Autumn quietly arrived, and once again came to the capital, came to this shining city in charming style.
Past time to Beijing, and I feel is always blue skies, quiet and peaceful. But now, when I came to this city when there is some loss but my mind was: The sweeping, but after the Beijing SARS will be is what it look like?
Went to the hotel from the airport road, I began to pay attention to the city, expect to see clues in the passing scene. The curtain window curtain scenery remains the same, days, or so blue, the wind is still fresh, green trees, clouds fluttering, roads more smooth, more high-rise buildings. Head of the Beijing did not see any difference, all the original look.
Perhaps the reason for the weekend, high-speed roads are not many cars can speed very quickly. Those colorful cars, Mercedes-Benz on the road at high speed, like a colorful streamers falling vast land. I remember the newspaper said, the current car ownership in Beijing has been more than two million, of which half a year to add 70 million units, mostly members of the public in order to avoid spread of the disease and acquired. 2 million is not a small figure, and my heart to imagine, with so many cars, the streets of Beijing should be overcrowded, car next to car, line up and become a huge open-air parking lot. May be a matter of fact, Beijing carrying capacity of the car too, and two million of the concept and crowded, and did not show an obvious positive relationship between the traffic is still very loose, do not seem rushed. This is the atmosphere in Beijing. Zhefan views and our canned sardines that compared to the same urban traffic, or a lot of people feel relaxed.
To the hotel to live down, I feel different. Here, everywhere you can see the traces left behind by SARS, as after the war left scars everywhere, like a passing resemblance. Into the entrance hall is set at body temperature measurements, it seems that body temperature of people left, a short while we should come back the same; room had been disinfected and other signs, labeling was also evident retained, as if SARS was never far away, and soon will come back the same ; restaurant can also detect the supply of meals made with caution when the. This is a far cry from that city we had. When the epidemic is declared when, overnight, to the city streets, stations, hotels and all other test points are those that the body temperature disappeared, and did not leave a little trace, as if nothing had happened. There has never been any condition, there is no fear, there will naturally not so much alert.
In the taxi and the driver chatted up, and asked when the Beijing SARS taxi situation. Case of a few drivers, said parking time to quit at home Xiezhuo can not sacrifice human lives. It seems the epidemic has ended, but the terrible things that also makes them reeling. Then suddenly the scene seems hard to forget, just as the Great Tangshan Earthquake gives the bottom of my heart, like the shadows cast by the need many years to play down the forgotten.
Experienced the SARS attack, perhaps people here are psychologically fragile, and can not afford a new epidemic hit. Fortunately, we have control and treatment of patients, otherwise, the recurrence of SARS patients, the city insisted tension. Food, medicine and health protection products, but also sell a good price.
Because of the SARS epidemic, Beijing will add a number of material and moral immunity, which will in future have a great role in promoting growth. It will especially cherish the experience of war to peace, has experienced the epidemic would be very trace of civilization. This is not difficult to understand things, because the days are peaceful and been forgotten, and lost should be alert. Today, although the SARS epidemic has brought some sacrifice and anxiety can be no more than 50 years for this generation of war and plague people, to be a well-intentioned advice.
After all, heart disease in people cast a shadow. That way, people treat themselves, treat others, treat the community will have more thought, but also a little more tolerance and goodwill. This is a familiar stranger in Beijing are able to feel for themselves. Indeed, with the common experience of life and death has gone, it will have more understanding of communication, perhaps this way down, people will have more insights about life on people's survival will be a new understanding of the relationship.
This is a few nights, I often recall the scene in Beijing over the past years, some very plain things often flashes in the mind, and makes the taste of ordinary goods, chewing to find those forgotten feelings. This may be called a reflection on the bar.
It is worth mentioning that I actually did 20 years ago for the first time to Beijing's dream to see a group of young smiling faces, and the scene when they go out together, everything is so real and natural, cordial endless. When woke up, but also those who have not yet felt the walk a longer distance, to go out they will be able to Han Zhu. I will not explain it, but also do not know whether they are related with SARS subconscious, but it can be once again returned to the youth, and the joy of reunion in the past, directed at this point would like to thank Beijing.
And Beijing, I will do what is fate? If not, why have such a number of thoughts and feelings. Although only a feeling, but I feel very good, how could we use the fashionable phrase saying: all revel bar!
