There are also several cities nicknamed "he cheng", namely Qiqihar City, Hebi City and Shangzhou District of Shangluo City. Qiqihar is famous, and Zhalong Nature Reserve, the hometown of red-crowned cranes, has the reputation of "the world's great wetland, the hometown of cranes in China". Dong Qichang in Ming Dynasty mentioned in "Painting Purpose" that "although he has learned something, he can read thousands of books and take Wan Li Road, which can get rid of the dust in his chest, so it is more important to read thousands of books and take Wan Li Road. Only by reflecting the book knowledge into the real world can you not regard "Goose City" as "he cheng" as your goal, which makes me feel ashamed to have received nine-year compulsory education.
It's not just me, it's fate. It may think that there is such an asshole who regards "Goose City" as "What City". In order to make me realize my ignorance without hurting my self-esteem, it turned into a friend and confused "Qiqihar, BBQ barbecue, not bad."
On April 26, 2022, it turned cloudy. On the platform of Hailar Railway Station, a tall young man was carrying a briefcase and a thick black backpack. The backpack is a little heavy, which makes the boy's figure slightly hunched, and his arched figure is even more lonely on the huge platform. The brim on his head is struggling with the howling northeast wind.
He is waiting for the 4 188 train from Benxi Steel to Qiqihar, which is a green leather train from far away.
Rusty yellow tracks, the calm and heavy 4 188 train came from dawn. It's only125km from Benxi Steel to Hailar, which is an hour and a half's journey. Because the snow of the previous day was full of mountains and rivers, it was abruptly delayed for 90 minutes. He was thinking that this shabby green leather train probably came to Hailar on foot-a light snow could not stop a young steel giant.
The train passed through the hinterland of Daxing 'anling and headed for Qiqihar, with a total distance of 507 kilometers and a stop at 19, which lasted for 8 hours 19 minutes. The train has 9 carriages, 3 hard sleepers and 6 hard seats. Stepping into the hard-seat carriage, the breath of the 1990 s came to my face. In just six hard-seat carriages, all kinds of things in the world are staged every day, representing the most real fireworks at the bottom of society.
The train stopped at Hailar for enough time and began to slide slowly. The Zhan hook between the car body and the car body collided with a loud "click" sound after tightening, which was the horn sound of the train about to start. On a cloudy day, a speeding train on the track always seems to be shuttling through the just visiting. There are already passengers in the carriage pouring cold beer heroically. The sound image of the bottle collision is the station clock. Every time I stop at the platform, the passengers who drink will go out and smoke. I recorded the true feelings of this state of life through the window in the gap of time.
The train passes through the tunnel, and the mountains outside the tunnel stretch for hundreds of miles. Qingshan seems to be wearing far away, and the water near it contains smoke. The sunset glow on the horizon is like a mole on the brow, shy and timid, and a little cute. The train staggered all the way through Zhalantun city on the eastern edge of the Daxinganling fold belt, and entered the Songnen Plain from the low hills. The biggest change outside the terrain is the climate. Qiqihar is in the late spring and early summer, and the spring breeze is swaying, gently brushing the car wall. Hundreds of meters away from both sides of the railway track, smoke curled up and scattered on rivers and lakes, adding more colors to the lush green of farmland and countryside.
People who have lived in the city for a long time always feel that life in the countryside is full of interest, and even hard farm work can find the best taste in the world.
The train crossed the railway bridge across Nenjiang River and continued to shake on the black soil of Ma Pingchuan. Not far ahead, the outline of He Cheng appeared. Passengers on the train will become my passers-by in ten minutes. These passers-by are messengers of life between cities. Wherever they go, travelers or those travelers travel all their lives.
