In the encirclement of CUHK, Guangwai and Guangzhong, there is a famous village called Beigang Village.

Before GOGO Xintiandi was built, it was still a small village, because the roads were muddy on rainy days and the temporary restaurants opened by the roadside were also very rustic. Except for students from nearby schools, there are almost no outsiders coming and going every day. Perhaps at that time, Sui Shi Cun in Beiting was much more famous than Beigang Village at that time. Beigang, like a quiet girl, has been unknown.

Later, the road in Beigang Village was repaired, and savvy developers also built a new GOGO Xintiandi in the open space opposite the CUHK canteen, a good place for food and leisure. After less than two years of development, Beigang Village finally waited for the decline of Beiting, just like a grown-up girl, youthful and lively.

Beigang went from ruins to prosperity, which also recorded the ups and downs of our youth.

I still remember the happy chicken 13 yuan, with crispy skin and a glass of iced coke, which was the best memory of the summer after playing the ball.

I still remember that in Quanfa Supermarket at the intersection of Beigang Village, the scales in the small pharmacy of the supermarket were often trampled under the feet of female students who were not interested in buying medicine, and then left with a smile, trying to catch ducks on the shelves.

I still remember that there was a hillside across the street from Guangwai Dormitory. There was once a brilliant food stall on the top of the hill, where you could sing, drink and play table tennis, and you could meet a classmate's birthday party. In the eyes of relatively simple classmates, it was the best place for classmates to abandon their lives. Unfortunately, these have become our memories, buried in the grave of youth.

The passage of time has also taken away the memories of youth and the memories of a group of people around us.

Returning to Beigang Village at the beginning of this year, I feel that it has changed too much now. It's not as messy as before. On the contrary, it makes people feel that it is as neat as a domesticated sheep. Maybe I left alone at that time, without the carnival of a group of people and the passionate youth of the past.

In the past few years after graduating from college, no one knows when, and those good friends who used to be familiar with each other have no contact anymore. I think, maybe it's because of work, maybe I've been silent for too long, and years have turned us into the once different self in the eyes of others. It won't be a bit strange to meet again. I don't know how to say hello and what topic to talk about.

How many years of our youth has Beigang Village carried? It was not until we got out of the campus that we finally understood that we were all used to escaping from harshness. Perhaps the years have not honed themselves into their ideal selves, perhaps because there is a gap in life, so some people choose to be invisible, and some even choose to forget each other and never meet again.

So, I also became the person who was not used to taking the initiative to contact.

But there are some things, some people I still remember, I still remember the agreement of that decade, 202 1 meeting you in Gulangyu.

Maybe after so many years, the ten-year contract has long been forgotten by some people and becomes meaningless. Maybe one day, these will be buried silently in my heart and will not be mentioned again.

Maybe at that time, we really began to get used to not contacting each other, and the habit really disappeared forever.
