In the demolition of Jinan, there is a place called Haiyan Gate …

If you just stand at the street corner and look at Haiyan Gate through the tortuous street, it is undoubtedly a decent old-fashioned building, bungalow and even one or two quaint quadrangles. This is the feeling when I first came to Haiyan Gate, if we can consider the Poly Lotus not far away, or the Xia Yuhe Pavilion on the Daming Lake in the distance. It is completely affordable for pedestrians passing by, and there is no lack of quaint features in Jinan.

it's a pity that, against the gorgeous background of poly hibiscus, there is no old area of quaint hometown, and the dilapidated old area is even more unbearable. Many floors have long been ruined. The dilapidated wooden windows, mottled wall paint, and mosquitoes bred under the humid heat in summer have turned this community, which once recorded a generation's youthful struggle, into a "ruin" that does not lead to any place.

Barely leaking red brick exterior walls, old garbage that can be piled up everywhere, and pungent corners when approaching, all of which are telling us that it has lasted for a long time.

When I arrived at the demolition site of Haiyan Gate, all the work was already going on step by step, which made me feel a little lost.

The first time I stood in Dongweimenwai Street, the first time I stood in Haiyanmen Street, which was an old road with some potholes. The two sides of the road were crowded with stalls needed for living. The busy faces will make you forget that you are in an urban area comparable to the city, with both ends of the road and the prosperity of the city. In the middle, it is a quiet village, floating in the air, which belongs to modernity. There is also a dilapidated threshold, around the corner of the air resistance, children living at home are laughing and laughing, while on the wall not far away, the red banner of "resolutely implementing government policies and carrying out demolition work in a stable and orderly manner" is also floating and smiling. . .

I'm immersed in my thoughts about the whole area, and my ears are filled with noisy quarrels. When it comes to the house, China people are always cautious.

In fact, since I entered the demolition of Haiyan Gate, I have been thinking about using a pen to record. At this time, what I have contacted and felt in this work experience is delayed because I think it is meaningless to describe the whole demolition process or the construction organization process compared with the changes in the whole psychological process. When I am ready to make a phased summary of this experience, the whole demolition work has come to an end. There are so many people coming and going every day, laughing, resentful, resentful or treacherous. Under all kinds of appearances, what I feel most is China people's obsession with the house.

I don't know if people who read this passage have the same experience as me. I came to this city from my hometown in the countryside, looking for a job, renting a house, and commuting by bus every day. I looked at the old general manager of the company with envy, envied their rising bank deposits and visible mortgage schedule, and fantasized that I had a small house of my own in Jinan, a city that was not prosperous but desirable enough.

As a result, the house has become a complex and a heart disease, and it will get worse with your age. Old people talk about getting married and starting a career, and they often say that leaves fall to the roots. And here, home and roots, in this era, have the most reasonable explanation-house. Only a house, a house of my own, and a real estate certificate with my name on it will give me an unprecedented sense of belonging and security in this city, which is far from familiar. For people at that time, the house not only existed to shelter from the wind and rain, but also existed as a kind of humanistic information. The house told me with the spirituality of life: I am the owner here, and I can live here with peace of mind.

speaking from the national character, China people are actually a very "homebody" group, preferring to stay at home rather than go out when they have nothing to do. Therefore, China people like to decorate their houses very much, and dress them up as their favorite homes. Think about it. After a hard day at home, when they return to their beautifully decorated houses, their hearts are instantly swelled by the warmth of their families, and all the tiredness goes with them.

While talking about these ideas in a leisurely way, I am also thinking about my own house complex. I am extremely eager to have a small house of my own in this city, more than ever. It won't leave me, it won't wake me up in the middle of the night, it will wait for me to get off work quietly, and watching me go to work will make me feel a little at home in this city that doesn't belong to me.
