Shen Haibo: Dream Water Town

Good friend Shen Haibo, Wenzhou native, financial expert, banker.

Dream Water Town//Shen Haibo

If you want to meet, I am at the crossroads of sadness and happiness-Mu Xin.

Hi, Shen Zixuan, how do you do?

I told you a few things about your graduation trip on WeChat last night, and I'm still unfinished. Then I will tell you about my trip to Wuzhen.

This is really a pleasant trip.

The first is to be in a good mood.

I completely completed the first stage of self-salvation since Daiyu Burning Manuscript. When I stood at the ticket gate of the moving station, I didn't panic any more. I even want to be sad on purpose, but I can't: my heart is full of happiness of traveling, and there is no place for negative emotions at all.

The second is a sense of accomplishment.

Skillfully book air tickets and homestays through Ctrip-not only smooth but also practical. Especially when I successfully changed my train ticket the next day, I really enjoyed that confidence: I am the host, and all fancy apps are tools for me.

I finally overcame my fear of new technology and felt like a gentleman climbing a mountain: without him, one good deed deserves another, and the false does something wrong.

This is another kind of self-redemption.

Then there is a new experience.

When I come to Wuzhen this time, I plan to change my previous habit of staying in a five-star hotel, find a bitter meal and live in the original small house in the old city of Gu Xiang, as long as it is clean.

Of course, it is not easy when faced with real choices. I put aside the cooling method and placed an order the next morning. I gave up an ultra-luxury hotel called Zhaoming Academy in the core scenic spot of Wuzhen, and chose a hotel called "Once Slow" outside the scenic spot-this name attracted me, as long as 144 yuan stayed for one night. Of course, there is no homestay on Ctrip that is less than 100 yuan.

This is really from thrift to luxury, and from luxury to thrift.

I'm like a dragon in the south of the Yangtze River. I really want to have a pickle cake for a change.

From Wenzhou's hometown, walk 10 minutes to S 1 Sanyo Wetland Station, wait 10 minutes, the S 1 train leaves for Wenzhou South in 20 minutes, transfer to the bullet train ticket gate in 15 minutes and leave the gate in 40 minutes. After the bullet train arrives at Tongxiang Station, line up for 30 minutes and get on the train to Wuzhen.

Spring has come all the way, and my heart is full of joy.

Mu Xin said that in the past, cars, horses and mail were all slow.

Cars and horses are fast now, but I still enjoy myself. I'm just looking for the slowness of the wooden heart in the gap between the nodes where the horses and chariots change.

Min Sujing, you can still hear the voice of the host downstairs and the cough of the tenant next door after closing the door.

The homestay is not big, and you can smell the delicious lampblack prepared by the host for the guests in the kitchen when you lie in bed.

The owner is a local couple of about 60 years old, living in their own property, with a grandson who is just learning to walk at about one year old and an unmarried daughter to help manage the business in the store.

Interestingly, I also saw a desk calendar in 2020 on the counter, which was made of photos of their family. It should have been taken by my family in a photo studio when my grandson was one year old. It was a man's suit and a woman's cheongsam.

Also on the desk calendar, I saw their little grandson's parents, who were introduced by the hostess. They all worked in Hangzhou Xiaoshan Airport and earned more than 300,000 yuan a year. They are handsome and beautiful.

My little grandson is dignified and strong, with fine eyes. He is not afraid of strangers and kisses me.

I teased him and listened to his quacking laughter, which was like being in a world where chickens and dogs heard about each other. My hair was yellow and I was very happy.

Mu Xin Art Museum is located in Wuzhen Scenic Area, Zhaxi.

I bought the ticket on 10 the next morning and didn't come out until 3 pm.

Although the original purpose of this trip to Wuzhen is to visit the Mu Xin Art Museum, there are no plans to visit it. However, people are already in the scenic spot, and I am still hesitating to go.

You know, my moral cleanliness is quite heavy, and I feel very uncomfortable if I don't do things according to the plan.

It's so pedantic to turn around and leave. Besides, I enjoyed a visual feast and a spiritual feast in Mu Xin Art Museum for nearly five hours. I felt a little overwhelmed, so I had to take a walk to digest the food.

Finally, I convinced myself: I am safe when I come, and I will go for a walk.

Man, it's hard to know yourself, but it's too easy to convince yourself.

Poetry cloud:

Winning the sun to find the fragrance of the water shore, the infinite scenery is new for a while.

On the phone yesterday, you said that you still remember that our family drove from Ningbo to Wuzhen once more than 20 years ago. Wuzhen is famous for the shooting place of the TV series "April Day on Earth" starring Huang Lei Rene Liu. At present, the image spokesperson of Wuzhen tickets is still Rene Liu. We are also the first generation of drama chasers.

It's just strange that I walked up and down the old streets on both sides of the river alternately, all the way to the end, but I couldn't find the impression of that year.

I am like a sleepwalker wandering in the old days. The small bridges and cloisters around me are covered with blue tiles, which is specious as I remember. I even wonder if I have Harmo's disease, and the paw of memory slips on the brain wall.

It is said that Wuzhen was later transformed and developed by a listed company. When world internet conference was selected, all the residents in the scenic spot moved out.

Things have changed, but not so much.

Later, I was sitting on a rocking boat, and the boatman who paddled woke up a few wrong people:

I am visiting this Wuzhen now. This is not the small town in Wu Bi where we played.

We went to Dongzha, commonly known as Wuzhen Phase I, two kilometers away, and 200 1 was open to the public.

The place where I live now is Zhaxi, also known as Wuzhen Phase II, which was only opened to the public in 2007.

This is really:

Warm winds intoxicated tourists and made Hangzhou a Bianzhou.

On the third morning, when rickshaw driver told me that Dongzha had arrived, I looked at the stone bridge in front and the ticket office under the big tree on the left. I know that I really returned to Wuzhen, my dream this time.

There is no doubt that the place where I get off this tricycle now is where I park the White Accord. There was no navigation at that time, so we drove all the way to the bridge. You were only five or six years old.

Walking through these long and lonely alleys written by Dai Wangshu, we didn't expect that I would retreat to the second line when I was old, and I didn't expect that you would go so far to study in the United States when you grew up.

Yesterday, I told Sister Hong that it has been almost ten years since you left us to live independently: three years in high school, four years in college and three years in study abroad.

In China, people all over the world will say that their daughters are guests, they should be treated politely at home, and they will be other people's daughters-in-law.

Now it seems that men are the guests of their parents' family. When they grow up, they all want to travel to the outside world and are eager to be the new masters of the world.

Of course, we didn't expect that there was a yard behind the mottled brown gate we passed, which used to be Mu Xin's former residence.

A brief introduction of Mu Xin's former residence memorial hall is as follows:

Mu Xin, formerly known as Sun Pu, took "Mu Xin" as his pen name in adulthood.

1927, Mu Xin was born in Dongzha, Wuzhen.

1943, 16-year-old Mu Xin left Wuzhen for Hangzhou. Two years later, he transferred to Shanghai Art Institute.

1950, Mu Xin's ancestral property was confiscated.

1982, 55-year-old Mu Xin left Shanghai for the United States.

1995 At the beginning of this year, Mu Xin returned to Shanghai from new york after 52 years' absence, and visited his hometown alone in the snow. This is the first time that he has come to Wuzhen since he left home as a teenager.

In 2000, Sun Jiayuan's land and real estate were purchased by Wuzhen Tourism Company, and it took five years to complete the transformation from 200 1. Mu Xin personally renamed the restored ancestral home "Yixian Zhu Xiao".

In September 2006, 79-year-old Mu Xin returned to his hometown and died in the winter of 20 1 1 at the age of 84.

Coincidentally, due to maintenance, the former residence memorial hall only opened the front hall. After reading the schematic diagram of the exhibition hall under the wall, it is estimated that it accounts for less than one-fifth of the open area.

I'm not sad because I didn't see you at home.

When I looked up and saw the horizontal plaque hanging in the front hall, I suddenly realized:

If the curatorial idea of the former residence memorial hall is an article, then this horizontal plaque is telling me that this article was written in flashback, and the words "Mu Xin Calligraphy" on this horizontal plaque are the vision and conclusion of this article. When I stayed in Mu Xin Art Museum for nearly five hours, I listened to Mu Xin's artistic achievements in literature, poetry, calligraphy and painting one by one. When I passed the corner of the corridor of the last manuscript exhibition hall, a hole suddenly opened and the room was full of books. At first, I thought the staff forgot to close the warehouse door.

Look at the probe and you will know that it is a stepped library open to tourists.

The indomitable, warehouse-style bookshelves are staggered with books and dozens of black-and-white headshots, all the sizes of Chairman Mao's previous standard portraits, which are very visually shocking.

Curious, I carefully read the books upstairs and downstairs, all of which are Chinese translations of western world literature and philosophy.

Yes, except the Collected Works of Mu Xin, there is no book written by China people.

I looked up and examined the photo carefully. There are more than 50 photos, all of which are famous writers and philosophers in western history, from Homer in ancient Greece to Beauvoir in modern France.

Yes, no one in China has a face, even Mu Xin has retired. Standing under the horizontal plaque of Dongzha at the moment, I suddenly understood the meaning of Tashi's book wall:

This is the spiritual and cultural map of Mu Xin's exile aesthetics.

Mu Xin, who started from Wuzhen and went to the world, went into exile in Qian Shan, went to the ends of the earth and went into exile in his motherland and hometown.

Ok, that's enough for today. This article is a bit long.

I'll talk to you about Mu Xin another day.

Chen Danqing described himself as a "difficult old man".

But when the old man was young, he was called a handsome man!

Goodbye! Good Night!
