I clearly remember the helplessness of my first visit to this city, and my aversion to adjustment turned into my dissatisfaction with it. All kinds of discomfort from south to north turned into tears dripping on the pillow towel at night ...
Time is cruel, but there is a gentle side after all. She slowly taught me to discover the beauty here, accept and even fall in love with its imperfections. Four years is enough time for me to fall in love with it and this ancient city without modernity.
The quaint city walls silently tell the changing situation of the city. The domineering spirit of the seven dynasties is gone, but it has left a deep impression on it. Not ostentatious or grandiose. This has also deeply affected people living here.
The pace of life here is very slow, and there are no hurried pedestrians on the street. There are not many ways of entertainment, mainly eating. Life is in no hurry, and you take your time to your destination. Maybe you will say that such a life has no passion and such a city has no vitality. But I think there are really many ways to live. Isn't this a kind of happiness?
In the morning, I will see many old people who play sports, such as flying kites, flogging and skating, which were rare before I came to this city. They are not idle at home, they like to walk around, and often see grandpa riding a tricycle on the road with a happy smile on his face. When you take a bus, you often meet old people sitting and young people standing. Love life and refuse to accept old age. I love these grandparents. We often joke that when we are old, we must come here to support the elderly.
It seems that rising prices have no effect here, and taxis from south to north will not exceed 20 yuan; Apples can be sold for less than 1 yuan at the cheapest time. For a southern girl, it's so incredible that I don't want to buy "sky-high" apples every time I go home on holiday ... If the requirements are not too high, school meals 10 yuan a day. All kinds of delicious and inexpensive snacks on the street make you unable to refuse the temptation.
In short, living here does not require too much cost, and happiness can also be bursting. Not tight but full of life breath, so that people in it have more room to discover beauty.
Of course, good and bad are opposites, and the comfort of small cities is always limited. For those who are in high spirits and dream of traveling around the world, it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time, which will kill your fighting spirit; If you like a quiet and leisurely life like me, this will be a good choice for you.
Perhaps, I will really come back here and spend my old age safely.
