Bulgari is the area where I live. I have lived here since I was born, studied and worked. I have lived here for more than 30 years. I have feelings for it. The residents here are warm, friendly and talkative. I often see community residents chatting in hutongs, talking about everything from parents to state affairs. As the saying goes: gold neighbors and silver relatives.
According to the information on the Internet, Ba Jin lived in Bulgari for a period of time in 1932, where he created the novella Dream of the Sea. Later, after Ba Jin moved away, it became a residential building. Because it has not been established for a long time, it has not been listed. But it is precisely because the concession Korea where Ba Jin once lived has a little literary flavor, which also makes me love writing and life more.
With the rise of alley tour in Tianzifang, foreigners who come to Shanghai have a strong interest in our life in the alley. Every once in a while, there are always tour groups with foreigners visiting our alleys. The tour guide explained the history of Burgauri to foreigners visiting this alley. Sometimes foreigners will communicate with us in English when they see the residents in our community, so I use Hi and hello to deal with foreigners. Once I heard my aunt say that when foreigners came to visit the alley, they found that the children in our alley were very small.
Every time I look at the archway of Hutongkou, my heart is filled with emotion. By visiting Bugaoli, foreigners can feel the enthusiasm and friendliness of community residents, understand the alley culture and daily life of Shanghai residents, and make them love Shanghai as an international metropolis more.
