I have traveled to many cities, but not many have inspired me to write. Because those cities have no characteristics and are becoming more and more integrated. I lived in Kaixian County for a month, but I kept thinking in my mind that I had to write this passage in my heart.
Kaixian County is affiliated to Chongqing and was called Kaizhou in ancient times. The county not only inherits many customs and habits of eastern Chongqing, but also has its own unique charm. Living in Kaixian County, I like its tranquility and freedom. Without the crowds and noise of big cities, I can walk quietly in my own circle and enjoy an independent life. Even at night, when people take to the streets, it's more interesting than the crowds in big cities.
This is a new city where immigrants have moved, but there are still many old things. What impressed me the most were those ancient human-powered tricycles, which wandered around the corners of the city every day, turning Kaixian into a convenient leisure city. In the small town of Kaixian County, there are hundreds of human-powered tricycles and many motorized tricycles, nicknamed "Numb". These tricycles run around every corner of the street. The charges are not high and they cause little pollution and noise, but they have a certain effect. The role of scholars.
I lived in Kaixian County, and during the forty days, I rarely took a taxi. Every day when I go out and walk to the gate of the community, I raise my hand and there are many human-powered tricycles surrounding me. I choose one to get on and tell me the address where I want to go. The tricycle carries me leisurely on the street, like sitting on a stable sedan. . Locals also like to take rickshaws, whether going to or from get off work or to and from school. Many parents do not send their children to school, so they hire one themselves.
When I am tired, I like to take a nap on the tricycle. I don’t have to worry about missing the place I want to go. The master will wake me up when I reach the destination. In a good mood, I sat in the car and enjoyed the scenery on the roadside. The county town is not big, and I can clearly see the women walking on the street, the teahouses on the roadside, the old men setting up stalls, and the people "fighting landlords" on the wide sidewalks, which all make me feel fresh.
A woman from Kaixian County is fair and plump. She is sitting in a human-powered tricycle. The car does not move very fast, so she can clearly see the faces of the women on the street. They strolled down the street, their slow pace, graceful grace, and every gesture were pleasing to the eye. If you are a man who is not self-disciplined, you almost want to get married again here. No wonder people say, "When I arrive in Chongqing, I regret getting married too early." The group of men were dressed dignifiedly and walked on the streets at a leisurely pace. Women have pulled up a long scenery line and put beautiful animations on the streets of Kai County. The small city has added a special cultural landscape.
The old man who set up the stall was sitting by the street, with a bamboo basket beside him containing some things from the old era. The old man squinted his eyes and looked at the people walking around, as if he was recalling his glorious years and enjoying his wonderful old age, but he could not forget the idea of ??doing business, and he had to move out the antiques of his own era and look for customers. The things in the bamboo basket have been eliminated by urban life. The simple matches and bronze cigarettes are sitting peacefully, showing their age. Occasionally, the old man picked up a cigarette inside, held it gently on the stem, and enjoyed the taste of the cigarette. The cigarette is rolled with a piece of tobacco leaf without any packaging. It is cut into two-inch lengths and can be directly put into the pipe. Looking at these old gadgets reminds me, a person who travels all over the world, of their years and traveling back and forth in the long river of history.
I was dazzled by the different signs of the teahouses on the roadside. Sitting on a rickshaw, strolling through the streets, or looking for a deep and quiet teahouse is an interesting part of small town life. Just like Chengdu people driving on the streets looking for delicious food, they have a hearty meal that is unforgettable. People in Kaixian also like to discuss business in teahouses. Over a cup of tea, they talk about the past and present, the past events in Kaixian and today's affairs. They can't finish talking in one day, and business opportunities are also unfolding in these words.
Get on the rickshaw and turn into the narrow alley. Although it is a new city, there are no traces of ancient civilization and no paintings of Suzhou gardens, but the small shops and delicious food that left deep memories are there. Unforgettable for a lifetime. Kaixian people are different from southerners and northerners in terms of diet. They pay equal attention to meat and vegetables and have many special snacks.
When I was free, I got on a rickshaw and asked the driver to take me to find delicious food. I walked through the deep alleys and found the buns, steamed rice noodles, braised duck feet, wheat cakes, etc. I wanted to eat. After eating, the sun shone on my face, dyeing it golden and spreading its warmth, and I walked back to my apartment with satisfaction.
It was early autumn when I arrived in Kaixian County. Sometimes it was already noon after finishing my errands. I would go back to my residence and take a rickshaw through alleys one after another. I would see groups of tricycle drivers placing their vehicles under the shade of trees and taking a nap while sitting in the carriages. , the appearance of sleeping soundly makes people have endless associations.
When night falls, men and women living at home go to the streets for a stroll, or three or five people gather together to chat, or drink some wine and eat some peanuts on the street . Sitting on the tricycle, I looked at them with envy and at the leisurely life of the people in the small town.
After leaving Kaixian, I still missed the human-powered tricycle. I wonder if I would have the opportunity to go there for three to five years and enjoy true leisure.
