Huangshui town is about 1500 meters above sea level, there is no air conditioning in summer, no fans and no mosquitoes, it is indeed a summer resort!
The temperature difference between morning and evening here is about 15 degrees Celsius, so wear long-sleeved T-shirts and seven pants in the morning and evening, and short-sleeved or skirts during the day. In the daytime, the sun is straight, part of the people afraid of the sun will hide in the hotel. By dusk, the sun sets, the power of the sun diminishes, and people come out of their rooms in twos and threes to the street.
It's really about the people after dusk! At the beginning of the scattered points of people, gradually, converge into a stream of a stream of small streams. These streams flow along different streets to two places, one is the Yellow Water Theater Square, a folk village square. These two squares are the sea, accommodating this on the white strip of small streams!
Oh! I also missed a place, the town hall square.
The resident population of Huangshui Township is only about 10,000 people. Because of the summer vacation, the surging crowds of people into the town streets are crowded. The core strength of this summer vacation is 50 to 70 years old retired women and men. Some of them come by themselves with their partners and a group of good friends, while some of them drag their kindergarten grandchildren along with them. Most of them come from Chongqing and Sichuan. But on weekends, the crowd is full of young faces that disappear on Monday mornings!
Nighttime pastimes include square dancing, hi-jinx, ballroom dancing, and free open-air concerts!
Square dancing is concentrated in the Huangshui Theater Square and Folk Village Square, and it's hard to see who's leading the dance, but there are hundreds and hundreds of people dancing to the deafening sound of the music, stepping on the thumping drums that vibrate to their hearts, and waving their sleeves and dancing. In the setting sun, in the afterglow of the evening sun, under the high hanging bright moon, self-indulgent ......
Hi song, occupying the small dam in front of the octagonal pavilion of the folk village. A folk self-organized "Migratory Bird Choir" with their enthusiasm, night after night here to ignite the singing of more than a hundred people. The choir consists of a conductor, a dozen accompanying musicians and a dozen singers. There were violins, electronic organs, flutes, erhu and so on, they played music and the singers sang, all of them old songs from the 50's and 60's, which aroused the ****ing of the people. So the impassioned people surrounded the band and the singers in three layers and joined them in the chorus. So many songs I have not heard, but from the people's eyes that bubbled with light, that tearing voice, I understood that they are with their lives in this night and night song!
Cotillion in the town hall square. At the beginning of the lights, the fellowship dance began. Don't look at the market those hobbling old men and women, to the dance floor can be very different. Everyone is full of energy, gorgeous clothes, glowing with the second spring, jumping up the double dance, that flavor, tsk tsk tsk ...... young people are only expected to be born sigh which!
Open-air concerts, on both sides of the township government building, there are two small compounds. Hey! Two professional singing and dancing troupes occupy two courtyards respectively, singing every night. There are masses of people in advance with their own small stools, to occupy the first row of seats. The concerts start at 7:30 p.m. every night, and a few singers are invited from the cultural and labor corps. Singing is also the songs of the 1950s and 1960s, what "galloping horse", "Ovoo meeting", "we soldiers", cool wind with the bright moon, the audience's applause is quite warm. Last night I listened to a song "Shanghai Tang", this I listened in, the song of my childhood.
This ...... is the Yellow Water at night, where a wave of 50 to 70 year olds are releasing or searching for the passion within them! Life goes on, passion goes on!
