of these two hutongs to give them a nice name - "Daji Tablet".
Say goodbye to Daji Katae - The Alley Watcher
The "Daji Tablets" with a long history, the "Daji Tablets" with many cultural relics, and the "Daji Tablets" with beautiful names will soon exist in name only. The disappearance of the hutong means that a rich and long history is about to end, a kind and warm way of life is about to become the past, but it cannot erase the hutong people in the depths of memory, the interesting pictures of the life of the hutong people, those who are leisurely carrying bird cages, humming Peking Opera songs, simple and kind shaking bananas, strolling in the hutongs - let me really feel that plain and indifferent is the real truth, and these can only be the past.
One last look at you, the "big piece" that is about to disappear forever, let me send you your last journey in this way, and when I see you again, I think it will be in a dream.
The caged birds chirp, the pigeons mutter, are they talking to each other? Or is it telling people something? Time and time again, I wondered if their inner world could be as vast as green bricks and gray tiles hovering among the tall buildings? Can it still have the unique taste of old Beijing?
If these trees left on the wasteland could speak, perhaps they would tell many stories of what they have experienced, telling the lives of the people behind brick by brick. But now, in the face of broken waste, what else can they say?
