But Yang Jing didn't care. He knew that one of the armed policemen was purely for his own protection, while the other, younger policeman, was there to accompany them throughout the process as an interpreter.
However, when the three of them were alone and Yang Jing spoke fluent Mandarin, the two policemen immediately looked as if they had seen a ghost.
"Officer Li, Officer Wang, although I am British, I have always been very fascinated by the great Chinese culture. Since I was a child, I have been learning Chinese from a Chinese in Chinatown in our city, so I can speak such fluent Chinese."
Yang Jing's explanation made the two people understand a little bit, but they seemed to be more wary of Yang Jing.
Yang Jing had no way to deal with this kind of vigilance. Who made this situation happen in this era? This is not the era of the future, where foreigners can be seen everywhere on the streets of big cities. In this era, when foreigners enter the country, the personnel of relevant departments must remain highly vigilant...
Yang Jing had no way to deal with this. He couldn't take the initiative to expose his own past.
Just like that, accompanied by two police comrades, Yang Jing strolled around the peaceful and primitive "city center" of Pengcheng. Without even taking any photos, he hurriedly took the train back to Hong Kong Island.
It was not a pleasant feeling to be under surveillance, but Yang Jing was really enlightened. It turned out that this was what Pengcheng was like in early 1980.
Although it is called a city, Pengcheng at that time was actually not much bigger than a small town.
Walking into the city center, the commercial area near the East Gate of Luohu in Pengcheng in the future, that is, the East Gate Pedestrian Street, is not a pedestrian street now. In this era, it is called Jiefang Road. It is just an asphalt road with a width of only five or six meters, and there are only two-story residential buildings on both sides. The high-rise buildings that sprang up in the future were nowhere to be seen at this time.
As for the Yingbin Garden Square near the old street, at this time it was an open space full of trees with stone benches and stone tables under the trees...
In Yang Jing's opinion, Zhongying Street at that time was not as good as the old Jiefang Road. The streets were full of ordinary people dressed like farmers. Occasionally, a person riding a big Golden Deer bicycle would pass by, which would attract many envious eyes...
In any case, Pengcheng at this time really did not look like the later generations. At a glance, all you could see were those old two-story houses with decades of history...
After taking the train back to Hong Kong Island from Pengcheng, Yang Jing spent another two or three days completing the travel procedures to Yanjing. He then took a plane north and arrived in Yanjing in early 1980.
In February, people in Hong Kong and Pengcheng can wear only pants and jackets, but in Yanjing in February, it is still cold enough to freeze people like a dog. Fortunately, Yang Jing bought down jackets and other winter clothes in Hong Kong, so he didn't freeze like a dog.
However, Yanjing of this era was really primitive. Even though Yanjing in later generations has already surpassed Hong Kong Island by a long way, we have to admit at this time that Yanjing of this era is still not as good as Hong Kong Island.
In those days, the most common thing in Yanjing was bicycles, as if all the bicycles in the world were concentrated in this great city. No matter where Yang Jing went, he could see a flood of bicycles.
In Hong Kong Island, there are bicycles, but there are more square cars. But in the streets of Yanjing, cars are rare, except for those round buses...
But the air in Yanjing at that time was really good and the sky was really blue, which was far from what Yanjing could achieve more than 30 years later.
Yanjing of this era is more like the capital of this great country. Although it lacks modern elements, its ancient and majestic atmosphere is something that few people in later generations can experience.
Although Yanjing in later generations was larger and more prosperous, it seemed to be missing something. Only in the Forbidden City or those protected old courtyard areas could one vaguely feel that hint of simplicity.
In this era, you can feel the simplicity and simplicity that has been accumulated over thousands of years of history in this city by just looking at any place.
If Yanjing after more than 30 years is a giant who has regained his youth, then in this era, Yanjing is an old man full of wisdom. The former may be more vital, but the latter can make people intoxicated.
PS: I would like to thank “Zi Yan Tian Jiao” and “Bing Zhen Ba Du” for their 500 reward.
