Changsha Impressions 3: Driving to the Railway Station on a Gray Day | 9 Jan 2023

9 January 2023. Changsha. Driving to the railway station, random shots through the window. Gray sky outside. The warm sun from two days ago is gone. Southern winter: cloudy or rainy means damp cold—magic attack mode. Windows fog up. Defrost on. Minutes later, fog again. ——— How might a stranger understand Changsha? Probably through Hunan TV—Happy Camp, Super Girl, Day Day Up… Those names filled weekend nights for post-80s and post-90s kids. 1997: Happy Camp launched, setting the standard for Chinese entertainment TV . 2004: Super Girl exploded, pioneering talent show culture . 2008: Day Day Up blended etiquette talk shows with entertainment—another hit . This city: known nationwide through entertainment. ——— Outside the window, Changsha Railway Station approaching. June 30, 1977: this station opened. Second largest in China after Beijing Station at the time. Its 63.1-meter clock tower was Changsha's tallest building . The torch atop—locals call it the "Red Chili Pepper." On the hour, The East Is Red plays—a sound memory for generations . Earlier, 1911: Xiaowumen Station, the first Changsha stop on the Guangzhou-Wuhan railway . Destroyed in the war, rebuilt. 1977: new station at the east end of Wuyi Road, surrounded by farmland and fish ponds . Now: a comprehensive hub—conventional rail, intercity trains, subway, buses . ——— Fog on the window. Clear it. Returns. They call Changsha's winter dampness "magic attack" . Humidity up to 96%. Feels colder than the thermometer says . Northern winter: physical attack—just layer up. Southern winter: magic attack—layers don't help. ——— Where do we begin to understand a city? With its sunny days—warm afternoons by the Xiangjiang, crowds on Huangxing Road. With its gray days—fogged windows, the damp cold magic attack. With how the world knows it—those variety shows, those weekend laughs. With its own memories—the "Red Chili Pepper" tower, The East Is Red on the hour. #慢下来看世界 #用耳朵发现城市另一面 #分享给有艺术细胞的你 #街头摄影 #城市漫游 #应该从哪里开始了解一座城市 #长沙 #第一视角 #在路上收藏世界 #湖南 #快乐大本营 #天天向上 #超级女声 #长沙火车站 #红辣椒 #南方冬天 #湿冷魔法攻击 #SlowDownSeeTheWorld #DiscoverTheCityThroughSound #ForTheArtisticSoul #StreetPhotography #CityRoaming #WhereToBeginUnderstandingACity #Changsha #POV #CollectingTheWorldOnTheRoad #Hunan #HappyCamp #DayDayUp #SuperGirl #ChangshaRailwayStation #RedChiliPepper #SouthernWinter #DampColdMagic #WanderingWithYeJun #YeJunsWorld #NotesOfAWanderer #WhereToBegin 2023年1月9日，长沙。开车去火车站沿途随手拍。 窗外是灰色的天。前两天还暖洋洋的太阳不见了，南方冬天只要阴天或雨天，就开始展现湿冷湿冷的魔法攻击。车窗起雾，开了除雾，没一会儿又起雾。 ——— 一个陌生人会怎么理解长沙？ 可能会觉得，这是诞生了湖南卫视的城市——《快乐大本营》《超级女声》《天天向上》……那些名字，填满了80后、90后的周末夜晚。1997年，《快乐大本营》开播，成为中国电视娱乐节目的标杆。2004年，《超级女声》横空出世，开创选秀海选先河。2008年，《天天向上》把礼仪文化和脱口秀结合，也火了。 这座城市，用娱乐的方式被全国记住。 ——— 车窗外，长沙火车站快到了。 1977年6月30日，这座火车站建成通车，是当时仅次于北京站的全国第二大火车站，63.1米高的钟楼成为长沙最高建筑。楼顶的火炬造型，被市民亲切地叫作“红辣椒”。每逢整点，《东方红》乐曲响起，那是几代长沙人的城市记忆。 更早的时候，1911年，粤汉铁路长株段试车，小吴门火车站是最早的长沙站。抗日战争时期，车站被毁，战后重建。1977年，新站在五一路东端落成，当时的四周还是农田和鱼塘。 如今，它已是集普铁、城际、地铁、公交于一体的综合交通枢纽。 ——— 车窗上的雾气，擦了又起。 想起一个说法：长沙的湿冷，是“魔法攻击”。相对湿度能到96%，体感温度比实际气温低好几度。北方冬天是物理攻击，多穿点就行；南方冬天是魔法攻击，穿再多也没用。 ——— 我们从何处开始了解一座城市？ 从它的晴天开始——从湘江边的暖阳，从黄兴路的人潮。 也从它的阴天开始——从车窗上的雾气，从湿冷魔法攻击的体感。 从它被全国记住的样子开始——从那些综艺节目，从那些周末夜晚的笑声。 也从它自己的记忆开始——从“红辣椒”的钟楼，从整点响起的《东方红》。
