✨"If time has a door, I want to live in Toronto"

Not every door leads to today. Some doors, standing quietly in the heart of the city, lead to the literati's character and ideological fire of the 1930s. I knocked on the red wooden door on Duolun Road, and the wind of 1933 blew gently from the crack of the door, ruffling my bangs and stirring up the old dreams of this city. The doorpost was inscribed: "See Shanghai, walk into Duolun Road" I smiled and became the modern woman who secretly traveled through the story. I didn't hold an umbrella or a pen in my hand, but secretly brought a period of inspiration to write about time. Duolun Road is not long, but it has gathered the brightest souls. Lu Xun, Mao Dun, Ding Ling, Ye Shengtao... Their pens once wrote the backbone of New China here; their voices seemed to have not dissipated between the bricks and tiles... I turned into the alley and admired the gorgeous old buildings here. Many Western-style buildings from the early 20th century (Renaissance style, Baroque, British-style small buildings, etc.) are preserved here. Shikumen and arcades are intertwined, with a strong atmosphere of old Shanghai. The afternoon sun was scattered on a group of statues... I saw Mr. Lu Xun sitting on a bamboo chair, and three students were listening attentively. I approached quietly and sat down. At this moment, I seemed to have become a member of this spiritual class. The statues were silent, but there was a tacit understanding between us. When I turned the corner of Duolun Road, I smelled the sweetness of the whole street. The walls of Tianai Street were full of love poems, and the ground was covered with love messages, but what made me laugh the most was the graffiti of Xue Zhiqian in the corner. He held the microphone, his eyes were deep and helpless. Next to him were full of messages written by fans, some drew hearts, some wrote lyrics, and some said: "Old Xue, I have married someone else, but my heart is still with you." (Laughing) I stood next to him and took a photo. I felt that this road was simply a large youth autograph book, and every stroke in it was the willfulness, laughter and confession of youth! In fact, this street is not only for lovers, it also accommodates everyone who has been passionate. No matter who you have loved, chased, or missed in this life, you can come here and write a few words, say "Thank you for letting me meet", and then turn around and continue to love your life sweetly. Good afternoon! Duolun Road in summer. # Duolun Road Celebrity Street # Sweet Love Street # Shanghai City Walk # Coordinates 1933 # Follow Joe Mei to Travel
