NaoShiKou area changes

Standing in Beijing, four hope they be large Beijing south station street and towering majestic Beijing railway station;North is ChaoYangMen south street;East, west is wide gates avenue, namely the founding along changan avenue;Buildings lining the streets around the incessant vehicles.However, 60 years old or younger, probably seldom know, today's Beijing area around, disappeared shops how much bystreet, many residents and businesses.Even if people over the age of 60, probably only in the region at the residents of this area, can make a description of the former appearance.
In 1958, the Beijing before about now shops center, is four streets rendezvous cross street called "east east street, avalokitesvara temple street";West street called "west guanyin temple street";South is "south street";North is now "ChaoYangMen south street", original call "hood alleys".The four streets rendezvous, when the on the street NaoShiKou "called the".And NaoShiKou nearby streets and lanes, in addition to connect multiple respectively ChaoYangMen south street today on either side of the hutongs also keep most particularly, the east, west, south of the hutongs basic all disappeared.At the time, east guanyin temple street bystreet, former chair connectivity; such hutong horn to bayWest guanyin temple street connecting south gowns bystreet, fire bystreet, bowl, temples and the pole; hutongs etcSouth south street is connected officer cap bystreet, brimming with bystreet, west BiaoBei bystreet, magpie bystreet, suzhou bystreet, woolly bystreet, east BiaoBei hutong alleyways, except, joint suzhou bystreet today remains within the western connected ChongWenMen street for a outside, the rest of the hutongs are disappeared.As for the alley and inner concatenated hutongs within, because is also more has vanished and my memory is limited, can't on this list.
At the time, this street NaoShiKou "why called" from the book, I not from get research, just introduced that old man mouth because here is very lively named, this point I have experience greatly.I was living in the north west NaoShiKou towel lane street formulated hutong -- south gowns hutong 1 yuan NaoShiKou HuTongKou namely, out.To 1958 here, I and demolition, connection here ten years of calendar still remember.When here really lively, only from blocks all look, it was really a feast of shops complexes and vendors in herds, street is a tavern (southwest said "JiuGang");South-east have breakfast to spread, pork, the northeast face is salt, shops, fix bicycle shop, GeZi anybody is a "police" (because at that time passing vehicles more here, which was established by the police on duty place) and pastry shop.In addition, all curb have sold Fried triangle, cakes, MianCha etc vendors;Blocks northwest wall often labeled movie posters, yinde passers-by stopped to watch, make here more lively.From the corner to within four streets outspread, also is busy, east guanyin temple street pork, salt in store, shop, paper spread, coal elementary school and so on, especially when the school (called east guanyin temple elementary school), playground is very big, every summer often projected, the open-air movies at the local residents poor cultural life has very attractive, young and old, when every projected residents holding a small wooden bench, mazar-e son, spend five cents to buy tickets went to watch.West guanyin temple street elementary school, the goddess of mercy in kindergarten, temple, sichuan said hall, baths, etc.Hood lane street shop (two in pastry shop, steamed bread, fruit shop store, glass, breakfast, rental shop, building materials store prinking book, police station, booth, a mill, stationery, etc.The most lively wants to count the south south street, true is the local "small wangfujing street".When I was young often go to the street with buy to eat, so for this street impression is very deep.The street: its appearance is in the west from the north to the south is a tavern, Popsicle room, rental shop, department store, book prinking ZhiDian, Fried cake booth, fruit, sweet potato room, grain shop;In the east from the north to the south is YangRouPu, two store, early talks shop (restaurant), stationery shops, merchant, paper pave etc.Should explain, then suzhou bystreet is a longer east-west hutong, south street after its intersection constitute a "d" word street.Many stores plus here very much, make here households are very busy.
At the time, here are the every shop operators for you, buying and selling is fair and business youdao.If my HuTongKou south of the cake shop liu shopkeeper, meet a person then greets, sometimes see my mother took me pass by, then took a piece from enclosure, and eat biscuit let me say: "come, children! Try the new banana bar."My mother good face, natural cannot let me bilk, hence then said: "let big ye give we call 2 jins!"So both sides are very appropriate.Be like again, south street merchant, every day in the morning and afternoon that sell boiled dumplings, and beside put a pan of oil, fry the buyer requirements for its manager again and free, frying, so prosperous shop business.At that time, the shops in this region has a very good relationship with local residents relocation, harmony XiDong until each rush.
In the 1950s, Beijing traffic is not developed, car, bike, rarely is mainly ChuLiChe, tricycles, etc.NaoShiKou vehicles through many, it also increased the lively degree, also here make here restaurant a thriving business.Remember street filled tavern, always drink guest, let's talk over coffee, full of angry;The south side of the talks shop, within two meals cheap, affordable, a pedal tricycle driver, buy zhang pancakes clip meat plus a bowl of porridge, was also just two triangular money.
Remember in the 1950s ChuSiHai "movement" in the store, the residents here are action, dozen flies, boom sparrows, plugging rat hole, almost every day some units of great horde carrying red flags and holding shows the slogan or physical, gains from here, every street through the lively degree climax here.Then, to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the founding of Beijing began to widen thing chang-an street street and XiangDongXi direction, and build Beijing station, extend the great hall of the people, the history museum around ten buildings, NaoShiKou of demolition area, and is part of the residents began to move here, here has changed greatly: NaoShiKou disappeared, some hutongs disappeared, hundreds of residents away...After the reform and opening, Beijing city construction pace accelerated, then left from the hutongs and residents have gradually disappear, and the surrounding area NaoShiKou already ulterly changed, but generation up is broad boulevards, modern skyscrapers.NaoShiKou and the surrounding streets, shops...NaoShiKou what was happening around in our memories, etc., all these past LaoZhuHu over 60 in local people's memory.I think we have a responsibility to the people of former the streets here, introduced the past, they have here is part of the Beijing city, constitutes the old Beijing development
