In the second year of Tang Changqing (822), the poet Bai Juyi took the initiative to request a foreign assignment and was approved to be the governor of Hangzhou. During this period, he wrote nearly 40 poems praising Hangzhou to express his inner love and care. He even had an interesting "lawsuit" with his friend Yuan Zhen, who was the governor of Yuezhou at the time, because of his preference.

In 1071, Su Shi took office as the general judge of Hangzhou and began to inject the boldness and freedom of "one life under the mist and rain" into the poetry world where Xiaoling was popular at that time, changing the atmosphere of Song poetry. Out of strong personal feelings, Su Shi regarded Hangzhou as his second hometown: "I have lived in Hangzhou for five years, and I consider myself a native of Hangzhou. I have no home in my hometown, and I want to know my neighbors in the West Lake."

In 1877, he served as secretary of in the Southern Song Dynasty Yang Wanli, a young prisoner, and his friend Lin Zifang, who was about to take up a new job in Fuzhou, had a long late-night conversation in Jingci Temple, which was full of Zen and ancient charm. At dawn in the east, the two of them stepped out of the temple threshold side by side. Looking into the distance, they saw the West Lake, like a mirror, with sparkling waves, blending into the endless lotus leaves on the horizon. Hence, the famous poem "Dawn Out" was written to retain a close friend. Jingci Temple sent to Lin Zifang".

In 1924, Rabindranath Tagore visited China and spent two days in Hangzhou. Hangzhou's natural beauty, art and culture, and people's enthusiasm for literature made him sigh: "I don't believe that an Indian feels infinite happiness when he arrives at the West Lake, climbs mountains and tours the lake, and has a bright heart without any stain, as if its own spirit, and The aura of the landscape has been unified. This is purely the function of love. "

In 1946, 22-year-old Jin Yong received his first formal job in Hangzhou as a field reporter.

At the end of 1948, the poet Mu Xin was at the ferry in Tainan, preparing to take a boat back to Hangzhou. Before leaving, he said goodbye to his former classmate in Hangzhou, Xi Dejin. During the dinner, the painter asked the poet to speak some Hangzhou dialect. Mu Xin asked and answered questions casually. After hearing this, Xi Dejin sighed with emotion: "It seems like we are at Guanxiangkou and Trillium Road again: Hangzhou, maybe those days by the West Lake are the most carefree in my life!" "

They have been to many cities in their lives, and their hometown is not in Hangzhou, but they all imprinted Hangzhou in their dreams. Why does

prefer Hangzhou?

Hangzhou is blessed with unique landscapes. A West Lake has nurtured the poetic and artistic feelings of countless literati; a Grand Canal has connected the business travel from north to south; the rushing Qiantang River has laid the source of the city's openness.

Hangzhou’s culture has been passed down for thousands of years. From the Kuahuqiao culture 8,000 years ago to the Liangzhu culture 5,000 years ago, from the Wuyue culture to the Southern Song Dynasty culture, from Qian Liu and Yue Fei to Bai Juyi and Su Dongpo, from the legendary Wansong Academy to the holy land of gold and stone, Xiling Yinshe is full of humanities and profound cultural heritage.

Hangzhou has an open mind. We have relaxed the threshold for settling in, welcomed builders from all over the world and from all walks of life, and respected and praised everyone's labor and value. Therefore, there are many stories of "heroes regardless of their origin, and everyone can become a talent": a programmer who was a chef Selected among the world's 35 young scientific and technological innovation talents under the age of 35, "90 Later, a courier boy was rated as a high-level talent and received a million-yuan house purchase subsidy, and a 20-year-old college student who had not yet graduated received 200,000 yuan in free funding and 500,000 yuan in subsidized loans through an entrepreneurship competition...

The warmth of Hangzhou is obvious to all. When every energetic builder becomes a city sharer, with a place to live, something to work for, and something to feel in their heart, they begin to help and warm each other in the process of common growth, building a spiritual home for everyone, a city. The living fabric of life is connected here - individuals are both light chasers and luminaries, gathering into a dazzling galaxy and lighting up the city's spiritual light.

There is light in the city, which has become the direction we pursue.
