——Lao She and Beijing

(Candidate No. [-] in Beijing)

I saw Xiangzi fiddling with the foreign car in his hand, planning to buy a car in his mind, and talking about his little Jiujiu in his mouth. The black-painted body and shiny tile rings of the old Beijing foreign car beside him were shining; I saw Wang Shunfa busy cleaning it. Greet guests with tea bowls placed on the table, holding a big old Beijing teapot in his hand, spouting water mist slowly; I saw the pomegranates are red beside the clear water ridge in the main house of the Qi family, and the old Beijing rabbit master held his head high on the Eight Immortals table in the courtyard , the old lady smiled and nodded; I saw Sha Zilong looking directly at the disciples without saying a word, and said in my heart: "Don't pass it on! Don't pass it on!" In front of the hall, the long gun of the escort bureau of the old Beijing stood quietly in the corner, echoing the owner...

Reading Mr. Lao She's book seems to be led by the characters in the book, visiting the streets of Beijing, breathing the atmosphere of Beijing, appreciating the colors of Beijing, listening to the rhythm of Beijing, feeling the mood of Beijing... Mr. Lao She's works are the essence of old Beijing. symbol!
Those are the bits and pieces of old Beijing.It is like a piece of Jinghu string language, with agitation and sonority, and a long aftertaste; like a pot of jasmine tea, it is rich and fragrant, with endless aftertaste.

I can't forget Mr. Lao She's taste of Beijing food - "The plump chestnuts in Liangxiang are fried in a pot with sugar, and even the tea smoke under the pot is fragrant", "Sorghum red river crab, with They are packed in bamboo baskets and peddled loudly along the street; and those who can enjoy themselves will use a small wooden hammer to gently crack the fluffy crab legs in restaurants"——only old Beijing can have such an attractive flavor ; Only Mr. Lao She can appreciate such emotion and vividness!

Although Mr. Lao She was originally from Shandong, he was born and raised in Beijing, and he loves Beijing very much.He loves everything in old Beijing, just like the New Year pictures posted in the old calendar years: festive, childish, yet without losing the atmosphere of a king; meticulous, exquisite, and conveying the atmosphere of culture.Mr. Lao She used his own pen, his own heart, and his incomparable love for Beijing to describe a real and ideal Beijing, a realistic and poetic Beijing.Therefore, Mr. Lao She's words and Mr. Lao She's name have become the symbol of Beijing and the symbol of Beijing.

Mr. Lao She has been abroad and stayed abroad. He naturally understands that the times will eventually promote "old Beijing" to "new Beijing". This is a complex emotion intertwined with joy and sadness.This emotion is also often revealed in his works. —— Ruixuan, the protagonist of "Four Generations Under One Roof", likes to visit Bamiancao, Dashilan, and Liulichang, but he also sighs that "in the near future, these shops will disappear."Because of this, Mr. Lao She worked hard to create the language and image of New Beijing and the symbols of New Beijing on the stage of Beijing in the new era.

Therefore, as the discoverer, lover and creator of Beijing symbols, Mr. Lao She has also become an eternal monument in the history and reality of Beijing, and in the eyes and hearts of Beijingers.

When I was young, when I was playing at home, I heard the cry of selling candied haws, so I pestered my mother to buy them.Sometimes I secretly followed the candied haws sellers around the streets—not for the candied haws, but for the melodious shouts.

There is an old Beijinger who often comes to my door to sell candied haws.According to him, his grandfather sold candied haws during the Qing Dynasty; therefore, his candied haws are absolutely authentic.It is impossible to verify whether this is the case, but his melodious yelling made me believe it.At that time, I was still young, and I didn’t know what was authentic or not. The only criterion for judging was who sang well——I bought whoever sang well.So, I became familiar with this old Beijing.

During those days, as long as he passed by my door, he would be followed by a five-year-old child who was shouting loudly with him.The old Beijing liked me very much, and would give me a bunch of candied haws as a reward every day before closing the stall.Once, he touched my head and said: "What a good boy! If he becomes a candied haws seller in the future, he will be ruined!" I didn't understand the meaning of these words when I was young, so I looked at him seriously and said: "I'll definitely do this tomorrow." Old Beijing smiled and said nothing.

15 years later, I'm a 20-year-old lad.The old Beijing who sold candied haws will never be seen again.Every day I am busy with the future of my life. My ideal is to be a white-collar worker in the future, and I never want to sell candied haws when I was a child.The melodious yelling sound was completely forgotten as the times changed.

Finally, at a temple fair during the Spring Festival, among the bustling crowd, I saw that strange but familiar figure again.Although 15 years have passed, the appearance of old Beijing has not changed.I ran up to say hello to him, and gestured to him the kid from 15 years ago.He looked at me in surprise, then smiled kindly, as if he had discovered an old dream.He handed me a bunch of candied haws. "Pay your salary in advance, and yell at me like you used to." I seemed to have found my childhood again, and then, I suddenly found that I couldn't open my mouth no matter what, and stood there for a long time.That's embarrassing, I'm already a 20-year-old youth...

Old Beijing smiled and said, "Scared? I knew it. It's still the same sentence, 'What a good boy! If he really becomes a candied haws seller in the future, he will be ruined!'" Then, he yelled away alone.

"Sugar-coated haws……"

"Gourd - ice - sugar..."

That melodious yelling sound entered my mind melodiously, like a ray of remnant dreams - the depths of the alley, the courtyard, the gate - the child - the mother...

A wave of heat hit my heart, and finally I let go of everything and opened my throat——

"Ice-sugar-gourd... gourd-ice-sugar..."

Yelling, the symbol of old Beijing, has the honest flavor of old Beijing.Times have changed, but the song-like shouts of Beijing have drifted forward through the years, and will always drift towards 2008... By that time, let friends from all over the world come to listen to the authentic shouts and taste the intoxicating Beijing rhyme— —

"Sugar-coated haws……"

"Gourd - ice - sugar..."

The rain in Suzhou is soft, the rain in Chengdu is soft, and the rain in Beijing is light and heavy.

The rain hits the bluestone slabs of Chengxian Street, the green cypresses of the Imperial College, and the fluttering Confucian scarf and Confucian sleeves of Confucius who is smiling and bowing; .

Walking in the rain, there is no need to hold an umbrella, the raindrops fall from the shy white Sophora japonica flowers above the head, as if the teacher's earnest teachings, soaked into the heart.And you are like walking back to ancient times, walking into the Gongyuan where reading is loud, and touching the inscriptions on the stone tablet that has gone through a long period of time.

Rain, Sophora japonica, ancient cypresses, stone carvings, statues of Confucius, and Imperial College, these may be the symbols of Beijing, but behind them is the delicate fragrance of books.

The wind in the south of the Lingnan is sultry and hot, the wind in the northern part of the country is bitter, and the wind in Beijing is warm and refreshing.

The wind ruffles a pool of blue autumn water in Kunming Lake, the wind blows away the fiery reed flowers beside the Lugou Bridge, and the wind blows the small copper bells on the eaves of the Drum Tower; thus, even the wind has a gentle smile.

Walking in the wind, you might as well laugh with kind people.Pull up a paper sand swallow kite and let it take you to fly in the clear sky of Beijing, and let the old man’s ingenuity of the kite fly together; in the Kunyu River, it may be a little regretful not to hear the ancient and long cry, But does the hearty and pleasant "Beijing Movies" that fill your ears make you feel a little bit of the charm of Peking Opera?In the slightly drunken wind, you can hear the soft Jinghu sound at the entrance of the alley, the sun shining on the slightly green screen wall, and the pigeon whistle resounding in the clear sky, can you not be intoxicated?
Kite, Jingyiner, Hutonger, Peking Opera, these may be the symbols of Beijing, but behind them are the thick folk customs.

The snow in the Western Regions is desolate, the snow in the Central Plains is heavy, and the snow in Beijing is as thick as a thousand years of history.

The snow fell on the broken walls of the ruins of Yuan Dadu, the snow fell on the golden tiles and red walls of the Forbidden City, and the snow fell on the white marble watches that commemorate the rise and fall of honor and disgrace; the snow also fell on the newly completed and solemn Capital Museum. On the Olympic venue "Bird's Nest" that embraces the world under construction.

Snowflakes are falling on the body, the left hand is the ancient observatory, the right hand is the modern Chang'an Street; In the future, there are countless brilliant visions.The hands of Beijingers are heavy yet light, and what is carried in their hearts is the responsibility of the people in the capital!
The Forbidden City, the White Tower, the Millennium Monument, and Chang'an Avenue, these may be the symbols of Beijing, but behind them are the hearts of Beijingers who carry responsibility and history!Home is in Beijing, heart is in Beijing, keeping the symbols of history and creating symbols of the future is exactly the wish of every Beijinger.

In the quiet courtyard, there is a tall pagoda tree in the courtyard, which is the symbol of Beijing. My childhood memory is now reappearing in front of my eyes.

The courtyard in the past was like a grid, looking up, maybe it was because it was too small at that time?I can only see the sky at the four corners, which is blue. I often lie down by the well and look up at the clouds.At this time, grandma will come out of the house and tell me to be careful not to fall into the well.The well is my paradise, clumps of grass protrude tenderly from the cracks in the bluestone bricks, I often lie there with my friends and listen to various sounds, the sound of the well water, the sound of chirping insects, exquisite and sweet Any music is good.There is a tall pagoda tree in grandma’s courtyard. Grandma often puts a rocking chair under the pagoda tree and lies there reading a book or taking a nap.I think it must be very pleasant to lie on the rocking chair and fall asleep slowly, because I can see the smile on my grandma's face every time.Thinking about it now, maybe we are with her?

Grandma's five main houses are very simple, like a secluded orchid in this city full of tall buildings.The quiet gray eaves, once upon a time, a wind chime was hung on the corner of the eaves, the wind chimes tinkled when the breeze blew, it seemed to wake up the people who were running around, there is still a quiet place here.Grandma's furniture is all made of mahogany, and the aroma of the wood brings peace and serenity, with an ancient charm.Grandma said that she didn't know how long this courtyard house had existed. She said that she had lived here as long as she could remember. When she talked about the courtyard house, her expression was serene.

I still remember closing the red-painted gate of the courtyard in the evening, as if shutting out the hard work and busyness of the day from the noisy world outside, and in the courtyard, three generations of people, old and young, shared a family relationship, peaceful and comfortable.I like to look at the stars in the yard, see the slight yellowish color on the Xuanqing barrier, where there are the most beautiful matching patterns, then I lower my head to pick up the apple peeled by my grandma, take a big bite, and my mouth is sour Sweet, that was the happiest moment.

How long has it been since you saw the stars?The hustle and bustle of the big city seems to have drowned the tranquility in the courtyard. Walking out of the gate of the courtyard, you walk into a world full of colorful neon lights. With the demolition of the courtyard house, it became more and more anxious.However, I am also relieved that tranquility and peace are an essential element in people's lives, and it will not disappear. With the rise of high-rise buildings in Beijing, courtyard houses are also rising again.It watched quietly in a corner of the city, like the smiling face of a grandma when she was a child, like an elder lovingly guarding a young child.

As Beijing is developing, so are courtyard houses.On weekends, we often see groups of people gathering on the streets full of courtyard houses, buying a cup of tea and drinking a bottle of cold drink.It makes people feel that life is colorful, and Beijing City is a community that blends modernity and classics.It's not all busy, and it's not all easy.
