Chapter 214 beautiful beijing streets

Outside the window is golden autumn.The sky is blue and blue.The autumn sun shining through the window warmly covers the desk and the writing hands.The red and white roses in the desk bottle have been freshly watered, sending out bursts of fragrance!But what is ugly is a large construction site in front of the building outside my window: coal chips are piled on the ground, covered with cinders, and many rusty steel bars are placed horizontally on the cinders.The overgrown grass sticks its head out tenaciously from the rows of steel bars, swaying proudly long leaves that are beginning to turn yellow in the breeze.Before the completion of those two high-rise buildings, the land in front of my window will not be green.I am not as good as these tenacious grasses, self-reliant in this boring world!

After I got sick, I didn't go out for four years. This was a great pain for me who was always active.The only chance for me to go out is to go to the hospital for "examination" once a month. At this time, I observe everything outside the car window with great excitement. October 5th was the day when I went to the hospital for "examination" as usual. As soon as my car drove out of the school gate, I saw two flower beds piled up on both sides of the gate. Hundreds of pots of blooming flowers, yellow, white, and red, were neatly arranged in a circle, and the periphery was a circle. "A bunch of red".This piece of bright and colorful flowers suddenly rushed into my eyes, which surprised and delighted me.

The car passed Zizhuyuan Park, and the potted flowers lined up at the entrance of the park were more, more beautiful and larger than usual.The neat and tall Zhutian poplars on both sides of the road seem to be more green and moist under the background of the flowers.The car drove straight down the road of Yingbin Hotel. On the grass between the green trees and pine walls, there were bright red roses and cannas dotted. Needless to say, the flower beds on both sides of the gate of Yingbin Hotel were unique and glorious! At the turning point at the west end of Chang'an Avenue, there stands a large flower basket trimmed from pine branches, filled with large and beautiful flowers.

Walking eastward along Chang'an Avenue, my joy gradually rose. Not only were the entrances of various buildings, parks, offices, and hotels competing for beauty, there were two novel flower beds lined up, but also the streets on both sides of the road Under each tree, there are clusters of flowers around.The city of Beijing has become a world of flowers!I have lived in Beijing for 60 years besides the days in the mainland and overseas before liberation. This is the first time I have seen such bright and bright streets of Beijing! Recalling seventy years ago, when I first arrived in Beijing, what I saw were "dusty streets, gray city walls, and sweaty rickshaw drivers running around." In the United States, I sighed with depression, "My hometown, My Beijing is nothing!" Today, all this has disappeared like a nightmare.

What does the beautiful streets of Beijing show?It means that the country and its people have become richer.When the people's material life is satisfied, the requirements for beauty and art are overflowing.The people feel better, and they will not be satisfied with the flowers on their desks or the flowers and trees in their courtyards. They also care about the construction of the urban ecological environment.They show the yearning and pursuit of human beings for beautiful things and a beautiful society. Their wishes are pure, sincere and kind.They want to take the opportunity of celebrating the 35th anniversary of the National Day to decorate their city.How beautifully they dress up the streets of Beijing!

The "beauty" tour on the streets of Beijing made me deeply understand what I will never forget. An esthetician said: "Beauty is inseparable from truth and goodness." October 23, 1984
