I have always wanted to return to my hometown to travel through the distant years, but I know that it has long changed, it is said to be abandoned, after all, nearly 50 years have passed, 48 years to be precise, where I have stored the most complete childhood memories, green mountains, red bricks and green tiles, and the endless beach salt ponds and the sand that fly on the beach...
In my childhood memories, I saw the scene of the ruins of the original site of the hospital in front of my home when the reservoir was flooded by the water of the reservoir, that is, the remnants of the leprosy hospital (that is, the workers' and peasants' and soldiers' hospital) in the big city of Travel when I was a child, and I also swam by the boat under the leadership of my brother in the place where the original site became a reservoir, and in a flash, I remember from there I crossed the mountain of the Hua copper mine, from the Pine Reservoir to the new site of the workers' and peasants' and soldiers' hospital that was water on three sides, and on the other side was the new site of the workers' and peasants' and soldiers' hospital on the mountain, and I remember that there may be two roads leading to the outside. One was a car and the other was a road that led to the Hua copper mine, the mountain was really high, and there was a fox hole at the pole of the mountain when I was a child, and it was full of my childhood imagination... It's beautiful there!
48 years later, on August 7, 2022, I finally came to a return that said and went, this day the rainstorm started and stopped from time to time, but my heart was fluttering, sitting on Zhongshi's car, along the way the mobile phone guided the voyage, this is a return and exploration, that is, there is a feeling of near homesickness, but not all, after all, where is the township at this moment I am still only a small point on the map, all the way to explore a few in and out, a few questions and answers, I finally understand that the origin of childhood is only the most complete in memory, after nearly 50 years of drying, I stood at Taiping Bay, which has been excavated and transported by more than 2,000 earth machines for 3 years, and my eyes are no longer firm, there is no memory of my childhood, and the Dalian Dermatology Hospital at a signpost allowed me to initially locate the place where my mother once worked. With a clear memory, I relied on the sense of direction and distance calculation, repeated several times, and finally located the place where the original hospital family and the main hospital clinic were located to the east, where there was a roofless weed, scattered and crippled stone brick houses, a large area of earth pits will change the original style, the original here is a number of neat two-roof three-tile rooms, the upper and lower tile rooms have a flat playground, the southeast side of the playground has a hospital canteen, the southmost part of the west side of the canteen is the hospital garage, and then to the south is a highway under the cliff. The hospital is located on a platform cut off by a large mountain, on the east side of the garage is the hospital's outpatient clinic, and on the north east side of the outpatient clinic is a large tile house and a spacious activity venue for the primary school of workers and peasants. North of the school is a big mountain, there are a lot of Berlin leaf trees on the mountain, when the summer rainy season comes, I climbed the mountain from time to time to catch buffalo, but did not dare to eat, according to adults, unfamiliar will make the buffalo grow wildly in the stomach, will die. In winter, I would go up the mountain with the children in the class to pick up materials to make a fire for warmth, and what impressed me most for many years was that I once carried my classmates to the front clinic to cover the wounds of my classmates... And speaking of the reason, it was actually me who was fighting with the classmates behind me, I picked up the stove hook to make a fire, learned the way Hu Hansan in the movie pressed the black stove hook on the belly of the classmate lying on the ground, and with a scream accompanied by his screaming, I was also stunned on the spot, after which I threw away the stove hook, picked up the classmates and ran to the hospital... "The big thunder caused trouble!" "The doctors at the hospital all knew me, they criticized me, and I was really scared when I looked at the white tendon wounds on my classmates' bellies. Later, my classmates did not blame me, my mother beat me, there was no deeper memory, by the way, before the last semester, the children's primary school was dissolved, and I went to the neighboring village primary school in the east for half a year and then moved to Wafangdian with my mother, which was forty-eight years apart...
When I write this, I cry, I know that the years have changed me many, many times, I am no longer innocent, but I understand the meaning of innocence! At that time, I would play sea oysters with my mother in the sea fork, in the winter, I would be frozen and laugh, and when the Haicheng and Yingkou earthquakes were over, I would use seaweed to lay on the ground on the small building outside the house, and I would let my mother sleep in the house in the deep night, and I would open a sports meeting on the salt flat that could not be seen, and chase the sand and run there, laughing all the way... I would also swim in the pit soaked with seawater, and plunge my head deep into the water, and my body would be quietly suspended. As mysterious as today------- my mind is suspended in the long river of memory.
I remember, the mountain behind the hospital treatment area has a good fragrance of mountain corn, there are a lot of rare herbs that can be medicated, I remember a big white dog from the other side of the mountain, was constantly chased and bitten by the dogs in the hospital, I remembered my operation is that I begged my mother to be my Uncle Lin to do it for me, just because my Uncle Lin shook his hand and connected my dislocated arm, when he was a child, he was all my understanding of the divine doctor!
I stood in the grass, I sat in the speeding car, all the kindness I touched was not as good as my memory, the hometown was only in dreams, in memory, in the eternal years... Will I still go back to find my way? I only know the power of nature... Any attempt in life to be long is not as great as nature, even the long grass of the long hairline still makes me pound, after all, the distant bays, the rolling hills under my feet and the houses in the forest that appear from time to time all record the years, the asphalt road has grown, the weeds have grown, the barking is growing, and the occasional dog barks and disturbs, and I know that I have lived here innocently, and on three sides is the peninsula of the sea and the mountain.
When I came back, the rain was heavy, God had eyes, he was giving me zero, let me understand that the most precious thing in life is not just memory! And from time to time worried about my family, and more specifically, at this moment, I am still worried about me, worried about whether I am safe and safe in the rain looking for my childhood dream?! I gave her a landmark, a back, a rushing return to the pouring rain, a promise that -------- would never leave her again, even if the wind and rain came again, is it not good to sit and watch the clouds rise?!
