Having a neighborhood life is the "civilized life"
—Thorough of
It was quite unexpected.
An epidemic brought us back to Xiaochenguang's alley life.
There is no salt or soy sauce at home and ask the next door to borrow some;
More rice, divided into two doors;
There is a lonely grandma on the floor, and the neighbors are mostly helping...
Such warmth of neighbors helping each other has happened recently.
ever thanks, the neighbors always waved their hands with a smile:
"Oh, small things, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors!"
✦
The neighborhood relationship is gradually drifting away
✦
There is no contact between a wall, passing by without any conversation. Although you may not realize it, this is the true portrayal of the relationship between modern urban neighborhoods. We share an elevator every day, go out and go in and out, but we become the most familiar strangers. "Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors", and it seems that we are gradually moving away from us.
Maybe you will say that you are so busy every day, and you want to lie down when you get home, who has the intention to get close to your neighbors. Maybe you will say that the modern residential area model hinders human relationships. In today's urbanization, people are defending people, households are guarding people, and every family is looking at people. Maybe you would say that the Internet is so developed now that mobile phones can communicate without the need for neighbors to interact.
However, is there a moment when the simple, simple, and neighbor-sponsored alley life will be remembered by you?

Good neighbors who watch over each other

Miss Gao and grandma
A Shanghai girl named Gao Jie lives opposite her door. As the epidemic spreads, the community where Gao Jie lives is also blocked. She was worried that the grandma's life was difficult, so she wrote a note and posted it on the grandma's house: "Grandma: I am Miss Gao who lives in the opposite door. If you have any help or any materials, you can call me. My family still has some reserves."
After receiving the message, the grandma also wrote a note and posted it on Gao Jie's door: "Ms. Gao: Thank you for your concern. Our family has rich material reserves. My daughter lives with me and can take care of you. If you need to replenish vegetables, you will hang it on the bamboo pole at the door and take it at will. Thank you again for your care." The grandma washed all the vegetables she had stored in her house and hung them in the middle corridor of the two houses.

2 cans of coke exchanged for a small supermarket
A few days ago, a heartwarming news about "12 cans of coke exchanged for a small supermarket" spread among friends.
At first, a resident of a community placed 12 cans of sterilized coke in the first floor lobby for everyone to use for free. Who would have expected that the materials would increase instead of reducing. Among the neighbors, these 12 cans of coke gradually expanded, including fruits, vegetables, snacks, drinks... all available, like a "small supermarket".

Once, I became a slaughterer, and the pork was a bit different from the world
Residents of a community in Yangpu recently bought a whole pig of more than 170 kilograms. Just when everyone was in trouble to share the pork, 71-year-old Professor Ji Rongming took action. It is reported that Professor Ji was a professor of anatomy at the Naval Medical University before retirement. The professor wore white disposable gloves and a household kitchen knife. He cut the pig into even equal parts as he lifted his hands.
Little things like this about neighborhood mutual assistance happen countless times every day in Shanghai at this time. Each piece may be insignificant, but under the mountains of the epidemic, each piece shines.

Unforgettable Warm Time
✦
The times are constantly changing, just like a high-speed train is constantly driving forward. The life of the alley under Shikumen has gradually faded out of people's vision with the fast-paced urban development of Shanghai. Many alleys have disappeared and have been replaced by modern communities. From the alley to the elevator room with three bedrooms and two living rooms, from a door number, you can walk into more than a dozen families to dozens of families sharing an elevator, from the concrete roads on the bungalow to the fine decoration of high-rise buildings, perhaps the modern living environment is unparalleled in the past, but the enthusiastic neighborhood and warm alley life are indeed unforgettable memories for many people.
Over the years, people have been paying more and more attention to "big things in the distance" and forgetting the world around them. The neighborhoods and neighborhoods we live in are becoming “things” we abandon. But the epidemic in Shanghai has allowed many people to experience the value of their neighbors again. This may be the biggest change this epidemic has brought to urbanites. Before the epidemic, everyone traveled between the high-rise buildings in the city all day long. Maybe they only met with their neighbors occasionally when they were rushing to take the elevator. If you don’t know me, I’m not familiar with you. Now that we are forced to stay at home, we can better understand the warmth of mutual help from neighbors and mutual help, and also allow us to gradually understand the true meaning of "Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors."
Just like a netizen said: "I will never be grateful for the epidemic, but I will miss this day of mutual assistance and symbiosis among neighbors." This epidemic will eventually pass and disappear, but I believe that the people of Shanghai who have overcome the difficulties will always remember this warm time of neighbors' help.
