What kind of underground world is Chongqing air-raid shelter?

Some people say that Chongqing is an 8D magic city, uneven; Some people say that Chongqing is a bridge capital, connected vertically and horizontally, extending in all directions; Some people say that Chongqing's track runs through the building, waves rise on the road, houses stand on cliffs, and flyovers are overhead …

These are the characteristics of Chongqing, but they are not enough to summarize all of Chongqing. If you ask me, they also overlooked one of the most striking features of Chongqing-there are countless bomb shelters in Chongqing.

Underground world

From 1937, Chongqing began to build air defense fortifications, and gradually developed from an "air defense pit" where only a few people could squat into an air defense bunker.

It is no exaggeration to say that the entire underground of Chongqing, the space built by air-raid shelters is huge, and it can be called the underground kingdom.

Chongqing can be called a mountain city, a foggy city and a bridge city. In the eyes of Chongqing people, it is still a bomb shelter.

1, the bomb shelter is the door of time.

Chongqing, which has come from the sonorous years, is full of iron and blood.

Those air-raid shelters with special missions were all over the streets during War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's time, and most of them were built on large and small mountains.

If you walk in Chongqing, you won't meet a bomb shelter except on the binjiang road elevated along the river, and you must meet a bomb shelter on any street. Even in the most prosperous city of Chongqing, Jiefang North.

The gate of the years

It's just that they appear in front of you under a new name. So-and-so underground shopping mall and underground parking lot are their current names. Friends who have seen "Hot Pot Hero" know that you can also eat hot pot in a bomb shelter.

Yesterday, when air conditioning was far from universal, the air-raid shelter was the hope of Chongqing people in summer and the popsicle in the heat.

They have stood quietly from the not-so-distant past to the present, and most of them are still well preserved. Just push open the iron gate and the passage to the past will open.

In the eventful years of the bloody anti-Japanese war, these air-raid shelters of different sizes scattered in hard rock mass have become reliable safety islands for tenacious Chongqing people, protecting the southwest rear area.

No one dares to forget those patience and perseverance. The fierce burning overhead and the power of nirvana in this high temperature …

Times have changed, and great changes have taken place in this city. However, subconsciously, no construction unit will move a knife on the drawing. They are the symbol of Chongqing spirit and the representative of city character. Although it is always neglected, it has profound connotations. Keep them, beyond the needs of all economic interests.

2. Memories of childhood

Time flies, the bomb shelter lost its wartime significance and gradually became a child-like memory.

depth

During your teenage years when you and your friends around you are full of energy and curiosity, it's hard not to be a destination because of the bomb shelters everywhere.

The underground is unknown and the light is dim. There is a strange sound. ...

Fantasy is hard, but the brain is hard: the wall is inlaid with agate, the gold is hidden under the stone, and the iron box is full of brand-new legal tender …

While saying that he was not afraid, he raised the only household appliance in the house: a flashlight and squeezed into the crowd with trepidation. If someone suddenly shouts "Ah", you can shout this name at the mouth of the cave. One less? We are discussing whether to draw lots or "rock, paper and scissors" to decide who is a warrior. The brother who didn't win came out of the wall, frowning, trembling and angry for a long time, holding back a few words: you are too disloyal.

Unfriendly partners are worthy of criticism, and joining the team of female students is more reassuring. Little boys are expressive, especially in front of girls who like them very much. The fearlessness of "Buddha blocking Buddha, magic blocking magic" is really speechless.

In my impression, I got into a cave under the barren slope of Liziba, which was complicated and had many doorways. Some students also presented treasures to show the large denomination gold coupons they found.

Underground vault vent

Now I know that the cave I explored is the underground vault of Bank of Communications, and now it is in Liziba Anti-Japanese War Ruins Park.

But the vault can't get in, but there is a bunker-like vent, so you can take pictures at any time.

If it is bigger, we will know that the air-raid shelter is only a part of the civil air defense project. This is a purely man-made building, and all the treasures we want are gone. Although there is still curiosity, the direction is obviously not deep underground, but in the hearts of the opposite sex. Love is the most difficult priceless treasure to find.

There is warmth in the cave.

I miss the days when quadrangles were surrounded by several families.

In the morning, everyone will nod to each other and then brush their teeth and wash their faces around the patio. You can see all the dishes on every table. Sure, it's really delicious. In order not to stimulate neighbors, you can move the dining table into the wing and live a luxurious life behind closed doors.

Usually, everyone greets, and there are always countless enthusiastic people to help anyone who has something to do. Cold comes and summer goes, all of them are saturated with a strong human touch.

However, people have moved into apartment buildings one after another, and the doors are closed and do not interfere with each other. Gradually, the word "neighbor" became synonymous with "old age and death".

Fortunately, there is a bomb shelter.

household chores

Especially in the early years, air conditioning was far from popular. In the days when Chongqing was as hot as a steamer in summer, a cool air-raid shelter became the best choice for summer.

People who seldom walk in the same building will gather in the same bomb shelter, and long-lost greetings come and go, bringing the warmth of deja vu.

Someone brought a straw mat, picked up a clearing and spread it, and comfortably made up for the sleep that was too hot to sleep.

Most people bring tea cups and pour hot water while feeling very cool; Middle-aged people usually gather in a pile and talk loudly about America and Japan.

At that time, Li Boqing, a fake, was already famous, so some people would ask, "Isn't that sly joke a hole?" ?

What I remember most clearly is that someone cleared his throat and imitated a paragraph of Li Boqing's joke: You have to pee, there is chamber pot, don't draw a map on the wall.

There is also a "mountain city great army" headed by Mei Laokan, Russian Mao and Ding Ding Mao ... These are all topics. I even saw some popular local stars in the roadside teahouse in Datianwan. Drinking tea was very grounded, and I asked Mei Laokan to sign in Jiangbei Cultural Center. His smile is sincere.

Oh, yes, Mei Laokan's real name is Pang Zuyun. I don't know if he is virtuous and artistic, but I prefer his simplicity to the so-called star who is surrounded by bodyguards when he goes out now.

People enjoy the cool in the air-raid shelter, set up a dragon gate array, and sent away one hot summer after another. Neighborhood friendship gradually eliminated by the changes of the times has not ended. These street ecosystems have tenaciously existed for a longer time.

4. Don't disappear from the bomb shelter

We don't need bomb shelters any more than we don't need smallpox vaccine now. Although in the long river of time, they used to be particularly important in a short distance.

lonely

The bomb shelter has really lost its practical function, except for conditional cooling, most of which are idle.

I often take a walk near Liziba Light Rail Station. From time to time, I will see an air-raid shelter, the door is closed, the iron lock is rusty and the door is covered with dust. People can't help wondering whether they can still exist.

But, obviously, I worry too much. Chongqing people are extremely wise and will not let ready-made resources be wasted.

We have transformed the bomb shelter into a museum, a hotpot restaurant and a place where everything keeps pace with the times and is closely related to life.

I collected it and listed the delicious and interesting places transformed from bomb shelters for everyone. If we want to keep Chongqing's precious bomb shelter, we still have to collect firewood.

Source bomb shelter

This tourist punch-in resort transformed from an air-raid shelter faces the Liziba observation deck across the road and has just been completed.

A unique and beautiful place

Retro canteen, Roy convenience store, swing, lanterns, wishing wall ... everything is unique, and it is also good to go out for a walk when you take the monorail train through the building.

Eat hot pot.

This is probably the deepest hidden Dongzi hot pot in Chongqing, located in Park Road, South District, Yuzhong District.

Its dining area is deep in the cave, so it is very emotional to walk in.

Zenglaoyao fish restaurant

Located at No.218, binjiang road, the fish village is an old-fashioned cave food.

This is the most primitive bomb shelter, without any decoration. But there are many repeat customers, so there is no way. Who makes people taste bullying?

cave

The cave on Liziba Street is very famous. It is called the first air-raid shelter bar in the world.

If you like flashy handsome guys and beautiful women, you can feel its wine and food for yourself.

In addition, Dongting Hot Pot at two intersections and jianchuan museum under Egongyan Bridge were both converted from air-raid shelters. If you experience it at the right time, you may have a deeper understanding of Chongqing.

The ubiquitous bomb shelter in Chongqing constitutes a unique underground world, which will never disappear. This world is different from the splendor it presents to people, but it has the same effect.

Only by putting the buildings on the ground and the underground air-raid shelter together can we outline the complete outline of Chongqing, the charming capital.
