关于与沪成长

About GUWS

“ 与沪成长 ” 是一系列与上海年轻人一起完成的 “ 声音漫步之旅 ”。他们生于 80 和 90 年代，这些语音不仅记载了他们对成长之地的亲切回忆也从讲述者的角度对地理地点讲行过去和现在的对比。同时讲述者会通过本身的成长经历也反映了过去 30 年里上海的讲步与发展。这些实地录音由讲述人操沪语完成同时录音也捕捉纪录到当日真实的环境声音供世界各地的听者感同身受。

“Growing Up With Shanghai” is a series of soundwalks with young Shanghainese who were born and raised during the rapid modernization of their city in the 1980s and 1990s. These recordings capture not only their most intimate memories as they grew up, but, when contrasted with the present state of each location, also reveal the progress and growth Shanghai has undergone in the past 30 years. The current sounds of Shanghai, including that of the Shanghainese dialect, create a comprehensive present-day audio document that future generations can experience.

[2:01] Before, before this part had a lot

of river reeds. Now, there are barely any left. A long time ago, I remember these trees were not there. Everywhere was full of reeds and they grew very tall. Now, I see that all the reeds have been removed. Also, this embankment wasn’t here before. It was just open and people could just jump down right on the shore below. I remember when I was a kid, the shore was right up to the edge here. I think it was about 1989, when I was 5 or 6 years old. Sometimes I would get a broken pot, a broken pot, from home. I would cook instant noodles, run down by the river scoop up a bowl of water, boil it and cook the noodles. I was so happy. Coming here now, I see the spot where I used to cook my noodles.

When its hot during summer vacation, people would just come to the river to swim. Every year you would hear about people drowning. Drowning... I had a friend that told me that he would swim here and at this stone wall he would jump in. Although I was a fearless swimmer as a kid, I never had the guts to swim in the ‘ 长江 ’. Ah, even today I don’t have the courage to.

[4:07] Here, the road is blocked to not

let cars through. They put stones here. They weren’t there before. Also, this road if you follow it, if you pedal or go along it, if you go just follow the coast here, you would reach Chenjia Town.

[11:16] 码头边上，箇额嗰是公交车终

点站。我估计，当我记事体开始，到现在，我估计我还呒没生就有箇嗰站头。印象当中当时人小了交交关关，箇着站头。小辰光，小辰光箇站头对我来讲，就像，相当于啥，就像阿拉现在去浦东机场，跑进去额嗰感觉，大得像啥一样，浦东机场嗰感觉。。现在呢阿拉看看，看看像啥？坏棚棚一只。但是我觉着箇样也蛮好，还是蛮有历史意义额嗰，起码，到现在依旧保留勒辣箇搭。现在弗晓得以后会弗会关脱吗？随着乘船嗰人越来越少，弗晓得以后会弗会关脱。

[12:24] 正好，箇搭有嗰饭店叫向明

饭店，箇嗰饭店是原来老里八早我一嗰好朋友，高中同学伊爷娘开嗰，伊，我那箇好朋友基本上呢是，初中三年和高中三年基本侪生活勒辣码头上。箇嗰向明饭店，现在好像，现在呢我看箇地方关门了。我反正，箇小辰光，就是讲，从伊嘴巴里，听到

[11:16] 码头边上，这个是公交车终点站。这个公交车终点站，我估计，当我记事起开始，到现在，我估计我没出生就有这个站头。印象当中，当时人很小，所以印象当中记得很多，这个站头。小时候，小时候这个站头对我来说，就像，相当于什么，就像你们现在浦东机场，跑进去的感觉，大得像什么一样，浦东机场的感觉。。现在你们看看，看看像什么？坏棚棚一只。但是我觉得这样也蛮好，还是蛮有历史意义的，起码，到现在仍然保留在这里。现在不知道以后会不会关掉吗。随着乘船的人越来越少，不知道以后会不会关掉。 [12:24] 正好，这里有个饭店叫向明

饭店，这个饭店是原来很久我一个好朋友，高中同学他的父母开的，他，我那好朋友基本上呢是，初中三年和高中三年基本都生活在码头上。这个向明饭店，现在，现在好像，现在我看这个地方关门了。我反正，这小时候，就是说，从他嘴巴里，听到的，就是说，有一点基本可以代表崇明的码头有多少繁荣，人流量多少大呢。我记得他有一次在高中里和我说，他说，他初中的时候，有时候一天的营业额，好的时候可能要达到利润也不知道是营业额要达到一千元。他说，他那个时候，抽屉里钞票自己反正自

Jin Mao tower and the Pearl Tower. Today is pretty clear, if you look, you can see a little bit of the shadow of it, right? I remember before when I was young, there were two boats that would dock here. Now, there’s a calm silence. This is also great. I think that it has also changed for the better. Sometimes we all need some quiet, it’s so tiring otherwise. [Get on bicycle. Ride east along Buzhen Nan Lu.]

[9:40] Living in Shanghai and occasionally coming to Chongming, you see? The weather, the climate, the temperature, especially today’s weather. I think it is quite comfortable. Bicycles, ah, bicycles. It has been already 4 years since I have ridden a bicycle. Four years I haven’t ridden a bicycle. Nowadays I don't use them. I have another deep memory.

Buzhen 额嗰，就是讲，有一点基本可以代表崇明嗰码头有多少繁荣，人流量多少大呢。我记得伊有一次勒辣高中里畀和我讲，伊讲，伊初中额嗰辰光，有辰光一天嗰营业额，好嗰辰光可能要达到利润也弗晓得是营业额嗰要达到一千元。伊讲，伊搿嗰辰光，抽屉里钞票自己反正自己想到拿多少就拿多少，随便就拿一些钞票，我记得那时。可想而知，搿个辰光箇嗰码头有多少，多少繁华啊！人流动量多少高，箇嗰辰光。

己想到拿多少就拿多少，随便就拿一些钱，我记得那时。可想而知，那个时候这个码头有多少，多少繁华啊！人的流动量多少高，那个时候。在你的左手边，你可以看到现在这里，我后来听见说，现在要造一座庙啊，造一座庙。很久以前，这是叫燎原电器厂，是我的爸爸上班的地方。我的爸爸，他在电镀厂也不知道是电器厂上的班，那个时候我记得他做过办公室主任的。我小时候反正，放了学，就从门岗上进去。有时候，门岗还要留住我，问我去找谁？我说找我爸爸，（他又会问）我的爸爸是谁，然后我就把爸爸的名字报给他，然后噔噔噔跑到办公室，找我的爸爸。现在好了，现在崇明的经济都没有了，现在的厂房都被外国人承包掉了，后来基本上关光了，现在都造庙了你看到伐？我看，庙比那种企业单位效益要好。对伐？烧烧香，拜拜香，我看那种和尚还养得胖的来，工资比那种大学生高一点。怪类，怪胎，畸形社会。

[16:00] When I was a kid I remember I always followed the big kids to play at the dock because I always felt that the dock was a place for older people to play. It was a magical place. My parents always tried to stop me from going but I the more they forbade me to go, the more I felt it was more exciting, the more thrilling it was, and the more I wanted to go. Sometimes when I followed the big kids, when I was a kid, I wouldn’t take the bus. I didn’t know how to take the bus! Sometimes it was also because I didn’t have any money to take it. The bus was from Buzhen to South Buzhen. It really was a big deal! Back then the thought of walking was different than it is now. Now, walking, if you walk half an hour it’s unbelievable. Back then, walking had a feeling of exploration. Walking was kind of like, like walking around half of the world. Ha ha! Don’t mind this traffic light, it’s just for show. There is no car here. You can keep going. This house, this house, I think it 24

高档场所，你看，这种地板可以讲没有变过，可以讲小时候地板怎样，现在仍旧怎样，你看一只圈子，一只圈子那里风凉的地方全是石板凳，溜溜后坐下来看一会儿还去溜。这是一间门房间，出点钱换溜冰鞋，有时穿得溜冰鞋不好还可以换一双，那时几十个人，大家围着转。我那时是小小孩，主要是成年人，他们会溜。这个印象相当深。我那时一直瞒着父母跑来玩，（一直溜到）自已用了不少钱，一直溜到自已会溜为止。这个印象蛮深的，而且我记得两头溜来溜去，乓、乓、乓、刹车刹不住最后在横档停下来，手总要撑在这横档上，每次溜好回家后，手痛得来，第二天这里骨头撞得痛得来，这印象相当深。这地方还保留着。 [ 离开体育场。]

[24:14] 今天是礼拜天了，人也没有。

我这部破脚踏车，看它破，咕噜咕噜声音，勾起我小辰光踏脚踏车时的回忆，脚踏车声音没有。现在基本上全是电瓶车，电瓶车近几年来，近四五年来，当然不仅仅是局限于崇明岛，应该来讲整个全国主要偏二线三线的小地方发生的较大的变化，脚踏车基

originally had a lot of private hotels. Originally at the docks, when the ferries were running, there was so many people all over the place. The business was good here. Now it looks like the ferry isn’t running anymore. The people are gone too. This hotel I think is not doing well. It’s run down. It’s very run down. The coming trend is: “Chenjia City will become very popular, Buzhen will become very peaceful.” I think this change is good.

[18:30] Chongming Dao, Chongming Dao’s main transportation, as far as most people are concerned, the most important mode of transportation is the bus. The bus… The buses here and the one’s in Shanghai have slight differences. Basically, they use the first character of the place where the bus route begins and the first character of where the route ends. I remember when I was a kid when I took the bus, I always got on the wrong bus. Back then, I didn’t know what ‘Nan Bu route” or “Bu Chen route”meant. I took a lot of wrong buses back then. If you weren’t careful and got on the wrong bus, you would go to Niupeng City. The you would

一辆车，毕竟省力得多了。

我箇部破脚踏车，看伊破，咕噜咕噜声音，勾起我小辰光踏脚踏车时嗰回忆，脚踏车生意呒没。现在基本上侪是电瓶车，电瓶车近几年来，近四、五年来，当然弗仅仅是局限于崇明岛，应该来讲整个全国主要偏二线、三线嗰小地方发生嗰老大额嗰变化，脚踏车基本上侪畀电瓶车所取代。一千元左右买一辆车毕竟省力得多了。

When you were a kid and got on the wrong bus, it was so scary because you didn’t know what to do. It was a big deal because you didn’t know what to do. Chongming Dao is still very big but the public transportation is actually not that convenient. Basically, when I think about it, I think that the Buzhen when I was a kid compared to the Buzhen now was much more busy. Especially north Buzhen. Nowadays Buzhen looks more dead than alive. Basically, when I was a kid, North Buzhen I remember because compared to Qidong 5 it was much better. A lot of Qidong people had businesses there. They would come to North Buzhen and set up shop there. It was a very busy place.

I also remember, when I was in Middle school as well as in high school, every year during Yuan Xiao Jie 6 we would carry rabbit lights and throw fireballs. In south Buzhen, it was so crowded. Everyone was so squashed together, squashed to death. There was more people there than there was on the Nanjing Dong Lu pedestrian street, and even more on top of that. This 28

situation is related to the economic development of Shanghai. A lot of people, because Shanghai was doing very well, everyone moved to Shanghai because you could get a higher salary. This left the old, sick, or disabled here. So Buzhen eventually became more rural. If there was a way out, people would basically take it. [ 进入崇明县堡镇光明社区 - 居民委员会堡镇南路 269 号 ] Right here, this is called the ‘Buzhen Cultural Community Sports Center’. When we were kids we just called it the ‘sports center’. This place has a deep meaning in my memory. It was probably when I was almost 10 years old. At that time we loved roller skating. The roller skating rink is still here. I remember I would grab one 1 fen and one 5 fen coins 7 out of my piggy bank. The 5 fen would be for the bus to get here. The rest would be to skate here. The cost was 2 ‘jiao’ to skate for half a day. At that time, the roller skates were made of metal with 4 metal wheels. ‘Ge dang, ge dang’ was the sound they would make. It was so busy, there were people everywhere. When I 30

was young through my eyes, this place seemed so huge. Now when I take look, right next to here is a basketball court. A lot of people come here to run and exercise. Before, it was Buzhen’s one and only sports center. You can see the skating rinks floor hasn’t changed a bit. It looks just like it did when I was kid. You can see its one big circle. That rest area had some stone benches. You skate a bit, then rest, then you’d skate again. This room is where you would pay the money and get your skates. If the pair you got wasn’t good, then you could get another pair. There could be 30-40 people going around. There were some little kids skating but mainly there were older kids skating since they knew how to skate well. I remember this place quite well. I would never tell my parents I was going skating. I spent a lot of money here and eventually learned how to skate all by myself. I remember it well.

[24:14] Today is Sunday so there are no people here.

This bike is a little bit broken, look, it makes a sound, ‘gulu, gulu’. It reminds me of when I rode a bike as a kid. There was no sound then though. Nowadays everyone basically has electric scooters. In the last few years, maybe the last 4-5 years, and not only limited to Chongming Dao, you could say that the entire country in second and third tier small cities have experienced this change; the bicycle has been replaced by the electric scooter. For about 1000 [31:59] 那个老板，我印象当中，高 RMB you could buy a scooter and it 中的时候，记得他的饭店搬到，搬到 would make your life a lot easier. 街上去了。现在不知道在吗，这下好了，这个记忆是在，是将近 20 年前 [25:40] In fact, the number of bicycles 的事情了。20 年前的事情了，但 is far fewer than before.

memory. Do you see? These four characters: ‘Shao Nian Zhi Jia’ 8 . Shao Nian Zhi Jia. You know, when I was young how much these words meant to me? These four characters’ weight… This Children’s center, you could say this place is the a same as what the Beijing’s ‘Tian Shan Ren Jian’ is. Inside here, I tell you, has everything- you can learn painting, and other classes. You could watch movies, the teachers would organize activities, you could act in a play. Basically this place had everything that a kid would want to do or be interested in. Basically, this children’s center was so lavish. It was a big deal. Inside it had everything. Oh! It looks like its not around anymore. The inside looks like its all gutted. The Children’s center is an important memory for me. This place has a place deep in my heart. ‘Shao Nian Zhi Jia’ these four characters mean a lot to me. This place, this is the Chongming county Buzhen elementary school. What do I remember about this elementary school? I remember in 5th grade or the beginning of 6th grade I had a class, what was its name? It was a foreign language class, an after-school English class. I remember very clearly

it was in this building here. I think that it still is in these two classrooms here. At that time, this is deep in my memory, basically I lived in north Buzhen and I would ride my bike here. Every week I would come here 2 or 3 times, sometimes it was in the afternoon on the weekends. I would come here to have class for a few hours. We had to pay for these classes. Or at night after school until around 7 or 8 o’clock I would come to the English language after-school class. I remember, what was it called? English video class. I remember when I first started, I was so enthusiastic about it. About half-way through the course I realized it was pretty much a waste of money. We didn’t have class, it was just playtime! Also, there is another thing worth mentioning- what did it look like when we came to class? Picture this, we would all ride bicycles to class, then every person would carry, not a book bag, but briefcases! Leather ones, actually! Inside would be a really thick book. This was a pretty particular thing. Every person would be carrying a leather briefcase. They would even compare the brands, ‘What brand is your bag?’ 38

[28:51] I have another memory about this place. What is it, you ask? Across the school, now it is something different. When I was a kid what was here? I remember there was a restaurant that specialized in making barbequed beef skewers or I think it was lamb skewers. [29:00] The taste was… in my

childhood… it belonged… basically you could say that this memory could never be forgotten. The taste was, really... In my whole life, now that I think about it, there is no other food that could compare to the taste of those skewers. I remember back then that these beef and lamb skewers, I have never compared it to the other stores because not many stores sold them. Now I am preparing, after many years, to go to the restaurant and talk to the boss. I want to finally see if the beef and lamb skewers are still as good as I remember of if it doesn’t taste as good as before. I remember the main reason we went to that ‘fake’ English class was to come here and eat the beef and lamb skewers. It was 1 yuan for 1 skewer or something like that. I think it was 5 jiao, 5 jiao for 1 skewer 40

Buzhen or something. Afterwards, the price eventually went up. Basically, right before class we would come here and buy two skewers, yeah? During class my mind was not on the lesson, I didn’t even know what the class was doing, sleeping or whatever, I really didn’t know what was happening. During the breaktime, I would run over again and buy two more skewers. The second time, the third time school was over. I didn’t count how many I ate and I would buy more to bring back home. I remember it well how the beef and lamb skewers tasted so good. They tasted so good. The boss name is Mr. Liu. Yeah, Mr. Liu. When I ate the beef and lamb skewers, it was the first time in my life that I ate something like that. Before then, I only saw it on television. You couldn’t really find it in Chongming yet. I think I was almost 10 years old at the Worker’s club. They would have some barbecue there. That was the first time that I tasted skewers. But they wouldn’t cook it well. If you weren’t careful, after you ate one you would probably get a stomachache. At first it would taste very good, but then you would start to feel sick not long after 41

堡镇

Buzhen that. I asked them one time, ‘how do you make your skewers?’ He said he put opium in mine! I highly suspect that he really put opium! After I ate it I felt sick, but I still wanted to eat more. I still wanted to eat more.

[31:59] I remember that boss, when I

was in high school, I remember that restaurant moved right here on this street. Now, I don’t know if it is still there, though. Last time I remember it was here but that was 20 year ago. 20 years ago. But this is something that is engraved in my bones, I can never forget it. This proves that the beef and lamb skewers he made were actually very good. Just talking about it makes my mouth water. When we get there let’s go in and see if the restaurant is still around. Let’s see if Mr. Liu is still around. [Enter alleyway just to the left of Buzhen Nan Lu #63. Walk to the end and turn right. The restaurant is at #65 Zheng Da Jie. [ 正大街 65 号 ] See page 44.]

[32:41] So much traffic here. I would 43

堡镇 always come here to eat. Come on, let’s see if Mr. Liu is still here. I think he probably left already. Woman: “Can I help you?” Ben: “I wanted to see the boss here.” Boss: “Is the Sigua and fried egg finished yet or not?” Ben: “Do you still have Beef skewers and lamb skewers ?” Boss: “We don’t sell that anymore. We stopped a few years ago. We don’t sell the beef skewers anymore.” Ben: “Oh, I wanted to find the beef skewers and lamb skewers I are before.” Boss: “Beef skewers? Lamb skewers?” Ben: “I tell you, the first time I ever ate beef skewers and lamb skewers I was almost 10 years old. I was going to school at the Buzhen elementary school across the street. We schoolkids would always come here to eat. How can you not remember me? I still want the taste of your beef and lamb skewers. ” Boss: “We don’t do that anymore. My apprentice, he still does that.” Ben: “We came today at a bad time. You’re too busy. I didn’t see your mother today.” 46

Buzhen Boss: “Oh, she went to the countryside.” Ben: “I can never forget the taste of your beef and lamb skewers. I will still search for it, ha ha!” [Leave restaurant, ride bicycle north, following the alleyway.]

[36:40] This Buzhen street belongs to

south Buzhen. It’s the most popular street. Back then, I remember you could buy clothes and everything here. Basically you could come to these stores and buy anything. You could say it’s the same as a big shopping mall in Shanghai. I think it’s the same as Shanghai’s big shopping malls. Before, this place used to be a movie theater. Now what has it changed into? This street, this street I’m quite familiar with. When I was a kid and had nothing to do, I would ride my bike here and cruise around these two streets. I would ride everywhere around these two streets. This street’s name is… there is no name. It’s name is just ‘Old street’, I can never forget it.

[Stop in from of the Buzhen Assembly 47

Buzhen Hall.]

[37:46] This movie theater, this movie theater has been demolished. Now its changed into something else. This movie theater, let’s go take look what it says. It was Buzhen’s first and only movie theater. Actually it’s not really a theater. This is a big assembly hall. You could call it a big assembly house for big meetings. When the local town government wants to have a big meeting they would have it here. This is an assembly hall. When it isn’t being used, they show movies here. I remember in middle and high school during winter and summer vacation they would reserve the whole theater. I remember this place would be so noisy. There would be so many crazy kids. Actually, this movie theater and the Worker's Club are deep in my memory of this place. [38:45] Now, its 12 o’clock. Let’s go

back to the dock and drive to Nanmen. Two of my friends are waiting for me to eat lunch. Today let’s end it here.
