The majestic city between Bashan and Yushui

Chongqing, a city born by mountains and rivers, a city of heroes reborn from the ashes, a rising city that came from behind, and a city full of longing for the future! Looking at China and the world, which city can't be separated from mountains and water like Chongqing, and can have such scenic wonders as "the mountain is the city, the city is the mountain" and "Jiang Tao hits the city, and the tall buildings overlook the middle stream"!

Looking at Chaotianmen Square on the railing, staring at the rolling mountains on the north and south sides of the Yangtze River and Jialing River, overlooking the spectacular sight of the Yangtze River embracing warmly and advancing eastward, people are always restless and full of thoughts ...

Li Taibai once chanted to the sky: "It is difficult to go to the sky!" Even so, how difficult is it to build such a huge city on the steep cliffs of big rivers? Back in ancient times, when the ancestors of Chongqing people went up the Yangtze River from the Three Gorges or down the Qinling Mountains to this rugged land sandwiched between the two rivers, they left the first trace on the hard rock with the most primitive tools, which also represented that future generations signed an agreement with this landscape. Generations of Chongqing people have worked hard, shed blood and sweated, and transformed this place recognized by their ancestors like ants gnawing at bones. They have traveled through a long historical cloud and experienced numerous natural and man-made disasters, leaving behind them the Dayu Tushan, Ba Man Zi's tomb, which has been mourning for thousands of years, the remote door with mottled moss traces, the rugged Huguang Hall on the balcony, the antique porcelain mouth and a quilt.

"Chongqing City is made up of two stones." This thought-provoking remark comes from an old stonemason. It once opened my eyes: really, in this huge city of Chongqing, where is there no trace of Lian II? They build city walls and castles, roadbed and piers, arched tunnels and culverts, streets and alleys, foundations and stone steps ... I don't know how many or even two stones there are in Chongqing, but I dare say that if all of them are concentrated, a new Great Wall or hundreds of pyramids can be built! For many years, "beating two stones" and "lifting two stones" have long been synonymous with heavy physical labor in local dialects.

Therefore, in the face of such a big city that spans between Bashan and Chongqing, some friends from the plain are always shocked and puzzled. ...

In the critical period of great development, Chongqing's irreplaceable important position has finally been recognized by the whole country and has become the youngest municipality directly under the central government. Chongqing people have lived up to the love and expectation of history. It took less than 10 years to present a brand-new Chongqing to China and the world.

What the citizens feel most is, of course, the changes that have taken place in front of their own homes. I dare say that if you visit any Chongqing person in the street, you may hear a thrilling story. In the area around Chongqing Village, where the author lives, in just a few years, Chongqing Chess Academy, Taiji Mansion with unique modeling, Chongbai Mansion full of modern charm, Zhongshan Mansion, Zhongtian Mansion, Huiyuan Mansion, Huaan Mansion, Investment Mansion, and ultra-luxury five-star hotels are second to none ... Walking on the colored brick road of swaying trees and splashing fountains, the joy and touch of the old residents can't be fully expressed in a few words.

Judging Chongqing, it cannot be said that Chongqing people are the soul of this city.

A native of Chongqing, a survivor of Ba Shi in a brave and invincible army, a descendant of a stonemason with exquisite craftsmanship in Baoding, Dazu North Mountain, a descendant of a tracker who rushed across a canyon on a river thousands of miles away, a citizen who wrote an oath of "bombing is getting stronger and stronger" on the ruins bombed by the enemy, and a male and female migrant worker who sweated profusely on the construction site in chengdu-chongqing railway ... In the era of reform and opening up, a generation has made unprecedented creation. We can see this from Tongliang Dragon, which is tumbling and soaring in light waterfalls and fire and rain. We can see this from those students who are in a hurry on campus and have no time to take care of them. This can be seen from the fact that employees in enterprises are absorbed in their work by the assembly line. This can be seen from the fire officers and soldiers desperately rushing to the burst flame. We can see this from the Three Gorges immigrants, who left their homes to help the elderly and young people build a better home. ..

Chongqing people's more and more confident smiles, more and more free and easy posture, more and more beautiful clothes, more and more ambitious ... Every day reflects the spiritual light of this western metropolis and becomes the most eye-catching and beautiful scenery that will never fade in all seasons!
