——" Reminiscing about the snacks of the old Dongguan" caused by the heated discussion (Part 2)
Today, I finally found the author of this article---- Mr. Wang Yongsheng (69 years old), here on behalf of the [Xi'an Past] to express my heartfelt thanks to Teacher Wang, without the accumulation of rich life can not write such a good article! Mr. Wang Yongsheng grew up in Jinglongchi, Dongguan, and has a deep local feeling for the old Dongguan. He graduated from the sixth and eighth grades of Xi'an No. 3 Middle School and was a third-year zhiqing. This article was originally only published in his high school group and family relatives and friends group, and the yin and yang mistakes let [Xi'an Old Things] be published publicly, which is a deep fate and a complex of old Xi'an people.
In the follow-up post, an interesting phenomenon appeared: Xu Jianming, a famous writer and senior newspaperman in Xi'an, left his own questions after reading through the post, and deliberately explained "no malice" to prevent misunderstanding. Fortunately, Teacher Wang Yongsheng's classmate Lao Ding, as well as after contacting Teacher Wang, I made a reply, eliminating Teacher Xu's questions and making the reply more interesting.
What is even more extraordinarily remarkable is that Teacher Wang and Lao Ding have not seen each other for decades, and an article about eating has allowed them to get together again. Later, more than a dozen of their classmates held a party in Jishijiao, so they recalled memories of Dongguan South Street.
@Xu Jianming: The article is indeed very vivid and interesting. But there is a doubt about the old decay: in the mid-1950s, after the socialist transformation, private shops were either banned or public-private partnerships, and small owners and capitalists were swept away. In 1958, China entered communism. The author of the text is five or six years younger than me, he should be from the early fifties, and the scenes written in the text, the characters are really experienced by him? No malicious intent, just a little doubtful.
@Li Lianyuan: Hello Teacher Xu! The author's name is Wang Yongsheng, the third oldest, who grew up in Jinglongchi since childhood, and the text is indeed from his hand. I only contacted Teacher Wang after I was recommended by a friend. Because the chronology of many things is relatively vague, it is not explained in detail. Personally, I think it should start in the 70s.
@ Lao Ding: Teacher Xu, I am 71 years old this year, what is described in the Yongsheng article is what he has experienced, I live in the chicken market abduction, the public-private partnership a lot of snacks into the cooperative canteen, there are four seasons in Dongguan South Street, Liu Hulan in the main street, Yan'an restaurant Dongguan beef and mutton steamed buns, Eight Immortals An's eight canteens Chicken market turned to a small façade of eight canteens. Wang Xiangrong, who sold jujube paste, sold thick wine and waited for Lao Xu to enter the eight canteens. Li Kejiu, who sells meat sandwich steamed buns, works in the canteen of Xijing Hospital.
@ Lao Ding: Wang Yongsheng and I joined the team in Yang Village, Xingping Nanshi City, and Yongsheng lived in The Eight Houses of Jinglongchi. Seeing this article, as an old Dongguan, evoked the memories of the past hidden deep in my heart. I live in the east neighborhood of JishiKou Dongguan Elementary School, and I attended Dongguan Elementary School Junior High School in No. 22 Middle School in No. 3 Middle School. He did a good deed and praised him. Before the Cultural Revolution, the man named Li Kejiu was run by his daughter after the reform and opening up, and opened a shop on Mutual Aid Road.
@ Eternal Life: Hello Old Ding, through this article finally contacted the old classmates, the heart is very happy, do not know how to establish contact with you?
@ Kang Chenghua: Dongguan picked up the burden to buy oil tea called Xi, when he was a child, he often drank his oil tea, decades have passed, and he has not eaten the taste of that year, which may have been lost earlier.
@Zhilan Xiaoya: Thanks to Mr. Wang Yongsheng for the gift, this memory is too precious! Almost all of them are Xi'an snacks that can't be found anymore! The snacks of the real Xi'an people are different from the snacks of the Hui people in the common impression now. It's so precious! Real history
@Morning Bell: I grew up in Dongguan Longqu Fort, and when I read this article, it was kind, warm and touching, and it seemed to be back to the unforgettable homeland of my childhood. Quiet night, the moon is faint, faintly heard a burst of "jujube meat paste, oil wafting" tempting shouting sound, followed by the smell of food, quiet alleys full of incense, how unforgettable nostalgia, how unforgettable affection!
@ Morning Bell: In the past 60 years, every time I went to the Eight Immortals Temple with my grandmother, the jujube paste and thick wine were all delicious, sweet, thick, rich, and the thick wine bowl was exquisite orchid porcelain. I saw my grandmother paying, and I didn't remember her sitting down and taking a sip. That taste has been lingering for half a century, but it is stuck in the sixties, stuck in the lively crowd of my grandmother holding my hand in the temple fair of the Eight Immortals Temple, and I can't forget the date paste and thick wine that I can't find.
@YP: My ancestors lived in Longqu Fort, my parents were the sixth and sixth zhiqing of the third middle school, and I myself lived in Dongguan, although the time was not long, but the three facades in my memory, the red light cinema, and those countless delicacies, accompanied me to the north and south, are still fresh in my memory. Reading this article evoked a strong sense of homesickness in me.
@ Fate: Thank you for the author to 3 my son's memories I have entered the old age to see the post mood is particularly excited as if back to the childhood dongguan I am the authentic Dongguan people have a flesh-to-bone relationship with Dongguan I will never forget you _ my Dongguan! Thank you author!
@ Yunzhongma: Brother Wang wrote too well, deeply touched, I live opposite the old man who sells pork, he seems to be surnamed Li, there is a daughter named Li Aiqin, I can smell the aroma of meat every day when I was a child. Remember the hour in the kindergarten in Dongxin Lane, every morning to drink jujube paste, the burden was picked to the courtyard, the children lined up with enamel jars, five cents a piece, a dime can not finish... These childhood scenes are still fresh in my mind. By the way, the later bagged jujube paste advertisement was filmed by myself, and the owner of the food factory was named Xu Yang, who also lived in Solo Lane.
@ Yan Mengyun: Old Dongguan is all my childhood memories of my grandparents' grocery store, next door to the Chinese national pharmaceutical factory, the post office opposite the door, the chicken market abduction of dan dan red oil tea, the hour bun in the East Gate, the red light cinema outside the East Gate, the game hall at the South Street Entrance where I must go to find my brother, the Dongguan Primary School where I went for a year, the tamales next to the Dongguan Primary School... Full of childhood memories, the streets at that time, the shops on both sides of the street, all in the depths of memory, scene after scene, gushing up...

@ Old Dragon King: I am 77 years old this year, before the Cultural Revolution in 1964 in the house repair team led a few workers to repair the lid of a canteen opposite the Eight Immortals, every morning riding in the middle of Dongguan Street North to eat a bowl of water and a pot of steamed buns, the old man in charge of the spoon is amiable, that bowl of water basin steamed buns has brought me good memories of Xi'an so far, because I have never eaten so delicious since!
@ Flute Teacher: Read the above many posts, have a lot of feelings, my family's ancestors have lived in Dongguan for generations, it can be said that the old Dongguan, the basic of the above is true, buy mash surname Liu, called Liu Zhenhuai, tall, it can be said that his height is the second highest in Dongguan, the first high is a donkey cart in Xingqing Village, (Henan) The third highest is my father, as for the Weinan Shichen bun diagonally opposite the alley, that is all later, (six years), but the business is very good.

The author's feeling: This is a classic essay that goes straight to people's hearts and taste buds, the whole text has no flowery rhetoric, exaggerated metaphors, it is all skin feelings, and the kind of truth that spreads through the text is incomparably fragrant, and it is a long-lost delicacy! Although the snacks scattered in the neighborhoods of Xi'an are far away, there are always good people who take notes on them, so that they have their taste after being invisible, so that the old things in Xi'an are full of colors and fragrances.
