The Memories of Time in Kuanzhai Alley

In the hustle and bustle of Chengdu, Kuanzhai Alley is like a quiet chapter of time, silently telling the stories of the past. Stepping into this ancient and quaint neighborhood feels like traveling through time, back to a leisurely and carefree era. Along the alley, the residences with their grey bricks and black tiles are arranged in an orderly fashion, with each door concealing a story from the past. A gentle breeze carries the fragrance of flowers, refreshing the spirit. Occasionally, the laughter of children breaks the tranquility, yet it also adds a touch of liveliness to life. The most eye-catching are the vivid sculptures. Whether standing or sitting, their varied postures seem to narrate the stories of yesteryears. Among them, a sculpture of a man riding a bicycle with a child seated behind him is particularly striking. Both faces are brimming with happiness, a scene that radiates the warmth of family and evokes memories of the past. In Kuanzhai Alley, every step is a journey, and every view is a painting. Here, one can find not only the traces of history but also the warmth of life. Let us seek together the beauty that time has forgotten.
