I often miss those ancient cultural situations in books, and I often miss and lose those people, things, and things without knowing it.
When you go for a walk with your friends, apart from the photos, you can take away the subjective feelings of being truly immersed in the scene with your eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind.
This remnant of ancient villages, squeezed into modern buildings, seems to be lingering on, more like leaving a little richer truth for this era.
The children played together in the streets with innocent smiles, and when they saw us taking pictures of them, they all posed seriously; the old people, with their faces full of grooves, sat quietly by the alley, dozing or meditating, and were astonished by the comings and goings.
The passers-by who posed like this paid attention to us; an old dog was lazily basking in the sun in the distance. What a beautiful sunshine. It was a quiet moment without being disturbed, and there was also a burst of excitement caused by the passing of the stroller.
Beautiful bell music.
The old alleys, people and things, and the rusty Sun Wukong rocking cart all declare the dilapidation here, but the old streets are also leisurely and waiting.
These three vertical and eight horizontal ancient alleys have also given birth to generations of people and formed a corner of Shenzhen’s Chaoshan culture, including those porches, colorful flags, stickers, mung bean cakes, etc.
Once the ancient style of the building is transformed into a high-rise building to fit in with modern life, you will no longer see the modern houses that were renovated by the older generation themselves.
Architecture pops out of the mother's womb like a baby, but will it be abandoned because of old age?
There are one of the few ancestral halls in Shenzhen to worship culture.
The gray sculptures are made with great care by craftsmen.
A cool motorcycle parked on a narrow alley.
There are some Chaoshan specialties at the vegetable market in the ancient village where people come and go.
There are not many enthusiastic vendors in shopping malls who put customers first. One big brother ignored me. Compared to the ones in big shopping malls, he was very individual. Maybe he was also dissatisfied with something. He was more gentle and kind.
A soft-spoken face.
A corner of a narrow butcher shop.
Chaoshan’s famous mung bean cake.
Cantonese herbal tea can also cure colds and other symptoms.
(These pictures that dominate the market are of Miss Civet Cat) In Chaoshan, beef, mung bean cakes, herbal tea, etc. are all necessities in life, and the taste and effect are of course great.
Compared with some regular alleys like the Luohu Grand Theater, here it seems more charming and colorful. There is no commercialization and homogeneity there. Each store here has its own characteristics. You can see
The masters make their own works.
In order to make a good living for the family, like it, of course it is inevitable to buy, buy and eat.
The skin has fallen off and the heart is empty.
Just like mung bean cakes will no longer be made with lard, the old alley will never go back to its former self.
No matter how much emotion you express, it is all nonsense. What is the real pursuit?
How to define this village where Chaoshan people lived together?
Which style do they deviate from and need to be transformed?
Where should people turn for hope?
We don’t know in our hearts, and even if we know, we won’t do it, which makes shouting even more redundant.
What other knowledge do we have?
Silence is probably the last bit of consciousness.
Haha and I are two little dots in this 500-year-old alley. We are shocked!
From now on, this place will become a corner of a long scroll in Shenzhen, and we can only watch from the sidelines.
Even with 3D, VR, AR and other technologies, there is nothing we can do about this kind of loss that is torn apart from memory!
Farewell, Hubei Ancient Village!
Friends, the places we have walked through gradually become desperate, but our hearts remain unchanged.
Use our pictures and words to record all the past in our hearts. Although it is fragmented, it is also a scene in our movie. We smile to remember it, look at it peacefully, and think about the distance.
