Take the streets (1) | Workers Village -Old Chengdu Street View, who has been forgotten by time

"A fade photo,

It seems to bring me a little nostalgia,

The hot soup noodles sold by Grandpa at the end of the lane,

The taste is filled with the old backyard. "

A song of Li Ronghao's "Old Street" made us seem to return to the past,

Seeing the high -rise building that rises from the ground,

Walking on the streets of the increasingly prosperous attractions,

Do you recall the red brick and green tiles of childhood?

Will you miss the time when you have been going through the streets and alleys?

Do you want to know more about the history and culture of your favorite streets and alleys?

The ancient Shu civilization has a long history,

Chengdu with a story has a lot of stories and streets and alleys.

To explore the memory of the city and record the beauty of the city,

China Net Sichuan specially opened the "Walking Strings" column

Take you back to the past and look for the story of every street!

A few days ago, Xiaobian was lying on the bed to brush the drama, and suddenly received a WeChat of Lao Cai who had been photographed shortly after entering the pit: "You know where there is a kind of fireworks that have not been updated and transformed in Chengdu now. The old town? "

The editor thought about it in his mind and replied: "Caojiaxiang Workers Village."

Everyone who likes Lao Chengdu should know the Caojiaxiang Workers Village, the mottled red brick wall, the staggered cables, the crowded and messy Caishi streets, and the passing human voices.

The intersection of countless elements is gathered into old Chengdu, and it has gathered into a generation of memories.

Caojiaxiang was originally a small street paved with a slate on the north bank of the Fuhe River. It was once a famous cigarette pier in Chengdu. The tobacco leaves through the ships of the Fuhe River have gathered here. A traffic road, the heavy -loaded chicken buses crushed out of the trench on the street for a long time, so this street was called a slot lane. Later Caojiaxiang.

In the peak of the construction of the Dongjiao Industrial Zone in the 1950s, Caojiaxiang became the dock of wood and water transportation. The round wood floating from Aba Prefecture in the upper reaches of the Minjiang River was salvaged ashore and sent to the east suburbs.

The origin of Workers Village was after the 1950s. In order to improve the living conditions of employees, the provincial and municipal construction units selected this area as employee dormitories. A large number of red bricks constituted a three -story tube building here and became a landmark building of the year. Because the districts live in this area, they are all unit workers, and it is also known as a worker village.

At that time, there was friction and love between people. But compared to the current community life, at least the distance between people and people is close, the communication is more, and the humanity is rich.

Later, with the southward movement of Chengdu's focus, the workers' village seemed to be an old object that was carefully treasured by time. Decades have passed. Chengdu has changed one after another. Only it retains its original original original. Some look like telling people about the years of Chengdu.

Today, most of the workers who live in the working village are retired workers. For them who have lived for a lifetime, the inconvenience of old houses is mostly used to it. It is the vegetable market here, and the traffic is also convenient. Walking around on weekdays, the neighbor neighbors who have been with each other for decades sit on the street and chat, chess next, and buy some dishes when they go home.

In Caojiaxiang, the old people will gather here every day to play chess

There are also the worst -prices of the city's lowest price environment in Chengdu, which is the worst -row market in Chengdu, which attracts citizens from the southeast and northwest to buy.

Walking in the market, I often see "there are waste copper and iron to sell ~~ Buy fragrant medicine pattern tobacco ~~~~ Buy soy sauce and vinegar ~, cut their head ~~~", this belongs to a generation Unique symphony.

Many of the elderly people who live here are unwilling to move away. Even if the payment entry of 24.4 was a real estate certificate, the aborigines preserved a thin payment note, guarding this place full of youthful memories.

After a few days, I received the news of Lao Cai again: "Today I went to the Workers Village, and the vegetable market was moved away. The people in the Tmou Building also moved away. To anyone, I haven't made that kind of fireworks. "The words were full of loss.

In fact, the Workers Village is the most memorable place for the old city today, but it still can't escape the destruction of time.

Xiaobian's heart is mixed. For people who live in a new house, the old city is a trace of Chengdu history. It is a place where we look for past time and find city memory.

But what about the Aboriginal people there? They have always endured the mess of old houses and old districts, endured leakage, power outage, and noise caused by the house's no sound insulation.

The so -called fascinating old town fireworks were silently endured its backwardness and shabby.

After dinner on the weekend, Xiaobian specially took a camera to a worker village. When he came a year ago, it was a lot less people.

When I took a picture, she met a aunt, and she said, "Take more, and this place is gone after a while."

The wheels of history will not go backwards. Fortunately, humans have invented the magic of light and shadow, and can keep some precious time on paper.
