Essays on Kaizhou Prose

I have been to many cities, but few cities let me write. Because those cities have no characteristics, they are more and more integrated. I have lived in Kaixian for a month, but I always have ideas in my mind, so I have to keep this passage in mind.

Kaixian county belongs to Chongqing, which was called Kaizhou in ancient times. The county seat not only spreads many customs and habits in eastern Chongqing, but also has its own unique charm. Living in Kaixian County, I like its tranquility and freedom. Without the hustle and bustle of big cities, everyone walks quietly in their own circles and enjoys an independent life. Even at night, people will go out to the streets, which is more delicious than the crowds in big cities.

This is a new city where immigrants moved in, but there are still many old things. What impressed me most was ancient human tricycles, which wandered around the corner of the city every day, making Kaixian a convenient leisure city. There are hundreds of human tricycles cars and many motor tricycles in a small county town, nicknamed "Numbness". These tricycles run in every corner of the streets, with low fees and low pollution noise, but they play the role of taxis.

I live in Kaixian County and seldom take a taxi for forty days. Go out and walk to the door of the community every day, and when you raise your hand, a lot of human tricycles will surround you. Pick any one and tell me where you want to go. The tricycle will sway me leisurely in the street, like sitting in a stable sedan chair. Locals also like to take human tricycles, whether it's for work, school or school. Many parents don't send their children to school, so they recruit one.

Tired, I like to take a nap on the tricycle. Don't worry about falling asleep and missing your destination. When I get there, my host will wake me up. I am in a good mood, sitting in the car and enjoying the scenery on the roadside. The county seat is not big, so it's very fresh to see the women walking on the street, the teahouse on the roadside, the old man who set up stalls and the "landlord" on the wide sidewalk.

Kaixian women, white and charming, sit in human tricycles, and the car shop doesn't walk fast, so they can see the women's faces in the street clearly. They walk in the street, their slow pace, their charm and their posture are pleasing to the eye. If he is an undisciplined man, almost everyone wants to get married here again. No wonder some people say, "I regret getting married too early when I arrive in Chongqing." That group of dignified and decent women who walk leisurely in the streets have pulled up a long landscape and hung exquisite animations on the streets of Kaixian County, adding a special human landscape to this small town.

The old man who set up a stall sat on the street, with a bamboo basket beside him and things from the old days. The old man squinted at the people walking around, as if remembering his life and enjoying his happy old age, but he couldn't forget the idea of doing business. He wanted to move the antiques of his time out to find its customers. The things in the bamboo basket were eliminated by city life, and those simple matches and bronzed cigarettes remained in the details, showing the historical year. Occasionally, the old man picked up a cigarette in it and gently clamped it on the cigarette rod, enjoying the smell of the cigarette. Cigarettes are rolled up with a piece of tobacco leaves, without any packaging, cut into two-inch long sections, and can be directly loaded into the pipe. Looking at these old things reminds me, a person who has traveled all over the world, of their years and goes back and forth in the long river of history.

I was dazzled by the different signs in the teahouse on the roadside. Sitting on the human tricycles, strolling the streets or finding a quiet teahouse is an interesting thing in town life. Just like Chengdu people driving in the street looking for food, they had a full meal, which is unforgettable. People in Kaixian also like to talk about business and have a cup of tea in the teahouse. They say that they can't finish talking about what happened in the past and what happened today, and business opportunities are also launched in these words.

Get on the human tricycles and turn into a narrow alley. Although it is a new city, there are no traces of ancient civilization and Suzhou gardens, but the shops and food that leave a deep memory are unforgettable. Kaixian people are different from southerners and northerners in diet. They attach equal importance to meat and vegetables and have many special snacks. In my spare time, I got on a human tricycles and asked the driver to take me to find delicious food. Through the deep alley, I found the noodles, steamed rice noodles, stewed duck feet and wheat cakes I wanted. When I am full, the sun shines on my face, dyeing it golden and emitting warmth. I walked back to my residence contentedly.

When I arrived in Kaixian County, it was already early autumn. Sometimes it's noon when it's finished. Go back to your residence and sit in human tricycles, passing through one alley after another. I saw groups of tricycle drivers putting their cars in the shade and taking a nap in the carriage, which made people have endless associations.

Whenever night falls, men and women living at home wander in the street, or three or five people get together to chat, or drink some wine and eat some peanuts in the street. Sitting on the tricycle, I looked at them with envy and watched the leisurely life of people in the town.

After I left Kaixian, I still miss human tricycles. I wonder if there is any chance to stay there for three or five years and enjoy real leisure.
