The city is small and a bit of a messy planning, developed on the basis of the original old county. Nowadays, modern towns have risen all over the world, the county appears to be very outdated, there is a small segment on the network to flirt with a small town, the name of the town set on the Pingyuan, once on the network crazy: "Guangdong has a small county called Pingyuan, construction with India, planning with Xi'an, consumption with Shanghai, traffic jams with Beijing, streets with Iraq was bombed like, the work with the hobo like, the streets with the Iraqi. The work with the hobo like, earn less wages with the African refugees like, but one dressed like a star like, prices are expensive with the New York Manhattan like, holiday to go shopping supermarkets like a concert like, drink with the drinking water like, casinos more than with the Macau like, to buy things like a big money like, swipe the card like picking up like, food prices rose with the April Fools' Day like, look at the non-transferring as if it did not stay in the Pingyuan! stayed like ......"
I also once on this extremely exaggerated paragraph gleefully, and with another look at this small town where I have lived for decades, the feeling is really something. Admittedly, the county with some of the same level of towns and cities there is a certain gap, such as the overall planning, street construction, residential buildings, people's lives, etc., can not be compared with them, but as long as you are in the small town, savor, or to experience some of the good things, as if the city of the green.
Wandering in this small town, can feel the green is everywhere.
Almost every day, I have to wait for the bus to the township where I work, and the bus goes from north to south through the whole town. While waiting for that green bus, I have to look uncontrollably to the north side of the highway. On both sides of the highway, there are nearly 10-meter-high banyan trees, and the upper part of those banyan trees, almost without exception, spread their thick branches and leaves toward the middle of the highway. On summer mornings, when the sun is already a bit hot, I tend to stand underneath the banyan trees to get away from the increasingly hot sun.
The bus has to pass through a crowded Pingcheng middle street, which is a section of the oldest urban area, in that planned economy, department stores, movie theaters, supply and marketing agencies, bus station and other units are in this street, the most interesting thing is that, no matter how the development of the city, this is always the most lively downtown area of the city, and on both sides of the building is still the old house, the street is as narrow as it was a few decades ago. County First Elementary School is on this street, early in the morning during the elementary school students, the street is often crowded with vehicles and pedestrians. Memories of this street are on both sides of the old trees, the shade of the sun, the street and stores on both sides of the sun all day. Today, those ancient trees are no longer, but too many newly planted trees branches have been quite thick, the leaves on the tree is also growing thickly, a few years later, may be able to grow into a big tree.
The south side of the market, is the county in recent years the construction of a square, whenever the afternoon or evening, many people like to go to this square leisure, some people in the square dance floor dancing, children playing in the square, the elderly friends in the shade of the tree chatting, or come to a song sing-along. Come to the square, can let people experience a refreshing green. From a distance, next to the dance floor is a forest, which is grown in the small town of the forest, it is in the hot summer, for the public to hold up a green umbrella for people to bring a piece of cool. That planted in the flower pool tree, coiled roots and gnarled, so that all day in the concrete forest life people feel a kind of nature's beauty.
It is occasionally walking in the small pale, without looking up, you can see the green, it is in front of your eyes, that side of the random, that side of the unadorned in front of your eyes ......
These trees, perhaps are extremely common, the green of the small town, for some of the people in the garden city, perhaps It is nothing to write home about, but for a city, it is so relevant to people's lives. The ecology around us is getting worse and worse, the environment we live in is getting worse and worse, maybe there is really a day, the green in the city gradually away from us, then, we in the city, there will be nowhere to escape!
