My park and I
The old park which I mentioned in several novels as a scrapped park actually is DiTan. The traveling field was undeveloped many years ago in this area, this park was treated as a wild place and also it was rarely thought of by people.
DiTan is nearby my home or my home is not far away from DiTan. Generally speaking, it was kind of destiny to me. It had already been located there for 400 years before I was born, and my grandmother have settled down nearby the park since she brought my father to BeiJin at her young age. During the next 50 years, they moved for several times, always around the park, which just made them get more and more close to the park. So I always felt a sense of destiny: It seems like that the the only aim for the park have stood there and went through many changes for almost 400 years was just waiting for me.
It waited for my birth and the moment when I disabled my legs suddenly at my most hubris ages. During the 400 years, the red color on the gate was getting less shining, and the wall was becoming shabbier, but the pine trees around the altar grew greener and the wild grass grew everywhere. It was the time for my coming. The park had prepared everything for a frustrated person when I entered the park in my wheelchair at an afternoon 15 years ago. It is easier for a body to feel time going by and see clearly the shadow of himself when the sun was becoming bigger and redder on its unchangeable old track and the park was covered by the quiet sunshine.
I have not left the park for a long time since I came across it at that afternoon. I understood its meaning at once. As I wrote in a novel“ It is must be a special arrangement by the god if you can find such a quiet place in a congested city.”
I could not manage to find a job, a way, in the beginning years after I broken my legs, I felt that I had nothing, so I went to the park in my wheelchair just because it was a place which let me escape from the real world. I wrote in that novel “ I have no place to stay but to pass my time in this park. Just liking the working time, I came to the park in my wheelchair when others were going to work. There was no people took care of the park, some people went through it to save their time, and the park would get active for a while at this time, then it would be quiet.”
