During the Spring Festival, the creative window period, we drove a big G to the main city of Chongqing to find some inspiration, hysterical and after going to see the flowers, we finally stopped at Zhongshan 4th Road.
If you are a native of Chongqing, he will definitely tell you that Zhongshan Fourth Road is a must-visit place to come to Chongqing, in fact, it is different from those prestigious Internet celebrity places, but a very quiet street, even in the rush hour of traffic, once you turn into the shade, you can get a sense of tranquility.
Later, because of "Young You", this road became a net red avenue, but the yellow horn trees that grew from the stone crevices in front of the municipal party committee were enough to prove that this street of only 800 meters recorded an irreproducible history.
It is wonderful to stop at a large G and look through the rectangular front window to savor these changes, as if the times can be restored to any desired stage, and the common denominator between the two is classic and timeless.
It's the same as driving this car to stay on Huashan Road or Julu Road in Shanghai, where only history can overlap with time.
See this description on the Internet:
Perhaps there are countless people who have visited here, just rubbed shoulders with this place, and they are about to wave goodbye. But for another group of people, the "Zhongshan Fourth Road" is not only the so-called old Chongqing in the eyes of others, but also the old place rooted in the depths of the heart;
They had seen the yellow oak trees in the middle of summer gently wrapping their branches together in mid-air, and they also knew the depression and silence of the streets when they were bare after the cold fronts of winter crossed.
Therefore, for this place, every era can see its importance, from the cultural celebrities gathered in the capital, including the famous Guo Moruo, liu Yazi of the two parties of the famous earthquake and so on.
By the 1980s, although the aura of wartime had faded, the streets were filled with government offices, hospitals and schools, shops and restaurants, liquor stores, teahouses, and cinema bathhouses. Every day, people come and go, and the smell of fireworks and life in the streets is still unforgettable.
For our generation, in addition to the organs and units on Zhongshan Fourth Road, there are several landmarks with very deep memories.
The first is the Xiangyang Cinema located at the intersection of Zhongshan 4th Road in Shangqing Temple, which is called one of the oldest cinemas in Chongqing, originally called "cooperative cinema", which belonged to the kind of queue to buy tickets, queue to enter the scene, although there is no popcorn and happy fat boy water, but there is a crisp background sound of collective melon seeds.
The second place is jiuyuan buns, this bun originated in 1931, the owner is called Su Zejiu, an early revolutionary army officer, after hanging a sword to retire, funded by friends to open a bun shop at the mouth of the field that year, the shop took its name "nine", meaning "long-lasting".
But Jiuyuan buns are not just for selling a brand, the superior meat quality, delicious taste, so that many people come to admire, even if the price is slightly expensive, it will be in short supply.
And this bun shop is still there, but it has been changed to a chain store, and the variety is also more abundant, in addition to the various stuffed buns, as well as soy milk and oil tea, very delicious.
Finally, there is the Shangqing Temple Bath, which was the bathhouse of that era, which was one of the four major baths under the Municipal Catering Service Company, an absolute state-owned enterprise, and also belonged to the landmark buildings of the time.
It is set up on the street, and there is a wooden ladder at the entrance, down the wooden ladder, the left is the male guest room, and the right is the female guest room. Men's guest room set up a large pool, two dimes per person, another for Jane big pool, the price of one dime and two points, buy a ticket and give a matchbox size of soap, and then hold the ticket to push open the heavy cotton curtain, a hot gas rushed in, the fog filled the entire bathroom, suddenly there is a feeling of being placed in the clouds, it can be said that the first to wash people.
Today, these historical imprints seem to have faded, but in fact, they are evolving behind the scenes, and movie theaters have become popular for 3D, bun shops can order online at any time, and bathrooms with luxurious SPA.
And even so, when people stay on the streets of Zhongshan Fourth Road, they can still smell the original smell and stroll through the shots they want.
I think back to when I first started doing automotive media, the newspaper borrowed a G55, and in order to shoot this square box, I squatted on the ground and created all day, and after each shutter, I always felt that it could be more perfect.
Later, the big G has the G500, G63 and this G350, and although there is a span in the power of these three cars, the form has not changed.
Just like the two genres of media photography, one is the equipment category, Leica, Hasselblad, as long as there are conditions, they want to start, in order to find different light photos; the other is the mobile phone school, pay attention to portability, lightness, but more pursuit of angle and post.
Each G-Class has its own positioning, depending on who it is suitable for, and the most essential place is that it has experienced nearly 40 years of precipitation, and its ability to contact the ground has not been affected by the times.
