One of China's linguistic aesthetics is that there are a lot of vivid adverbs. We say that articles should be written vividly, and many adverbs are vivid themselves, such as hurry, hurry and hurry. There is a catch-up word in adverbs, and this catch-up word is a verb. Among the verbs formed by the word "catch up", the most common ones are to catch up with the car, the horse, the cattle and sheep, the fair, the temple fair, the exam, the mountains and the sea. When I was a child, I was most familiar with going to the market.
In some places in the south of China, the fair is also called the fair, and both the fair and the fair mean the fair. Anyone who travels to Guilin and rafts on the Lijiang River must know that there is a pier in the Dawei ancient Chinese characters market. Dawei was a big gathering, which later developed into an ancient town of Dawei.
Ancient temple fairs were also fairs, so they were called fair fairs. Temple fairs are not held all year round, but only once a year, but they are large in scale and later evolved into agricultural and commercial exchanges. In the 1980s, commodity exchange meetings were expanded, no longer confined to temples, but moved to the edge of cities and even cities, and there were commodity exchange meetings in rural markets every year.
I was born in a lucky age, but after all, I have no memory of the village collections in the late 1970s, or my memory is not deep. One is that I was young and had a shallow memory, and the other is that the market in the 1970s was relatively dull. In the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s, private enterprises were not allowed. The main body of rural fairs is supply and marketing cooperatives. Although the market still exists, they mainly sell vegetables, fruits, snacks and breakfast. The eighties and nineties were a period of unprecedented prosperity for the fair. Many fruit and vegetable markets or commercial streets have sprung up in cities, and many facade houses have been built in rural markets. However, the good times did not last long. With a large number of rural population, especially young people flowing into cities, rural parties have gradually become chicken ribs, as if returning to the depression scene of the 1950s and 1960s.
The rural collections in my memory include the late 1970s and the whole 1980s. I left my hometown in the autumn of 1990, and only went back to my hometown in the winter vacation of 1990 and the winter vacation of 199 1 to see the final prosperity and prosperity of the village.

Of all the natural villages, I think the best is my mountain village, with shallow mountains, streams, large ponds, deep wells, ancient trees, old houses and, most importantly, ancient collections. The mountain is shallow and good, and it is appropriate to climb deep; The stream is small and good, so don't worry about crossing the river; This pond is big and nice. Besides the scenery, there are big fish in the pond. The well is deep, the well is deep, and the spring is chilly; Trees are ancient and good, and ancient trees, such as Shenmu, can shelter villagers; The house is old and good, with a century-old house, ancient traditions and ancestral gods. The market is a platform for the village to communicate with the outside world and meet the needs of life. Although every village goes to the market, only a few villages are close to the market, and my mountain village is one of the few villages close to the market.
It is called the market because most villages are far away from the market, and their lives are busy and heavy, so they need to hurry. Most of the collection in the village is dew collection, so we can't catch up with it with a slight delay. By ten o'clock, the assembly was completely dispersed and the dew was dry. For the village gathering near our village, although it is also called fair, the pace is very slow and leisurely, so there is no need to rush. Only when you go to a farther town, sometimes you will panic and calculate the time.
Generally speaking, there are very few village collections, which can be described as very few. The collection of ancient villages generally exists in Bao, which is like a modern village, but its area is almost as large as that of modern villages. In ancient times, after Li and Bao were divided into towns and villages in modern times, the ancient books were generally collected in towns and villages, and only a few Bao books were integrated into village collections. However, the initial formation process of the market is mostly due to dense population. Only when there is a market can there be a street. Many towns and even cities have developed from ancient collections.
The formation of ancient collections has two factors, one is that it can gather a large number of people around it, and the other is the convenience of logistics and transportation. In ancient times, people and logistics once went by land and once by water. People often go by land, because walking is free, there are often post stations on the road, and there are many shops and shops along the way; Bulk goods are mostly transported by water, and shipping is heavier than cars. People usually refer to the road with post stations, gates or checkpoints as the official road, while Li and Bao's post stations are mostly located on the official road, and the post stations are also located in Li and Bao's territory, so the market is formed in the post station or Li and Bao's resident.
For the growing market, in addition to official roads, there are generally waterways that can be navigable, and it is difficult for the land market to develop into a large town. Where there is a river, there is a shore. Where there is a river, there are residents. A pedestrian road will naturally form on the shore, and this road along the river can be turned into a road, so that waterway and land can develop in parallel.
After the formation of large market street, there are many merchants. In order to prevent bandits and soldiers, even walls and gates will be built to form forts. At least one side of the stockade in these big streets is a river, and some are even surrounded by mountains and rivers. A more complete defense is to build Zhaizi River like a moat-some Zhaizi Rivers are natural ditches themselves.
Guang (Zhou) Huang (Zhou) ancient road, there are three official roads passing through Guangshan County from the Southern and Northern Dynasties to the Qing Dynasty. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, there were two ancient roads of Guanghuang, mainly along Bailuyuan, a tributary of Huaihe River, to Jianghuai watershed. An ancient road of Guang-Huang in Ming and Qing Dynasties, mainly along the Yellow River, a tributary of Huaihe River, to the Jianghuai watershed. Xinji Town in Xinxian County, formerly known as Xindian, is located at Changtanli and Changtanbao Station in Guangshan County. By the middle of Qing dynasty, it developed into a large collection and changed its name to a new collection; At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, two gentry, Zeng and Liu, built walls and doors here, named Xinjizhai. 193 1 February, Wang Shusheng led a regiment with guns and captured Xinji village, which was full of difficulties. Later, a tunnel was dug to transport a coffin explosive to the foot of the village wall, and then the village wall collapsed and Xinji Village was conquered. Lijiazhai, 60 miles south of Xinyang, was not breached by the Nian Army at the end of the Qing Dynasty. Sanlidian village, which faces Xinyang south across the river, has also built strong city walls and gates. After the Japanese army captured Xinyang City in June 1938+00, it stationed troops in Sanlidian Village. Xinjizhai, Lijiazhai and Sanlidian villages all developed by post stations and markets. The market is near the river and on Juguan Road, with convenient land and water transportation. National Highway 107 passes Sanlidian Village and Lijiazhai, Han Jing Railway has Lijiazhai Station, and Wushengguan is next to Lijiazhai.

Shenliuqiao ancient collection in Shenliuqiaobao station, there is a small river. The old Shenliuqiao Fort was about the size of a town today, but when the new county was established in 1932, Shenliuqiao Fort was not completely transferred from Guangshan County to the new county. Therefore, when the townships were merged into villages after liberation, the Shenliu Bridge originally zoned to Xinxian County was reduced to a village, and the township government was located in Balifan Market. Fortunately, however, the ancient collection of Shenliu Bridge has been preserved as a village collection, and there may only be such a village collection in the town.
The three markets around Shenliuqiao Market are all township markets or town markets, namely Balifan Township Market, Wan Hu Township Market and Paopihe Town Market. These three township markets all have waterway ports without exception. The Yellow River is a tributary of the Huaihe River, which flows through Wan Hu Township and three counties. Bopi River, which flows through Bopi River Town, was built into Bopi River Reservoir on 1972. Changzhou River flows through Balifan Township (200 1 Zhengai) and flows into Pobeihe Reservoir, which was built upstream of 1972.
Flowing through Shenliuqiao Market is an unnamed river, which flows into Pobei River (reservoir). At least in the early Ming Dynasty, the Shenliuqiao market has been formed, which can be known from the records of some local family genealogies. Shenliu Bridge is named after a bridge. The ancient bridge was built in the 11th year of Dade in Yuan Dynasty, and the north side of the bridge formed a market. Within one kilometer around the market, there are at least four big villages, namely Dingli Bay, Dayuwan, Caiwa and Zhangwa (including Qianzhangwa). Further away, there are larger villages such as Songxujia and Tuzhuang. In the 1980s, there were 400 to 500 people in these villages and more than 700 people in Dingli Bay.
The reason why the river that flows through the Shenliuqiao market has no name is mainly because it does not directly pass through or surround a village, but is 200-300 meters away from each village, because the village is located on the mountain instead of the river. In the mountainous area, the fields by the river are very precious. In the local area, streams are generally named after villages or village surnames. Even if Dingli Bay is called "Dawan", it can't be called Dingli River. So this nameless river is called "Hegou"; "River ditch" is a general term for local streams.
The river ditch can be navigable to the broken river and then to the Huaihe River via the Yellow River. Therefore, after the formation of the Shenliuqiao market, there is no problem with water transportation. After the completion of the Pepe River Reservoir, it is said that there is a waterway of 18 miles from Ji Gu to the dam pier of the reservoir. The original Si Wuli Road, which used to be the old channel of the river ditch, has been submerged in the reservoir.
Four or five miles upstream of the river ditch were terraced, and after four or five miles downstream were flooded by the reservoir, the whole river ditch was only two or three miles long. Because of the construction of the reservoir, the village near the lower reaches of the original river ditch was moved away, and a piece of Wang Yang was set up in the north of Shenliuqiao, and the market area spanned two counties, so the administrative village of Shenliuqiao decided to move the market to Qianzhangwa Bay, where there was a newly built road, and the supply and marketing cooperative was built at the entrance of Qianzhangwa Bay.
It's not funny to say, when the new county was established from Guangshan County, Shenliu Qiaobao and Shenliu Qiaoji were split in two like a piece of fat. More than half of Gushichang Street is in Xinxian County, and the other half is in Guangshan County. The street spans two counties. After the abolition of Guji, the original Market Street became two villages, one was Shenliuqiao Bay in Xinxian County and the other was Guangxinwan in Guangshan County.
Although there was no market in Guangxin Bay, in the 1980s, some families privately opened a dealership or a meat stall, which was cheaper than the Shenliuqiao market.
From my village, walk about 150 meters north to a highland near Hegou, which is a place name called Xiaomiao, and then walk about 50 meters to Hegou. Crossing the three stepping stones on the wide river ditch, less than 200 meters northeast is Shenliuqiao Street; If you go north along the riverbank, you will reach a new bridge built on a river ditch about150m, then go straight along the riverbank for100m, you will reach the ancient bridge of Shenliu Bridge, and then cross the ancient bridge for 50m to reach Ji Gu Street of Shenliu Bridge. The main street in Ji Gu is about two or three hundred meters long, and the pavement is paved with blue stones. On both sides of the street are houses that have become residential houses. Most houses have windows facing the street, which formed shop windows in the 1980s, and most of them sell fireworks. Cross Ji Gu Street to the ferry, take a boat to the Popi River Pier and transfer to the shuttle bus. To the south, you can go to Wan Hu Township and Xinxian County, to the north, to Paopihe Town, and then to Guangshan County and Xinyang City.
Yuzufen is located in the back mountain of Shenliuqiao Ancient Collection. It is the tomb of the fourth generation of Henan Yu, who originated from the Yu family in Changmao, Jiangxi, that is, the first generation of Yu, who moved to Shenliuqiaoji, and was chased by Zhu Yuanzhang as the grandson of the young Yu Siming. Up to my generation, I have lived in the collection of Shenliuqiao for 23 generations. In the late 1980s, the Cai family in Shenliuqiaowan built a house near Yuzufen, which triggered a small-scale struggle between Cai and Yu. Cai's master was killed and Yu was imprisoned.

When I was born, it was the year when the Popei River Reservoir was built. The collection of Shenliuqiao has been reduced to dew collection, surrounded by three powerful township markets. Shenliuqiao Village Fundraising Party and Wan Hu Township Fundraising Party are held every two days, Balifan Township Fundraising Party and Pobeihe Town Fundraising Party are held once a day.
After liberation, the new village is located at the entrance of the original Zhangwawan village. There is only a small street less than 100 meters long, but it is usually very wide-open-air movies can be shown, and it is a bit crowded in the twelfth lunar month. The most conspicuous and unparalleled thing in the market is a row of houses in the supply and marketing cooperative, not counting their backyard and warehouse. As far as the houses of supply and marketing cooperatives are concerned, they are all brick houses with a one-meter wide veranda and three or four steps.
The entire Shenliuqiao Brigade has three magnificent buildings, one is the Brigade Department, the other is the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, and the third is the Shenliuqiao Middle School. Most of the houses in the village are adobe walls. Although there are many brick walls of ancient buildings in Dingli Bay, most of them were left before the Qing Dynasty, which is rather shabby. Generally, three or five households live in a big house. Although Shenliuqiao Middle School is a brick house, it is said that many big blue bricks are grave bricks, and it can be seen that some bricks still have white lime. The brigade headquarters is a huge quadrangle, but the rooms in the front row are all small red bricks and glazed tiles, which is the most magnificent. I can't remember whether the facade of the supply and marketing cooperative is a big red brick or a small red brick, glazed tile or blue tile, but it always ranks second.
The appearance room of the supply and marketing cooperative is divided into two parts, one part is the purchasing station, and the other part sells all kinds of tight items. Tightness is fashion, and fashionable things are only available in supply and marketing cooperatives, because many materials are supplied by tickets, and high prices can be obtained without tickets. This is called tightness. When I wrote "Hometown Records" a few years ago, I knew that there were more than 20 kinds of goods supplied by ticket in the 1960s, including sugar, cigarettes, wine, pork, cloth, knitting, cakes, watches, bicycles, shoes, matches, soap, soap, enamel cups, enamel pots, batteries, mirrors, cattail fans, mats, water bottles, nails and so on. The "tickets" I saw when I was a child seemed to be only cloth tickets and food stamps, but the supply and marketing cooperatives did not sell grain and no longer sold pork. Instead, the acquisition station buys eggs, fish, shrimp, meat rolls, turtles, snakes and so on. And agricultural products such as cotton, hemp, castor, peanut, sesame, soybean, red bean and mung bean. And Chinese herbal medicines such as Peucedanum, Adenophora adenophora, Plantago asiatica, honeysuckle, kudzu root and the like.
Village supply and marketing cooperatives do not sell watches, bicycles, radios and other valuables. The main commodities are sugar, cigarettes, wine, non-staple food, cloth, shoes, water bottles, mirrors, cattail leaf fans, flashlights, batteries, matches, soaps, soaps, towels, washbasins, pots, bowls, chopsticks, pots, kitchen knives, scissors, needles, threads, iron drums and scissors. Personally, when I was a child, I often went to the counter of the supply and marketing cooperative to buy candy, no matter how much it cost. When I grew up, I bought flashlights, batteries, bottles, bottle stoppers, matches, salt, soap and soap, and helped my father buy cigarettes and break up wine.
There is a deliveryman who delivers goods to the village supply and marketing cooperative. He pulls a cart with a donkey and transports the goods purchased by the village supply and marketing cooperative to the village every day, and then transports the goods to be sold in the village to the village supply and marketing cooperative. When the garage is empty, the delivery man sits on the edge of the shelf car and shouts "hello" and "drive" while swinging his whip, which is very comfortable.
Adjacent to the supply and marketing cooperative is the health center, with three Chinese medicine practitioners, two of whom are about sixty or seventy years old and one is about forty years old. Three Chinese medicine practitioners take turns to go to work, but people who go to the market to see a doctor always want the oldest old Chinese medicine practitioner to come for consultation, but they don't trust Chinese medicine practitioners in their forties. Before the establishment of the hospital, two old Chinese medicine practitioners were barefoot doctors, walking in the countryside and knowing many people. Doctors are usually at home and prepare their own medicine boxes. If someone encounters an emergency at night, they still need to make house calls.
Opposite the supply and marketing cooperative and the health center is a row of low-rise houses, in front of which are meat stalls, fried stalls, tofu stalls and dried noodles stalls. It seems that these can be privately owned. In 1970s, local married daughters celebrated their parents' birthdays. The three most common birthday presents are dried noodles, fried dough sticks and pork, filled with a bamboo basket, and of course chicken, duck, fish and eggs. Tofu is essential for rural people to entertain guests. After all, meat is expensive, but the types of tofu are water tofu, thousand pieces (dried tofu), stinky tofu rolls, bean curd residue, soybean oil and spicy tofu pieces. In the era of poverty, there is a saying in the countryside that "eat tofu in the next year". Tofu is simply a special dish between meat dishes and vegetarian dishes. It can't be served or served. In fried food, the vegetable corner and thousands of fried dough sticks should be eaten hot, but fried dough sticks, fried dough sticks and steamed dumplings can be stored at home for a long time. Old people use cold fried dough sticks to soak boiled water or hot porridge. Small fried dough sticks and steamed dumplings are children's favorite. Later, I ate the big twist in Tianjin, and it felt far less delicious than the small twist in my hometown.
As for dried noodles, it is a must for every family. Noodles are also called longevity noodles, and "egg noodles" are standard for birthdays, regardless of the elderly or children. In addition, when guests come home or ask someone to do business, they usually ask someone to spend the afternoon and the evening, and it is inevitable that they will have to go to Lamian Noodles. Rolling noodles is not enough, and it takes too much time to wrap jiaozi. Therefore, people who want to hire people to work or help for a long time, such as building a house, usually invite people to make noodles at home when they need a lot of noodles.
In addition, firewood, vegetables, melons and fruits, egg baskets, duck egg baskets, fish, shrimp, turtles, chickens and ducks are all produced by farmers themselves or salvaged in river ponds. There was no breakfast stand for the village party, and there were no steamed buns, soybean milk, jiaozi, noodles and porridge, which only appeared in the 1980s.

The market didn't prosper until the 1980s, and supply and marketing cooperatives could close down because they ran away directly. Overnight, the low-rise houses opposite the supply and marketing cooperatives were renovated, all lit up and turned into dealerships. Breakfast shops have also appeared, street vendors have also appeared, and even barber shops, credit cooperatives and scalper shops have also appeared; Unsteady temporary vendors originally formed a fixed area, including aquatic products area, vegetable area and firewood area, all of which were crowded into the main road. The market expanded into a T-street.
Almost half of the families in Qianzhangwa Village are in business. Grandma's two younger brothers have opened dealerships, and some have built houses for rent. Residents of nearby villages also came to set up stalls. The stall is not paved on the ground, but a bamboo mat is placed on two benches, and items are placed on the bamboo mat. Bamboo is simple and easy to make, and every family has it. It consists of more than a dozen thin bamboos connected in series with hemp rope. In summer, you can sleep on it to enjoy the cool, or you can move to the yard or the threshing floor to dry the crops. When not in use, you can roll it up and stand in the corner.
Dealers in the village also appeared. In my village, only 500 meters away from the market, grandpa opened a dealership. I once doubted whether grandpa's car dealership could make money. Facts have proved that human beings are all inert, and most people would rather spend a little more money than walk a few more steps or save the time to go to the market. Grandpa's dealership only sells a few daily necessities, alcohol and tobacco, and the main income comes from alcohol and tobacco, although there are only 50 or 60 people in my village. In the 1980s, when grain wine usually cost only four yuan a bottle and a pack of cigarettes usually cost more than one yuan, grandpa's garage was handed down for three generations, from grandpa to aunt, from aunt to aunt, and from aunt to sister until they got married.
After the market became popular, many people went to the market purely for fun, especially for idle old people or children. Even for children who have work to do in the morning, such as herding cattle, they will find time to go to the market. Watching the fun is one of the few inherent pleasures in China. Those children who go to school through the market must have wasted a little time in the market. Years later, that memory was not a waste of time, but a visit and sightseeing.
The headmaster always passes by the market when he meets at school. When he gave a lecture at a school meeting, he told us what he saw in a market to prove the importance of learning extracurricular knowledge. A beggar begging for money with Allegro sang to a vendor who refused to give money: "You respect me as Yang Liulang, and I respect you as the Eight Immortals King." What is the relationship between Yang Liulang and the Eight Immortals? Yang Liulang is the brother-in-law of the Eight Immortals, so fuck you!
It seems that after the market became hot, those beggars also became Jianghu artists. They come to the village to beg, either playing allegro or playing erhu, or with a harmless snake around their necks and a starling who can learn people's words on their shoulders. For such beggars, children are welcome, they will not drive dogs to bite people, and they will give more food. Sometimes I deliberately scoop a bowl full of rice in my hand and let the beggar sing in front of the door for a while.
There are two old people in the village who must watch every episode. They are brothers, both in their seventies, and they haven't been in touch for most of their lives. When the younger brother was arrested, he entrusted his wife and children to his brother, but every time he went to the market and sold his brother-in-law empty-handed, he would bring a piece of meat back. Every time I go to the market, my brother always carries a bundle of bamboo on his back. When he sells money, he will cut a piece of meat and drink a bottle of wine. During the winter and summer vacations, he often takes two grandchildren with him, and sometimes carries bamboo to Paopihe Town to sell. His two grandsons live across the street from me and often brag to me about how good the market town of Bopi River is, which is many times larger than Shenliuqiao Town. However, I have never been to the market town of Bopi River, because I have to take a boat and pay for it. Later, my sister often followed the villagers to parties in Pubeihe Town, and sold some fruits to parties in Shenliuqiao. During the summer vacation, I often go to the dock to meet my sister. The hardest thing to open a dealership is my aunt. At that time, there was no bicycle at home. In order to save money, she often went to Wan Hu Township, more than 20 miles away, to pick up the goods. Generally speaking, she chose Sunday, with her uncle who is six years older than me and our three brothers and sisters, so tired. My uncle is very good. He once picked up 185 Jin when he was firewood for the school, breaking the school history record. Every time he picks three or four cases of white wine.

My uncle later worked in the township grain management office, and my aunt was a local in the township street and opened a clothing store. At the end of the twelfth lunar month, my uncle also took the goods to the village market to sell and set up stalls. After the strike, he stored the goods in his uncle's dealership.
The market is extremely hot in the middle and late twelfth lunar month, and it is even more crowded after the off-year holiday. According to my hometown, it is "crowded". Such a grand occasion is even crazier than the rural commodity exchange meeting in autumn.
The autumn rural commodity exchange meeting is held in September every year, after autumn sowing and during the slack season. Because the market street is too small, commodity exchange meetings are held in a large open space in front of the brigade headquarters. In order to celebrate the grand event and because students are not interested in class, the school has a holiday for three to seven days every year, and the brigade headquarters is only 100 meters away from the school. Most of the goods sold at the trade fair are cloth and clothes, all of which are pulled by trucks from the countryside. Every exchange meeting is like a legendary temple fair, with a lot of food and fun. The brigade-now changed to the village-will invite the Huagu Troupe, with about six or seven actors. At this time, all kinds of fruits and dried fruits are available, and snacks are also delivered. The children just want to eat.
The twelfth lunar month is different, mainly to supply new year's goods. In the early 1980s, most rural youths had not gone out to play, and catching the twelfth lunar month was the most important pastime. Small crowds exceeded 1000 people all morning, and did not stop gathering until one or two in the afternoon. Many young people deliberately make waves, and every time someone is squeezed down, the children are scared to hide aside. Every market fought for "squeezing oil" and went straight to the rice fields and hit their heads. Isn't it just "squeezing your head"? The village set of Shenliu Bridge is originally small. I once watched an open-air movie at a summer night party and was pushed off the bench at the end. We were all teenagers in those years and were very keen on this "oil-squeezing" movement in the twelfth lunar month market.
By the end of 1980s, most young people in rural areas had gone to work in cities, but their purchasing power was no longer the time to go home before the Spring Festival every year. If the market in the early 1980s was idle and lively for young people, in the late 1980s, big bags and small bags were snapped up. In order to maintain order, my brothers and sisters went to help my uncle watch the stalls in every episode and went to the township party to help on a single day.
In fact, only the main street of the village is crowded. For the secondary street on the road, it can extend infinitely, from 500 meters to 1 km, and then widen to the rice fields on both sides of the road. At this time, if you want to see your sweetheart, go to the market to find it, and you won't be unable to find it because there is no telephone contact. Can't find it once, go back and forth twice and three times; If you can't find this episode, look for the next one. If you are familiar with each other, you can secretly hold her hand; If you don't know her very well, you can slip her a small note quietly.
Not only young people, but also middle-aged people like to catch the twelfth lunar month. Otherwise, what will they do in the long winter? Go to the market and see what is missing in the new year. I can't remember some unusual items. I thought it was cost-effective when I met, so I bought it. You don't have to use it for Chinese New Year. Some use it on the fifteenth day of the first month, some use it in summer, and it is cheap in winter.
Middle-aged and elderly women dislike going to the market the least. On the one hand, they often ignore money or don't make money; Both of them are very frugal; Of the three, they are over the age of watching. They only go to the market when they sell things or have to buy things. My third aunt likes going to the market. She was married in a place in Guangshan County, eight miles away from the gathering place of Shenliu Bridge, and she had to catch almost every episode. She had no biological son, so she separated from her adopted son who married her daughter-in-law. She lives next to Spipi River Reservoir, but she grows many vegetable gardens and teas. In each episode, she either picks vegetables or tea for sale at the collection point, or even picks them in Bali town, which is 16 or 17 miles away. Otherwise, how can I spend my long old age? Now, Sangunai is almost ninety years old. When I met her five years ago, she was still in high spirits. She took a bus from Xinxian County to Shenliu Bridge alone, and then walked eight miles back to her hometown in the countryside.
I don't know if God will stay on the bridge and meet the party.
