#Torrent999#
On July 19, 2011, he took photos on Changchun Gongnong Road, from the intersection of Hongqi Street to Xinmin Square. In the 1960s, Hongqi Street was still very clean, and at night, hongqi street and workers' and peasants' road intersections could hardly see pedestrians. In the summer of 1965, I walked past the Workers' and Peasants' Road, and in the distance I saw a small blast furnace making iron near the intersection of Hulin Street and Fujin Road, with a roaring fan and a burst of flames. Around 1962, in the location of today's Eurasian Commercial Capital Building, a very beautiful building was built at that time--- the main building of the Changchun Institute of Geography of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, which is no longer there today. There is a tram railway along the north of Gongnong Road, one way to the east, the other road to the west, and the intersection of Hongqi Street is the starting station. From 1972 to 1975, I went to Changchun Seventeen Middle School, and almost every day I went to Hongqi Street to take the tram station back to Jianshe Street, and the student's monthly pass was half price, 1 yuan per month, and there was no limit to the number of rides.
The photos are shown below in the order in which they were taken.
Figures 1 and 2, Hongqi Street, Workers' and Peasants Road intersection, Jilin Provincial Hospital Building. As early as the 1950s, the Jilin Provincial Hospital built the main building of the hospital here, and pine trees were planted around it, and the "Gong" shaped main building was not as large as it is today.
Figures 3 and 4, Paris Spring Department Store. In the 1960s and 1970s, the building was vacant and surrounded by poplar trees. In the early sixties, it was a free market, where individual vendors sold goods and fried fritters. Later it became the Parking Lot of Changchun Tramway Company.

Figures 7 and 8, south of the Workers' and Peasants' Road, the north gate of the Provincial Hospital Building. In the past, the old building of the provincial hospital did not have a north gate, and it was a pine forest near the Workers' and Peasants' Road.

Figures 10 and 11, Bainaohui Building. In the summer of 1974, I worked as a laborer in this building for two weeks. At that time, the two low buildings in the location of the Bainaohui Building were demolished. Our 17th Middle School students came here on the task of digging the foundation in the back building and resting in the pine forest of the provincial hospital compound on the west side of Hulin Street at noon. Now it seems that the foundation building we dug has also disappeared and become today's Bainaohui Building.

Figure 14, the bus station of the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine is the "nail household" of the Workers' and Peasants' Road. In the 1960s and 1970s, the north side of the road was the Long Shadow Second Dormitory, and the second dormitory was east of a primary school, the main building of reinforced concrete, the surface of the building was yellow, without any decoration, and the east wall was obviously damaged, which is estimated to be the remnants of the previous war.
Figure 15, Prosperous City, with a Carrefour sign on the wall, when the new life in Eurasia had not yet been stationed. It was farmland in the 1960s. In the early 1970s, the main building of the Changchun Institute of Physics was built, with five floors, which was the tallest building in Xinmin Square. In the spring of 1974, I took a photograph at the north gate of South Lake Park against the backdrop of the main building of the Institute of Physics, but now the photograph cannot be found. At that time, the pine trees near the north gate of South Lake Park were just half a person tall, and now they have become towering trees. At the end of the 1950s, the Changchun municipal government organized the people to plant trees around the South Lake, and the pine forests began to grow from then on. Under the South Lake Dam there is a trip along the Gongnong Road roadside larch forest, neatly arranged, in 1962 these larchs were just over one person tall. "The predecessors planted trees, the descendants cooled", today's towering tree shade to visit nanhu park, the most should be thanked is the older generation of people in Changchun to pay hard work. After I joined the work in the early 1980s, every year the Arbor Day unit used a car to pull us to Jingyuetan to plant trees. The last tree planting was an exception in 1990, when the location was changed to the south of the First Automobile Plant, near Datun.

Figure 17, HNA Changbaishan Hotel, formerly known as Changbaishan Hotel. Founded in 1977, the main body was completed in 1979, and later became a famous foreign-related hotel in Changchun, and the first high-rise building in Changchun. In 1975 the location of the hotel was still cornfield. At the same time as the hotel was completed, Xinmin Square began a large-scale renovation, turning the pine-strewn square into what it is today. The location of the courtyard gate of Changbaishan Hotel is the tram railway of that year, and Hongqi Street runs to Changchun Railway Station.
