Zhongshan Road, the famous central commercial street of Qingdao, runs from north to south, winding and undulating, like a historical stream, in the hearts of old Qingdao people It has been flowing for hundreds of years.
Looking at today’s prosperous and clean commercial street, looking back at Zhongshan Road over the past century, it’s amazing to see the tremendous changes. At the beginning of the century, there were only one or two small villages along Zhongshan Road. Qingdao was opened as Feiduoli Street, which started from Qianhai Zhanqiao in the south and ended in Dayaogou in the north. In the 20s and 30s, things changed a lot, and the name was changed three times to Jingdao. Dingding, Shandong Town, Shandong Road. After China took back Qingdao, it officially named Zhongshan Road in 1929 in memory of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, and at the same time named the first (Huiquan) Park Zhongshan Park. The name of Zhongshan Road is still used today.
The footprints of Zhongshan Road in the past fifty years are covered with the historical dust of the old era. After Germany occupied Qingdao, it once divided Zhongshan Road into two areas for Europeans and Chinese, with the Baoding intersection as the boundary (the boundary stone from that year is now in the Qingdao Mountain Fort Exhibition Hall). The southern area is the European residential area, and the northern area is the Chinese residential area. The road surface in the southern section is six meters wider than the northern section. Due to the separation of residential areas, the commercial layout of Zhongshan Road has formed a pattern in which foreign companies and Chinese shops are located in the north and south. On the eve of the liberation of Qingdao, the shops on Zhongshan Road still had these old marks.
In the 1930s and 1940s, with the expansion of Qingdao's urban scale, Qingdao's central business district with Zhongshan Road as its axis has been formed. Banks, shops, restaurants and theaters are lined up on Zhongshan Road, including those near Zhongshan Road. Shops, restaurants and hotels abound on Henan Road, Tianjin Road, Beijing Road, Haibo Road and Weixian Road. This central business district is what generations of Qingdao people have affectionately called "the street." "Shopping in the street" was a fashionable pastime for Qingdao people back then. In the fifty years of old China, Qingdao people "shopping" not only entertained themselves with consumption, but also used their consumption to create and support a group of old Qingdao restaurants that still stand on Zhongshan Road with simple patriotism. Time-honored Chinese businessmen, such as: Fu Lu Shou, Chun He Lou, Hong Ren Tang, Sheng Xi Fu and the Qingdao Domestic Products Company with distinctive brands. At that time, the word "domestic product" was so irritating in the hearts of Chinese people.
On June 2, 1949, Qingdao returned to the embrace of the people. The Zhongshan Road that had gone through fifty years of ups and downs had washed away the dirt of history, became bright and bright, and all industries were flourishing. In the more than ten years since the reform and opening up, modern commercial buildings have sprung up on Zhongshan Road, and the charm of time-honored brands still exists. People in Qingdao who are "shopping" are no longer satisfied with pulling a few feet of foreign cloth at "Qianxiangyi" and going to "Pichaiyuan" Instead of eating a bowl of noodles, go to a fashion store or KFC. Foreign meat is no longer just for foreigners.
At night, facing the gentle sea breeze, looking at Zhongshan Road today, the neon lights of the "lighting project" have turned Zhongshan Road into a bright and colorful stream.
The Story of Qingdao Old Street
98 Weihai Road
Taitung Town, from Taitung All the way to Taitung 8th Road, forms a rectangular "mouth" "", Weihai Road from Dengzhou Road to Haibo Bridge passes through Taitung Town in the middle, thus forming a "中" character.
In the early days of Qingdao, most of the factories in Qingdao had Japanese capital, mainly around Liaoning Road and the Sifang area. Most of the workers lived in Taitung Town. Weihai Road was the link between Taitung Town and the two industrial zones. Main road. In Liu Shaowen's "Hundred Odes of Qingdao", he twice sang poems about the life of workers in this area.
Cui Bian asked the factories one by one, from Dongzhen to Sicang. Thirty thousand brothers burst into tears, working hard for whom every year.
"From Taitung Town to all directions, there are all areas where factories gather, and the rate is Japanese. There are 20,000 to 30,000 workers, working hard all year round, with little income, but they hate spending money every year to buy wedding clothes for others. Ye."
My feet are tall and slender, and I feel uncomfortable wandering down the long street. This is a high-rise building facing the main road, where the dream of a mandarin duck begins to linger.
"...Women rely on factories, some of which are more than ten miles away. They impromptu in the middle of the night and stagger there. When they arrive, they stand in front of the door or sit or lie under a tree. It is not yet bright! Change! It’s hard!”
Qingdao is dominated by textile factories, and 80% of the workers in textile factories are female workers. In the past, female workers with children were not accepted, so Qingdao people called female workers “factory ladies”. They work 12 hours a day and travel back and forth, which makes them very tiring, so their parents do the housework. Many "factory ladies" walk along Weihai Road. In winter, their heads are wrapped in long cloths and they hold lunch boxes. They are in groups, chatting and laughing, and enjoying themselves in hardship. This is a street scene on Weihai Road.
From Changchun Road to Haibo Bridge, there are more than a dozen wood factories on both sides of Weihai Road. Since it is a wood factory, the yard fences are made of waste wood. There are many piles of waste wood in the yard and on the sidewalk. Logs and Timbers. In the past, wood was manually cut and the road was pulled up and down. This work was very hard, but it was dominated by male workers.
The southern section of Weihai Road is equivalent to Zhongshan Road in Taitung District, and major departments once had branches on Weihai Road. For example, the Bank of China has its Taitung office on Zhongshan Road and its Taitung office is on Weihai Road; the Wuhua Golden Store's main store is on Zhongshan Road and its branch is on Weihai Road... After liberation, the Xinhua Bookstore's main store was on Zhongshan Road and its branch was on Weihai Road. The original Taitung Police Station is also on Weihai Road.
There used to be a civilian market in the middle section of Weihai Road, also called the Mainland Market. There were several small streets and alleys, and there were artists performing Shandong Qinshu and Maoqiang. There is an emerging market not far from the civilian market. There are more than 70 shops that have been operating for many years, including secondhand goods, dealers, and handicraft products.
Although "Xinhuali" on Weihai Road is also called "Li", it is different from the ordinary "Li". It is actually equivalent to the civilian courtyard in Xizhen. It is a large courtyard with mainly bungalows. It is completely different from the pattern of "li".
There are small shops in Xinhua Lane, as well as a story-telling studio. Wang Baoheng, the city's outstanding storytelling actor, and others are here to talk about "manzihuo" - long books, such as "Three Heroes of Swords", " "Da Ba Yi" and so on, leaving a big "button" at the end of each night - suspense, attracting the audience to listen again the next day.
In the late period of the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese and puppet troops were defeated one after another. The vast area in Shandong became an anti-Japanese base area or an anti-Japanese guerrilla zone. The war broke out near Qingdao. The Qingdao authorities were very panicked. From Zhenjiang Road to No. 5 along Changchun Road The fort built a line of defense and blocked most of the intersections. A "clamp gate" was set up at the Weihai Road and Changchun intersections. There were puppet troops standing guard. When they saw the so-called "suspects", they came forward to search them. Some puppet troops took the opportunity to extort money. At night, the gate is closed to prevent people from passing through.
After liberation, Weihai Road was widened and a pedestrian bridge was built. All the old houses on both sides of the road were demolished and new buildings were built. Later, a contemporary building was built at the intersection of Weihai Road and Taitung 1st Road. square.
