Have you ever remembered that in 2004, the whole factory relocation of the rolling traffic, bid farewell to the past, huazhong people began to write the phoenix nirvana like heroic poetry. Red dust rolling, all the way forward. Relocation of the army, although there is no exudes the third-line military workers, "dedication of youth, dedication of children and grandchildren," the feelings and sadness, but in their turn around the figure, clearly flowing child-like tears, and that reluctant to part with the deep affection of the eyes. This tears and gaze, treasured on the Yidu, a grass, a wood, a brick and a tile of the deep nostalgia, that lifetime for the country to bear, casting brilliant perseverance, that lifetime of military complexes long to look at each other ......
Yes, in the decades of hard work, selfless dedication to the youthful days, the old soldiers and engineers the How many ambitions and ideals, how much passion, how much sweet and sour, how much mission glory ah! Look, into the eyes of these dry barricade office buildings, simple family houses, children's schools, hospitals, stores, banks ...... and factory workshops, the scene reproduced, as if it happened yesterday.
Over the years, the retired old workers, or in the form of a collective team gathering or in twos and threes to the confluence of the Yangtze River and the Qingjiang River, they returned from the motherland of the east and west, north and south of the Yidu ravine that was once home, look at the dry barricades of the office building and the family room, listen to the Longtouquan spring water tinkling; recounting the three lines of the construction of the fast-acting day and night, taste the Chiyun Cave inside the thick fragrance of the wine. Then, take the car to the east, to Xiaogan City, full of joy to see the two-thirty-eight factory located in the Long March Road, and the new east of the city's new modern plant. More importantly, to the family area of the Long March Road, to the branch of the silk road of the military garden, to visit the brothers and sisters who are aging, that once the leadership, a group of workers, and that long years to move forward in the family and the country to bear.
The old soldiers living in Xiaogan, but also all the time thinking about the place where they have worked and lived for thirty-eight years. In their eyes, from the Hyosung Garden, they can clearly see the family area and factory buildings in the ravine; in their hearts, they still store the unforgettable feelings and thoughts about Factory 238 and the Huazhong team.
The old soldiers living in the field, as long as it comes to Xiaogan, as long as it is into the military garden, to meet you must be that a familiar and friendly smiling face, and that familiar factory Mandarin, although there are a lot of young faces we are no longer familiar with, and there are some once-familiar voice and smile can no longer be seen.
We have not forgotten, in the eighties and nineties of the last century, with the state of the big three lines of military relocation of the start, Xiaogan City, immediately with sincere arms, the introduction of competitive incentives to warmly welcome the three lines of military enterprises from the mountains in western Hubei. Nanzhang's 4404 factory, Yidu's 238 factory, Yuanan's 066 base and other military central enterprises were attracted at once, one after another to join the substantial overall relocation.
We also remember that Xiaogan, despite being only 60 kilometers from the great Wuhan, did not have a decent large-scale enterprise at that time, and urban construction lagged behind Yichang. Moreover, the old soldiers and workers also felt that the climate here was not ideal either. In winter, the north wind is bitterly cold, and the degree of cold can be compared to the north. In summer, the heat wave is raging everywhere, baking in the face hot and spicy. Some people say Wuhan is one of the country's three major furnaces, hot as a leprechaun, completely unreasonable. In my opinion, Xiaogan's summer if not like a leprechaun is also like a drunkard: the sun is in the air, people walking on the road, even if it is under an umbrella, the face of the rosy black oat will flow endless sweat, staggering, gas kicking boo boo boo, like drinking too much filial piety rice wine drunkard general.
But the ability to adapt is not to be underestimated, the human feeling is also very strange, complex, changing, the impression of a city is so. From unfamiliar to familiar, from discomfort to suitability, from displeasure to favorite, it all changes with the turn of the stars. In a word, time is the best judge, time is long, everything will become natural.
In the morning, when you leisurely shuttle in the neighborhood not far from the Hongguang market, the people next to people, people crowded with the market vitality and filled with the smell of fireworks scene will certainly infect you. From time to time, you can hear the familiar factory Mandarin accent in the crowd, following the sound of the search over ......, "ah! It's you, long time no see, hello! Hello!" Old folks, old colleagues, old friends meet in the food market, naturally another warm unforgettable scenery. This scenery, this scene, it is easy to evoke the memory of the previous scene in the old factory in the ravine over the Sunday: workers, men and women, young and old people in the factory store when they bumped into the kind of natural and cordial lively scene of the workers and colleagues.
Xiaogan is the land of fish and rice. The market fish market can be described as unprecedented, I wandered in between, only to see a variety of specifications of a number of varieties of fresh fish in the pool jumping around, very attractive people like. However, I favor the five-inch-long small swordfish. Whether it is wild or non-wild, the fish will buy home, it will be open and broken, washed and salted and dried, oil fried, that delicious crispy on the mention.
I also like the vegetables grown by local farmers: not so red but slightly green tomatoes; green chili peppers that are much cheaper than those in the southern cities and retain the local spiciness; and the dark green leaves and dark red amaranth that have just been picked from the fields, which are fluffy and tender in your mouth, and fragrant. And the long cowpeas, eat like eating the flavor of childhood, unlike in the big city supermarkets to buy cowpeas, eat feel not so much, can not say what the flavor.
Tender lotus root Tender lotus root tip of the small fried dishes is more filial piety a big feature, tender, sweet and delicious. In winter, with the native 9-hole, 10-hole lotus root plus pork ribs and big bones simmering soup, but also Hubei Xiaogan delicious cuisine is indispensable to a great.
As night falls, the old people who exercise begin to appear in groups in the center square of the Hyogo Garden and the surrounding roads. Walkers, runners, square dancers, and of course, those who play double ascension, flower cards, and mahjong, these activities are optional and free to participate.
A city where drivers can actively yield to pedestrians is a standard feature of this civilized city, which is also a beautiful urban landscape. In this regard, Xiaogan City is also quietly happening a welcome change. Pedestrians crossing the crosswalk, when we flinch, the driver slowed down and stopped, stretched out his head, smiled at us and waved his hand, let us pass first. This scene really gave us a surprise: the face of Xiaogan has changed, and so have the people of Xiaogan! Yes, Xiaogan is the place where Dong Yong sold himself to bury his father. Dong Yong sold his body to bury his father, touching the sky and earth to have the name of Xiaogan. The story of Huang Xiang's fan coverlet and the story of Meng Zong's weeping bamboo shoots also happened in this piece of filial piety and virtue culture has a long history of feng shui treasure.
Tourism fever in the past two years also quietly rise in the old soldiers. Flying mood, groups of three to five traveling in company; cultivate sentiment, taste of life in the south and north of the world. They can really be said: step on the clouds, waving hand from the calm, the flowers and jungles, there are fairy counterparts! The old soldiers and workers have also become very fashionable, with smart phones chatting microblogging, do the beauty of the piece, recording micro-vision, shoot Jieyin, all in the line it.
Not long ago, a group of a dozen or so old colleagues living in Yidu drove to Henan Province to enjoy the peonies in Luoyang, and on the way back, they purposely stayed in Xiaogan for one day. Not for any other reason, they just want to see the newly relocated modernized plant, and see how Huazhong Optoelectronics is marching into the journey of the third venture; they just want to visit their old colleagues, how are they doing? Is life happy, is the body well?
The big pattern of modern buildings and automated production lines in Chengdong New District made them sigh and excitement, and the long-awaited reunion in the Hyogo Garden made them embrace each other and feel ecstatic. In the joy of reunion, the old soldiers and workers to talk about the family, talk about children's love. With old friends looking back at the years of red dust rolling, and old colleagues laugh at the days of cloud scrolling ...... can really be said, a thousand words, say endless words of understanding; wine meets a friend, taste endless sweet wine.
Yangtze River waves push forward, a generation stronger than a generation. In the past few years, Huazhong Photoelectric has carried out the activities of "remembering the history of the factory and loving Huazhong". Every year, the company organizes new college students, the new generation of soldiers and workers of the two-three-eight plant collectively went to the old factory in Yidu, looking for the memory of the third line, the inheritance of the spirit of the soldiers and workers. I do not know, when the waves of the latter witnessed the age of the cave, workshop, plant, when they appreciate the rust stained vines and grasses of the vicissitudes of life, when they listen to the old soldiers and workers to tell the story of the hard work that once took place there and the casting of the brilliant performance, the waves of the latter is difficult to understand incredibly confident or passionate and voluminous?
"Years deep outside the realm as if my realm, day long his hometown is the hometown". Soldiers and workers love Yidu and Xiaogan these two places, these two places are intertwined with light and shadow. Spring rises and autumn falls, and the years are mottled. Each person in the military workers team is an era of beating immortal notes and is enshrined in the national memory. Green silk and white hair in the twinkling of an eye, indifferently looking back, a few vicissitudes in the heart. Perhaps, the old soldiers and workers will be issued from time to time, "like a green silk twilight snow" sigh, but that melted in the blood of the three lines of sentiment, his hometown into the nostalgia of the hometown, but always bloom in the heart, from time to time to blossom out of the quiet fragrance.
Ah, the soft breeze, is gently blowing, long years, has quietly collection. Let's let the flow of light swept through the joy and passion, hidden in the time tunnel, grateful for the memory, savor; will be that wasted years of warmth and quiet, engraved in the corridor of life, remember the eternal, inheritance of glory.
