"Fukaisen Road?" When Wang Youjie heard this, he seemed to remember something, and said, "Why does the name of this road sound so familiar?" ”

Bu Li smiled and said, at the end of the movie "Lust and Caution", after Wang Jiazhi let Mr. Yi go, he got into a rickshaw with a sigh of relief, and shouted loudly, "Go to Fukaisen Road"! The Fukaisen Road here is the Wukang Road in front of you now.

Wang Youjie suddenly realized and said: "It seems that there is this line." ”

"Then ----, Mr. Wang, after so many years, do you still remember such a detail, which shows that you should have watched this movie quite carefully at the time?"

Bu Li stared at Wang Youjie with both eyes, and sneered: "Honestly, who did you go to see this movie with at that time?" ”

Wang Youjie smiled and didn't make a sound.

The tide rises and falls, and the wind and clouds surge. With the passage of time, Fukaisen Road has now been renamed "Wukang Road".

But the sycamores on both sides of the road are still waving, and the garden houses are still peaceful and quiet. They carry the history of those celebrities and the smoke of the past, silently scattered in every corner of the street, proving that yesterday has long been gone with the wind.

The two of them walked freely on Wukang Road.

Walking into Wukang Road is like walking into old Shanghai.

Wukang Road, which is only more than 1 kilometer, is neither long nor short, but it has more than 50 excellent historical buildings and preserved historical buildings.

The whole road walks from south to north, from the former residence of Song Qingling to Li Hongzhang's Lilac Garden, and along the way passes the former residence of the literary giant Ba Jin, as well as the former residence of Huang Xing, the former residence of Tang Shaoyi, and so on.

This road has gone through the washing of the years, and it still retains the charm of literature.

The French plane trees on both sides are dappled with shadows, like magical magic, and have become the filming location of many film and television dramas.

Walking here, touching the walls and bricks with the traces of time, and picking up every leaf, you can feel its former prosperity and decay, poetry and market.

The exotic buildings along Wukang Road are of high ornamental value, with architectural styles such as Spanish-style and French Renaissance buildings, and there are also reasons for tourists to stop along the way.

Any wall and building on Wukang Road is a good background.

But if you look closely, you can see that the walls of the building are either brushed or pebbles, and even the walls are bamboo fences. It's all scenery from the lens of an audiophile. And these walls come in through the mottled refraction of dense sycamore leaves on sunny days, no matter how you shoot them, they have a special literary style.

The width of Wukang Road is about 12 to 16 meters, which complements the old houses with a height of 8 meters to 16 meters, and the street height and width ratio maintains a visual balance of about 1:1.

At least in Wang Youjie's opinion, the visual perception of the street scene here is very good. The buildings along the street are either light yellow or pure white, not only the color is uniform, but also the green shade is more bright and vibrant.

This quiet road through Shanghai's century-old history is favored by countless politicians and literati, and behind more than 30 historical buildings, there are stories that make people reverie.

The falling sycamore leaves, the beautiful European-style buildings, the quiet streets, the profound cultural history, and even the air is filled with a strong literary atmosphere...... For tourists, strolling on Wukang Road is like a visual feast.

It can be said that Wukang Road condenses the 100-year history of Shanghai in modern times, and is a "celebrity road" with European-style residences and former residences of celebrities in the Republic of China as the main content.

The many garden villas and bungalows in Wukang Road and its surrounding neighborhoods, as well as the cultural celebrities who once lived here, have contributed to the historical and cultural heritage of Wukang Road. Appreciate these various styles, absorb the strengths of others, and feel the blend of Chinese and Western cultures.

Buli said that every autumn and winter, there are always fallen leaves here. On a sunny day, stepping on the road full of yellow leaves, looking at these historical buildings and mood shops along the way, there is a kind of beauty of time and space, and you can pretend to be in the Republic of China period.

Although it is not long, and it also requires a certain amount of foot strength to walk Wukang Road, its seclusion makes it impossible to give up.

People who have never been to Wukang Road can hardly appreciate the tranquility and elegance of Shanghai's old road. A road that is not too narrow, stretching diagonally, without the slightest hint of ostentation.

The old villas on both sides of the road are exposed in the green shade of the sycamores, and they are quietly enjoying the greenery and sunshine.

Shanghai's old western-style houses are the focus of people all over the world looking for the taste of old Shanghai, and Wukang Road is a Shanghai dream that will not fade.

As a former French Concession, the western-style buildings here are diverse and are known as "condensing the century-old history of Shanghai's modern history". Only by reading the stories of the celebrities behind the bungalows can you understand Wukang Road.

Bu Li smiled and said: "If you want to feel this kind of literary style, it is best to avoid weekends and holidays, and come to Wukang Road at noon when there is sunshine, so that you can really feel the beauty quietly." ”

Even George Bernard Shaw once said: "Walking into Wukang Road, people who can't write poetry want to write poetry, people who can't paint want to paint, and people who can't sing want to sing, it feels wonderful." ”

It's just that the vicissitudes of time and the world have changed. Just like the deep courtyard wall of Zhao Dan's former residence, a lattice iron gate is like a fence between the years.

On this sunny morning, on Wukang Road, Wang Youjie seemed to have discovered more quiet moments dedicated to himself and Buli.
