Haitang Creek Haixin Street in late spring
The sun is slightly warm
The breeze passes through the yellow kudzu tree patches and buds
Blowing on the faces of the residents who come and go
Walk on the road of Haixin Street
In those days, the yellow kudzu trees, which were still full of emerald green, gradually turned dark green
The hard-growing yellow kudzu leaves "set up an umbrella" above the street
The entire street is formed into a "tunnel" of green forest
It's a road that's been around for a few years. Walking along Haixin Street to Nanping, the sense of age of the last century has not retreated in this road, and the fashion sense in recent years has been generated, the years are intertwined with the old and the new on both sides of the "main artery" on the south bank, and the old street that has been re-given a new life flows with traces of time, which is tolerated and accepted by residents and tourists day after day, and then loved.
Citywalk in Haixin Street
May days are perfect for getting out and about. Lu Meng, who came to Chongqing from other places to travel, posted a street in the WeChat circle of friends that was not so "Internet celebrity", "This is a short-distance Chongqing citywalk route that I accidentally discovered. Here, I felt the living conditions of the old Chongqing people, and also experienced the life taste of the young people in Chongqing. ”
At the beginning of the line that Lu Meng said, you can see it when you walk out of Exit 4A of Hao Station on the light rail ring line. Everywhere you see is the "image endorsement" of the Haixin Street community, the pink begonia flower Shasha. Next to the mottled white old houses are white salsa convenience stores, pink salsa syrup shops, and fragrant salsa community canteens, which are just the right "mix-and-match". "The pink cartoon begonia flowers look so cute," Lu Meng sighed, "I am used to living in a cold community, it is hard to imagine that an old community is built like a small cultural and creative base, you can see cute cartoons when you go out, and life becomes interesting." ”
Not far from the Sasha canteen, there is an air-raid shelter with unique Chongqing characteristics. Lu Meng stroked the kitten on the side of the road, watched the old man playing chess on the side of the road for a while, and walked straight to the air-raid shelter with a cave, "The light inside is very dazzling, there is a feeling of passing through, through the air-raid shelter, you can reach the famous Nanbin Road." ”
But this citywalk doesn't end there. Next to the main entrance of Haitang Creek, the tube building is also a famous check-in place. Lu Meng said that walking around the old street, walking around the bustling Nanbin Road, and feeling the time of turning over and over on Haixin Street will make people really relax.
A new life in Haixin Street
Immersed in a relaxed life, there is no one more than the old residents who live in Haixin Street.
Get up early and eat xiaolongbao downstairs; At noon, you can eat a healthy meal for 12 yuan in the sa sa canteen; Play chess in the afternoon or watch a movie in the community...... Li Jingyuan, who lives in Haixin Street, has lived in Haixin Street since the 90s of the last century. After living in Haixin Street for decades, he feels more and more that he has truly understood the comfort of life over the years.
Lao Li, 77 years old this year, told reporters that he has never eaten at home since the opening of the sa sa canteen in the community, "the canteen is clean, hygienic and cheap, and the dishes are rich and nutritious," Lao Li said, and now he often makes appointments with his neighbors in the sa sa canteen, not only in the canteen, but also after eating, everyone gathers in the Red Star screening hall next to the canteen to watch old movies, "A very rich day of life." ”
Although the Haixin Street community is old, it is not broken at all, and the community is clean, tidy and vibrant. "I don't want to go to Yibin to live with my son and daughter-in-law." Lao Li said that every once in a while, he can see that the Haixin Street community has many vibrant elements, and his life is more colorful, "There are many beautiful signboards here today, there are many activity venues there tomorrow, or in the evening, I can make an appointment with friends to blow the river breeze on Nanbin Road, and there are many things to do when I live in Haixin Street." ”
Nowadays, Lao Li has to look around the community every day, look at the traces of time left everywhere in the community, feel the changes in the community, the simple lifestyle, and the love for life has not diminished at all.
Haixin Street is a "new life"
Whether it is Begonia Flower Shasha or "Don't Have a Cave", there are really a lot of "new lives" on Haixin Street in the past two years.
"We are an old community, and we always have to come out with something new so that the residents don't feel like they're living in a pool of stagnant water." Wang Jiawen, Secretary of the Party Committee of Haixin Street Community, is a person with ideas, she said that every time she walks in the community, she looks at the old residents with traces of time engraved on their faces, but their eyes are flashing with a yearning for life, they are hospitable, and always share some of their stories and experiences with themselves.
As a result, the Haixin Street community introduced the original IP Internet celebrity store to tailor the IP Begonia Flower Shasha for the community, cleaned out the dusty old houses, and introduced social capital to build a community canteen to solve the problem of eating for the elderly. "Our old community has been injected with fresh blood little by little, so that residents can feel more fresh breath even if they walk on the old street." Wang Jiawen said.
Wang Jiawen knows that walking in the old neighborhood is not only an exploration of history, but also an experience of culture. In the future, the Haixin Street community will continue to focus on creating a strong historical atmosphere and humanistic charm of the community, so that residents and tourists walking in Haixin Street can slow down, feel the bricks and tiles, grass and trees here, and experience the unique tranquility and calmness of the old neighborhood.
