Back to origin 2

The gray sky above my head, over the dusty road, I can finally stop and stand in the familiar and strange lane. I know that as soon as I take another step, I will return to the "original point" of my life - the old lane that gave birth to me when I was born. That is full of Xiguan style, giving me the first lane of my life.

Walking on the bluestone road, I slowly walked into the depths of the lane. It’s the long-lost Xiguan old house. In front of the crimson scorpion is a three-level shallow stone step. The cat of a family is lying lazily on the stone steps and enjoying the mild sunshine before the noon. Occasionally, the breeze smashed, and the old cat used his front paws to gently lick the beard on his face, and after making a "squeaky" sound, he made a roll and fell asleep. I know that this is the leisure and tranquility that is only in the depths of a big city. And the beginning of my life begins in this piece of peace.

After the door, the wooden door that was originally hidden was opened. Through the faint light in the house, I saw the gray-haired grandfather lying in the rocking chair reading the newspaper. Suddenly, a small ball slammed into the rocking chair, and then a child who was only about two years old went to the rocking chair and took the grandfather’s clothes corner. "Grandpa, the ball!" The old man took off his glasses, smiled and got up, took the child into his arms and said in a whisper: "Hey, where is the ball going here? Is it here? No! Ah...here!" Just listen, a burst of copper The bell-like laughter came into my ears, and I saw that my long-lost grandfather had held me like this. Yes, in the few years when my life was just opened, this old lane carries countless cares from relatives and the unique warmth of Xiguan people.

Manchuria, blue tiles, ancient banyan trees, more and more scenery impacting my visual film, but also hit my heart. However, suddenly, a red, fading but dazzling "demolition" word appeared on the wall of my old house. This "demolition" and the surrounding scene, the atmosphere of peace and harmony is not consistent. At this time, we were awakened: As early as eleven years ago, this old lane has been included in the demolition scope, that is to say: the "origin" of my life will be erased.

Tears rushed out of my eyes, I want to scream: This alley can't be removed, can't be removed! It is not only the place where I was born, but also the place where my gentle character is cultivated. It is the beginning of the warmth of human life. One flower and one grass, one brick and one tile are the beginning of the formation of Lingnan culture. Removing it here is destroying my roots and ruining the roots of hundreds of old Guangzhou neighborhoods! However, who will hear such a cry? The origin of life, the origin of culture and the fast-growing economy seem to have become smaller compared to the buildings that have risen.

This night, I dreamt of a long-lost old one - the difference is that this time when I returned to the "origin" of life, the red "demolition" word disappeared.
