, Dalian, Qingdao - the unpleasant memories of the colonial imprinted over a very long time, I decided to write about in July of this year, Dalian, Qingdao travel unpleasant memories. Although the beauty of these two cities, but it was left after the visit to this national self-confidence in serious doubt.
First went to Dalian, we have from Jiangsu car, all the way over, in Penglai, on the ferry in the evening, to Dalian. The first impression is that the grand breadth of an international metropolis, full of tall buildings and lights. We do not consciously and Nanjing, he was compared with that of Nanjing city more orderly than the more affluent non-uniform and rhythmic beauty. Nanjing, it appears that the formation and rigid. Into the main city, the feeling is clean, tidy and prosperous, but also with some European flavor. Night, the city is not damp heat, no one will not suddenly fall in love with this city. Jiefang on one night accommodation and the China Travel related by blood, a Samsung hotel, in addition to a small television, the lack inferior to Chen.
Five o'clock the next morning to get up at the door to fight Zhongshan Square, a tiny square, surrounded by the beginning of the last century, the Japanese occupation era building Western-style buildings. Place on lawns and huge trees, picturesque. The road around the new asphalt paint, black lights, but also the morning, vehicles rarely, unusual clean. For we come from south of the people, Dalian is a familiar and unfamiliar city, said the familiar, because in recent years, urban construction in Dalian, and his well-known mayor who has become a classic or a legend, that strange, because we are This is a city without history, Nanjing, Suzhou, Yangzhou, which is not more than 2000 historical, to say the least, say before 1945, the city where?
Do not walk long distance to see a lot of Western-style buildings, came closer, the original Russian one street, when the sky is still early, Lian Tan outstanding job openings, on the road a mess. Construction of course, very good-looking, not only the onion, there is a similar town hall spire construction in Western Europe. Zhuzu appreciation of I can not help but think this has been back and forth see-saw battle powers, the "China City", I think of Boris Yeltsin recently in Dalian, convalescence, medical treatment, I wonder if he saw these buildings would feel are thinking things?
The day went to Port Arthur, visit the Russo-Japanese prisons, military port and so on. In the Japan-Russia Prison, the greatest feelings, not that human hellish prison room, but the beautiful buildings and excellent facilities. Many colleagues with emotion, which is now catching up with some of the new prisons are not necessarily those of the last century building, but inside the layout is reasonable, vaguely can feel some respect for humanity out. We can learn from these aspects, are not we, Chinese people, more shameful things, we are up to one hundred years later, in prison, this issue has not yet reached the level of others.
Port Arthur naval port stench, a strong business climate. Visit, I really meant was, if the military port is still in the hands of Russian or Japanese, is not very clean, like Vladivostok or NATO?
Port Arthur has a thick atmosphere of the former Soviet Union. What the Soviet monument, the small train station, as well as set off in the courtyard behind the complex and deep trees, the Russian buildings, much like a military compound in west Beijing may be the authority before liberation Soviet Navy did not know how the locals view, Anyway, I was very unhappy about it. No wonder the Russians feel well Laomao year and, only after one hundred years later, I felt a deep shame.
Dalian, formerly found on the Internet clatter Donini, is Russian: meaning a place far away from Moscow. Later, after the Japanese occupied it still says pyridaben Donini, retrocession, the renamed Dalian.
When you leave Dalian, in the sea, blowing wind, I think is: why such good city to be discovered by the Russian people do? Our 5000 years old cultural tradition of the Chinese people, why can not identify what is payment? Secondly, why can the Japanese as well as Taipei, Dalian, Changchun to build it so good, why is a the hands of the Chinese people, but rather build it? Is this nation really is not? Third, some were residents of the colony Finally, the colonists and colonial cultures of identity, which in the end is an act conforms to the historical or tragic?
Anti-Japanese War and later thought confused because of dementia, have long been fooling the public spirit of resistance in the Central Plains have lost population, as if that in a small village in Hunan, a village of thousands of people did not dare to deal with No. 1 Japanese soldiers, the last all been culling . Think of the enemy's theater and obedient citizens think about the "certificates can be," thought the Nanjing Massacre, and later remembered, "Yangzhou on the 10th," "Tu Jiading 3" and so on. Sometimes think about it, as if this nation was pumped spine. Thought of Lu Xun came, then thought, was born in the Yangtze River, in the end it is a kind of fortune or misfortune?
(If someone reply, I will continue with its journey from Dalian)
