Hongzhuang, Suzhou —— The Second Hometown of Pingdingshan People

Hongzhuang is located in the south of Suzhou and belongs to Wuzhong District. It was formed by merging the original villages of Hongzhuang, Silverstream and Shuangqiao. Less than 200 meters from north to south and less than 500 meters from east to west, it is vertically divided into five areas. The three districts and the four districts are divided into old districts and new districts. The old area in the north is a group of old houses waiting to be demolished, and it is also the core part of the original Hongzhuang village. Construction of the new district began in 2004 and was gradually improved in 2008. The local resident population is 3,000, and most of them are landlords. There are many factories near Hongzhuang, and most factories in Suzhou do not provide accommodation, which has created its unprecedented prosperity. There are brothers and sisters who work near Wuzhong District, as well as in the new district and the park, and speak Mandarin in all corners of the country. Most of them are from Henan, either for their dreams or simply for their survival. They gathered in this small village.

? Most people in Henan are from Jiaxian County, Pingdingshan. In the early days, Jia County people left their homes to work here. After a long period of precipitation, they developed into shops here, took root here, had internet cafes, intermediaries, restaurants and various small businesses, and gradually achieved their current dominant position. Walking in the street, one step at a time, is really a miracle.

? China people pay attention to the culture of "eating", and Jiaxian people are no exception. They took root in it and carried it with them. The streets are full of restaurants with Jia County characteristics, mostly two small private rooms. You can open a set of tools for rolling noodles The roll surface is round and can only be made with special tools. The soup base is simmered with pig bones and added with special seasoning.

? As a foreign foodie, we can now compete with local foodies without the huge homesick Pingdingshan people. Walking into the store is as comfortable as being at home, and you can talk when you are free.

? Since ancient times, people in China have attached great importance to home. Speaking of home, you have to mention the house. Pingdingshan people wandering in Hongzhuang, whether doing small business or working, also need houses, and most of them are mainly renting houses, so landlord culture has emerged. The landlords here are basically local people's own houses, some are old houses, and some are newly built houses. Most of them are small yards with three or four floors, and each room is partitioned for rent. The new house is ok, but the old house will suffer when it rains in the south of the Yangtze River. The floor is damp and the house is moldy, so it should be ventilated and cleaned frequently.

? Because there are many people, the living environment is relatively not very good. Small streets crisscross, like the old hutong in Beijing, with more garbage, several main roads are relatively clean, and there is no parking lot designed by the community, so there are illegal vehicles on both sides of the road now. The river pollution in the village is very serious. The inland river is paved with wooden boards near the south gate of the fourth district, and a new snack street is set up on it, which is crowded. Whether this is a good or bad grade is not judged here.

? The subway in Suzhou has been built quickly in the past two years, and there are also subway stations in Hongzhuang. Suzhou Railway Station takes Metro Line 4, which goes directly to Hongzhuang, exits the subway, and is opposite to the beautiful Hongzhuang Area 5. No matter what life is like, Hongzhuang is a place where Pingding Mountain people rest. In the house I rented, I lay in bed, ending the fatigue of the day, and tomorrow is a brand-new day.
