Island Ferry by Xu Jun
Floods occurred in the Bingshen year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty (1416), and the Wu family’s house in Huitan Village, Lanxi County, was destroyed. After the severe famine, Wu Yuanfu Gong moved to live on a sandbank built up from the waste beach. After that, other surnames moved in one after another. This is where Zhoushang Village, Xiangxi Town, Lanxi City comes from. The civilization has been passed down for 608 years. The two villages of Zhoushang and Huitan, which share the same surname as Wu, have been traveling by small boat for more than 300 years.
The Huanghuang Dam was completed in the 59th year of Emperor Kangxi’s reign (1720), which changed the shape of the ancient river course of Lanxi. Under the pattern of “Shigu Mountain three hundred years ago, Huangwantan three hundred years later”, the Xiangxi section of the Daxi River From Xiangxi Wharf, it was moved westward for a kilometer to the west of the village to form a boundary. Xiangtou Pier 16 has also been moved to the island. However, the boats on the island are like forests, and merchants are busy. The village on Zhoushang is like a city. It has prospered and was once the seat of the Zhoushang District Government and District Office.
I was born in Xiangxi Village, a thousand meters away from Zhoushang Village. When I was 6 years old, my aunt pointed to a piece of land next to Lijiang Pit at Zhoushang Dam and said, “These fields have been given to our family. From now on, we will grow our crops in this way.” “From this, I have the cultural elements of Zhoushang Village in my heart. The most unforgettable thing is the first time I took a passenger ship in 1980. Because my mother was an educated youth, she was promoted to work in the county cotton textile factory. Carrying big bags and small bags, my father and I followed my mother to Zhoushang Pier and boarded the largest ship on the Lanjiang River. Passenger steamers come into town. After that, I sometimes walked to Chaushang Pier to take pictures of the docks and boats.
In the new era of common prosperity, Zhoushang Village still has a unique brilliance beside the Lanjiang River. At the end of 2022, the Xiangnu Highway Bridge from Zhoushang to Huitan will break ground. This rainbow will firmly tie the family, friendship and love on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. I am happy and eager. On the eve of the ferry being replaced by a bridge, I raised my camera to freeze the village scenery and culture; to freeze the surging waves, surfing ferries, riverside piers and ferry culture, on the prosperity of the motherland, Add colorful flowers.
On the island, on the boat, how many winds and rains, how many springs and autumns, how many traces are left, all are remembered with this set of pictures, remember! Remember nostalgia.
