What was the situation in Zigong in the past?

?50 years to the end, I read the upper grades of elementary school, then in the dormitory area, I was the "doll head", often leading a few small friends shopping. At that time, I lived in Ziliujing "cow shit mountain", over the present roadside wells old street, new bridge, into the then "new street", the left side of the street there is a youth palace, you can see free "child book", play chess, borrow books, play the game of chess. Chess, borrow books, play ping-pong, that is the world of children's joy, play enough, come out and continue to walk forward, there is a traffic teahouse on the right, next to the alley lane is the long-distance bus station, there is an old man holding a clay horn shouting: "to the Neijiang get on the bus, to Yibin ready! At that time, the bus is the front of the car in the front, carriages in the back, can not sit many people, driving away from a and pour into a, looking at the gravel road to the field of the car, how envious ah! After hanging Huanglou, is the crossroads, which is the symbol of Zigong, when there is no crossroads bridge, is to mu ditch wells T-shaped fork, in front of the main street, that is the famous streets in southern Sichuan, there is "not to the main street did not come to Zigong," the saying that at that time, Zigong, in addition to the Chengdu-Chongqing outside the oldest three, for the south of the center of the deservedly, to wells of salt, Chemical industry is famous, geography books have photos. Main Street is mostly for the Republic of China when the building, adobe structure, the walls with bamboo sheets made of plaster, near the river side of the two-storey "footstools", the street is not wide, but the stores adjacent to a wide range of commodities, crowded, bustling, Halal Church Gate Beef Museum, sweet store, Qing Rong Sen, full of spring, the Post and Telecommunications Bureau, Hardware Company, Xinhua Bookstore, satin store, Candy store ------ have everything, the noise, the sound of hawking, we then purse no money, can be described as "shy", but also only look, up to 10 cents to the sweet store to drink a cup of orange water with a block of ice with a straw, even if the heart is satisfied, called "no money for nothing! "I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that. On the main street, you can go up the stairs to the newly liberated, the magnificent "Palace of Workers' Culture" to stroll around, look at the newspaper, the gatekeeper also let us in, the workers with a labor union membership card, proudly in and out. Now the Palace of Workers' Culture, Youth Palace are rented to private individuals, I do not know where it is. From the Palace of Culture out, across the street to the "Xinhua Bookstore" sneak, there are good-looking books, just sit on the ground and look, look fascinated, that is a kind of enjoyment ah! Out and then walk forward to the stone tower on the mouth of the largest department store in Zigong, bungalows, what are sold, tourists, it is opposite the department store building was later built in the 80's, a few years of red-hot, there are large supermarkets, the business is depressed, and is now doing private gynecological hospital. Further ahead to the Three Saints Bridge, there is a northern flavor dumpling restaurant, Yinshi noodles, dragon hands, Xie Liangfen, etc., the street wafting fragrance, mouth-watering. In front of the left hand is the "Salt Industry History Museum", that is the Shaanxi salt merchants to repair the hall, early liberation was used as a municipal government, is one of the attractions of Zigong. Finally to the people's movie theater, that is the Zigong children must go shopping, the film has a student field, 10 cents a ticket, I love to see the battle story film, the film is now a classic old film, see the hammer will, motivate people, so people will never forget. After strolling all the way down the main street, the busiest place in Xinjiezi, hit the road back home.

When I was in Xinjiang, I often dreamed of shopping in Zigong, always thinking, when can I go back to Zigong to shop on the main street, can go to the Temple of the King to drink tea on the good, after 20 years of work in Xinjiang, my partner and I finally transferred back to Zigong as I wished, in the suburbs after 8 years, transferred to the edge of the city, and then transferred to the center of the city, the dormitory in Huidong, rounded up the wish, a big circle and back to the original place from the Zilujing, trajectory zero, the journey! Ten thousand miles, experience sweet and sour. Today's New Street, Main Street, has long been gone, into the memory of history, replaced by Xiongfei Holiday Plaza, Wenzhou Mall, near the River Road stores have been demolished, turned into a beautiful green belt, the business circle seems to have moved to Oriental Plaza, five-star store, Huidong area, but the oldest a little bit of people know that in the past there was a brilliant Zigong Main Street, New Street.
