The Variation of Speed

As long as people who have read newspapers and television, or often go out of the country know, now the traffic is becoming more and more developed, especially the train in the six times after the speed increase, it will give people the convenience of thousands of miles between the morning and evening, so that I often think of Li Bai's poem "a thousand miles Jiangling a day back" mood.

I have been to the northern ice city of Harbin five times, each time I come and go is deeply felt, for me is simply the ultimate baptism of the soul and shock again and again.

The first time I went to Harbin was in the summer of 1988, at that time, the speed of the train is particularly slow, just like a serious illness lying on the tracks moaning in pain, not only the car's sanitary conditions are particularly poor, and the conductor's service attitude is not satisfactory, no air conditioning, no hot water, and no delicious meals. From Nanjing to Harbin seems to be more than forty hours, two legs swollen like big buns, off the train, we have to rush to Baoqing County, can not exaggerate to say that this is the most difficult road I have walked in my life, until today I still feel heartbreaking uncomfortable, not only the road potholes, but also from time to time ready to throw their heads to the roof of the car, so that the head and the roof to a most intimate "kiss", from Harbin to Baoqing, and walked close to twenty hours, during this period, the car tires were stone tip cut four times, when the two spare tires are also gloriously laid off, the poor driver had to run to more than ten miles away to find someone to fix the tires, I also accidentally found the top of the bus is a bicycle, an inquiry, it turned out to be The driver was specially prepared to find someone to use, its actual use and status is equal to the spare tire. The choking smell of diesel and vomit in the trunk was mixed with the chattering cries of the children and the stench released from the bodies of the people, and it was impossible to find a suitable adjective to describe the taste.

After eight years, I went to Harbin for the third time in the autumn of 1996, taking the 56th express from Shanghai to Harbin, at this time, the train was much cleaner than before, the attitude of the attendants was significantly stronger than in 1988, and the boiling water was not interrupted, the thirty-hour journey was not too hard. When we arrived in Harbin, we had to go to Baoqing County, this time we took the Yangzhou-made Yaxing bus, the road is no longer the same rugged appearance, replaced by a wide tarmac road. We were like a big family, talking and laughing in the car, the driver played a relaxing violin song, the passengers saw that I was the only one from the south in the car, they were curious to ask this and that, I also took the trouble to introduce Jiangsu and Nanjing to them. I never thought that I would be a temporary propagandist for my hometown in a foreign country for free.

The last time I went to Harbin was in 2003, the National Day, this time to Harbin, feeling really cool, we still took the 56 express, never thought, just a few years, the change is so big, the carriage is exceptionally clean, the conductor every half hour to clean a hygiene, and I even saw the conductor repeatedly carrying a hot kettle for the passengers to pour water, the meal in the dining car is also sweet and delicious, when the train When the train arrived in Tianjin, I hazily fell asleep, dazed, I felt someone moving me, opened my eyes to see, it was the conductor to help me cover the clothes hanging on the window, out, I was so touched, because I have a warmth at home, after twenty-six hours of travel, we arrived in Harbin.

We played there for two days, and I found that the city of Harbin is particularly clean, where prices are relatively cheap, and the northeastern men are particularly brisk, more hospitable, and have a tolerant, fiery heart for anyone. After that, we transferred to Nanjing luxury Iveco to go to Baoqing, the car on the highway like an arrow from the string and rush, beautiful and beautiful saxophone music "home" accompanied us all the way to enjoy the roadside rows of magical poplar trees like a guard of honor, I am also here to really taste from the heart to Mr. Mao Dun wrote the song "Poplar Salute".

The Northeast is a piece of black land that is fascinating and fascinating. Here, you can experience the radical changes every day; here, there are even more poplars that can evoke your romance and passion at all times. From the dangerous mountain roads, to the spacious and boundless asphalt roads, and then to the highways today; from the diesel car, to the comfortable Yangzhou Yaxing, and then to the luxurious Nanjing Iveco today; from more than 40 hours at the beginning, to more than 30 hours later, and then to more than 20 hours today, I seem to see clearly the brilliant and glorious tomorrow of the great northeast, and I also seem to see the great motherland The glorious and splendid tomorrow of the great motherland.
