This was the 80s of the 20 th century, and New China had gone through a difficult childhood, gone through the hardships of youth, and had already entered the age of youth. Life tells her that self-improvement and self-reliance is the way out, and only by straightening her waist can she gain a foothold. Foreign devils are no longer allowed to do anything wrong here, and all kinds of feudal forces are not allowed to oppress the people. The land of Shenzhou is full of new looks. She is like a roc, already spreading her powerful wings and ready to fly.

In the south-central part of the Great Plain of North China, there is a small city of Niucheng, which is bordered by the Taihang Mountains in the west and Shandong Province in the east. The city is small, but it has a long history. It dates back to several decades BC and dates back to the prehistoric times of slash-and-burn farming. It has been established more than once to build the capital and command the world; It was once a refuge for the orphans of the Zhao family; This is the hometown of Guanyin with a thousand hands and a thousand eyes, and it is the mulberry land of the Cowherd and Weaver Girl; The Yellow Turbans fought for the freedom of the common people and once held high the banner of anti-feudal dynasty here......

Where there are many stories and legends, there will always be endless stories and legends. Today, it is once again telling a new legend.

This is a corner of today's Cow City, where ancient buildings are concentrated. Compared with the new development zone, they seem to be old people, who have already retired from their jobs. The most beautiful is the red sunset, now they are sorry, have time to sit together, talk about the past and the present, and celebrate a happy old age together.

It is a three-storey old building. It is like a cross-century old man who has never been out of the house, and he is lucky enough to stand on the side of the bustling street to enjoy the scenery, and he is full of curiosity about everything. From the appearance, this building is "ancient" with a "foreign" flavor, and the "foreign" flavor is permeated with "Chinese style". Although it is bloated and old, it gives people the feeling that it is not old "dirt".

If the designer of this building is a foreigner. He must have been very knowledgeable about Chinese culture. He must be very familiar with the Forbidden City in Beijing, and has studied ancient Chinese architectural styles; If the designer is a Chinese, then he must have traveled across the sea to study, visited many Western countries, and lived in the West for a long time, quite familiar with Western customs. Otherwise, he would not have been able to design such a work.

The roof alone is not only a classical Chinese architectural style, but also adds Western architectural elements and symbols and modern atmosphere. It's like a person, his chest-length white beard shows that he has a long life, and he has experienced all the vicissitudes of life to witness the change of emperors and dynasties, which makes you admire him; The energetic physique, the younger and younger the spiritual outlook, and the five-body throw that you admire.

The building's windows are narrow and slender, somewhat similar to Catholic churches in the West. The walls are so wide. It seems that its indoor lighting is insufficient and the ventilation conditions are not good, but the thick walls may really achieve the effect of "warm in winter and cool in summer". In the era before the birth of air conditioners, this design was probably the best way to adjust the room temperature.

From a distance, the building looks like an ancient castle. As you can imagine, the residents of those days were by no means idle. The whole exterior style rhymes with the ancient buildings of this Niucheng, but it stands on the edge of the ancient buildings, and the modern buildings across the street, it is like a link, holding hands between the ancient and the present, the East and the West, it is really a perfect unity.

In front of this old building is a newly developed east-west street. The fast lane of the main street can accommodate eight cars in parallel. Coupled with the sidewalks and sidewalks, it really makes people feel open-minded. People who are used to living in small places are stunned when they stand on this street for the first time. It can be seen that the designer of the city not only has a mind, but also has a vision and vision, and he is a person who is ahead of the development of time.

On the other side of the street is the New Century Living Community. There are high-rise buildings in the community, and there are many buildings. There are also a variety of cultural, entertainment and sports training places such as a swimming pool, a song hall, and a ball hall. At the entrance of the community, vehicles come in and out, and there is no quiet time. That doorman is no less than a traffic police officer at a busy intersection. This and the ancient building community are simply two worlds. As long as people cross the street, it is as if they have come to a great historical journey.

This ancient building can only accommodate a dozen families. The people were dressed in a way that was neither the robes and coats of the past, nor the tuxedos that were popular in the West. Men's suits and leather shoes, women's skirts fluttering. These modern costumes make it seem more and more that this kind of architecture is ancient and has gone through vicissitudes.

Dark-haired, yellow-skinned, the elders speak Mandarin and speak local dialects, and Mandarin is mixed with a thick local accent; The younger generation occasionally has a little dialect accent in Mandarin; The dolls are all fluent in Mandarin, and they also jump out of foreign words from time to time. The speeches of three generations record the development and progress of society.

In the easternmost household on the top floor of this ancient building, a woman's low crying voice came from the door from time to time, her voice was sad and earnest, and her words were intermittent: "Ming, my good husband, I sent you to the point of no return." I'm sorry for you, I hate myself so much, I'm an incompetent wife......"

That kind of grief tears the hearts of those who hear it, and tears the lungs of those who hear it.

Pushing open the door of this household, the first thing I saw was a small atrium, in which a table of eight immortals and two Taishi chairs were placed. On the wall hangs a picture frame draped in black veil. The owner in the frame has just stepped into middle age. His full handsomeness makes movie stars a little inferior. Big eyes, black eyeballs flashing brightly, slightly upturned lips, with a hint of a smile, hiding an unknown secret, that kind of smile comes from the heart, from the depths of the heart.

There are also two candles lit on the table, and the incense burner burns longevity incense. This traditional Chinese custom is integrated with the style of the ancient building. It's part of the ancient Chinese civilization that transports you to the ancient past.

Two steps forward after entering the door, there is a small meeting room on the right. There are sofas and coffee tables in the hall, which is exactly what it is today. Here, a step forward is ancient, and a step to the right is modern. This step allows you to span hundreds of years, thousands of years......
