A suburban temple has been interpreted as: suburbs, away from the noisy city center, sleep, farewell to the splendid city that never sleeps, temple, a place of practice, not involved in the world's miscellaneous affairs. Universal Youth Hostel (hereinafter referred to as "Wanqing") named its label with the image of "Suburban Sleep Temple", which has a peerless and independent feeling. The label's doorknob is in the shape of a guitar neck, expressing their love for music.
The second label is located inside the Hebei Film Studio, and the staff introduced to us: "Don't look at this small door, there is a recording studio of more than 300 square meters inside, which is the base camp of their music creation. "Pushing open the door of the label, we began to look for Wanqing's footprints in Shijiazhuang.
Walking on the streets of Shijiazhuang, taking a light step, I feel that I am walking on the skin of Shijiazhuang, because this is the city that belongs to Wanqing. On Fangbei Road, we saw a cultural wall, painted with portraits of Olympic champions such as Sun Yingsha and Gong Lijiao, and behind the wall was the Provincial Sports Brigade. The collision of sports and music has made the city of Shijiazhuang more "young".
All the way to the east, at the end of the road is a garden. It's a short road, but it's full of traces of the times, and there were a few video stores on the side of the road that sold rock albums. Wan Qing's songs are played on a loop in the headphones, although we are not in that era, but people who love them will still resonate with Wan Qing in the songs.
Walking and stopping on the road, a beautiful met us unexpectedly. The man who walked the bend told us: "This is the northern redstart, a summer migratory bird that flies back to the north in spring. Wan Qing sang in "" "Preying for drinking water, white clouds between the eyebrows in the morning", and the natural appearance they hoped for was already presented in front of our eyes.
Lu, "The table tennis boy of the High School Affiliated to Hebei Normal University turned his back to me", continued to set off north, and we came to the High School Affiliated to Hebei Normal University. On this bustling Zhongshan East Road, with endless traffic and pedestrians, we continue to move forward along the footsteps of Wanqing.
Seven Gongdan-subway-bus, tossing and turning, searching. The headphones play Wan Qing's song, walking on the streets of Shijiazhuang, we feel their life breath in Shijiazhuang people, as well as the romance that belongs to Shijiazhuang, Wan Qing's song can always tell us where the next stop is.
"I got off work at 6 p.m., changed out of my clothes in the pharmacy, my wife was boiling porridge, and I went to drink some beer. "Towards the end of the evening, we arrived at the North China Pharmaceutical Factory and saw the employees in the factory leaving work one after another. Obviously, this is part of their ordinary life, tomorrow is a new day, and the sun rises as usual. In the penultimate stop, we returned to the heavyweight scene of Wanqing Music.
We came to the last stop of the trip: Mai Wangguan, an offline gathering place for Wanqing fans, where they listened to Wanqing's songs and talked about the resonance with Wanqing's music. A fan from Beijing said: "Finding Wanqing's footprints in the city is a romantic and rock thing, and this happens to be an angle to open up the city." ”
