My name is Qinhuai Jun, but I'm not from Nanjing. Many readers have asked me, why are you called Qinhuai Jun? Perhaps Nanjing is my dream city. This is an old article four years ago, and it is still fascinating today. -Qinhuai army

This is my fourth visit to Nanjing. This city, which is only 144 kilometers away from Hefei, has been affecting my heart for more than ten years.

I come from Hefei. Hefei and Nanjing are so close. Looking at the map of China, there are few provincial capitals with a distance of less than 200 kilometers, except Hefei and Nanjing.

Hefei and Nanjing are so far away. Look at the traffic map of China. Until the first decade of 2 1 century, there were no trains between the two provincial capitals. Two cities with a distance of 144 km actually need to bypass Bengbu or Wuhu by train, and one hour's journey is replaced by four hours, which is a wonder!

In the past 20 1 1 years, Nanjing has already become an important hub of land, sea and air transportation, and Hefei has gradually become the transportation center of the Jianghuai land, and the distance between the two cities has become so close. Taking the opportunity to apply for a visa in Nanjing, I took the 8: 00 a.m. bullet train and arrived in Nanjing in 8 minutes 1 hour. Take the local train back to Hefei tonight, transfer the Xia-Ning copper line to Huainan line, and return to Hefei via Maanshan, Wuhu and Chaohu for four hours and ten minutes. Today's one-hour city circle, and the previous detours, I will not miss either.

Now, sitting in a small Internet cafe next to Nanjing Railway Station, listening to the roar of the train, I can vaguely distinguish whether it is a truck or a bus, a diesel locomotive or an electric locomotive, a Dongfeng locomotive or a Shaoshan locomotive. Those wheels that rattle and eat like crazy roll on the road, just like nature. Looking back at my childhood in grandpa's arms, listening to the roar of trucks on the Longhai line in the distance, and then listening to the horn of locomotives coming and going in Nanjing station not far away now, it seems like a lifetime ago.

I still remember one weekend in the first grade of primary school, my parents took my brother and me to Nanjing by car. At that time, there was only one expressway in Anhui, Hening Expressway and cement pavement. It is said that the 9 1 Jianghuai flood made Hening Expressway the only channel between Hefei and the outside world, and foreign aid materials entered from Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai in the east, which is the lifeline of Hefei. Of course, I haven't been to Hefei at 9 1 and I haven't seen a flood. However, 1996' s trip to Nanjing opened my eyes like Lin Zexu in the late Qing Dynasty.

Cement pavement, as soon as it entered the boundary of Jiangsu, was replaced by dark asphalt pavement. In my impression, asphalt road looks better than cement road. It's black, shiny, and painted with white or yellow dividing lines. It's really cute. So that when the expressway in Hefei turns from white to black in the future, I will cut relevant newspapers into newspaper clippings and keep them forever. The envy of Nanjing and the expectation of Hefei's development were the foreshadowing at that time.

I remember the scene when I traveled to Nanjing in the first year, which was many firsts:

I met my uncle McDonald for the first time, ate hamburgers for the first time, and knew for the first time that I would give a toy back after eating-McDonald's yo-yo;

The first time I saw the Yangtze River, the first time I saw such a wide water surface. When I crossed the Yangtze River Bridge by car, I didn't miss even a second, so that every time I crossed the river, whether I crossed the Yangtze River in Wuhu, Tongling, Jiujiang or Wuhan or crossed Zhejiang in Hangzhou and Ningbo, I couldn't help spending all my time enjoying the Yangtze River on the bridge deck.

The first time I saw so many buttonwood trees, the main roads and alleys were full of vicissitudes. In Hefei, this kind of scene can only be seen in a few places such as Wuhu Road and Old Town.

After that, I played for a special purpose, but I can't remember the time. Maybe I am in grade five or six in primary school, or I have entered junior high school. In a word, I have some basic knowledge of geography and history, and I came to Nanjing with my family again with a purposeful attitude. At that time, I already knew that Nanjing was the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, although I didn't know which one. I already know that Nanjing is a tiger in the dragon's nest, although I have not heard of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which later occupied this place. ...

At that time, I was still excited: I ate duck blood vermicelli soup for the first time, although I felt that it was not as good as Huainan beef soup and Qingdao mutton soup; I met a bus for pleasure for the first time-Tour1; First time I came to Qinhuai River mentioned in TV series; For the first time, I caught a glittering and translucent rain flower stone; I first came to Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, where the founding father was buried. I first saw the examination room of ancient candidates-Jiangnan Gongyuan. ...

Countless firsts, countless surprises, countless feasts, and countless gluttons. I have been to Nanjing for two days, but I am still wanting more.

The third time I came to Ning, it was the second semester of the first year of college. My sisters, Xiao Ceng and Wen Jia, lived in the dormitory of South Institute of Technology, and under the leadership of high school students, we visited the subway, Hunan Road, Nanjing Military Region, Yuhuatai, Confucius Temple and Fashion Ledi Underground Mall for free ... Although I didn't have a camera, I also left a commemorative photo, but I engraved the formation of those three days in my mind.

We stayed in the cheapest hotel and ate the most special snacks. The night before returning to Hefei, when we couldn't afford to stay in a hotel, we stayed in an Internet cafe for one night. After returning to Hefei, we fell asleep on the bus. Bit by bit, it has become a memory.

This is my fourth time here. Because I'm here to apply for a visa, I can't make great efforts to play, so I only stay for two days. As soon as I got off the train, I found the feeling of being in the magic capital Shanghai three months ago: I won't get lost easily in a huge city. Because of the subway, the city map and the kind citizens, my map of Nanjing is almost useless. With the sign of the subway station, the combined transportation of subway and bus, the clear labeling of the city map and the enthusiastic help of pedestrians on the road, I can always find my route and destination calmly.

The visa will be done soon. After walking 1 13 meters, you come to the long-lost underground shopping mall of Ledi Small Commodities. It's a shame that in the city, it's unimpeded, but in the underground shopping mall, I get lost many times. I'm worthless, too. When I see beautiful things, I don't know where to buy them, where to go, where to export them, or where I want to go. Although he is a man, I am still surprised by your dazzling goods. When I came out, my bulging wallet was as full as my stomach.

The food in the mall is too expensive. Let's come out for a bowl of duck blood vermicelli soup. Too weak, better than nothing. Go to the Hanting in Hougang, Beifu, Gulou. The booking period of the public bathroom cheap room I booked is coming soon. Surprisingly, the shabby hotel is very modern, with billiards, internet cafes and other entertainment facilities. The front desk clerk took the initiative to change my room into a room with a private bathroom and TV. The room number is 2 12 1. Today is my birthday! I can't hide my joy. I walked up to the second floor, but I got lost again, lost in the sea of people in room 127 on the first floor However, it is no exaggeration to describe the wall painting I found when I was looking for a house in the maze with a word that girls like to use now-love! This word seems to be out of date now.

Very loving: each room is painted with a mural, or lovers snuggle up, or children play, or natural beauty, all of which are a little rice style, fresh and concise, pleasing to the eye. When I opened the door, I found that everything was normal except that the lights were dim, the TV had no signal and the air conditioner had no horsepower! Let it go, have a good sleep, and then sleepwalk on the whole journey the next day.

Will I be so comfortable and comfortable in every city? Not exactly.

Once I went to Dalian, a family of four went out together, and the family was happy; Once I went back to my hometown of Shaanxi, delicious and delicious, eating a big kidney; What else is there? I'm afraid it is Nanjing. A city that haunts me.

Most people who know me know that I like drawing, especially maps, a country, a bunch of provinces, a group of cities, including railways, highways, waterways and industry, agriculture, military and so on. On the other hand, Nanjing is the blueprint in my map.

When I was in the fifth grade, I made up a city: Luobei, surrounded by mountains and rivers, with developed economy and rich culture. Luo, a native of Luoyang, Henan Province, was born in Weibei, Xianyang. But the layout, culture and essence of the city are all taken from Nanjing, which has nothing to do with me. You see, Luojiang is actually the Yangtze River, Luoshui is actually the Qinhuai River, the ancient city wall is the Ming City Wall of Nanjing, Luoshan is actually the Zhongshan Mountain, and even Jiangxinyu is taken from Nanjing Baguazhou.

I am in Hefei and my heart is in Nanjing.

In fact, Nanjing and I are predestined friends. Qinhuai River in Nanjing is called Qinhuai River. I was born in the land of Sanqin and grew up on the bank of Jianghuai. My name is Qinhuai, and my pen name is Qinhuai Jun, but it is also fate. The school I yearn for is Nanjing University. Although I won't have the opportunity to be a student of South University of Science and Technology in my life, I will be surrounded by teachers, classmates and even colleagues of South University of Science and Technology.

I want to tell Nanjing that I am from Hefei, and this life belongs to Hefei. Nanjing will always be the city in my mind, the blueprint of the city I compiled, and the study object of Hefei.

Everyone says that Hefei is five to ten years behind Nanjing. Before, I thought it would definitely exceed 10, but now, I believe it will be lower than this in the future. Compared with the history of Nanjing, we also have glorious years; Not as good as Nanjing's economy, but we are catching up; Compared with Nanjing's geographical advantages in the Yangtze River Delta, we have also joined the Yangtze River Delta camp and become the core of the Wanjiang City Belt. Not as spectacular as Nanjing, but we are also one of the livable cities. ...

Although it is said that Hefei will become an international metropolis, it is not hopeless after all. Over the years, I have witnessed Hefei grow from a traffic bottleneck, economic depression and cultural wasteland that does not have the qualification of provincial capital to a star in central China, a famous city in science and education, a transportation hub and the core of Anhui. I am full of pride, pride and confidence in returning to Hefei to work hard.

Nanjing has always been regarded as an example, and it is still an example, such as clear signs, such as green urban greening, such as crowded underground business districts, such as a dime a dozen museum galleries, such as underground railways extending in all directions. ...

Nanjing, my dream city; Nanjing, a city I love as much as Hefei; Nanjing, I mean the city that draws the most maps; Nanjing, a city where I never return empty-handed.

Nanjing, I remember your beauty, your exquisiteness, your majesty, your background, your modernity, your hospitality, every brick of your city, every hair salon and every bowl of duck blood vermicelli soup. ...

Tonight, I will leave Nanjing again, in this small Internet cafe in Nanjing Station next to Xuanwu Lake. I wrote down every word, wrote it in Nanjing and kept it in my heart.

Read a city, watch a period of history, taste a cultural lamp, sip memories and dream of an ink painting.

Nanjing, a city I can't let go, let's go.

Postscript: Qinhuai Garden of Qinhuai Jun

In fact, this article is an old one when I graduated from my senior year four years ago, and the writing is still very immature. Because I study history and geography, I have many plots about ancient capitals and modern historical cities, which is why I like Chengdu, Nanjing, Xi and Fuzhou. Although I have not been admitted to a university in Nanjing, nor have I found a job and settled down in Nanjing, the plot of Nanjing has been lingering in my heart. In fact, if you stay in any city for a long time, you will fall in love with her or hate her. I don't want to settle in Nanjing. I just want to preserve the beauty of Nanjing in my heart and not be covered with dust for too long.
