Folk stories and stories of historical celebrities in Shahe, Yantai

In fact, before liberation, the old police station in Shangshahebao was located in the Dongyue Temple, next to the Tutu Temple.

Every year on the 25th day of the winter lunar month, a few strong men will lift up the big Bodhisattva in the temple and walk back and forth from Shangshahebao to Xiashahebao to bless Shahebao with adequate food, clothing and prosperity.

In the old society, truck drivers colluded with street gangsters to commit fraud near Kuizhuang (Houshahebao Subdistrict Office).

The land is responsible for soliciting business and pocketing the transportation costs. The goods are thrown into the truck in large and small packages. Before the people who have loaded the goods have time to climb up, the truck speeds away.

The customer stood there and stared blankly, before he could figure out what was going on. The gangster disappeared without a trace.

The shipper has lost all his money and is complaining endlessly.

These are all things that barefoot mothers saw with their own eyes when they were children on the streets.

After liberation, my mother’s family was still poor and had many sisters. My mother died early and became the main labor force in the family at a very young age. My mother, who was less than 14 years old, had to take care of her younger sister and do housework, farm work, etc. Everything that can help solve problems at home.

Every time I mention these hardships I have experienced, I feel sad for a long time.

The hardships she experienced since childhood were the source of motivation that inspired her mother to work hard and persevere, thus creating a great mother who never bows down in the face of difficulties and dares to move forward fearlessly and fight to the end.

The only high-rise building in Shahebao is the supply and marketing department store on the first floor and ground floor directly opposite the state-owned barber shop on Shangjie. It was probably completed in the early 1970s.

Facing it, there are large restaurants and small department stores on the left and right.

From daily necessities to household hardware, semiconductors, bicycles, and 18-inch black and white, there are a wide variety of products.

People from nearby villages, farms, units, troops, and schools will definitely come here as long as their problems can be solved without going to the city.

"Why do you have to spend a dime and two to drive to Chengtou Nan? I don't have that much money! Besides, the things in Chengtou are expensive, and the car is packed to death and it's hard to wait! The conductor with a cold frown Just like the people in the city, they look down on you! I hate you peasants! You just spend money to find fault in the city!”

Of course, the most important thing is that I will never reveal it to outsiders easily. In fact, I feel frightened when I enter the city, and I can't tell the difference between north, south, east and west.

I was shouted down by the people in the city without saying anything, and I was afraid that I would be scolded and unable to find my way home! Business is booming all year round, with a steady flow of customers, which also drives the prosperity of other small shops throughout Shahebao.

Shahebao, an old street that spans several dynasties, occupies the geographical advantage of convenient transportation in the suburbs compared with the surrounding streets and towns.

The street connects the only Chengdu-Chongqing Avenue on the East Gate at that time. It is relatively located in the road hub area, and the supply of goods anywhere can be easily organized and dispatched without any hindrance.

Therefore, there is no need to rely on single-sew and double-sew days like nearby rural markets to coordinate transactions, gather popularity, and boost the economy. It is a day market that is prosperous every day and will never decline.

An ancient Dasha River passes through the intersection of Xiashahebao Street, which is sufficient to solve various local water sources and also brings valuable opportunities to the shipping industry.

It can be said that Shahebao is a feng shui treasure land that has both sides.

Majiagou was the most remote corner area during the production team period. It was surrounded by the surrounding crude drug factory, Dongjiashan Army shooting range, tire factory, and a two-story red brick and red tile building.

There are neither weirs nor orchards, only rice fields and vegetable fields of various sizes here and there.

There are only a few families who can be named in the entire area, which can be regarded as the area with the least popularity of the production team.

There are no glorious days throughout the year when cows neigh and horses bray.

A ditch about three meters wide flows through there and merges with the sand river water.

I heard from my mother that when I was a child, this ditch had abundant water, moderate depth, crystal clear bottom, frogs and fish leaping, and it was full of life.

The surrounding households wash clothes, wash vegetables, and carry water in this ditch.

Once when I was doing laundry, my feet fell into a ditch and almost caused a serious accident. Fortunately, I managed to get to the shore.

After tap water was connected to the street, this once nurturing river gradually fell into neglect.

Over time, household wastewater was poured into it unscrupulously. There was no longer the joyous scene of people in the past with fish jumping and birds singing, and it even turned into a stinking ditch later on.

This is still fresh in my memory. When I was in middle school, I occasionally took a detour and there were still people fishing, catching fish, and even bathing in the ditch.

Later, I paid you to go down and stayed away because it was too dirty and I was afraid of getting poop.

The dark water is full of duckweed, water hyacinth and garbage.

After the 1980s, Shahebao gradually integrated into the emerging individual economy. The state-owned and individual businesses adjusted each other, enriched each other, complemented each other, complemented each other, and complemented each other.

The business categories operated on the streets of Shahebao are more complete, the varieties are richer, and the industry is more prosperous, showing a great momentum.

In the late 1980s, a high school graduate became a clerk in a credit union with a guaranteed income of 125 yuan per month.

Going step by step every day, following the rules, staying aloof from the world, untainted in the world of mortals, and wasting precious youth by doing nothing.

Day after day, year after year, we are busy with work, study and life.

On my days off, except for riding a motorcycle and traveling dozens of kilometers around villages and suburban counties, I almost never go to Shahebao Main Street.

It wasn’t until my home was demolished that I realized that Shahebao Old Street no longer existed.

The demolition of Shahebao Main Street did not leave any trace in my heart.

Or maybe I was indifferent to this obscure old street at that time.

It was not until many years after the demolition that I remembered that we should cherish this precious land where our ancestors have thrived for generations, so that future generations can share with us the humanity, history, and changes of Shahebao Old Street, which was once so prosperous.

It’s a pity that the people I know don’t know it in advance, and when I asked around, I couldn’t find a photo of the old street in the past.

I even racked my brains and clumsily shook my finger and typed "Old Shahebao", "Shahebao in the 1970s", "Shahebao*", "that Shahebao in 369" in the most advanced Internet search bar ", "Shahebao next to the Post and Telecommunications School", "Li Jie and Shahebao", "Li Sanwa'er lives in Shahebao"... The blind man lit up the lamp and gained nothing, which was a big disappointment! The search results show that "Shahebao Street and Li Sanwa'er's thatched hut do not exist.

".

Whether it came with great fanfare or not is unknown, but what is certain is that its existence must be a mission given by history.

Even the three words "Shahebao" are like family members, relatives, friends, or just a street name or street sign to many people in Shahebao in the past.

There is no need to emphasize it deliberately, no need to pay extra attention, and it is not enough to be a cliche. Existence is natural and natural.

It’s just that you have to come back every day to eat and sleep, and you have to go out there in the morning to make a living, and you have to have a low house or a rotten shed to protect you from the wind and rain.

What’s there to talk about? Make fun of gods and ghosts, and try to impress people! Yes, Shahebao Old Street is about to disappear from this land without leaving any trace. Your descendants can only rely on bits and pieces of memories to remember your extraordinary journey of hundreds of years and appreciate your tenacity through the ups and downs. Don’t pull out, your humility is like a grain, your nurturing and rebuilding, your merits are immeasurable.

I really hope that an old Shahebao person from the past could be so fond of preserving your photo album!

I think that every descendant of Shahebao will always remember this holiest old street in our hearts.

Your appearance will forever be engraved in the hearts of our generation, the next generation, our parents’ generation, our ancestors’ generation, and even everyone who has ever been lucky enough to see your face.

Shahebao will always be the most beautiful street in our hearts, and the story of the time with the old Shahebao is worthy of our pride and pride.

I hope this century-old street will reach higher levels and shine brightly in history.

Let us wait and see "Phoenix Nirvana, rebirth from the ashes", a dazzling Shahe Fort stands in the east of Chengdu! Standing among the world's famous cultural capitals!
