Night view of Qianchuan Street in Huangpi
The day before yesterday (May 2) I was invited by Teacher Liang Xipi, and finally met after several times. The difficult obstacle was the damn epidemic. It's all caused by the epidemic, so everyone stays at home and cannot move. The friends who came to the reunion included: long-lost friend Nanshan Zhiye, brother Liang Xipi who is really a close friend, and friend Xia Gang who hit it off at first sight; unfortunately, Pei Gong (Gao Cai) was isolated due to the epidemic. Some time ago, due to the epidemic, the light rail line 1 interrupted the trains between Hankou North and , which made many Huangpi friends look forward to the road and sigh. I had to laugh at myself and regret it: "The future will be long, and the future will be long..." Brother Liang Xipi deliberately took out his editor-in-chief, and the Wuhan CPPCC Culture, Literature and History Study Committee, Changjiang Press Group, and Wuhan Research Institute of Jianghan University jointly edited it, and it was compiled by Wuhan Publishing House The published "Eighteen Youths" (front and back volumes) was given to me. When I read this book, I seem to see countless shadows of myself. Those things in the book seem to be related to myself.
"...I don't hate the passing of time, but I am afraid that the thoughts of young people will be worn out." This Liang Qichao 's "Water Tune Song Head" expresses the sigh of the rare years... Someone said: Memories are like a pot of good tea. Only when boiling water is used to brew the tea leaves will roll and undulate in the pot, and then the fragrant tea can be brewed, which is worthy of the hard work of the tea farmers. A happy gathering often stirs up thousands of waves with a single stone, causing ripples on the calm lake... Life is like a play, "everything is seen, and the arrow follows the fate" is plain and beautiful.
Peers of the same age read "Eighteen Youths" with a deep feeling. When the candle is extinguished, the light is full, and the clothes feel dewy. It all smells like a book. "Eighteen Youths" seems to cover my childhood aspirations and my adult life. Many, many fantasies have been exhausted... The past is diverse, but not boring, brewing arouses bursts of thinking, troubles and pleasures are constantly turned, although pleasant things are more than illusory, regrets of untimely birth are always hidden in Among them, from time to time, there will be a tiny bit of it. Who said aftertaste is a comfort to the soul; only those warm and wonderful lights are worth remembering and pursuing! Only pleasant things can stimulate the heart to stimulate more peptides, eliminate cancer cells, and promote good health.

Brother Liang Xipi said in WeChat: "At the invitation of Pei Gong, I went to Huilin Square in Xinchengli to see the former "Huangpi Qianchuan Middle School Office" (site)." Old things, naturally The more detailed the better, only a shallow memory is not enough, I have to do my homework in advance. Speaking of homework, the words my late mother taught me immediately appeared in my mind: Entrusted by others, it is a matter of loyalty. , the second couplet: For the emperor, the righteous emperor's heart②. Hengpi: Be a down-to-earth person. This couplet is about the word "faith" in "propriety, righteousness, benevolence, wisdom and faith". When I was young, I often heard my parents say: "The way of the five constants is the foundation of being a person. Remember, it doesn't matter when and where, and careless and perfunctory." My mother would often add: "Everything that has been promised, must try to complete it. This is honesty." There are many couplets with the same great path: "The salary of eating the king is a matter of loyalty to the king; for the presence of the bed, the heart of the big bed." etc., are also the same. It's just that it came from different people's mouths. It's getting too far, and some digressions are too much, so it's better to get back to the topic.
Hu Qiuyuan's former residence Hujiawan
After receiving Brother Liang Xipi's WeChat, he began to do his homework based on his scattered memories. I made a special trip to visit my friends who were deeply involved in the incident and lived in Xinchengli for a long time: Wu Zhenxin, Wang Haiwen, Wang Zhiwu, Wu Weiwei, etc. In the early 1950s, he lived in Huilinfang, Xinchengli. Wu Weiwei, who is seventy-three years old this year, recalled: "I heard from the old man that there used to be an office in No. 7 Huilinfang. Is it "Huangpi Qianchuan Middle School?" In the 1940s, Wu Zhenxin (71 years old), whose parents bought a house and moved to Xinchengli, recalled: "I have met the old man Hu in this office. When I was sensible, "Huangpi The "Qianchuan Middle School Office" has been withdrawn early. When I saw old man Hu, it was the most unlucky period for him. He seemed to be doing nothing all day long, giving people a worried look. The calligraphy in one hand... While speaking, Lao Wu suddenly remembered: That's right! An old photo came from an old neighbor (old friend) the day before yesterday, asking me if I knew the person in it? I recognized Hu in the photo at a glance The old man and his cousin Hu Moran..."Old Wu said as he turned on the phone, flipping it up and down with his fingers, looking for the photo. (The left old man with erhu , the third from left Hu Moran)

Turning the pages, Old Wu suddenly said: "Ask the office It is best to ask Haizi (Wang Haiwen) upstairs at No. 23 (formerly No. 7 Huilinfang), his father Wang Chongwang was in charge of the office! At the same time, he was also Hu Qiuyuan’s secretary. It is said that he has a close relationship and is often outside. They are called brothers in front of everyone. They went to Shanghai together, and went to Chongqing together during the War of Resistance . After the victory, they returned to Han together to establish an office..." We talked and walked towards Huilin Square. After a while, we came to 23 At the gate of No. 1, Zhenxin shouted to the window on the second floor: "Haizi, Haizi." He happened to be at home that day when he was always out fishing. When he heard someone shouting, the couple quickly agreed and went downstairs to ask him what he could do. . After learning about the past of asking about the "Huangpi Qianchuan Middle School Office", he said conceitedly: "You have found the right person. My father Wang Chongwang was Hu Qiuyuan's secretary. In 1946, Hu took over the "Huangpi Qianchuan Middle School". , established the Han office here; he also appointed his late father to be in charge of the office. The office at that time, occupied, the main room with two bays downstairs and the front and rear left wing rooms.” He also added: “At that time, my father and When Hu Qiuyuan was in Chongqing, they worked together at the desk (referring to being intimate, eating and living together). After returning to Han, they lived together at No. 7 Huilinfang (referring to this house). This house seems to be Hu Qiuyuan's It was rented by Han Hui'an. He also pointed to the electric meter box on the wall with great interest and said: "Look, the "master meter" of the power supply bureau used on the 23rd still uses the name of Hu Qiuyuan." The rapid increase and the increase in electricity consumption, each family has installed their own electric meters, so there are so many electric meters that several pieces are combined into one box. I squinted my eyes and took a closer look, and the label on the electric meter in the middle was impressively written Hu Qiuyuan The three big characters are just Hu Qiuyuan's "Yuan" character, which is wrongly written as "Yuan" on New Year's Day. The company changed in the 1970s and 1980s, and the regime changed. The registered name of this electric meter has never changed, which is really rare and thankful.

Office was established in 1946, when Hu Qiuyuan took over the post of principal and established "Huangpi Qianchuan Middle School" with donations from his parents , Carry out large-scale repairs. A large number of building materials, cement, cement, wood, steel, etc. have been purchased by the office, and pen, ink, paper, daily necessities and other trivial materials used by the school in the future are all in charge of the office. , and then rented a car to transport them to Huangpi School. In addition to centralized purchases at the office, I heard from my father that they often went to "Guangya" Second Middle School, "Shangzhi" (Sixth Middle School), "Boxue" (No. The 16th Middle School, "St. Joseph" (19th Middle School), "Hanyang Provincial High School" (3rd Middle School), and "Sheng Luoyi" (20th Middle School) exchange teaching information, exchange experiences, and second teachers. "Huangpi Qianchuan The title of "Middle School" is inseparable from the daily trivial work of the office.

The office is also responsible for receiving teachers and students who go to and from the school, or people who live temporarily on the way to school. My mother said that the work of the office was miscellaneous but not chaotic, but it was very busy... My father worked in the office until the beginning of liberation. Office, and its work gradually stopped, and was soon cut down and canceled. According to my father's recollection, that probably happened in 1949.
Xinchengli at the beginning of the last century was very grand, with a bird's-eye view of the greenery The white walls and red tiles are arranged in an orderly manner, and the clean alleys are different in priority. Especially Huilinfang in the Jiaoshou alleyway, the clear water wall and the solemn wooden door are incompatible with the original mysterious Xinchengli. Huilinfang is elegant and magnificent. Xiongshi Quanli Lane is unique in the Shikumen with bucket-style brick and wood structure. The two heavy brown and black iron gates at the gate of Xinchengli contrast brilliantly with the neon billboards of the Huashang Hotel next door (the three-story building at the entrance of Taipingli). The difference is that in Xincheng, there are gunmen and big wolf dogs guarding the door, and a platoon of troops comes in and out. People avoid this mysterious and profound place; while Huashang Hotel is full of people, and the traffic is very busy.

Before 1957 in Xinchengli, it was common for soldiers to line up for exercises sooner or later. The instructor's pure Henan dialect, the soldiers carrying the Hanyang made or 38 big covers, marched one by one in the lanes, and the scene is still fresh in my memory. At that time, there were few residents, and the exercise was in the morning and evening, so there was no such thing as hindering the residents' travel. The fourth big alley is the Judicial Department, and it is also the main place for soldiers to train. Under the guidance of the instructor, two people line up, facing the row of red tiled houses in Taipingli, which is separated by a wall, and make shooting movements such as crawling and squatting. After the inspection found that the requirements were met, he shouted in a very rough voice: "Red house, four or eight, let go!" As for the meaning of the shout, is it spoken language, or... I don't know at all. I once asked the little friends I met together at the beginning, and they only knew that the instructor called it that way, and they also didn't know what it was, let alone what it meant. It seems that I'm afraid I won't be able to figure it out in this lifetime.
One day, I ran into Wang Zhiwu, who was over sixty years old. He recalled: "Old man Hu lived in the wing room of the office later. I can't remember whether it was the front room or the back room. I just remember that the old man was very moldy, reticent, and often stayed in the office. Write big characters at home. Since I was a child, I knew that he could write well and was a cultural person. In my impression, he didn’t have a formal job. That group of people built the factory together."

Scattered memories, plus the clues they provided, pieced together, and learned that Hu Qiuyuan bought his residence - Huilin Fangyuan No. 7 (now No. 23) was vacated as an office. There are still several institutions like this in Xinchengli: the original No. 5 Han's Clinic, the No. 18 Business Administration Department, the original No. 21 Anlu Office in Han, and the original No. 35 No. 37 Municipal Police Bureau Judicial Section, as for the dormitories of the units in the lanes: Hubei University, Xinhua Bookstore , Yangtze River Waterway Bureau, Public Security Bureau, Cultural Bureau, Education Bureau, etc.
Wu Zhenxin also recalled: Hu Qiuyuan not only appointed secretary Wang Chongwang to be in charge here, but also hired his brother Hu Moran and cousin Hu Moumou (neighbors call him Old Man Hu) and others to help in the office. Several of them are jointly responsible for handling the school's pending matters in Han. Although there are not many people in the office, it can do a lot of work for the school. It was not until the new government was established after liberation that the office was evacuated. His brother Hu Mo then served as the second principal of Hankou Tiezhong . During the conversation, Wu Zhenxin also found a group photo of Hu Moran, Hu Old Man and their friends in the 1960s, which was just like him, and he couldn't help but feel a lot of thoughts.
