In 2093, I have just graduated from college not long after that time, I counted the money, as well as of leisure. Because it is doing things to help my brother, so I want to practice, you can go.
That was my first time under the Yangtze River, Qiantang River to look for is the tide.
I went to Shanghai, one I grew up with deep-rooted prejudices place. In fact, I do not know why. I high school and college, there is a good girlfriend is a native of Shanghai people. I was her only girlfriend. I did not hide me from Shanghai to the inherent prejudices, but she said that I and others are different. My prejudices, and did not hinder my appreciation and acceptance of her. As I told the Cantonese stereotypes, like the best girlfriend I university is authentic Cantonese, but this is, I think that she and other Cantonese is not the same. As for the Shanghai and Cantonese in the end I know how much they can not pursue the matter.
I went to Shanghai, the train was pulling with a passion not understand. Because it had no idea where the living, thinking the University Guest House should be inexpensive and safe. So, I asked how to get to Shanghai University, they jumped into the bus. The bus conductor is very enthusiastic to tell me to where to next. Along the way, I have to patronize a look at the conductor, and, speaking in Shanghai, I do not understand, then packed in the steamer like the cars, the wear to drill go, spreading her enthusiasm. Unreachable place, like the whole car people are driven up by her, looking at those or casual, or full of coins, in a relay in the hands of another person with a camel to pass from the compartment farthest place, spread her hands, and then nothing not bad looking for redemption Youyi the same way, back to the source, each person in such a relay, we all seemed very excited, and this way, young and old have been to her care. I feel very fresh and fun. Comparison of Beijing bus conductor of cold, her enthusiasm, simply let me forget I was on a bus. Eyes, followed by those who waved the arm straight beat.
That night, I went to the Bund, but also took the bus to go. To the terminal, car parked in a small alley, surrounded by would not see the water. At that time, dumbfounded. To seize the crossing a person who asked how to get the Bund, the original was transferred several bends, through the alley several articles, to get to the Bund. He told me in detail how to go still regret to me that he was busy would be a catch, or you can take me to see the Bund. A very young man, enthusiastic, but did not see frivolous. I think I met a good man. If not, they are thick accent, I will not believe that they are authentic Shanghai, and this and I have imagined entirely different.
Thanked him, I would take a person to the Bund. Really makes people guessed, the Bund, there is no place where I settled. 3 is a pair of two-stage separated from men and women falling in love. They are definitely not look at the muddy Huangpu River to see if terminal noise, listening to the sounding steam whistles and see the towering bridge Chen Yi's calm and dignity, or to see the lights of the river across the stars overt or covert. Shanghai, is too crowded, and on the ordinary people, even the crowded Bund There is nothing more tolerant of their young love of the place.
I am a man, walked into the bustling Nanjing Road, watching the dazzling neon lights shining million species style and feel the splendor of that city. I have to admit, he would travel half of China, I have not seen a more beautiful city than in Shanghai.
Into the shop, let me angry is the beginning. I use standard Mandarin to take things to the salesperson, I see her indifferent. I heard a sudden thought, and in Shanghai to talk in Cantonese. I do not know if she hear their very understanding, slipped on the spoke Cantonese let her get something for me. Soon, I'm really not exaggerating, her face turning a color, very attentive to the things that showed me, and I Kanyemeikan, carry looked up, using the words of the sound of Guangdong Thank you, turn left, tube she did not can understand, I said, my upbringing and habits of the problem, in fact, I have no wish to thank her in this endeavor. I am just too familiar of the Shanghai people's snobbish, but also verify that my bias is not without reason.
In Hangzhou, I was pulling rickshaws running the streets looking for a place to live, because in the Hangzhou Railway Station, there is such a driver to solicit business, say a few dozen dollars a good bar, package you find a place to live. At that time, although I am a little money, but did not dare to live in Westlake hotels, finally, was admitted to the General Logistics Department of the Air Force, the guesthouse. Very close from the West Lake.
Throughout the West Lake, I have relied on two legs to go down, then inverted did not feel tired, as well as norm-kind of went to the village of Longjing tea, but also bought a super Longjing come back to my father, I have Dad say no authentic, I have been cheated, and do not know. Later I learned that the real Longjing trees so only a hundred to trees, while the genuine of Longjing tea, most of them had entered the palace, and the remaining, and also the local people buried in the ground, not very distinguished guests, is the fundamental no opportunity to the superior products of Longjing tea, the father had the honor to the goods once, or more than 20 years ago already. In particular, Dreaming of the Tiger is no longer clear in the spring.
From Hangzhou, I had intended to take the train to Henin-Hardenne, buy tickets at the station when encountered one person told me that the train was too late, let me Ben long-distance bus station, said there were a car was removed to go to, but can catch upwith 1:30 tide of that class. He also gave me two tickets, saying that there is a temple, is the best point of view. Himself because of temporary problems, it can not go, and tickets Jiusong me. I later learned that this vote really played a big role in the. I first thought, watching tide, was just to the riverside on the list do, and then I, I may have picked up of life.
Go in time, still shun, to take the bus and then switch to light, and then embarked on a long period of potholes uneven fields, I finally found that the only temple. That was real to be pre-sale tickets. The man gave me two tickets, and the other tickets I was to send no send out, not unwanted, but some people actually asked me to be two greedy. An angry, I surmise the two tickets into the.
On the second floor of the platform, I clearly see the front of the open surface of the river and dam, as well as an embankment dense mass of people. We waited a long time and finally saw the spectacular scenes of the. Later, my boss said that a woman should have a water-like character of the following reasons: When did you have seen a further sharp knife to cut were without water it? He said this, I thought that looking at the Qiantang River tide. Yi Zhang side of the high water wall, swept across the surface of the river, if not personally see it, I find it impossible to imagine, that is water that swept all muddy and dirty, cover all of the turmoil and unrest of the water; is that a knife can not off of water. My people are staying for. I forgot my camera, forgetting his own whereabouts. A long time, when the river past the calm restored, when the crowd began to disperse, I was also immersed in the share of in shock.
When I Sheung ready to return to Shanghai, I found the problem. Went so far as there is no one bus can take me to the train station Haining, those buses, in bringing us to our destination here, after a sudden disappeared from the earth. No one thought, how can we go out. Nor is there any one public sector for private car would let me take along feet. I saw an instant into a large parking lot side of the Qiantang River, no matter what the cars are absolutely still. And dynamic, is a long flow of people, and it is like me, who sit without a car and began a long journey, I still do not know how long to go to reach the train station, may have to come to dawn, if I go action words. But at that time, I know, I come to the stage of the.
I Left circumstances, if the waving stopped by a passing motorcycle. In that case, only the motor is the fastest means of transport. That person is not a solicitation, but just look at Hangzhou, a friend came back, he did not go to the Haining City. But he said he could take me to a nearby town where he lives, where there will be motorized soliciting me to the train station. I imagined him on the previous car. Soon, he would just drive away from the packed main road, first in parallel to the main road for a trail run, but also see the herd of people and not move the car quickly, you do not see any people and way, we shuttle back and forth sorghum ground, my mind desperately Da Zhezhuan, ever, and his speech, the only idea is to know more of his things and the local situation, and efforts to remember the walk the way, I even at that moment, thought, and if I was sold, how can I do.
About an hour later, we finally reached a town. He told me that he had at home. He stopped me in the distance a group of motorcycle not far off place. The past and which I have not heard one person讲了些什么. But he said to me when you come back to me said:
"Do not worry, I have a good talk with him, he'll take you to the railway station, he would not be used to ask you money, give him 15 yuan on the list." The number I remember very clearly, because it would almost be my prostitute money. I would like to give him money, and he persisted in his refusal income, he probably saw me nervous, while he had just built up confidence, made me finally say my request, I asked if he could send me to the Railway Station, the money I could more. He said that it is impossible, he just so anxious to come back from Hangzhou because of his illness with his mother. He told me assured that that person said, and I was his distant relative, that person will not how I like.
I do not worry there is no way, and looked at the person pushing that Wutaisancu motorized came up to me, I bite the bullet on, at that moment, I went so far right that brings me to the town's strange that the men, With such a heavy attachment.
Then the road is still in the former shop in the middle of nowhere fields fall in. I simply did not feelings of fear, I felt that the fate of the. I was lucky nothing happened to Henin-Hardenne on the railway station. That driver really only cost me 15 yuan. But through it all we've got way more than an hour.
More than six courses that train back to Shanghai, although I have the votes, but could not go up car, I saw someone look inside the window to climb. At that moment, I really felt his own as a woman, want to maintain a minimum of the educated woman's sadness and helplessness. Behind it, there a train passing car stopped, the door failed to open, or fully loaded. Still later, perhaps the last class of the day the train back to Shanghai, and I was in the station's staff with the help of hardware was to go into the.
When I was in Shanghai has been the midnight. I remember a common sense told me that the people of Shanghai in Shanghai, as long as the mass of the taxi, you can rest assured of playing. I let the taxi take me to the Shanghai University, that night, because no availability, I have to fight with another person room. I am tired no effort to speak, and the supply of hot water again after a time, had been rashly washed with cold water, fell down asleep, if the middle of the night it was lifted out to sell, with an estimated do not know. Had never been seen, wallet really are a lot of cash, not like now, go out, my wallet is likely to block a hundred years have not, because when the real money, there are credit cards, and ATMs are everywhere, there is no need to bring cash in the body, provoke unnecessary fear and troubles.
I am so gone half a month before returning to Beijing. The middle of no mind make a phone call home报平安. When I returned home, my mother opened the door to see a play I did not say hello back, and flew into tears up, and said the first thing I still remember "the girl, are you still alive, ah!" My mother thought I was lost of it. Police said they have moved the idea of the.
That year 19 people died Qiantang River tide, is standing riverside squeezed down, the volume where tidal disappeared, which is a statistical no statistics, only days know. Mothers believe that my ability to survive, but who can guarantee it, I will not being in the accident, in particular, so long, I never heard from again.
The next south, the other details I am very blurred, only to see the Qiantang River tide of this section, always vivid. From this beginning, I did remember that after every one place, as far as possible the first time to his family reported that a safe; also from this time, so I am convinced that this world is always good and more. Continually inspired and have the confidence, conviction, and began the journey alone, and probably that these unexpected gains.
