Looking at the pulse of the city from the space of their lives, they always look at the appearance and obvious parts of the city with the usual secular vision of the city.Urban construction is a solid hardware and a collective consciousness.With the reorganization of the city and the passage of time, our relationship with the city is becoming more and more alienated, so that the memory gradually dilutes and even returns to zero.In addition to the old photos that can evoke our hidden memories, it is the record and description of text, especially the text description involved in the spiritual level of the city.
The change from the emotions of living to living in the "Air Tower" (developing to high -altitude), the past feelings that people attach to it, become a kind of escape and rejection of urbanization, forming a depression of the environment; plusThe economic development of the Shang Dynasty has narrowed the urban space, and the people's spiritual load has far exceeded the weight that they can carry. Psychotic patients, street violence, weathered events, corruption and dishonesty, drug abuse, criminals, etc.The pain under the shadow of the huge floor of the city.
Singapore is a unique seaport. There is no natural disaster. It has developed from a small fishing village to today's international metropolis.However, this legend is not available at hand, there are many blood and tears and bitterness behind it.No matter where our ancestors came from, they were almost all immigrants. Our culture is the culture of immigration. Even so far, we have not yet formed a completely independent culture of national consciousness with national consciousness.Our cultural construction is far behind urban construction. So, what do we have to write?
The culture of a city cannot be separated from existing history, times, nations, and regional connections.Modern cities are moving step by step from these most basic cultural spirit, but in the process, it is inevitable to sacrifice or abandon the organization from the mother.Continuously expanding the green zone and replacing the rural world that had disappeared in the past, but still unable to solve the rural complex in people's hearts.On the other hand, paradoxication is that it destroys cultural relics from all aspects, which is an extremely contradictory mentality.It can be said that we are living in the gap between the times. On the one hand, we miss and mourn, on the other hand, to learn to forget the past; oral history and collecting cultural relics are not very comprehensive and profoundly covered with the changes in the city.Attitude, only the contemplation, induction and expansion of text can let us touch and examine the pulse of the entire city.
The birth of a city is accidental and inevitable.The "make the city better" in the Shanghai World Expo is a beautiful dream. If we only see the rise of high -rise buildings, erosive neon light pipes, chaotic transportation, polluted air, people are excessively pursuing utilitarian, how can cities be beautiful?A beautiful city is not only an economically developed city, but also a culturally developed city.You live in this city, not only get everything in material life, the spiritual level of moisturizing and satisfaction, and the personal art talent is fully rewarded and affirmed, we will feel the "home";The lanterns have stories, and they belong to the story of the city.
The city is so huge, the lights are more than thousands of?We shuttle in the gaps of high -rise buildings. In the busy and drilling ant colony, what do we see something with the values of the times?Which light belongs to you?
Our writing, in fact, just touch a small truncation of the city arteries, we still cannot breathe together with the city.In a broad sense, the fate of most cities is painful and gray. Only personal struggles and struggles may leave a little trace for the city.Our sense of history is getting weaker and weaker, and we don't even know what happened before.What exactly does our immigrants from south leave for future generations to remember and learn?Writing in this regard is no different from anemia. While writing modern cities, why not look back and look back. Without the road that our ancestors have passed, without the way they opened up, there is no glory today.Therefore, writing cities sometimes becomes a very heavy burden. Our vision is easily confused by the current prosperity, and every small detail in the city can affect our nerve emotional string.
Local writers should write this city with their minds
Writing for urban is a very simple task.The disappeared buildings are good. These "old sites" used to be a place where seniors like to linger. There may be a good memory here, while moving, they intersection with a sense of vicissitudes of passing away.What does the disappearance of old buildings mean?Our urban planning executor and relevant officials do not think that there is any value to retain ancient buildings?Economic interests are stronger than respect for history.
When we re -examine them, where is our own positioning?In addition to regret, sigh, and regret, what else can we do to make up for the shortage of history?"Writing for this city" is a very good and timely concept. At least, in the process of writing, we will re -discover the story behind the city.In a sense, there are no so -called migrators and foreign people in the Earth Village. All the people are migrators and exotes, and they are also villagers and other peoples. This is a very contradictory but harmonious phenomenon.To be a writer in the city, after all, the same "immigration" is different. The city we see is not just the city structure, it has a deeper significance.
We live in this city and travel from the edge of the city. We cannot be "marginalized". We must see the charm of the city's life and its dreams (actually our dream).
What to write is actually very critical. How to write should not be a problem, but what is it written?In the past, present, and even the future, every minute and every second of the city is changing, and every minute is happening. It provides us with endless subject matter.And exploring; we are indeed among them, but how is it beyond?This requires fine thinking.
Local writers, unfortunately, I can't give up which local writers are writing our city.We do not necessarily need a huge team of writers, but we need to write our city writers with courage, thought, wisdom, courage, and courage, as long as one or two is enough.
