On Christmas Eve in 2010, I braved the cold winter wind to go to Xiaonan Church in Shenyang City to see the scenery and join in the fun.
It was a bitterly cold Christmas Eve, and hundreds of people lined up to go to church to pray for blessings. It wasn't even 10 p.m., and the church was already full of people, and the people in the queue outside couldn't add it if they wanted to.
I turned around a lot, found a gap at the exit where the people came out at the back of the church, and squeezed in, and also took out the red envelope money that I could to make a wish and stuffed it into it to make a wish, and on the way home, I learned that the church Christmas Eve wish also has a complete procedure, but I can't care so much, I just have a sustenance.
That year has passed, and after thirteen years, I have never been to Xiaonan Church again, and I have not gone to the event on Christmas Eve.
When I was very young, I had a little friend's grandmother's family living near Xiaonan Church, and my family lived in Shenyang Daximen. His grandmother's place later developed into the largest wholesale market in Northeast China, "Shenyang Wuai Street Market", where I lived, and now it is the most lively night market in Shenyang, "Shenyang Color TV Tower Night Market".
In the 80s of the last century, every summer afternoon, I went to the door of "Shenyang Xiaonan Church" with my friends to see the excitement, at that time, the door of Xiaonan Church was locked most of the time, and the two of us could only lie outside the door and look inside, sometimes I saw a nun hurrying by, I wanted to say hello to her, but people would hurry into the church and disappear.
When I was in junior high school, I never went to Xiaonan Church again, and this separation was also thirteen years, in fact, the life that can be sensible and live is only five or six thirteen years.
In the past five years, every Christmas Eve, Christmas, and around the Spring Festival, the lively city of Shenyang has calmed down a lot, and people are quietly dripping at home for the festival and the New Year.
I went back to Wuai Street near Xiaonan Church, Wuai Street was too suppressed by online shopping, and the hot shoppers of the past ten years basically disappeared.
I went to the color TV tower night market to walk around, there are a lot of people, more than half of the money is spent less, there are more people who spend more money to see the excitement, and almost all of the people who are willing to spend are young people.
Christmas Eve and Christmas are coming this year, will Xiaonan Church still be overcrowded? I don't know myself, but I do clear it, it is more appropriate for me to stay at home by myself, although life is only so decades, but how to live a happy life I have woken up!
