Not in Chongqing, there are forests
Not in Chongqing, there are forests

I stood in the highest building of the city and looked far away, thousands of high-rise buildings and pieces of low ancient residential buildings rise and fall, if the whole city is compared to a piano, then these buildings should be staggered keys. Every city plays a symphony every day, every building, every person's thoughts meet and dance in the sky of the city. This is the main melody of the whole city, mixed with the hustle and bustle of the city, it is the most simple and original ecological interpretation!
Countless times I looked through the window to the furthest distance, countless times I imagined what kind of people should be in the depths of that building, what kind of stories are happening, in the same distance from the city center, whether there is also a person or a group of people like me looking forward. Thinking in this way, I suddenly felt that there were many pairs of eyes staring at me, and I was teasing my young imagination with the tentacles of thought.
I have tried many times to use the telephoto lens to get a glimpse of the city, the city is a deep forest, there are too many leaf vines covered my eyes, like surging waves crashing on the rocks, arousing my infinite emotion.
The night of the city, the neon on the beginning, is the world of billboards. The whole world is busy showing that creation is as if it were the business of the Creator, of the whole urban forest. Make it in the forest, make it in the concrete jungle, make it where we can't see it, and then turn their business cards into colorful print ads, Band-Aids on the forehead of the building city. In fact, not only the forehead, there are many parts, sometimes, I really feel that a piece of the billboard like a patch, affixed to the city's streets and alleys, affixed to the heart of the city people.
Green leaves are the protagonist of the forest, glass is the protagonist of the city. Green leaves are a symbol of natural vitality, and glass is a display of scientific and technological vitality. Most of the green leaves are invisible planes, and most of the glass is boldly exposed to others. Green leaves dress the forest in a gown, and glass wraps the city in a bikini. Green leaves keep out the wind and rain, are the glass of the whole forest, and glass decorative buildings are the green leaves of the whole city.
Our feet are the buildings, the streets are the heels of the buildings. Thousands of pedestrians wriggle on the heels of city buildings. They are supposed to be the protagonists of the city, but they are not wanted to be upstaged by the big buildings. Compared with the urban forest, they seem to be supporting characters or props, because of their size; They are also very much like protagonists or directors, because they play the role of builders or porters in the rise of a city. In this way, people living in the depths of the city are more like stage managers! On the big stage of the city.
No matter how high we stand, we can't look at the whole picture of the city. What we can see is the clouds over the city. Clouds polish the eyes of the sky, bring light to the whole city, but also shade the line of sight of the sky, make a hat for the whole city. The cloud, the city prowler, is a bird's eye view of the traffic police over the city. Roads weave the warp and weft of the city, clouds plan the weather of the sky. The buildings are high, the clouds will fall, but there is always a cloud will stand high and still look out, just like the forest through the city, there is always a pair of eyes in the deep feeling with you.
The luxuriant forest is so that all sentient beings yearn for, and the chain of the forest makes many people discouraged. The city has opened a door to the brave, and it has blocked out many of the cowardly. There are also some people who have lived in the city from the beginning, who are canaries around the city, and have long lost the courage and ability to fly.
Just like there is no quiet mountain forest forever, there is no city that is always comfortable, the city is a piece of restless cheese, many people have become the porters in the cheese, the handling is not the cream and sugar of cheese, this is a piece of distinctive cheese, the raw material of making cheese is fame and profit! They will only move back and forth, but they have never thought of opening up a new city themselves, and then do the master of this city!
Like walking into a misty mountain forest, many people get lost in the city. Because, they are only on the road, but forget the communication between each other, only to speed up, but forget the direction of their own home. They will only wind and rain to the golden lighthouse trek, but did not think of setting up a flag for themselves, even if it is to fly a kite!
Wong Kar-wai made a classic film, called "Chongqing Forest", after watching this film, I was confused for a while, Chongqing does not have a forest, forest is a metaphor; There are forests in Chongqing, and forests are a kind of derived reality. In fact, there are forests more than Chongqing? Not in Chongqing, there are forests.
