East Street, West Street, Shouren Bridge ... The years of Dachang Ancient Town that can't be returned.

More than 3 years ago, Shourenqiao Road was flanked by Yinxing Street, Dongjie Street, Xijie Street, Beinong Street, Dachanghe Road in dachang town, as well as the dense residential houses and adjacent shops. Although dachang town covers a small area, it has a long history and is well-known ...

In the long years, dachang town has been revived several times. Before the 198s, there was a scene of "small bridges flowing, people were sleeping on the river" in dachang town. In 1982, the river was filled to build roads, and the scenery of the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River disappeared. However, the road names left by Shourenqiao Road and Dachanghe Road after filling the river, as well as the roadway pattern of roads and houses, can still make people feel the amorous feelings of Jiangnan town.

In the early 198s, my work unit was in the east of dachang town, surrounded by fields and rivers, so dachang town became the "back town" we often visited. At that time, there were almost no buses on the middle road. I often walked from Yinxing Street in the east to Dongjie Street, crossed Shourenqiao Road until the end of Xijie Street, and then took bus No.58 on Hutai Road back to my home in the city. There are many evenings when we get off work, the Youth League branch collectively organizes everyone to go roller skating in the stadium, or go to the stadium theater to watch movies ... More than 2 people are mighty, crowding round, some on foot, some riding bicycles in the back seat and then taking people, along the Juvenile Village Road, crossing the Nanhe branch railway crossing to the west, crossing the Xianghua Bridge and Jihui Bridge on Zoumatang, smelling the fragrance of the fields against the sunset, and soon reaching their destination. This is a road.

At this time, most of the houses in the east and west streets of Dachang Town had been rebuilt by residents, with uneven height and different colors and styles, but they still maintained the pattern of small towns in the south of the Yangtze River in the past. Some corrugated rooms on low roofs also string out yellow "tiles", as if time had stopped. I remember that at that time, there was a public faucet every ten steps on the street in dachang town, surrounded by a shallow pool made of cement, and the bottom of the pool was washed as smooth as a mirror by tap water. Many people like to spread things in the pool when washing clothes and vegetables; Some old women beat their clothes with sticks, just like washing clothes by the river ... This ancient washing method makes me feel the novelty of going back in time.

When you arrive at West Street, it's like stepping into another world. The shops on both sides here are dazzling and dazzling. Department stores, food stores, dim sum shops, grain and oil stores, grocery stores, bamboo shops, as well as photo studios and Xinhua Bookstore ... There were a lot of "hair salons" for a while, almost every once in a while. What Ziteng Barbershop, Real You Mei Barbershop, Beauty Salon House, Lulu Barbershop ... Every time I pass these hairdressers with simple decoration, I feel that people in dachang town will always keep pace with the urban area in the pursuit of fashion. However, what impressed me the most on West Street was a Xinhua Bookstore. Because of my work, I often come to this bookstore to buy promotional books for my unit.

I often come here in the afternoon to buy theoretical study propaganda books for my company. The store manager always gives me a warm reception and carefully selects books for me. When there were many books, he ordered the clerk to deliver them to the factory the next day. If there are few books, tie them up for me on the spot and let me take them directly back to the factory. Then, with a book in my hand, I felt a sense of satisfaction in completing the task. I walked across the North Street Lane, past Wanyi Sauce Garden, Yipinxuan Arts and Crafts Store and Gaoshunji Mutton Store, which are antique in West Street and have two stone lions on the door, and took the No.58 bus home on Hutai Road.

Sometimes, I will stop by Dachanghe Road in the south of West Street. There are bazaars, red light bookstores, large and small restaurants, and all kinds of vendors ... It presents another lively and noisy atmosphere.
