The 32nd Shanghai Tourism Festival
To me, Shanghai is like a book, and I love reading it so much. This book is all-encompassing and always read. When I first read it, there are many kinds of styles, in the shade of the sycamores, the Haipai building stands silently, hiding the texture tempered by the years; reading it again, I find that it is so profound and delicate, beautiful everywhere; reading it repeatedly, the more I understand and fall infatuated.
——He Qing (born in 1986 in Wuhu, Anhui), well-known host. In 2011, he joined Oriental Satellite TV and is now the news anchor of Oriental Satellite TV's "Look at the Orient" and the host of "Weekend Broadcast" on the comprehensive channel of Shanghai Television News. She has been involved in public welfare volunteer service for a long time, witnessing and documenting the development and changes of Shanghai. ）
"Good morning, I'm He Qing!" In the early morning in Shanghai, when you turn on the TV set, accompanied by this kind and familiar greeting, the host He Qing and the citizens began a fulfilling and busy day.
"If you want to experience a deeper Shanghai style, it is best not to take a sloppy mentality, but to really approach it." In his spare time, He Qing would read the city by riding or walking. From 2011 to 2021, a full decade, she has traveled to every corner of the city.
"The buildings are readable, the neighborhoods are good for strolling, and the city always has a temperature." Reading architecture is not only reading the building itself, but reading the city, reading culture, reading accumulates the spiritual character and style of the city. Wukang Road, Anfu Road and other neighborhoods with strong human touch and humanistic history have always been favored by He Qing.
"Read, read, read Shanghai." He Qing, who loves to read, especially likes Su Shi's "Lingao Idle Question", which has a sentence "Jiangshan Wind and Moon, the impermanent lord, the idler is the master". When she walks on the road with open sycamores and shades of the sun, the tight rhythm of the city and the engine sound of the car will be diluted by the quiet and elegance, and she will feel extra relaxed.
By chance, He Qing revisited the six-episode TV special "Qian Xuesen", and immediately thought that he could go to the place where this great scientist had studied and lived, so he couldn't wait to get on his bicycle and go to the Xuhui campus of Shanghai Jiao Tong University. He Qing feels that this is what fascinates Shanghai: in daily life, you can choose a variety of convenient ways to touch the stories and histories you want to know. Even just sitting down and having a cup of coffee is a way to read Shanghai.
Through the cafes all over the city, you can glimpse the unique atmosphere of Shanghainese, becoming one intriguing urban space after another. The lingering of local citizens, the encounters of tourists from all over the world, the warmth of the streets and alleys, the budding of cultural creativity... All in the "slow" of the café, reconciling the "fast" of the city. She specifically mentioned the café on the first floor of the Wukang Building, which is well-run and colorful, and the "net red" temperament complements the charm of the historical building. The "life home" with heart is easier to live through than the "dreamer", not only has strength, but also has more tenacity.
For a long time, He Qing has been attracted by the multi-faceted characteristics of Shanghai, and has been impressed by the refinement and pursuit that permeate the daily life. All kinds of pioneering ideas will be fully nourished and bloomed in Shanghai; consistent efforts and persistence will be responded to and rewarded in Shanghai. She continues to read Shanghai, deepen her understanding of the city's cultural spirit, and hope that through her own emotional promotion, more people who also love the city will better understand the charm of Shanghai.
Characteristic culture has long become the unique texture of the city in the flow and shuttle. He Qing knows that the host is not only a craftsman of language, but also a messenger of cultural dissemination. The uniqueness of Shanghai's urban culture requires more and more people to understand and love it, and actively pass it on to more people.
