Wang Xiaodong, Tokyo, Japan / text
I have rarely write their own experience of living in Tokyo, Japan, the only one or two are absolutely did not say what is wrong in Tokyo, on the contrary, I said is a good place. However, a friend gave Chen Danqing I see the most outrageous, and I have read too much worship of the more outrageous articles in Japan. My article is not specific to Chen, only that Chen be my only opportunity for the writing impulse. Chen Dan-The reason why this article became ugly I want to talk about the opportunity in Tokyo, it is precisely because I've had he has a good impression, that he was a little strength of character (mainly because of his anti-matter from Tsinghua University) . However, today China's so-called on the knees.
Tokyo, I talked about the ugly, of course, one-sided. However, my one-sided, at least have a solid factual basis, unlike the people who xenophilia Such is Life can be a little unfounded, completely abundant projection of their own feelings.
one. tokyo little green space, only the night to cover up its ugly
This is the year in April Xinhua News Agency reporters Zhang Hua and Cai Xiede : wood and wood park is surrounded by lawn, here is the music fans of the world, is also a paradise for sports enthusiasts. next to the Meiji Shrine are large lots, hard to imagine the famous avant-garde fashion store in Omotesando street a few hundred meters away. feelings. I went to Tokyo, the first thing was painful, that is not available to walk the green. and I lived in Beijing, the park in front of the altar, around ten minutes walking distance of Lake Park and there are young people ; nine kilns Park a hundred paces to impressive advances. At that time, the old student said to me: little green Tokyo, the only thing green, generally in the Imperial Palace is near the bar mm boasted that the press place a few slices of it. < br> I feel very little green space in Tokyo whether their subjective feelings, or a fact? Let us look at the contrast between Tokyo and Beijing. Tokyo, Palace , and the area is quite Taoranting Park, arrived in the Taoranting the park. And then there are Ueno Park, the ratio of old to the altar of my childhood a little bit slightly larger than the park, than today's New Earth Temple of the expansion of the smaller lot, even if it arrived in the Earth Temple. Then there was the Imperial Palace. First of all, the Imperial Palace of the Forbidden City in Beijing area of less than a quarter; Second, it is not like the Forbidden City open to the public year round, but is only open two days a year (Emperor's Birthday and New Year's Day the next day) mm which is almost not be open, and can be considered if it does not open, there might be an area of considerable Beijing Zhongnanhai it, well, this is not where it is saying we care about. Of course, the above That Xinhua News Agency reporter Shui Liao, National Palace Museum is the palace building, not green, and the Imperial Palace is mainly green; we even if it arrived in the Jingshan it. Well, that is so much, the other green space in Tokyo is not worth to mention (and perhaps a few worth mentioning, I have overlooked? please friends add. but even it can not change the results of comparison). we calculate it, how much Beijing is not a large parkland arrived off . Summer Palace, Yuanmingyuan Ruins Park, and we will not mention it, that far, we can not enumerated, the; further Xiangshan, Reclining Buddha, the Beijing Botanical Garden and many more not many of us go in; in the construction of Olympic Park (only this one to all the Parks Tokyo mm equivalent to those as small as a slap in the face of the more is not entered. Yuyuantan left Beijing, Zizhuyuan, North Sea, Zhongshan Park, Cultural Palace of working people, Longtan Lake, Chaoyang Park, Tongzhou Canal Cultural Square (the place many Beijingers do not know, but in fact quite good, and free) hh, also do not forget Weiming Lake, Peking University's (the official law are enough to destroy Tokyo in the mm of this course is my personal subjective preferences, and the vast majority of places in this article differences in the figures are based on objective). familiar with the people in Beijing can also add many, many. the so-called Tokyo The average area of only five or six thousand square meters, less than a residential area in Tongzhou my door trying to fix a small piece of public green space (more than seven thousand square meters). This small green space in Beijing is also They are not used to tube called the to: the vast majority of the Beijing residential area near the release point of the kind of sports equipment for the elderly, the children where the level of exercise, even a few the best, most famous, but also in the garden than the Summer Palace Park Garden of Harmonious Interests in passing out. On the whole, Beijing's green space is not as Paris and London, which Beijing unusually dry climate. all of us feel that too little green space in Beijing. But the statistics show: Beijing The green is much more than Tokyo, in both absolute and per capita area is an area equivalent to Tokyo several times. 新华社 记者 对于 Tokyo's praise of green and where to start it?
Tokyo, the main outline of what? What is not green, it is by no means archaic buildings. Tokyo's old building was not bombed by the Americans is to dismantle the Japanese themselves, most of the rivers are also filled, and even mentioned the Meiji Shrine, the original one destroyed by American bombs had gone, and now we see this is the newly built What's now safe to split it, so after a while and then a wider I said, is Shanghai's Xujiahui (compare Lujiazui) plus Tianjin Economic and Technological Development Zone, is a skyscraper (at that time looked very cattle, are now being rapidly than Beijing and Shanghai) plus sub-type reinforced concrete matchbox factory. Tokyo some flavor, is the possession of the main building of the cracks where dirt pollutant. Beijing and Shanghai, lack of possession of the gap scale pollutant? Certainly not lack, which city will not be missing, if you want, there are a lot in the city it wants to plug the gap.
