CHONGQING (CQNEWS) -- Because of a street, one can fall in love with a city. For those who live in the Old Street of Danzishi Dafo Section in Nan’an District of Chongqing, this street may be their entire memory of old Chongqing. Nowadays, the hustle and bustle of the past has faded with the passage of time. Although it has been polished by time and tide, Old Street still stands here, connecting the past and the future.

An empty bowl, a pair of dice, two bowls of wine and dozens of peanuts, for the patrons to observe in the Old Street of Dafo Section, this is an everyday lesson, and a daily life. Sharing some gossip, talking about some domestic trivialities, time passed and the friendship gradually became stronger.

Those stalls are full of vegetables, and regular visitors from Old Streets strolled freely. Most of them were residents who lived on Old Street for many years and had established familiar feelings with it. People did not refuse to blend in because of a bit of chaos and decline.

With his right hand holding the shoe repair machine and the left hand guiding the shoe, the passers-by might have thought that this was just a worker at a shoe repair stand. In fact, keys and insoles are all the business of owner Wang Ping. People who come to patronize will always say "Mr. Wang" to Wang Ping firstly. Speaking of the Old Street, Wang Ping said with deep feelings, “I have repaired shoes for 20 years here. I never left. Here is my home.”
