"Uncle Wenyi" treasured treasures from the ruins
Chen Keqin is a "literary and artistic uncle" who is more than half a hundred years old. Speaking of his fate with the old house number, it began six or seven years ago. At that time, the pace of transformation of Ruian's old city accelerated, and some old houses in old streets and alleys were demolished in pieces. He usually likes to collect old objects, and he has become interested in "Taobao" in the rubble pile. "I remember picking up the first discarded door number at the Three Holy Doors, and I thought at the time that each old door number has its own story, and now although they have completed their historical mission and lost their use value, they have a special value and are the best memory preservation in the old city." After that, he consciously collected the door number and began a "collection journey".
At the end of December 2019, in order to decorate his clothing store, Chen Keqin came up with an idea: nailing the door numbers he collected to the wooden door panels, which had both decorative effects and humanistic feelings. Among these old door numbers, most of the "old homes" are located in the newly demolished area of the south gate and the Ximen Hetou area, including Shixin Street, Dasheng Lane, Zhumu Street, etc., as well as some earlier demolished General Road, Shimu Lane and so on.
Since the display of these house numbers, the "house number wall" located at No. 55 New Street in the downtown area has become a check-in point for Internet celebrities, and many citizens have also offered to "sacrifice" their old house numbers. After an old uncle of a demolition household saw this display wall, he sent his "No. 47 North Post and Telecommunications Road" door number the next day. Some citizens also saw their old house numbers on display and regretted that they had lost their "heirlooms". More citizens gave Chen Keqin a thumbs up: "You have done a good thing!" ”
"One year on the Chongyang Festival, a few old gentlemen came, and after seeing so many house numbers, they were very excited, saying that these door numbers were reminiscent of the streets and alleys they had walked before, and they also evoked many memories." Chen Keqin said.
I want to make the collection of old door numbers more systematic
House number collection process, regret and happiness coexist. After a heavy rainstorm on the evening of May 18, 2020, Chen Keqin drove past jiefang road that was being demolished, habitually got out of the car to look, and found that the edge of a rotten piece of wood revealed a red old door number "Jiefang Middle Road 210", and the house number was washed clean by the rain. "The moment I picked up the door number, it was as if I had the whole world, and the excitement at that time was indescribable." Chen Keqin said.
"In the past two years, more and more house numbers have been collected, and now there are more than 1,000 pieces, and the old place is too small, so it moved to Zhongyi Street." The store's house number display wall and display cabinets, coupled with the display wall on the street, look quite large. Chen Keqin said.
In the display case, Xiao Yijun saw a wooden door number collected by Chen Keqin, which was about 17 centimeters wide and about 12 centimeters long, and wrote in traditional Script from right to left: "No. 122, No. 122, Jianguo Middle Road, Northeast Town, Ruian County."
"This wooden door plate has been identified by the city's literary and historical scholars, which is about the Republic of China period, and has a history of about a hundred years. Mr. Zhou Guangxian, who is nearly 90 years old, introduced that there were 6 towns in Ruian County during the Republic of China, namely Northeast Town, Southeast Town, Southwest Town, Northwest Town, Yongfeng Town and Yongsheng Town, and this wooden door number is the best physical evidence of Northeast Town in the Republic of China period. Chen Keqin introduced.
