But time won't let you stay forever

When I was in Hangzhou in 1994, I had the concept of space, time, human relations and geography, and there were continuous memories from here.

After three years of epidemic, my travel is no longer blocked. After I have a good time in the sun, I want to go out for a walk. The first place I think of is Hangzhou, where I remember the beginning.

In the spring of 1994, I followed my mother to a silk reeling factory in Tangxi, Hangzhou. The silk reeling factory in my memory is very large, with boiler room, tea room, workshop, canteen, office area, water room, even rockery garden and cinema. But when I came to this place again thirty years later, I found everything was so cramped, and even made me wonder if I had come to the wrong place. But no, during the call with my father, I was confirmed again to connect the memory of the place I stayed in as a child. Some paths are gone, some buildings are dilapidated, and some spaces are totally unrecognizable. I knew it would change. After 30 years of vicissitudes, I just wasn't ready for it to become what it is today.

The space we stayed in was like a ship, but time will not let you stay forever.

Happy New Year!

I wish you would look forward and never look back
