Change of mailbox

? If it hadn't been for sunan293' s reminder, I hadn't noticed that the mailbox opposite No.4 Hospital had quietly recovered its original appearance a while ago.

? The convenience of internet and communication tools makes us gradually move away from writing letters. I forgot the last time I sent a letter myself. The last time was two years ago, on my way from work, I dropped an official letter into the mailbox of the manager of the company's finance department. On weekdays, I have to deal with a lot of emails in my mailbox, but they are all emails.

? I think of my big cousin in Tongli, Suzhou. Before she retired, she worked in the town post office. At that time, this job made her beautiful and everyone in the town knew her. The postmaster at that time is now in the sunset. But even so, the boss's shelf can't be put down. My mother sent my uncle in Hangzhou some preserved Chinese new year goods. Last year, the post office express arrived in four days. I walked for ten days this year. It was only after the inquiry in Nanjing that I found that I had slept in the post office in Hangzhou for six more days.

? In fact, being able to write letters by hand is also an elegant thing, which can narrow the distance between the two sides and make readers feel close. You can also practice writing letters, at least for now. My second cousin in Lili, Suzhou, personally wrote to contact customers when doing business. She said that people can know my sincerity when they see my handwriting. The result is really like this. Quality and sincerity make her business very prosperous. My sister in Wang Ping Town Hall used to like to write letters. After my uncle died, she often wrote letters to exchange thoughts and feelings with my father. My father treasures all the letters my uncle wrote to him. Once, my father turned out these letters and showed them to me. I found that in the fifties, some envelopes were even posted by my uncle himself. I also found a rare stamp on an envelope.

? Besides, the mailbox opposite the No.4 hospital. The new appearance is changed to the old one, and the square mailbox delivered separately from the local port is changed back to the cylindrical shape. At first, I thought it was just the newly renovated Huangpu Road to show the flavor of the Republic of China, and I changed back to the old mailbox. Later, I saw some netizens on the Internet and found this change in other parts of the city. For example, the netizen "Tsinghua Campus 720" posted on the Xici Temple that he was surprised to see a long-lost green mailbox when he passed the intersection of Zhenghe South Road in Hexi, Nanjing. In the words of netizen "Tsinghua Campus 720", he suddenly felt like an old friend reunited after a long separation. "Tsinghua Campus 720" is a feeling. He received a letter from an 88-year-old middle school Chinese teacher. He knows that old people can't surf the Internet and send short messages. He is still used to writing letters to friends, because this feeling is incomparable by ordinary modern means.

? I saw that the mailbox in the attached picture of the article is exactly the same as our mailbox here. Not long ago, I myself saw many mailboxes of this style in the whole street of Chengxian Street. The mailbox on Huangpu Road seems unlikely to be an old thing.

? Wu Hongying from the Operation Safety Department of Nanjing Post Office said: The number of posting boxes currently used in Nanjing is 349, which is really less than before. The main reasons for the decrease of mailboxes are as follows: First, the utilization rate of mailboxes has become lower, and due to the development of modern communication, there are fewer and fewer ways of conventional paper letters, and some mailboxes in Nanjing even have less than 10 letters a month; Secondly, in the process of road construction in Nanjing, damaged mailboxes also occur from time to time, and some mailboxes are sold artificially after being damaged. However, she said that in order to meet the requirements of some citizens for the use of posting boxes, they still added posting boxes in some areas with high utilization rate. The new mailbox that appeared in Hexi this time is a new type of mailbox. Compared with the old mailbox, it is made of better material, stronger, corrosion-resistant, and the appearance is also Republic of China style, which conforms to the historical and cultural atmosphere of Nanjing.

? Whether it is a thing of the past or not, at least this mailbox makes us feel nostalgic. I remember in the past, at home, I often bought some 4-cent and 8-cent stamps and pressed them under the glass counter of my desk. When necessary, I tear off one, seal the envelope and paste it. If there are photos inside, write the words "There are photos inside, please don't fold them" on the back of the envelope and put them in the mailbox opposite the No.4 Hospital. The postman who opens the mailbox is the one who serves our area specially. The postman is short, thin and responsible, and has a good relationship with the residents of No.4 Hospital. He served us until he retired with his apprentice. It's a pity that I don't know his last name, but his appearance has never been forgotten.
