Shanghai today is unfamiliar to Zhang Nan, for both lifetimes.

Different from the earlier economic take-off of the more southern coastal areas, the whole 1980s, with little development and lag, was officially announced on April 18, 1990 as the symbol and starting point for the development and opening of Pudong. A new stage of historical development.

   The previous ten years were almost wasted. In the process of modernization, it seems to have been left far behind by Yangcheng, Pengcheng and other places.

   In the past five or six years, Shanghai has been catching up!

  From Pudong to Puxi, from underground to air, machines roared everywhere, and the whole city was like a huge construction site.

   Metro Line 1, Inner Ring Elevated, North-South Elevated, Yangpu Bridge, Fengpu Bridge, Oriental Pearl Tower, Jinmao Building...

   plus the Sunshine Star Building that was not available in the previous life!

   The major traffic arteries and landmark buildings in Shanghai are gradually taking shape, and construction is in full swing one by one.

   "One year a year, a big change in three years." The people in Shanghai have been listening and watching almost every day in the past few years. This once the largest city in the Far East is undergoing rapid changes.

   But Zhang Nan is really strange to Shanghai City, which is undergoing tremendous changes in this city, except for the part of the Bund.

   I am familiar with Shanghai City in the middle and late 1980s, and Shanghai City after 2005. In the fifteen years of the city's great development, I have hardly touched it.

   It's not that I haven't been to Shanghai during this period, but that I haven't arrived. Every time I'm a hurried passer-by, I don't have time to take a closer look.

   Familiar in the 1980s. It was because the buyers were often on business trips. Sometimes they would come to Shanghai for business. Once they were free, they would always go shopping. They would buy rare goods that can only be bought in Shanghai, or transit.

   Some of the trains to the Central Plains and the West did not exist in the capital of Hangzhou in the 1980s, and they could only transit to Shanghai.

   As soon as the late 1980s and 1990s entered, the people of Yanxian liked to run to the south, not the original Qionghai or Pengcheng and Yangcheng.

   Looking at the economy of Guangdong, the attractiveness of Shanghai is greatly reduced, and the address location is less than that of Shanghai on the northeast side.

After    came the hapless years in my previous life, almost all of them ran around Central Plains and Guanzhong, but Shanghai never came!

   Later, I waited until 1995 and came here a few times, but basically it was a transfer. Every trip started from Yanxian and took a one-night long-distance bus to the Shanghai Railway Station.

   The car with the backrest is not a sleeper, and it arrives at the train station with a backache and rushes to buy a ticket like a war.

   After that, either spend money to find a bed in the rudimentary rest area of ​​the station, or find a place to rest in the waiting room, and wait for the green leather train to the destination.

   Come here, but the station does not leave.

   It's dawn, who cares about what the Shanghai Zhang looked like at that time!

   This kind of life came to a halt around 1997. Most of the antiques business started to be based in the local area, selling as far away as Hangzhou. However, the purchase channels in Henan and other places are basically home delivery, and you can't run it yourself.

   The road was opened before.

   What was the Shanghai City Mayor at that time?

   Zhang Nan doesn't know.

   It’s all after 2005. This huge city has all the elements of an international metropolis, but it is no longer the city that Zhang Nan is familiar with.

   Overlooking the large construction site of Lujiazui in Pudong at a height of 300 meters in the morning, it was a stranger, different from the Lujiazui in my memory.

   As for the dinner was arranged at the Shanghai Building, it is still different from a distance near the Bund.

   After night, the traffic flowed like weaving, and the buildings on the Bund were all lit up.

   and the familiar Bund in my memory twenty years later...

   is still different!

  土

   kind of.

   Compared with the 1980s

   is modern and fashionable again.

   Standing on the observation deck on the top floor after the meal, looking at the night view of the Bund, thinking of catching some similar factors in memory, it seemed difficult.

   Looking across the Huangpu River, the lights of the Oriental Pearl Tower are beautiful, but as for other places, large and small construction sites, the lights are scattered, and some buildings under construction should still be under construction at night.

   Feeling that someone is approaching behind them, there is no voice. Alyosha and Lin Ming, who should be standing behind them, did not respond at all.

   Listening to the footsteps is my sister.

   It was Zhang Hui as expected, walked to her side, and asked: "What are you looking at?"

   "I was thinking about something, those from ten years ago. It's kind of strange, just like yesterday's in the blink of an eye.

  I just took office that year. It was the first time to follow Lao Ying to Shanghai to learn how to run business. I also went to the Bund to see the wonders. "

   said, Zhang Nan also pointed to the Waibaidu Bridge below.

   "That's it, on the west side of the Waibaidu Bridge on the south side, I remember there was a trash can, just by the street lamp, and there was a place to throw cigarette butts above it.

   There are a few people smoking there, and the aunt wearing a red armband is staring from a distance...

   I also smoked a root there, not dare to throw cigarette butts.

   is exactly the same as yesterday. I remember clearly that I was still standing there and looking over here, thinking that this building was so tall and big, and I saw someone watching the scenery on the rooftop.

   At that time, I wondered what life the people upstairs would usually do, whether they were completely different from ordinary people..."

   Zhang Hui didn't interrupt her younger brother talking to herself, but just listened quietly.

   Zhang Nan seems not to be afraid of heights, his eyes are fixed on the position of the trash can in his memory: the steel frame structure with the bridge is used as a reference, and the position cannot be wrong.

   It's empty right now, but the street lamp next to it is still there.

   It's like seeing who I used to be, and looking up to my side across time and space, it feels very strange.

   "Anan, don't keep staring at the next place." My sister's voice came in my ears.

"what"

   "Don't always stare at the next place. I heard that this is the same as don't always stare at the water. The more you look, the more evil you get." Zhang Hui repeated.

"Oh."

   Zhang Nan retracted his gaze, turned around and took a look at the side.

   The two bodyguards are just behind, and a little further to the right is the huge Nikolai Valuyev. Under the light, he seems to be looking at the Russian consulate across the Waibaidu Bridge.

   This is at the observation deck, and there is no need for three meat shields to surround it. They just do what they love for the time being.

   "I have been to Xijiao Park tomorrow, and I plan to go home.

   Sister, why don't you go back together"

   Zhang Hui smiled ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and said: "I'm not as free as you, there is still something to deal with here, and I will go back with your brother-in-law in a few days.

   By the way, you, a foreign leader, are special enough. I have never heard of a foreign leader who visits Shanghai, and in the end he wants to visit the zoo. "

   This request caused the Shanghai-listed government to be stunned a few days ago!

   Zhang Nan said in a serious manner: "I am trying to reduce the trouble here. Besides, my visit will deceive ghosts. I am not interested in other places. I just want to take the children to play..."

  ……

   The next morning, tourists and citizens who visited Xijiao Park found that today was really special. Starting from the gate, there were police everywhere.

   It’s not forbidden to visit, just walking around, often blocked by government officials and police, reminding important foreign guests to visit somewhere in front, please wait a while before you can pass.

   It was almost noon, and the restaurant near the middle of the zoo was closed and temporarily closed to the public.

   Tourists who originally wanted to eat and didn't care about the consumption of the restaurant would not be hungry. The garden set up a few large sheds in the woods and lawns a little further away. There were boxed lunches for sale, and some tables, chairs and benches were temporarily placed.

   In the restaurant, only Zhang Nan was eating with the children. I came here to find memories.

   The memory of the two generations, when I was a child, my father took himself to eat in this restaurant, seated by the west wall.

   After becoming a father by himself in the last life, he also visited this restaurant with his daughter, still sitting against the western wall, this will be the same.

   It’s been too long, and many memories have been blurred, let alone the changes in the city, but this restaurant and this wall are still there.

   Zhang Nan is a nostalgic person.
