Fresh memory
1994 August 15, I flew from Moscow to Stockholm by Scandinavian Airlines, which was my first time to set foot on the land of northern Europe. It is often said that the five Nordic countries include Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Iceland and Finland, among which the languages and cultures of the first four countries are quite close; Finland is similar to Estonia and Hungary in language and is outside the Indo-European language family, so it is regarded as an alternative in the Nordic countries. Nordic people are particularly sensitive to seasonal changes, which is no wonder, because the long winter is not only ice and snow, but also the short day is annoying. Fortunately, my first visit to northern Europe was in the best summer of the year. My first stop was Stockholm, the beautiful Swedish capital and the northern water city.
The plane arrived at six or seven, but it was still early. Quickly complete the entry formalities in Sweden. When we wheeled the luggage cart out of Arada Airport, our first impression was that the environment was extremely clean and the air was extremely fresh. Perhaps this has something to do with coming from relatively shabby Russia, but today, after many years in developed countries, I still clearly remember the first impression Sweden gave me, that is, unparalleled cleanliness and freshness. Cars are speeding on the expressway from the airport to the urban area, and the roadside is patchwork field scenery. It's golden here and green there. From time to time, commuters or long-distance trains are seen gracefully passing through the ups and downs of Yuan Ye. But on my first day in Sweden, I haven't seen the biggest feature of this famous northern city, that is, the rivers and bays that run through the city. Fortunately, the next day, I took a sightseeing yacht and saw the beautiful scenery of this northern water city.
Stockholm was originally a city floating on the sea. It is said that the whole city is made up of eight or nine big islands, with small islands scattered all over the rugged coastline. These days, the sky is clear, which is the best tourist season in the whole year. Tourists from all over the world are blowing fresh sea breeze, and they are full of praise for the beautiful scenery of the sea and the sky and the city in the water. The tour guide is a strong local girl. She introduced the scenic spots along the way in fluent and standard English. Later, after comparison, I found that the Nordic people speak English really idiomatically, especially compared with France and Southeast Europe. Later, I understood the truth. First, their mother tongue, Otawa English, belongs to the Germanic language family. Second, the pace of European integration has swept through northwest Europe at least at the cultural level, and there is effective education. Speaking of Swedish girls, this is a country rich in western beauties, from the early movie star Garbo to the contemporary pop singers who are popular all over the world. Today, I saw the picturesque scenery here, as if I had an epiphany: there is a saying that one side of the soil and water can support one side. Coupled with the Swedish musical talent, although the official language of this country is not English, it has produced many famous British pop bands in the west. Sweden's industrial base is also very strong, and a large number of well-known multinational enterprises have gone from Sweden to the world, which has also established the country's leading position in the region.
Sweden, with outstanding people and outstanding talents, all major cities are built on water, and Stockholm can be regarded as the representative work of similar water cities in the world. In fact, it's not just cities near the sea that need water. After traveling around the world, I have come to the conclusion that all historical and cultural cities can be nourished by natural rivers, such as Paris with the Seine River. It can be an artificial canal, such as Moscow and Amsterdam; It can also be a natural or artificial lake, such as Great Berlin, the new capital of Germany today. Of course, there are countless famous coastal cities. With water, the whole city is as aura and vitality as people have eyes. The historical names of our country are no exception. Many beautiful cities have appeared on both sides of the Jiangnan water town and the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal. Unfortunately, in modern times, with the gradual disappearance of rivers, they no longer prosper. Thinking of this, I really hope that we can also enjoy the cities with beautiful rivers and lakes such as Hangzhou, Suzhou, Wuhan and Yueyang, the spring city of Jinan in the north, or the famous cities with artificial lakes dug by our ancestors, so that we can cherish the spirit and source of life of this city and let one side live forever.
