Which film you mix children in Beijing? Is Wudaokou, Sanlitun, Xidan, Songzhuang, 798 or Xizhimen "die around you" near the bridge?
This question is not given out "old Beijing", but with a Southern accent a group of outsiders. They do not meet the sidewalk: "You eat it na?" But they said that he loved more than people in Beijing Beijing.
Recently, co-organized by these outsiders entitled "to Beijing's Little Love Song" cartoon exhibition, on display in Beijing. The exhibition displays more than a dozen cartoons, first to be used as "Fashion Weekly" magazine's other books "culture Beijing," the cover, each launched one.
Surprisingly, these describe Beijing, with authentic old Beijing flavor of comic books, actually from a "genuine," outsiders - from Yunnan to the Peng Hao wind.
More than 1,000 degrees glasses failed to block the wind Peng Hao Beijing's perspective, he was careful with his cartoons depicting the eyes of Beijing: shops, restaurants, libraries, bars, theaters, subway stations, alleys ... ...
Probably a number of "old Beijing" not appear to draw onto an everywhere was, so to say, even the wind Peng Hao Beijing for the city than many much more conversational.
Peng Hao wind in the eyes of Beijing is a very easy "lost" city: "Many people in Beijing and you may only have one side of the edge, after which they scattered in various places, never see him again. Even less active regions, but also how to touch not see. "he said in Beijing, our circle is changing, life is changing, it is difficult to see friends on the road.
So, those we met or not met or had friends from overseas, you in Beijing, right?
Beijing is only one reason to ten million to Beijing
The sixth national census data show that as of November 1, 2010, the Beijing resident population of 19,612,000, of which other provinces and cities Laijingrenyuan 7.045 million, the resident foreign population in the proportion of the population from 18.9% in 2000 to 35.9% in 2010.
This set of data is sufficient to prove that Beijing city attractive for foreigners. Although only one in Beijing, we have reason to want to come with ten million.
"To Beijing's Little Love Song" one of organizers of the exhibition, founder of the studio gang children - Cheng Xin Ming, had a "Northern Drift." In 1999, just graduated from university, he for his musical ideals, carrying a guitar, with luggage and moved to Beijing - this he views as very "idealism" of the city. He did not want to stay in their home, home that you can see the work of his head.
First came to Beijing, Cheng Xin Ming lived in the basement. Leisure, often with friends bike, ride from the East Third Ring Road has been Fuchengmen, or ride from Wudaokou Fuchengmen: "At that time Beijing is not like this now, there are many street vendors, we while singing, while riding. especially happy, it does not feel bitter. "
Now, is living in Beijing Cheng Xin Ming the twelfth year, he has been married, have children, buy a house, car, also have a Beijing hukou. When he wanted, and now have been achieved.
Some people came to Beijing in order to dream, while others are intended emotion.
"Fashion Weekly" editor in chief of the heart king on the Northeast early left home in 1997, not yet graduated college internship, she came to Beijing, the wait is 14 years.
"When I first came to Beijing, the first reason is that he wanted to, followed by the then boyfriend, now her husband came to Beijing." Because her husband is a civil servant, a married couple the heart king on assigned units on the old house, 60 square meters. "Because the building is old, dirty, in the winter, cockroaches will run to warm the bottle thermos bottle on the morning room to the water to fetch water, you will see a lot of cockroaches in the heat." Talking about this story, Wang Yue heart do not feel sad. She said: "The young man just graduated, so all I can to stay in Beijing has been very lucky."
Wang on the heart, said: "Beijing has given me the old dream, the dream has been achieved, a new dream, I love Beijing."
In addition to dreams and love, the reason for some people to Beijing is not complicated.
Ping Chuxuan grew up in Shanxi to Beijing for their day remember very clearly, that in January 2005. With many different reasons for him to stay in Beijing is very simple, it is close to home. This big boy has been twice a month back home, he remembered the painting to accompany niece, remembered her mother doing the meal, always thinking about a bunch of hometown friends. Friends said Feng Chuxuan is to Beijing "mission" rather than "return" to Beijing.
Initially, Feng Chuxuan do not like Beijing, it is too large. Performances in Beijing in 2001, he look at a map of Beijing, that Beijing is too great. His first job in the Beijing Xicheng District units, spare time went to "798", they like to think that another city.
So Ping Chuxuan admits: "I am not come to the so-called ideal, I just think Beijing can accept me, I can accept it, so I live here."
Beijing in the hearts of many people are not so large side, everyone crowded into the bustling crowd, those people of different accents, their stories again in Beijing with what progress?
Beijing only one method in countless living in Beijing
Since the call of Beijing, Feng Chuxuan has been in the showings, watched the house from 3000 yuan per square meter rose to 30,000. This year, Ping Chuxuan finally bought their own house, in Shunyi, the full amount.
Although his house is very far away from urban areas, but Feng Chuxuan was so happy: "I like their community, because far from Beijing city center, green area, there are many young people, there are many very good older, they see I will be very warm, even when I decorated the house would give me hot water to send down. "He was very satisfied with their living environment. "At least not as bad as downtown." He added.
In Feng Chuxuan view, choose which city life is not important, because no matter what city can live in your thought life. In Beijing, Feng Chuxuan just live my own life.
Xin Ming Cheng thirties and Feng Chuxuan different, his Beijing life full of ideals. He always stressed: Beijing is a city full of dreams.
Dream did not fade with time, although Cheng Xin Ming in Beijing for a few work, but also faced many difficulties, but now he finally set up a child with friends partner studio, he specifically chose a quiet residential building as everyone's office, looked out the window, not like downtown is so dragged on. His desk, stood an old guitar.
Cheng Xin Ming in the recruitment of staff, there is an unwritten rule: there must be a dream. "Money failed to keep employees, but the dream can be." Talking, he looked out the window.
Probably, with many foreigners living in Beijing, the situation is more similar to the wind Peng Hao.
Newly married soon Peng Hao wind, although in recent years has been living in Beijing, but can not afford to buy a house, he rented the house, dressed in a simple style of clothes, take the subway to work, burn the midnight oil. Jane of his life in Beijing and Jane.
What troubled him most, not the high prices, is not complicated work, but their is always a stranger.
Today, Peng Hao Feng's father also came to Beijing as an "old north drift," which he Daorang less of a sense of wandering, but still did not let his Beijing home-like warm and produce as the original association. He often would dream of their own home field in the play.
According to their feelings of living in Beijing, Peng Hao created a cartoon image of the wind - drift brother, brother's story drift probably represents a lot of people's living conditions: the morning sitting in the bus to work, early on the road solution, used to silence, biggest dream is to work punctuality the house, made a salary would pay rent, fear of relatives to Beijing play ... ...
This is a drift brother, perhaps you and me.
Everyone's life in Beijing are different, a few people's lives can not be categorized, summarized. Perhaps, as Cheng Xin Ming wrote in an article: Beijing is only one, there are 1000 kinds of living law.
Beijing is only one of Beijing's memories are numerous
Writers made the Soviet Union had written a book called "escape wide north: Beijing too snobbish." In an interview with China Youth Daily reporter, she said: "that Beijing snobbish, because Beijing is the 'highest' of a city, it kind of 'tall' and pressure for young people to breathe, while so many large overpass, You do not know what side to side path to go, to a year or two outsiders may not know how to go. the road is wide but not easy and I think it reflects a kind of snobbish, not as an ordinary the sake of the people, only for the sake of the people driving. "
Beijing people to breathe, so in Beijing after a time of outsiders, it is inevitable that such a confusion: I am not considering leaving Beijing this?
Ping Chuxuan smile, who dared to leave Beijing only two: First, he decided he could leave the economic base, and second, do not want to rush, the thought of a stable life of people.
After a few years living in Beijing, Feng Chuxuan aware of their own change: "Although I do not love money, but I am more aware of the importance of money for me, it is very realistic, especially in Beijing. And I is not so love to make new friends, and become more reluctant to contact with people. "
When asked whether the left Beijing, Feng Chuxuan very relaxed and said: "I will certainly not live in Beijing, because it is not easy." He painted a picture of an ideal life: the ancient city of Pingyao in Shanxi Province, to build a add a hotel coffee shop, then opened a small theater, dance, write something.
Not only want to leave him alone.
Interview, Peng Hao wind, just cloudy, Peng Hao Feng correct that the most appropriate to describe this weather word should be "haze." Home in Yunnan, he first came to the North, and did not seen like this is not cloudy and non-sunny weather, he is seriously checked the dictionary to find the answer.
Beijing dry, cold winter, especially, Peng Hao Feng meet: "I even have a slight depression."
Today, Peng Hao a little wind to leave Beijing, but the parents just feel his career has been improvement, should not give up. But he said he will go to Yunnan, Lijiang later life.
Some people want to escape naturally want to stay on.
Now the king is no longer on the heart that inexperienced young man, she launched her own fashion magazine, bought their favorite big house and persuaded his parents to take home from the northeast to her Beijing dream is complete.
Wang said he was definitely on the heart and Beijing to the city "to carry the dead", and she has also hope to stay: "Beijing may be that we create, we are not used to bow to it, and do not rebellious in the face of it, you do you want to do it sooner or later you will return. Even if our efforts have not been material rewards, but also by the growth and transformation, which is the reward. "
Tough to leave, or leave quietly?
Pingchu Xuan said: "Now we discuss why the left, why leave the fact over ten or twenty years later, no one will ask you the reason to live in Beijing. It will be very direct, and not doped too much emotion. For example, I moved to Los Angeles from Chicago, where there may be only because I like the park, then moved to New York from Los Angeles, where because of high salaries. "Ping Chuxuan that everyone seems to cause the migration of the very great, in fact, not the case, all but a wish from the heart.
Never mind whether to leave, most importantly, we can not afford to give up love for Beijing.
"Give a Little Love Song Beijing" exhibition foreword, may represent a group of mixed voices of foreigners in Beijing: Beijing big. Metropolis, main road, the big names, big names, big money, big Huyou ... but we love its small side: a small alley, kiosks, mini-bar, small young ... ...
These outsiders, said: "Beijing is not changing all the time, each person has their own memory allocation in a particular time and space, there was a group of people singing in this way over Beijing, is enough."
