Essay on the Journey of Reunion after a Long Separation

Fate is a kind of inexplicable thing in the world, with people, with things, with mountains, with water, or with a city. Just like there is always a person in your life who worries you, there is always a scenery that haunts you, and there is always a city that you can't forget ... Taking the opportunity of the BRICS meeting in Xiamen, I packed my memory of Xiamen into my bag and set out in the direction of bright lights in the moonlight.

For Xiamen, she is more like an old friend after a long separation. I can't remember when we met, and I can't remember the number of times we met. Even the last time we met is blurred. Wandering in nostalgic thoughts, time is always complicated and simple. I only remember that when I first met, I was jubilant when I was young, leaving all my light footsteps, happy laughter and clear eyes to her. And she also presented me with the most classic Gulangyu Island, Xiamen University and Nanputuo, as well as clean beaches, brick-red houses and clean streets.

after each meeting, I expected something and gained something. It seems that she never failed me. With the wind of reform and opening up and the title of special economic zone, she took off at a speed of thousands of miles a day and soon became a modern international port scenic tourist city. The new landmark, the Twin Towers, is like two sails, braving the wind and waves on the sea surface of Xiamen, making this city with the reputation of "sea garden" more attractive, such as Penglai embedded in the secular world. What is commendable is that she has a spirit of pursuing perfection, constantly shaping herself, enriching herself and surpassing herself, so that people who see her again will have unexpected surprises every time.

The old courtyard of fishing village is a cultural tourism industry costume that Xiamen has just put on in recent two years, and it is also a masterpiece of Minnan culture. The most colorful is the super-large soul work "The Legend of Southern Fujian" performance show, the indoor 36-degree real-life stage and the 36-degree rotating walking wheel auditorium, which is the international leading level. It condensed the thousand-year history of southern Fujian with six acts of stories, such as "Heaven-made Ludao Island", "Island City War", "Nanyang Adventure", "Fishing Village People's Family, Descendants of Dragons" and "Blessing China". The high-tech indoor landscape scene made people feel as if they had traveled through time and space and visited its territory in person.

A tourist attraction must have its own cultural and historical figures. When you hear the sound of guns rumbling on the stage of the performing arts show, you can't help but think of the national heroes Zheng Chenggong and Chen Huacheng, who have long been heroic and have inspired future generations. When we saw the scene of overseas Chinese returning to their hometown in Nanyang, we couldn't help but admire Chen Jiageng, a patriotic overseas Chinese who invested in running a school and benefited future generations. The old courtyard of the fishing village perfectly combines high-tech fashionable and modern elements with local historical and cultural symbols in southern Fujian, where the ancient and the modern intersect, but it is completely drunk. While admiring Xiamen people's avant-garde tourism culture concept and advanced business consciousness, we can't help but recall the rock rhyme and fragrance of that cup of Tianfu Dahongpao in the post station on the way.

revisiting an old place is inevitably entangled in a nostalgic feeling, just like when two old friends meet, they will turn to reminiscence after greeting each other. Curiously, there is always a place that can be entrusted with that nostalgia just right, and Zhongshan Road Commercial Street is a place that is particularly suitable for nostalgia. This commercial street leads directly to the sea, which is unique in China. Now it has become a "famous historical and cultural street in China", and it is the oldest characteristic label in Xiamen. As night falls, it shines brightly. Xiamen's history and humanity, its prosperity and wealth, and its rhythm of the times are scattered all over the streets.

Walking in this busy old commercial street, enjoying the colorful night scene, it is easy to forget its' s, only a century-old Nanyang style arcade building, reminding passers-by from time to time. A dazzling array of Fujian-Taiwan snacks, saturated with a strong Fujian-Taiwan flavor, echoed in the old southern sound between the alleys and neighborhoods, so that every tourist can clearly know where he has arrived. Every corner here hides the story of years. A classic and exquisite "Miss Zhao's shop" integrates petty bourgeoisie, romance and nostalgia, and is completely isolated from the noise of the outside market. It has quietly placed me in an old tea affair, and has since become attached to the Ceylon lemon black tea in the shop.

If Xiamen is a gorgeous lady, then Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street is a flashing brooch on her skirt. The charm of Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street made me wander around and forget the original intention when I came. Sometimes it feels amazing. Obviously, I went for the lighting in the Great Hall of the People, but in the end I returned with the old courtyard of the fishing village, but I didn't see any regret on my face. Suddenly I understand that there is a kind of calmness called washing away lead China. Perhaps once a person has deepened the years, he will also fade his mood, which will naturally follow the fate. The state of watching flowers bloom and falling, and enjoying clouds and clouds leisurely, should be a precious gift given back to people when time goes by.

When we meet again after such a long separation, when we think that time is far away and some prosperity will turn into a background, in fact, the story of Xiamen has been going on all the time. She will always be an unfinished book. When I set out, I carried it on my back, and I only needed to pack vivid and interesting fragments into my bag along the way, and came back with more chapters. Please remember that there is such a beautiful city in the sea and a place where the sea exists in the south. Her name is Xiamen.
