The next night, just before a snow. Waking up / footprints, like a string of multi-verse! / Messy, but ultimately moving in one direction / year will do; there in November of sunshine I have never been to Harbin, in my imagination, Harbin is an exotic beauty with the northern city of her temperament is quiet, and she's building is diverse, and her subjects was leisurely, and her food is the most famous sausage and large columns Harbin Pakistani bread, energetic man of her beautiful woman, and she is the river --- The city on a shining necklace around his neck.
Wait to Harbin, I quickly confirmed this impression, I imagined all of this city should have a beautiful face and things, she still has.
Winter in Harbin Ice and Snow Festival is the period, the land of ice, and we Kazakhstan out of white vapor released into the atmosphere. Rush in the city, walk through, I have some surprises, but also a bit disappointed --- all of China's urban construction, is inexorably converge, even in regions with distinctive characteristics of Harbin, is also a high-rise buildings, the Chicago School of reinforced concrete architecture, Russia has been building pressure deep and inward-looking. Simply amazing is that temperament is also unique city of Harbin, and some experienced the vicissitudes of the Russian type old buildings, hidden in a number of ugly behind the glass curtain wall building is very humble to stand quietly, silently facing the market the hustle and bustle.
That day we walk in the street / snow began to fly / disturb our line of sight / so icy cold face of the street / start to become intimate it is an old city, but her historical memory, has been extremely poor with, because the new building group and the new children are born. Among a few days, we have traveled many parts of the city: Sophia Cathedral, Central Avenue, the Russian monopoly goods shops, Moscow restaurant; we the snow sculpture competition in the Sun Island Park area, to see a wide variety of The snow sculptures at night. Chinese Lantern Radiance, we walk through the ice in the Ice and Snow World Park buildings, the crowded bustling lively crowd and experience the carnival-like passion. Distance Songhua River shore, fireworks in the bloom, with the surging crowd in cheers, at that time no longer cold.
We drove 200 kilometers to go Yabuli ski experience unprecedented in the cable car up the mountain on the biting cold, cold like a knife like that, you can instantly make your fingers numb with cold, and now I remember . We also drove to a suburban Harbin, Hulan county, paid homage to the history of modern Chinese literature, an outstanding writer Xiao Hong's home. In her former home, I recalled that by her warmth, and described a number of the gardens --- is now covered by snow has been long and hanging out in a long time.
Also snow / I walk in the snow on the big / 20 crossed a few winters / strangely thought that the snow on the sparrow / think of Life really is a long / winter really long period of time, called the ice city of Harbin, but the The local government seems to think that this "ice city" gives the feeling of cold, not very much to promote that name. Because she still has a beautiful summer, and the famous Sun Island, then what is the city called it? I think in addition to a relationship, and snow and ice, it seems difficult to come up with another name. The city is to do snow and ice in the end the article, after all, in the winter, if you like snow and ice of the people are able to come to this city, and that the city alone travel on it. The great efforts to develop high-tech industry, I think that apart from very basis of military and medical industries, is very difficult to make a difference, or eat rice tourism and logistics.
However, regarding the city, her face, her features, her soul, but I find it difficult to generalize and write descriptions. I'm just a casual visitor, I can not describe the city's quiet surface, hidden deep breath and mind.
Moreover, the city's subjects all have different levels of existence and landscape, through the window, I saw a police car roaring past the convoy, under clear the way, he saw the child in the ice-field rotation, seen in an obscure the corner, some people curled up in the cotton-padded clothes and hat, and their chest hanging sign that reads, "plumbing hourly" message.
The snow suddenly upon us, as if / a sudden thought / has brought surprises, sadness, or a bit confused / ... ... is still under the snow, memories of death and become calm / may eventually snow will cover everything / and I am still singing for the lives we have seen a number of peers living in the city's great writers and poets, Chi Zijian, A Cheng, Zhang Shuguang, Cinque, Feng Yan --- they are a product of this land and the Wizard . I've always liked the pen Chi Zijian, those further north of North China, a number of small towns and large forests of the stories and characters, A Cheng's novel the name of a strange novel "dead horse of the winter rain," was gave me a lot of strange associations, as well as Zhang Shuguang, and Cinque, and a group of outstanding poets of the poems in Harbin is a footnote to this piece of land, I know I can not grasp and describe the city's true face and soul, but from these and This piece of land has a deep connection novelist and poet of the pen, you can find and ethos of this place, and all style, her gentle and atmospheric, her cold and compassion, her beauty and ruggedness. The novelist wrote that the winter has been described by numerous, but the most closely, and in winter, the winter brings the most inspiration was the poet Zhang Shuguang work. Have so much experience on the ice and snow, and verses of poetry filled with Zhang Shuguang, this article references all the verses are his poetry excerpt.
I am from his collection of poems, the read a lot of poems about winter, these verse are no doubt this piece of land and the city gave him a gift: spread out the night like a huge hand / contemplation is the snow pale blue / red handkerchief ... ... fleeting in the snow.
