Whenever the advertising slogan "Lishui, come and say yes" comes from the car radio, my heart lake will ripple in circles. Because, Lishui I have come, and no less than twenty times. All the concerns, expectations and affection are integrated into the blood. ——Lishui is my second hometown in this life.
His first encounter with Lishui was in the mid-1980s. My girlfriend's older brother, who was assigned to work in the Lishui water conservancy department after graduating from college, got married and started a family two years later. When the summer vacation came, my future father-in-law, who was the principal of the primary school in his hometown, planned to use the vacation to visit his son and daughter-in-law in Lishui and invite me to accompany him.
Early in the morning, we took a long-distance bus, and it was already afternoon when we arrived in Lishui. Stepping out of the station, we were in Lishui, which we had been thinking about for a long time. The fiery sun overhead, through the urban area, looking around, gives people the first impression of chaos. The roads are narrow, potholed and dusty, mixed with motorized, non-motorized and pedestrians in one lane; shops are crowded and messy, mostly occupying the road. There are no high-rise buildings in the whole county, and the tallest buildings are six or seven stories high. After walking for about half an hour, we came to my brother-in-law's home in Lishui'an. A set of 50 or 60 square meters of old and small apartments on the ground floor, settled in two families. In order to solve the problems of cooking, washing, etc., the brother-in-law asked someone to build an auxiliary room in the garden outside the house, and barely made it up. After dinner in the cramped cabin, my future father-in-law and I went to a nearby inn to stay. The future father-in-law lay in bed, sighing all the time, and almost sleepless all night. I knew that he was worried about his son who was far away from home and settled in Lishui. Indeed, the cityscape and living environment of Lishui in that year were far from home, which was inconsistent with the legendary source of Qinhuai and the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, Gyeonggi. Lishui is like a pearl that has rolled down a corner, covered in dust and dull.
Four years later, during the Spring Festival holiday, my wife and I went to Lishui to visit my brother-in-law and my young nephew. During this trip to Lishui, the impression of Lishui was obviously much better. The road is clean, the people and cars are divided, the shops are neat... There are many tower cranes inside and outside the county, high-rise buildings are rising, and the city is expanding, which is a busy scene in full swing. The happiest thing is that the brother-in-law's family has bid farewell to the burrow and moved into a new and spacious large apartment, and the living conditions have improved significantly.
In the summer of 1994, my father-in-law retired at an old age. In order to take care of their grandchildren, the parents-in-law made the decision to move to Lishui. As foreigners and new citizens of Lishui, they were still a little unaccustomed at first, often visiting home and returning home often. Gradually, the number of returns to the hometown became less and less, and the interval became longer and longer, and it became like an authentic Lishui person. That's because Lishui is getting better and better, becoming more and more beautiful. For those of us who often visit Lishui, we also have a personal experience.
Silent time holds infinite power. In the blink of an eye, more than thirty years have passed. Nowadays, Lishui has long been reborn, with her latecomer advantage, turning around in the past millennium, shining brightly, phoenix nirvana, presenting people with a poetic star city, a Jiangnan victory that "comes and goes". Not to mention how many times and how many times the total economic volume, residents' income, and urban scale have doubled, how many cities can compare with the living environment alone? Lishui is full of thriving feng shui and beautiful scenery.
Take the Rouge River, for example, this river was excavated by the Ming Dynasty Zhu Yuanzhang after setting the capital nanjing, burning stones, singing Liu Ruyi, Li Xiangjun, Dong Xiaowan and other "Qin Huai Bayan" poignant love stories, through the past life, ushered in a different life. Stroll along the Rouge River, the scenery is beautiful, the scenery is charming. The green mountains on both sides of the strait are like walls; the green and lush forests cover the Qilan. A stone bridge spanning both shores; a bay of clear streams, the sound of water babbling. Although there are no wine glasses going down the river, there are yachts that go up the river. In the distance, the narrow Rouge River, involving the city's cultural context, is like a bright, flowing jade belt, glowing with a purple-red halo, just like her name, making the city of Lishui carmine and Chuchu moving.
The sky is clear, the water is vast, and the people cling to it. Not only the Rouge River, but also Wuxiang Mountain, Donglu Mountain, Fujiabian, Shiushu Lake, Jiutang Village, etc., have become Lishui's beautiful business cards, all of which have left a deep impression. Li Bai, who has sung poems in Lishui, Han Xizai, who has read books, Yan Zhenqing, who has written words, and Zhou Bangyan, who has filled in words, if they have a spirit in heaven, they will be proud of today's Lishui and praise today's Lishui.
Over the years, in more than twenty close contacts with Lishui, I have found that Lishui is not only beautiful, but also more beautiful. Perhaps it is the influence of the legacy and the infiltration of the context, and the beauty of Lishui people is frank, and the beauty is in faith. Legend has it that more than 2,000 years ago, in the fourth year of King Jing of Zhou, King Chuping listened to rumors and beheaded more than 300 people from the family of the general Wu Hao, and Du WuZixu survived. On his way to the State of Wu, Wu Zixu lost his way at Shiushu Lake. He happened to meet a woman by the stream of Huan Sha Li, so he went forward to ask for directions. After huansha learned that Wu Zixu was loyal, she filled him with rice soup from the syrup and told him the path to the kingdom of Wu. Later, in order to dispel Wu Zixu's doubts, she jumped into the stream and gave up her life to ask for a letter. To this end, the poet Li Bai personally wrote the "Monument to the Faithful and Righteous Women". "Loyal and righteous women" has thus become a good story circulating in Lishui. Legends are legends after all, and you may not believe them. However, in real life, anyone who has dealt with the Lishui people can feel their faith deep into the marrow.
Every time I go to Lishui, I never forget to see the plum blossoms. Wandering around the 10,000 acres of merlin on the edge of the Fu family, there are many kinds of plum trees, and plum blossoms are different colors. Flowers and clusters, fragrant and colorful, flowers are blooming and the branches are low, which is quite similar to the scene of snow pressing the winter forest. The brightly colored plum blossoms make people feel close to nature and close to beauty. The Song Dynasty poet Xie Fangde once wrote a poem "Heaven and earth are lonely and the mountains are raining, and several lives have cultivated plum blossoms", which means that people must go through several lives to cultivate into plum blossoms. Yes, the spiritual quality of plum blossoms is high and clean and not afraid of the cold, which is not something that ordinary people can have casually. However, in my eyes, the plum blossoms in the mountains and fields at the edge of Lishui Fu's home are exactly the portrayal of the spirit of Lishui people who are not afraid of difficulties, face challenges, dare to innovate, and strive for self-improvement. You don't see, one avenue after another leads to the distance, one high-rise building after another rises, one after another warms people's hearts, a batch of projects are put into production, and groups of "phoenixes" fly to nest... Isn't it the result of the vigorous promotion of the Lishui spirit? At present, Lishui people, who are full of infinite spiritual strength and xinyi charm, are playing the strongest sound of high-quality development in the new era and singing a more beautiful and brilliant tomorrow in Lishui!
"The lake is connected with the yuanqi, and the wind and waves are unstoppable. The sky is out of the sky, and the clouds are sailing. Turtles swim on lotus leaves, birds stay in reeds. The girl is lightly boated, and the song flows one by one. "Although I can't write such a poem as Li Bai, but walking in Lishui all year round, my relatives yusi, caring for Yusi, and the love affair with Lishui has long been transformed into a song flowing in my heart: Qin Huaiyuan, next to the ancient capital; Rouge River, Wuxiang Mountain; Tiansheng Bridge, Fu Jiabian; the wind is poetic, picturesque; the meaning is long, the love is long, and Lishui is a good place...
