In a city made of reinforced concrete, there are always a few ancient streets and alleys that quietly pass through the years of urbanization and contain the city's most moving past and most authentic present.

Of course, Putian, which has a profound historical and cultural heritage, has many ancient streets like this.

The community downstairs in Hanjiang Hanxi Street was once the most prosperous street in Hanjiang. A few decades ago, businessmen from all over the country came to buy goods on this street. There were even many goods on this street that crossed the customs and flew into the street.

Enter overseas markets.

This street also has a more familiar name called "Hanjiang Back Street". For old Hanjiang people, this is their beautiful childhood memories and a past they want to go back to but cannot.

Hanxi Back Street is the only block in the central city of Hanjiang that has not been demolished and renovated. There are many ancient buildings here. As soon as you come here, you feel like you have traveled through the confinement of time. For a moment, you feel like you have returned to the bustling street decades ago.

This place was originally located at a maritime wharf and was the main seaway leading to Southeast Asia and coastal areas. Therefore, there were many merchants and the commerce was relatively developed.

There are still many stores open now, and at a glance, the business scope covers seafood, snacks, bambooware, brown hemp rope and white iron processing industries.

The old trades that disappeared in the steel behemoth are everywhere here.

The old shop signs mean that this old street has gone through a lot of hardships. When you see these signs, you instantly feel that the flow of time has slowed down...Walking around, you will find that the pace of life of the people living here is always slow and comfortable.

Yes, there are no large vehicles here, only motorcycles and bicycles occasionally pass by. The bells played by the bicycles are clear and loud. Hanxi Central Primary School is located in the center of the street. It is during the school day, and the sound of reading can be heard in the school.

Together with the hawking sounds of the aunties at the shop at the door, it creates a sense of fun.

Along the way, we also saw many old houses, most of which were dilapidated, but still inhabited. Some uninhabited houses were deserted, with broken doors and windows, and the walls were gradually weathered.

Walking around the old street downstairs, I felt a lot of emotions.

These imprints full of long-standing humanistic commercial culture and architectural features of the era can't help but remind people of the disappeared ancient houses and the bustling shops.
