寻觅老北京

最近经常接到类似这样的任务,让我去一些非常罕见的地方,罕见到是在北京市中心的位置但却任何一个熟悉的出租车司机都不太容易找得到的地方,甚至是就在附近的老北京居民。

昨 天早晨就是这样的一个任务,一位出租车司机听到这个位置后表示摇头,“拒载”了我,然后遇到另外一位比较热情的出租车师傅。于是他开始带着我转,从前门附 近开始绕,然后开始一个一个问路上遇到的老北京人。这里表扬一下北京出租车司机,大多数北京出租车司机都是热情厚道的,不像在浙江的出租车司机。但是这个 位置的确还是太难找了,司机帮我下车问了至少3个路人,都是老北京的,但是每次都得到的是模糊的答案。但最后还是找到了大致地方,司机问我还进去不?我说 那就进去吧。巷子很小,师傅开得有点难了,我都觉得有点不好意思,最后还是在一个拐角处下来了。接下去的就是我不断的问这个问那个了。

有点 可以确认的是,现在在的这个地方已经离我要去的地方很近了。我先是遇到了一名负责清洁的大爷,他看上去也是老北京,我给他看了那张老照片,他皱着眉头说这 个地方很熟悉,但是已经拆了,要指出现在在哪他也说不清楚。于是我只好继续找路人问,于是找到了一位非常老的老奶奶,大概都有80岁高龄了,她看完照片很 是兴奋的说:这个地方啊,就是以前的军队大院(好像是这么说的),不过现在已经拆了一些,旁边那幢大点的房子还没拆,就在前面100米的地方,你可以找得 到的!!我连忙感谢要道别,可奶奶还是很兴奋地拉着我聊,说这个地方以前怎么怎么怎么的。

终于在最后按照老奶奶的指示下还是找到了这个地方,之前就已经路过了,没认出来而已。样子已经改变了不少,房子也拆了一个,但印在墙上的字还是与照片上的一致,找到了地方我还是很兴奋的。我连忙把照片拍下来。

其 实对于我这样一个实习生来说,让我大冷天的花一个早晨时间找这样一个地方不太合适,但想了想还是挺有趣的。“寻觅”的过程其实挺美好的,我坐在出租车里看 着师傅下车一个路人一个人路人帮我找,其中有送奶师傅,北京老居委巡逻队的大妈们,还有拉小三轮车生意的。送奶师傅很是认真的和司机研究地方,手不停比划 着,就像是在电影里的场景一样;居委会老大妈们七嘴八舌地讨论应该是那应该是这;最后还是小三轮车师傅拍板说出了地方,让我果断往回走。

我很想把照片分享给大家看,可是由于版权问题(也就是说不属于我),我不敢随意发到网上。我至今都不知道这个地方是什么地方,这个地方有多重要,只能根据一路问来的人知道好像是以前的老军队大院,然后是个老委员会的所在地什么什么的。

With Rob’s family in Summer Palace

Hung out with Eberz’ family in Summer Palace is my intern assignment. They have been living in Beijing for more than 10 years and now there are 3 kids in their family. I got a picture of them from Joey which was taken 10 years ago in Summer Palace, and at that time their oldest kid was too small hold by Rob in the front of Wanshou Mountain. My work was to take the picture at the same place and same background where the Eberz’ family took the same photo 10 years ago, showing the changes over this 10 years.

fffffff
The comparision of Eberz’s family over 10 years

Eberz's family

The work was quite simple. After that, we continue hung out in Summer Palace and took other photos. The little girl was just too popular that many people would like to take photos with her. Rob told me this has been very normal in their live.

As China now is more and more developed and open, more and more foreigners would like to come to China and even live in China. Like the Eberz’s, Rob work for an international church and their 2 younger kids were all born in China and all of their kids study in Chinese school.

The International Montessori School of Beijing

I visited the International Montessori School of Beijing today, this school is mostly for the kids aged 7-15. I didn’t know whether they have senior school teaching, but one thing I can be sure is that nowadays so many foreigners are living in Beijing that there is even schools to accept foreigners’ kids.

Not only this one, and not only Beijing, I will visit another foreign school in Tianjin tomorrow. Those schools only accept foreigner’s kids, which mean no Chinese students will be accepted. But this is not their desire, it’s because to accept Chinese students are too complicated, they have to build complex relationships with the Chinese government. It’s too hard to make it.

One more thing I would like to say is that I saw many Chinese people send their kids to this university. They are actually with foreign nationalities. I hate their English tone, which they were trying to pretend to as enthusiastic as the foreigner normally does.
