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.

Recorded August 2, 2009 at 2:31 p.m.

几乎走散了三个小时后，我终于和 Lemon、她的姐姐、她的男朋友 Jason 在枫泾镇重逢。实际上，枫泾镇离上海大约还有一个小时的路程。枫泾镇是一个古老的江南水乡，就在上海与浙江交界的地方，已有几百年的历史。这个小镇经历了惊人的变化，现在已经被修葺一新，更加受游客的青睐，但它仍然保留了本土特有的风情。与其他江南水乡相比，来这里的游客不算多，所以游客喜欢到此一日游，放松心境。这次漫步是我们最喜欢的旅行之一，因为这是我们在上海之外的唯一一次旅行，加上我们与 Lemon 和她姐姐的谈话十分风趣，十分欢畅。她们谈到了在小河里抓小龙虾，吃烤青蛙，还有那摇摇晃晃的趸船，所有这些描述都充满了欢声笑语。神秘的小道、令人心旷神怡的风景、简约的乡村生活，让人觉得这是个不容错过的好地方。

After almost three hours of getting lost, I finally meet Lemon, her sister, and her boyfriend, Jason at Feng Jing town which is actually about one hour outside of Shanghai. Fēngjīng is another ancient water town right on the Shanghai – Zhèjiāng border and its history dates back several centuries.

她们的方言与上海话有点不一样，普通话词汇较多，中间夹杂着少量与典型的上海话听起来不一样的方言词汇，让人不由得想起上海之大以及上海城之外还有许多美丽的地方值得一游。

This small town has gone through some amazing changes. The water town area has been renovated and is more tourist friendly but still maintains its local vibe. Not as many tourists come through here as compared to some other water towns so it is still a relaxing day trip destination. This walk is one of our favorites, not only because it is the only walk we recorded that was outside of Shanghai city, but also because of the playful and animated dialog of Lemon and her sister. They talk of catching crawfish in the stream, eating Xūnlāsī (roast frog), and falling down stairs – all with a laugh and a smile. The sometimes mysterious alleyways, delightful views, and the easy country life make this a place not

They would sell lots and lots of ‘Xūnlāsī’ during that time. ‘Xūnlāsī’ is basically a roasted toad, maybe not that many people would eat it at other places, but this is a delicacy amongst people who live around here. They are tasty because they eat the bugs from the fields which gives them added flavor. People who love ‘Xūnlāsī’ get addicted to them: they will eat over 5 kg each time. My younger sister is a big fan. Every time she is back home, she will eat a lot and even bring a lot with her when she leaves.

[5:28][Walked into a dead end looking for a way out.] [Walk out of the local market towards Fēnglì Lù.] When I was young, I didn’t like helping with housework. Now that I am older, I will sometimes help my parents cook. After I started working, I realized how hard it must have been for them to clean and cook while still working. I want to help to make their life easier so sometimes I will cook something that we all love.

[6:04] My favorite dish when I was

young was snow peas, but back then I did not know what it was called. My mother would tell me it is called ‘jade oil pea’ 1, now whenever I see it at the markets it gives me very special memories. When I was young I never knew one vegetable’s name from another. I never helped with housework, let alone with buying food.

I thought the book had a very deep meaning even though I couldn’t really understand most of it. This was the only bookstore in this town, so a lot of kids would hang out here especially on weekends. Nowadays, not so many kids come here anymore. Back then there was a lot less entertainment for kids, so we spent a lot of time here. Comics like ‘Doraemon’ 3 were very popular. Kids like us didn’t have a lot of free spending money and it was impossible to buy the whole set. So instead, we hung out at the bookstore and read every issue. This was the only place where it was free to read and the āyí 4 there never kicked us out. A couple of

Recently, the most popular food is ‘Xūnlāsī’ and ‘Bāngbiān Yú’ [ 浜边鱼 ], which is a river fish that is very fresh and tasty. It goes very well with pickled greens. There is also a pork feet dish… Basically, there are 4 ‘treasures’ in Fēngjīng: ‘Fēngjīng pork feet’, ‘dried bean curd’, ‘Fēngjīng Yellow Wine’, and ‘Scholar’s Cake’ 7. Everyone who comes to Fēngjīng should try these 4 things because they taste really good. Especially the ‘Xūnlāsī’ – the huge, fat ones. It is usually cooked with a lot of ginger and scallions and a special pot is used to smoke it. The taste is very good. Personally, I love the BBQ style: the type with tons of cumin, mmmm yummy! Before I turned 20, I never liked ‘Xūnlāsī’, but for some reason after turning 20, I started falling in love with it. I found out later that ‘Xūnlāsī’ is really good for lowering the body ‘fire’ 8.

When I realized that I had no idea where I was, I felt so helpless. So I just started screaming to my friends: “Hey you guys, hurry! I am here!” At last, they found me. Fēngjīng is an old town, that’s why there are a lot of small alleyways and streets. This is a snack area next to the Old Theater.

家里拿了东西，有的拿锅子，我拿个了盆，结果生火生的满脸灰，却给他们一盆水滑了一跤给浇灭了，觉得好凄凉，那个时候。差不多我们小时候玩的东西就这么多，可能男孩子有更多，小女孩没有那么粗旷，所以也没有那么多。小时候的记忆就这么多，小学、中学都是在一起的。每每到一个地方都会想起来，小时候是多么的好，那么无忧无虑的，虽然那时候没有这么多好吃的好玩的也不能出那么远的远门，但是，可能你走到离你家五十米外你就很开心了，我说我今天要出去玩了，就是去个同学家里，觉得他妈妈烧的菜好吃，自己家里包的粽子在自己家里吃觉得不好吃，在别人家里吃自家包的粽子就是觉得好吃，这种思想可能很多小朋友都有，我也不例外。

[31:49][ 停顿 ] 这条街走完我想我们就差不多了，古镇也就一条 “ 和平街 ” 一条 “ 北大街 ”，三桥为一个中心，差不多我的记忆也就保留在这块范围了。其他好像也没有什么了。

who cooked for us here and once in a while, when I got to see my parents, I would feel so happy and excited. Next to the ‘People’s Commune’ building there is a Post Office. Pen Pals were in fashion when we were young. Although we lived not too far from each other, we still loved buying letter papers for 2–3 cents and writing something to each other then going to the Post Office to mail the letters out. I don’t have many memories of this because of the heavy school work. #60 – something Hěpǐng Jiē is our math teacher’s home. It was a very scary place to us, and we always tried to walk around it. Unless I absolutely had to, I would not pass by here at all because I was so scared to run into my math teacher. This teacher would ask us to do a lot of math problems and take practice exams. It was so scary but now that I think about it, it was not really a big deal. I guess all kids were born to be afraid of teachers. If we go forward from here, there is ‘Nóngmín Gallery’ [ 农民画馆 ]. This was renovated together with the old town, so I do not have many memories about this place.

Yun Fang: Fēngjīng has a lot of snack stores, for example this one is called ‘Sānqiáo Snack Store’ [ 三桥小吃店 ].

[20:46] The Fēngjīng ‘Shāomai’ [ 烧麦 ] 12, wonton, and steamed pork buns are all really good. Also, because I loved fish and crawfish when I was young, my parents would always buy them from here. They were really tasty.

[21:10] There are a lot of snack stores

here. They were not here when I was young. I think it is probably because of the redevelopment of the old town and the increased traffic of people.

[22:09]

Lemon: When I was young, there were not as many snack stores, only a couple for ‘Shāomai’ and wonton. Talking about ‘Shāomai’, in Shanghai, most of the ‘Shāomai’ are made by sticky rice, but the ‘Shāomai’ here are made with meat. They are smaller, like the ones you would make at home. Because a lot of people love to eat them, more and more ‘Shāomai’ stores have opened. The taste is very local but very good. I was only able to eat them when I was 30

Fengjing sick. Whenever I was sick my parents would ask, “What do you feel like eating?”. I would say, “I only want steamed buns or wonton” then I could have a bowl. These were considered special foods for a kid back then and were not eaten often. I always wanted to get wet in the rain just so I could catch a cold and eat the good food. I was so easy to please. It’s fun to remember all these childhood memories. [Cross Běifēngqiáo turn right after the bridge.] I fell really hard here once before. Right here where the ‘3 Bridges’ [ 三桥广场 ] 13 are meeting. [Map #8] This is the crossing between Hépíng Jiē and Běidà Jiē [ 北大街 ]. I used to live here for a bit when I was young because taking the bus to school was not convenient. One rainy day, I was rushing and ended up falling down the stairs. Somehow I have many memories of falling down the stairs. The stairs are probably my worst enemy. When our house was first built, when I was 6 or 7 years old, I fell down the stairs from the second floor and I just lay there silently. There was a big bump on my forehead and all I was 31

Fengjing

枫泾 thinking was, “Why wasn’t I watching where I was walking?” From then on, I would always remind myself to be careful during rainy days. Up ahead is my younger sister’s elementary school.

[24:04]

Yun Fang: No, not my elementary school, my junior high. I started here from pre–junior high to 9th grade. Only my pre–junior high and 7th grade was in this school. This is a very old school, almost 50 years old. Our father and a couple of our teachers all graduated from here. After college they came back here to teach us, perhaps because they felt nostalgia for their old school. Remember the school’s 60 year Anniversary when I was in grade 10? It was such a big deal. In front of us is the road I passed by everyday when I was in elementary school. I saw the old town slowly developing from 7th grade to 9th grade. All the houses and the piers were slowly built right underneath my eyes, so it really feels like home here. We moved to the new campus which is also 34

Fengjing big. We had a really big playground during junior high. It was so much fun during PE class and our PE teacher wasn’t tough at all. We just passed the home of our classmate. His father was our teacher, and he would say “Hi!” to us. Such a great feeling.

[25:58]

Lemon: This is the Běidà Jiē #300 block. When I was young, our teacher asked us to do volunteer work. I was the captain and our team’s name was called the ‘Little Pigeons’ which meant ‘Peace’. I forgot who gave us that name. This is the #300 block is where an old lady lived, we would come here to help her out whenever we were free. Her place is part of the old street alleyways and very dark. We would help her fix the walls. She was over 80 years old. When we first went there she really scared us. While we were using newspaper to fix the walls she would keep saying, “There’s a shadow, a shadow…”. All the girls were so scared and didn’t want to come anymore but we had just formed the ‘Little Pigeons’ volunteer team, so we had to continue 35

枫泾

Fengjing

枫泾 no matter what. We were even being praised in front of the whole school! Who knew we would quit after only 2 months? It was just too scary. Poor old lady, she was all by herself. Her son was away and was seldom home. We helped her with fixing the walls, picking vegetables, cooking, washing rice, etc… It felt great to be able to help a senior citizen. On the days she felt better, she would tell us about her childhood and about her work when she was younger, but we were still scared of her. You know, kids are kids – dark places and ghost stories always get the better of us. Also, because we were all too scared to go, my position as the ‘captain’ was also forfeited. Up ahead is the ‘Shīwáng Temple’ [ 施王庙 ]. It is our Elementary School. [Map #9]

[28:16][Discussion.]

Yun Fang: [When you reach Shiwang Temple turn around and walk back to the 3 Bridges intersection] In the elementary school there is a well. Someone died in there. Every time we walk by it’s a little scary. After a while they used stones to seal the well. Our Elementary 38

Fengjing School is also very old. There are always local town school competitions being held here. Every time I came to the old town, I felt really excited to see the other schools compete. I felt that they were so big and new.

[29:28]

Lemon: This is about all the places we remember when we were young because we were just kids when we lived here. We were here from elementary school to junior high then we left to go to another high school [outside of the old town]. This is the most concentrated area for entertainment. We all used to hang out here and there was a lot to do like catching crawfish, fishing, or having a picnic at the park. I even remember burning a small patch of grass during a picnic in the park because we were so excited lighting the fire. This other time, we finally started a fire for the water to boil the crawfish, but we accidentally spilled all the water and put out the fire. We were hopeless. It was such hard work to pick up all the wood and gather all the cookware from home. We all wanted to enjoy a delicious meal of crawfish but instead 39

枫泾

Fengjing

枫泾 we got dirty and smelly just trying to light the fire which we accidentally put out. Who knew a little slip could ruin everything? It was so sad. This was about all we did when we were young. Maybe the boys had more fun things to do, but girls like us were not as crazy, so we didn’t do as much. These are all memories combined from 1st grade to 9th grade. Every place is special and brings back good memories. It was such a happy and worryless life. Although we could not eat as much good food because we couldn’t stray too far away, we had fun even 50 meters from our home. I would always say that I wanted to hang out at a friend’s place. I liked to go because my friend’s mother’s cooking tasted real good. When I ate homemade ‘Zòngzi’ 14 at home it never tasted as good as the homemade ‘Zòngzi’ at my friend’s house. I think all the kids thought like me and of course I was also the same. This is about it after this street. The old town is basically the Hépíng Jie, Běidà Jiē, and at the center is the ‘3 Bridges’. Most of my memories remain in this 42

Fengjing area. Mmm… there’s not much left to say.

[32:13][Map #10] [Walk to the top of

Qīngfēng Bridge and stop] Walking on this bridge, it is great to get the summer wind here. Right at the bottom, there is a movie theater. I would come here for movies when I was young, and our school concert competition was also held here. The competition would be between our classes. Each homeroom would pick 6 kids. I would feel so proud and excited to be picked because I would be representing my class. Actually, I was really bad at singing, but I just loved participating. They would give us make–up and put a little bow in our hair. It was so exciting. It’s so funny how easily excited and moved I was when I was young.

[33:14] This is about it. Let’s stop here

today. We have talked a lot about when we were young and the fun things we did from 1st grade to 9th grade as well as all the fun things about living here. Taking this short walk it feels like everything happened just yesterday. Good memories and bad memories. If 43

枫泾

Fengjing we have a chance to do this again in the future, we could definitely think of even more to talk about!
