In the old street of Wancheng Town, Wanning City, an old man sat in front of his old house, quietly watching the people on the old street.
I have been living in Wanning City, Hainan Province for several years, and when I am idle, I always like to go to some old neighborhoods in Wanning City to take a look, especially like the old streets of Wanning City. According to reports, Wanning Old Street has a long history of more than 1360 years, is one of several famous ancient cities in Hainan Province, and is the soul and memory of Wanning.
The old street of Wanning City, the street is very narrow, in the empty streets and alleys, there are not many people, it seems lonely, old, gloomy, but a little more idyllic. Strolling through this mottled and quaint old street, people can't help but think back to the passage of time, the shops on both sides of the street are still inlaid with old-fashioned door panels, which seem to be quaint screens, and occasionally a few old people sit on the small bench in front of the door, looking lonely and indifferent. In the hearts of Wanning people, Laojie is like an old man with insight into the world, who is sophisticated and indifferent.
Green brick tiles, columns, wooden lofts... The years are long, the wind and rain are drifting, the mottled walls, the incomplete sculptures, the narrow streets are lined with two-story wooden attics, which exude a simple atmosphere under the oblique sun, showing the unique charm and unique style of Wancheng Old Street, witnessing the humanistic history of Wanning and those ancient stories.
The memories of Laojie people's childhood are preserved in historical monuments such as the "Chaozhou Guild Hall", although they are already mottled.

With the passage of time and the change of the times, the old street has no prosperity of the past, and those old streets look like a few alleys; the residents of the old street are still those old residents, they are like the old street, kind and peaceful, in their hearts, the old street is not only a symbol, but also their inner home. They have long understood every piece of green bricks and tiles on the old street, and they have read the culture precipitated by the old street. Perhaps, before long, the old street will face the possibility of demolition, but those years that have passed with the old street will forever be burned in the depths of their memories.
