In the past 20 years, I have traveled through some large and small cities and provincial capitals, such as Beijing, Kunming, Chengdu, Wuhan, Nanjing, Hefei, Fuzhou, Guangzhou and Nanning. Among these four cities, Chengdu, Kunming, Hefei and Fuzhou stayed for a long time, and Fuzhou studied there for nearly three years. However, it is incredible that among these cities, I can't get or find a city that can moisten and edify my body and mind like Chongqing, the "foggy city" and "mountain city" in others' eyes: the comfort and calmness in my bones, the feelings and sentiment of "enjoying" life, which are lacking in other cities with the same quality and volume.
Therefore, I praise Chongqing, appreciate and love this magical land. I have been in Chongqing for more than four months. Today, more than four months later, I wrote down my first experience of "her" in words, so as to hate my "seeing you later"!
First, the first experience of Chongqing-rain.
The rain in Chongqing really left me with a very profound and embarrassing experience. The rain in Chongqing comes frequently, without warning and unexpectedly. When it rains, it is difficult to stop for two days, sometimes as long as a week or half a month. The rain all over the sky, such as ox hair and fine needles, permeates every corner inside and outside the city.
In the streets of the city, it begins to get wet as soon as it rains. Some places will have small puddles, large and small. Half a pair of shoes got wet as soon as they went up. Several times, I went out to be a tutor, and my shoes dried up as soon as I got out of the dormitory. When I came back from tutoring, my shoes and socks were soaked. In the rainy season in Chongqing, my heart is as cold as my feet that have been wearing wet and cold socks all morning.
Besides traveling, there is also drying clothes. The rain in Chongqing is secret and frequent, and clothes are difficult to dry. Fortunately, there are always more methods than problems, and I am getting used to it.
Later I bought a pair of Martin boots, which I wore for the first time in my life. This "first time" was dedicated to Chongqing. Therefore, I am no longer bored and afraid of rain.
Actually, I like Rain in general. My family and friends call me "Rain God", because whenever I go to a new place, no matter how clear the sky was the day before yesterday, it will always rain. Rain seems to be my passport. I really like the rain and enjoy it! This rain gave me wings of thought and moistened me with the sweetness and lightness like manna. Therefore, my soul is full of self-evident joy and emotion.
Second, the first experience of Chongqing-Chongqing dialect.
Chongqing dialect is really a magical dialect with irresistible joy and enthusiasm in its bones.
"Come on, have breakfast!" , "yes"! , "Yao Er" and "burnt out". These words are often heard in life. There is also a favorable reply: "I understand." Some people in Sichuan and Chongqing, like my counselor and teacher, will keep repeating until they become "understood!" All these have brought me full of joy, enthusiasm and a sense of home.
Every time I go downstairs to buy breakfast at seven o'clock, the boss of a breakfast stall will say, "What are you eating?" I will answer with a smile: a cup of pumpkin porridge and a barbecue! "。 Wife of shop-owner, will ask: Anything else? After I shook my head, she chased a sentence: Intubation?
At this time, I will respond in Sichuan and Chongqing dialect: "Yes!" At this point, the couple who sell breakfast can't help grinning, smiling purely without affectation. This is the warm feeling given to me by the Sichuan-Chongqing dialect and the enthusiasm and simplicity of the Sichuan-Chongqing people.
I cherish and collect the warmth and touch left by the streets and lanes in Chongqing. I think this is the warmth of this city. What it shows foreigners is not indifference and distance, but closeness, tolerance and acceptance.
Sichuan-Chongqing dialect is the softest and hottest in my first experience in Chongqing. I like listening to and learning Sichuan-Chongqing dialect. These words are full of sincere enthusiasm and kindness and sympathy for life.
Third, the first experience of Chongqing-Chongqing's mountains
Chongqing, also known as "Mountain City", shows that the mountains in Chongqing have left an extraordinary impression on China people. That's true! The mountains in Chongqing are overlapping, layer by layer, which is very layered. In fact, not only serious mountains, but also hills or ordinary streets and road sections in Chongqing are scattered and layered. Thus, there is the classic rhetoric: "You think you are at the bottom, but in fact you are at the top; You think you are on the top floor, but you are on the first floor! "
The peculiar rise of the terrain, as well as the majestic basins and peaks, give people the most obvious externalization characteristics of "mountain city". In September this year, I came to Chongqing, a "mountain city". When the plane descended lower and lower until it wandered between those mountains, my eyes earned a lot and I looked at this mountainous place curiously. The lights scattered all over the mountains, each one looks like the word "welcome". Yes, I will spend the most important time of my life here. It could be a lifetime.
Mountains, in the final analysis, have endless charm! I like climbing mountains since I was a child, and I have to climb to the top. I always feel a little unhappy if I don't reach the top. Mountain climbing is really interesting.
Climbing the mountain is the first thing to do, but also climbing the mountain, climbing the mountain. Without this, it is not enough to appreciate the wonderful and magnificent interest in the climbing process. Climbing to the top of the mountain, overlooking all directions, and seeing the surrounding scenery crawling under your feet is really unparalleled. "The mountain is the peak" is the energy of this kind of happiness.
Chongqing is mountainous. So far, I have climbed Gele Mountain, Zhaomu Mountain, Nanshan and other places, and there are still some unknown peaks waiting for me to set foot on, so I am naturally full of expectations. The mountains in Chongqing and the climbing in Chongqing will also be my wonderful experience when I first came to Chongqing.
Fourth, Chongqing's first experience-Chongqing's hot pot
Chongqing is famous for its hot pot. Streets and alleys, at first glance, within sight, all kinds of hot pot restaurants can be seen everywhere. The plaques of these hot pot restaurants are also particularly antique, mostly black wooden plaques with several vigorous and powerful "scarlet letters" as their unique store names. "Chongqing Old Hotpot", "Chongqing Mala Tang" and so on, the names of brands are numerous.
Although the brands are different and the services are different, the smell of hot pot that wafts out and permeates the city is so consistent, pointing to "fragrance" and "alcohol" and a resounding "living business card" in Chongqing!
I don't like hot pot very much. Maybe not once a month. Occasionally, I eat with my classmates and fish in the clear soup pot. Once, I ventured to challenge the "medium spicy" degree of hot pot. Sure enough, after eating a few mouthfuls, my lips and tongue all went on strike, so I had to take a few mouthfuls of cold bayberry juice in a hurry so that I could have some spicy food and start over.
Eating hot pot for a long time is also addictive. However, after all, you shouldn't eat too often. A greasy diet is always bad for your health. Although I can't eat much hot pot, I'm not particularly cold about hot pot, but I like to smell the smell of hot pot in the streets. At this time, the smell and taste can't remind me of the desire to eat hot pot, but it reminds me of my family, happiness, the little warmth and touch in ordinary days. It is the fireworks of a busy day and the most primitive feeling of life.
Before, one of my teachers and colleagues struggled for several days to grade the papers in Band 4. At the end of the day's work, they didn't eat anything else, but went to eat hot pot together. In the eyes of Chongqing people, I really should say that nothing can't be solved by a hot pot. If one meal doesn't work, then two meals. This also shows the status of hot pot in the eyes of Chongqing people.
Hot pot is really romantic on a dull day. I will be so romantic in the future. Perhaps, it will make my Chongqing experience more real and grounded. Because, in the hot pot, there is a love for life and a belief in life.
Fifth, the first experience of Chongqing-light rail sightseeing.
What surprised me most when I came to Chongqing was the light rail running on the elevated platform, that is, the subway with a view. Before, in my impression and understanding, most subways should run underground, except Kunming, where I have been before, and some stations run above ground. However, Kunming subway is still dwarfed by Chongqing. The beauty and charm of Chongqing subway lies in the wonder of running on the ground and on the bridge.
Previously, Tik Tok or various short videos that tourists punched in had a magical shot of Chongqing Metro Line 2: the light rail passed through an ordinary building that was "hollowed out". Before I came to Chongqing, I was full of yearning and moving, just like the "Hongyadong" that I yearned to show in my circle of friends in Chongqing.
When you come to Chongqing, you still rarely have the opportunity to take the subway line 2 and experience the wonderful scenery for yourself. However, taking other subway lines in Chongqing really gave me a lot of different experiences.
Due to the geographical location of the school, I usually take subway line 3 when I go out, followed by subway line 1. Most of the time, it is to switch between these two lines, and the outer ring and the inner ring are used at most.
I can't stop my eyes every time I take the subway. I always like to look around. Yes, if you really want to be "weird", don't blame your eyes. If you want to be "weird", you have to be "weird" about Chongqing's majestic terrain, strange buildings and various scenery along the river.
Starting from the seven kilometers where the school is located, you can get on Line 3, and there are various high and low buildings not far away. Then we arrived at the interchange station "Two Crossroads" of Line 3 and Line 1, and we could enjoy the fog of the Yangtze River all the way. This section of the Yangtze River in Chongqing is very different from what I saw in Wuhan. The Yangtze River in Wuhan is a bit of a "sea" charm, with a particularly broad vision and vigorous strength; What about the Yangtze River in Chongqing?
Naturally, its look and feel is completely different. Chongqing is subject to the topography of mountains and basins, overlooking the Yangtze River, which always gives people a feeling of "narrowness", although its width is not much wider than that of the Yangtze River section in Wuhan. However, even so, watching the Yangtze River on the light rail can give you a sense of grandeur.
Of course, the ground scenery of the light rail is not only the buildings and the Yangtze River, but also the night view of Chongqing seen on the light rail.
The night view of Chongqing is colorful. Because of many bridges and undulating terrain, there is a dreamy feeling in the night. This dreamy feeling is even more exciting with the help of Chongqing light rail line.
Traveling at night in Chongqing by light rail line is a great experience in itself. Naturally, it benefits from the topography of Chongqing and the Chongqing rail transit designed according to local conditions. The experience of this beautiful place in Chongqing is naturally brought to me by light rail.
Every time after class, when I see the light rail line 3 flying by the school gate of Jiaotong University, I will always be amazed at the roughness and grandeur of the city again and again. Yes, the Chongqing rail transit that runs all over the ground, how much romance you have contracted for this city!
Sixth, the first experience of Chongqing-the "romance" in Chongqing people's bones
These days, it is the middle of winter. When I go back and forth as a tutor, I always find an interesting phenomenon: women in this city, old and young, will fold a few wintersweet in twos and threes, or simply buy a bundle of wintersweet, hold it in their hands, or put it in a handbag. I often see such scenes these days, and watching them makes me respect and appreciate them.
How many feelings and pursuits, feelings and hopes for a better life make them yearn for a place that blooms in spring even in severe winter? Perhaps, this is the romance in Sichuan and Chongqing people's bones, and it is their taste and cherish of life. People under this attitude of life have disdained the debate about whether they will enjoy life, and have completely turned into a confident and calm declaration and display of a leisurely and quiet life realm.
"The sun rises and sets in the west, and romance never dies." I admire such a lovely group of people, and I appreciate the life atmosphere in the bones of Sichuan and Chongqing people. In my hometown of Fujian, everyone gets up early and is greedy for the dark, and is busy day and night. Women of the same age in their hometown may be difficult and incomprehensible. I often meet this lively scene in the street!
This gave me a heavy and beautiful first experience about Chongqing. This first experience has gone beyond perception and reached my heart. They, together with wintersweet in their hands, always remind me over and over again that no matter how hard life is, we should pursue and yearn for beauty and truth, cultivate and protect hope, and move forward without slacking off or complaining. Even if, on the way forward, karma is always one person, and in the end, you are the only one!
Chongqing's first experience, more than that? My body, mind and soul are full of different and wonderful first experiences brought by Chongqing. At that time, how could I make myself clear? Anyway, words are always weak, so I won't write them. Just wait for the years, then go to another spring, summer, autumn and winter!
