Panjiayuan “occasional” Yuan Fuli
Panjiayuan Flea Market For every person who likes collecting, has tremendous appeal, did not enter the collection area for the people, it is the growth of knowledge, leisure time, a good place to broaden their horizons. In Panjiayuan Flea Market, except for silver, the bright lights of commodities, it is huge and rich cultural heritage, allowing people with a new vision constantly look for it. Both seasons, every weekend, where people first usher in the dawn, or vice versa, hurried footsteps, friction rub shoulders back, and the scene hot. “Panjiayuan” in the name has become a cultural symbol, become a symbol in the cultural life.

The earliest Panjiayuan Flea Market, far from today’s scale, site messy, mix of people and goods, stalls huts mixed, uneven ground coke ballast, soil Yang storm gusts hit games, which makes the tourists depressed. Even so, people hanging around with the interest unabated, eager to go, see the initial strong vitality Panjiayuan Flea Market. Over time, Panjiayuan Flea Market a beautiful day up, slim girls, such as the flowering season in general. Over the years, every Saturday morning I go to Panjiayuan Flea Market “Taobao” has become a part of life, the family has collected a variety of old photo albums, some old album itself is a treasure. In a variety of old photographs, each person’s growth process, each family experiences of the epoch, one by one, page after page rendered in front of you, cause you endless thinking. Leisure time, fine chemicals these old pictures of the characters, seem to think they are with you dialogue, exchange, discuss, together with the experience of the pulse beat and breathing universe with a wisp of air. Every time, the album looks people in vivid, three-dimensional show will be in front of you.

Winter in early 2004 on a Saturday morning, I, as usual, wandering around a flea market in the Panjiayuan bookstall before a tightly packed, with a unique look, searching for books I need. An old acquaintance of the bookseller in the booth, I found a dark green of the old albums. Album is kind of old-fashioned crafts album by album inside the hollow of the peach, heart-shaped, flower-shaped, rectangular, square-shaped cardboard pattern of variation of the composition. Patterns in these hollow cardboard, the embedded chips in a picture of yellow photo. Groups of photos wearing robe coat, suit Gelv young people in their prime, in a variety of backgrounds before, leaving the face of waves of youth style. Turn a few pages later, a larger picture thing that catches my eye. Different picture, black and white contrast medium, and the scene humorous. Photo old man wearing glasses, a drum-toting the same thing as the right hand folder smoke, riding upon a donkey, a group of young people joy, Wai Yong in the old man around. This is a meaningful intuitive photo album is a worthy collection of albums. Seesaw with some bargain stall, I put albums in the bag.

Behind the word amazing photos
At home, I put in the photo albums one by one finishing. Really want to thank the owner of careful and meticulous album, each photo behind the text, a detailed record of the pictures were taken of the time, place and person. The time from the record can be seen, most photos taken in 1945 to 1947, there are some taken in the fifties of last century. The background can be seen from the photos, the album is a master of the older generation of geologists, and goes behind the old donkey picture text, but also I am pleasantly surprised. Picture behind the text reads: “the spring of 1950, Tsinghua University, Department of Geology and students to participate in the Office of Hebei Province, industrial mineral corundum LINGSHOU point inspection on the work center who was riding a donkey Yuan Fuli teacher.”
