Dream of a Famous City
Next to the East and West Towers, in front of the Hundred Pillars Hall.
Tomorrow, here.
Right here. He wrote in the letter: Look at the twin towers in the sky and listen to the wind chimes on the eaves.
Pursuing the dream lost 40 years ago?
That day, he was going to Citong Port, taking a Citong boat, walking on the rolling waves, crossing the vast sea, and going to Nanyang to find the golden dream.
I persuaded him again: "Are you leaving the famous city where you were born and raised like this?"
"Famous city! Famous city?" He almost shouted. "Come with me to see how many broken wooden boats there are now in Citon Port, which was once the largest port in the world! Since the Tang and Song Dynasties, how many Citon boats with high sails have been sailing along the Maritime Silk Road , transfused our Eastern civilization to the other side of the ocean, but now it’s the laborers who are transported!”
There are still 3 hours left before leaving the ship. He was not in a hurry to catch the two-hour journey, but instead turned towards Kaiyuan Temple in the northwest corner of the city, lit a stick of incense and stood in a daze in the worship court under the shadow of the ancient banyan tree. In front of the deep and wide hall, many good men and women kneeling to pray for peace. But he looked left and right, looking up at the two stone towers with more than a thousand annual rings on the east and west sides, and murmured to himself along with the melancholy ringing of the eaves: I won’t come back, I won’t come back...
He left, taking heavy steps, stepping on the broken street stones, and disappeared among the pedestrians in the shape of a dove...
I don’t believe that he will not come back, just because of his symbolism of the ancient city This last look at the East-West Tower! When a new trend surges into the ancient port of Citong, and when the famous city of Quanzhou regains its spring breeze, his smiling face will appear under the twin towers. Ancient city - I silently pray to the twin towers - to recast the glory of your prosperous Tang Dynasty, recreate the prosperity of Song and Yuan Dynasties, and call back thousands of wanderers who have left you!
So, when New China emerged from the east, the ancient city enjoyed the east wind and flourished with new features; when the tide of reform and opening up swept across China, and the Maritime Silk Road regained its glory, I kept talking about this city, this city People, this sea, this port, this mountain, this field, this road...
I don't know where his house is. In the past 40 years, he has not sent swan geese to settle in the ancient city. However, I believe that whether he is on the other side of the strait, or on the Philippine island where bananas are blowing, or in Europe and America where the sun sets... he can hear the changes in the ancient city told by the wind chimes on the majestic east and west towers that whisper to themselves day and night; He could see the wind and rafters racing along the Maritime Silk Road, and the ancient city of Citong New Port, where merchants from all over the world came one after another. Sooner or later, I will recognize him in the crowd of tearful overseas wanderers returning home, even if he is already my childhood friend with frost-covered temples!
My hunch was correct. He is finally returning to his homeland. A few days ago, an urgent express arrived at my home from the Philippines: the flight ticket has been booked and it will arrive in the ancient city tomorrow. The letter that traveled across the ocean read——
Only when you set foot in a foreign country do you realize the weight of the ancient country and the famous city in your heart. The famous city is full of beauty and beauty, and the excellent culture it has nurtured has been molded into my body since I was a child. Endless corners of the world, spring flowers and autumn moon, endless dreams of famous cities. The famous city has a splendid history, which was created by the efforts of our ancestors. I am returning today, bringing with me some small surplus capital to build schools, promote the awareness of famous cities, and build a new famous city.
Oh, a famous city! East-West Tower! Tomorrow, here, another wanderer who has left his country will fall into your arms and pour out his heartfelt voices to you, ringing with the bell...
