1900 10 On a starry night, a baby girl named Xie Wanying was born in a courtyard wrapped by a wind and fire wall in Longpuying, Wu Shishan, Fuzhou. She is China's contemporary grandmother of literature-Bing Xin. Bing Xin left her hometown and returned to Fuzhou seven months after her birth at the age of 1 1. She lived in the ancient courtyard (now the Xinhai Revolution Memorial Hall) at the junction of Nanhou Street and Yangqiao Lane (now Yangqiao Road), lived in the cultural circle of "three lanes and seven lanes" for nearly two years, and entered the preparatory class for female teachers in Fuzhou with the first place (the school is located in today's Hu Axiang kindergarten). After that, she studied, taught and wrote in Shandong, Beijing and even the other side of the ocean all her life, but she never forgot her hometown Fuzhou.
Bing Xin cares about the world's landscapes, flowers, trees and life with the heart of literature and the power of love, forming her unique and broad love. Her love for the world, the motherland and the people began with her love for her hometown and people around her. In her later years, Bing Xin wrote famous essays such as My Hometown, Scenery of Hometown, Hometown of Your Parents, and devoted her love for her hometown. On the occasion of Bing Xin's centenary birthday, we extract beautiful words describing his hometown from Bing Xin's works and give them to readers as a souvenir. (Don)
The most fit peasant woman in Fuzhou
..... They are fair-skinned, with three sharp silver hair clips on the left and right sides of their black hair. They are wearing blue underwear, barefoot, with their cuffs and trouser legs rolled up, carrying food baskets, buckets and all kinds of things that can be lifted with their shoulders. They are as fast as flying, fully emitting the style of liberating women! ..... In the following decades, I also met rural women in Japan, the United States, Britain, France and the Soviet Union, and felt that rural women in no country in the world could compare with the "three hairpin" in my hometown, far from being handsome, brave and dressed! -"Scenery of Hometown"
Wu Shishan's "Peach Blossom Plum Slices"
There are three other mountains in Fuzhou: Wushi Mountain, Yushan Mountain and Pingshan Mountain-I only remember going to Wushi Mountain, because there are two smooth big stones standing side by side on that mountain, which is very strange. People call it "peach-petal plum slices" because they are like a peach and a plum. These two strange stones left a deep impression on me. -"Scenery of Hometown"
