Chapter 6 disappear

disappear Around the age of 12, the city gradually began to expand and renovate. Many old buildings and alleys were planned to be demolished, and residents moved to new residential areas on the edge of the city. Both sides of the road in the city center were reserved for commercial use.Both the big yard and the road are planned, the old house will be demolished, and the road will be widened.All the old sycamore trees on both sides of the sidewalk were cut down, and the thick trees were sawed down and dragged away one by one.The road can be doubled in size. Now there is a wide and flat concrete road with cars coming and going, with small tree species planted along the roadside.Summer sun exposure.There are high-rise buildings on both sides. Except for the speeding traffic, few people walk on the sidewalk.It is no longer a narrow asphalt road with dense tree shadows, old and thick sycamores, sparrows, insects, courtyards, flowers and plants, dragonflies on clothes racks, hot soybean milk shops, dense and lively crowds, all washed away. clean.It was an old photo with no negatives left, and I only had time to look at it before losing all clues about it.It can only be recalled with memory.

A small town that gained history in the Tang Dynasty is like an old man who has experienced many things in the world, with a dignified and solemn temperament, full of twists and turns.After getting older and going abroad, I seem to gradually understand it.When I can understand it, it is no longer what it used to be.Its faint moss, gurgling water, its white bricks and black tiles, the fragrance of camphor wood, its narrow feldspar alleys, dark courtyards, its indifference to all things, and human affection.Even in an ancient city, the human will can still manipulate its form.Pulled down quickly, destroyed rashly, rebuilt clumsily, retro badly.

The history of people's life breathes and lives on the soft paper, leaving buildings, civilizations, lifestyles, and inner beliefs, which are gradually erased and discarded from the yellowed and dull paper.Like a swarm of ants carefully building a nest, larger animals come and sweep everything away.Everything that is built and created by man, all these things, cannot survive and live for a long time after all. New cities appear.The old cities disappear.Some remember it as it used to be, some remember a little, and some will have no idea at all.They were cut off from the history of the city, from its grace and conviction.They seem to be orphans, without nourishment, living in a brand new city where history begins again.It looked rich, clean, decent, just disconnected from the past.Including the relationship between it and the traditional spiritual support, it is completely broken, so rude that there is no nostalgia.Tear down everything, transform everything, as if everything can start again.Act decisively.

Everything is new.Nothing to do with the past.They are established in a desert.Facing the new world, new people only have vigorous ambitions, not romantic mood.
