I. As a Jiangsu native who had never been to Nanjing before the age of 18, it may sound a bit ridiculous to those of you in the provinces. But it's a bit closer to Shanghai from my home, so I've always had the impression that the big city is nothing more than Shanghai's upright city line and Beijing's wide view of the Third Ring Road.
And I have no impression of Nanjing, my only impression probably comes from a newspaper one year with a report on the pandas at the Red Mountain Zoo.
Two, Nanjing is next to Shanghai, Hangzhou and Suzhou. These four cities have different flavors. People are creatures with a sense of belonging, and it's hard to hear any locals in these cities say it's bad. In comparison, Nanjing has a thicker, or rather, heavier history than Shanghai or Hangzhou. This specific history makes Nanjing from all corners, are invisible through a sense of oppression. In addition to the Memorial Hall and Yuhuatai, such as the Jinling Manufacturing Bureau, Pukou Railway Station, Xuanwu Lake next to the Taicheng, everywhere exudes the aftermath of history.
Three, Nanjing's campuses are spread throughout the city. From Xianlin to Jiangning, from Gulou to Pukou, there are pieces and pieces of university campuses everywhere.
The most famous is the Southeast University four pailou campus, in the late fall of last year, and friends have been there once, the entire campus is dyed a pale golden color. It is a kind of golden yellow that belongs to late autumn, precipitated by a hundred years of heavy history and cultural flavor. Under the sky-high French sycamores, the front wheels of bicycles pressed through the scattered and messy fallen leaves. On a wooden bench, a boy holds a guitar in his hand and a girl wears a goose-yellow halter top.
The South China Sea is more or less envious and jealous of the Four Courts of Justice. The four-paneled building of the old generation of Nanda and Southeast people, like the unnamed lake of Peking University, is the eternal faith in the heart.
From the four card tower out, just through a few streets, is the Nanjing University Gulou campus, once the site of Jinling University. When I first came to the North Building, I couldn't quite understand the significance of the green bricks covered with lush creepers. Later, I saw those photos of the graduates of NTU with the North Building clear behind them. I probably understood. Everyone's college needs a building that can hold memories. I often complained about my major, but at this time, I was born with a sense of responsibility and sense of mission.
There are also Gulou Campus of Hohai University and Suiyuan Campus of Nanjing Normal University. Most of the universities in Nanjing have new campuses in Xianlin, Jiangning or Pukou. Most of them are very big and new, but, as someone said, lack the flavor of the university, the lack of university teachers and students meet the sense of space interlacing. If you have the opportunity to study for a year or two in the various old campuses of Gulou, it must be quite happy.
