2016年11月，計冠光隨中國外交部領保培訓班來渝考察，在重慶人民大禮堂前留影。

上世紀80年代末，計冠光在重慶人民大禮堂前留影。

闊別10年的重慶，這期間翻天覆地的變化，也許不必用任何語言表達了吧。這些年，中國任何一個城市的日新月異，是全世界的人都有目共睹的。2005年，我來過重慶，那時的重慶像一個大工地，到處是鐵塔鷹架，道路骯臟，擁擠不堪。而今高樓林立，道路縱橫，車水馬龍，萬千氣象……

翻開上世紀80年代末的照片，人民大禮堂巍峨雄立，如今多了牌樓，對面建起了莊重大方的重慶中國三峽博物館。

重慶有大都市的氣質，這里曾是抗戰時的“陪都”。重慶中國三峽博物館和紅巖村革命紀念館里陳列的圖片器物，展示出那時重慶的狀況。

上世紀三四十年代的重慶，展現出中華民族在遭受民族危難時，人民面對外族侵略的堅毅、勇敢和團結，更有革命先烈令人敬仰的豐功偉績，這些都是中華民族必將復興的歷史根源和人文基礎。

重慶紅巖村革命紀念館展出的毛澤東的《沁園春·雪》手稿，讓我重溫了毛主席大氣磅礴、震撼古今的偉人氣魄，令人不由產生對一代偉人開天辟地豐功偉績的感嘆。葉挺將軍在重慶獄中所寫的關于“門和狗洞”的詩《囚歌》，應該重新喚起我們民族對于人類崇高理想的追求。

重慶紅巖革命紀念館展出的毛澤東《沁園春·雪》手稿。

重慶紅巖革命紀念館展出的葉挺在重慶獄中所寫的《囚歌》。

重慶人豪爽、剛毅，也跟重慶的地貌有關，長江和嘉陵江水勢激蕩，兩岸山巒重疊，在這樣地貌上豎起的各類建筑錯落有致，形成一個美麗的山城。兩江新區規劃展覽館前巨大的門形建筑，中間一匹脫韁野馬的雕塑，正應了一個“闖”字，恰如其分地表現出重慶的追求。

重慶西部物流園的大手筆建設，使這個位于中國腹地的山城，成為通向世界的中心。

重慶的食品是辣的，端出來滿眼是紅色的辣椒，紅而辣正是重慶人的性格。在這種食物營養下的人卻是美麗的，紅辣椒辣出了重慶人細膩白皙的皮膚。

街上的車水馬龍已經替代了曾經的“棒棒軍”，大小機動船舶替代了震撼人心的川江號子。拉纖漢子身上滴下的汗水、“棒棒軍”臉上的汗水，澆灌了房屋、橋梁如雨后春筍般生長的城市；這巴渝一方人的腳步走出了重慶通向世界的大道。

重慶再也不是難于上青天的閉塞之地，重慶跟祖國沿海地區一樣騰飛！

祝福啊！重慶！

Editor’s notes:

Ji Guanguang, Dean and Chairman of the Institute of Chinese Language and Culture in US Pittsburgh and the Chinese Culture Center, Chinese leader in Pittsburgh. He came to Chongqing with “Consular Protection Liaisons and Supervisors of the Security Defense Mechanism”class (abbreviated as “consular protection class” below), it had been 11 years from the last time he visited Chongqing. This time, he visited Chongqing Liangjiang New Area Planning Exhibition Gallery(CLPE), Chongqing Planning Exhibition Gallery (CPE), Chongqing-China Three Gorges Museum, Chongqing Hongyan Revolution History Museum (CHRHM) and etc. For this over 70-year-old countryman residing overseas, Chongqing’ s memory in his mind never fade, and the incredible changes of the city made him impressive, therefore, he wrote this article to demonstrate his view of Chongqing.

It has been 10 years from the last time I visited Chongqing, there is no word can describe the incredible changes of this city. Every city in China has never-ending changes and improvement in these years that grasped attention from the world. I have visited Chongqing in 2005, it was like a huge construction site, iron towers are around the city, the roads were crowded and dirty. However, today, the city represents its new face: high rising buildings stand in great numbers, roads are re-built and cross with busy traf fi c, and the atmospheres and environment are new…

Opening up the picture from 80’s, Great Hall of the People was tall and rugged. At present, there is Chongqing-China Three Gorges Museum on the opposite site.

Chongqing has the quality of big modern city, it was the a city established as a second capital during period of the war of Resistance Against Japan. Images and articles in Chongqing-China Three Gorges Museum and Chongqing Hongyan Revolution History Museum represented the historical time of Chongqing.

When facing the national danger and invasion, Chongqing in the 30`s and 40`s has represented the courage, join force, and fortitude, especially the great achievement by revolutionary martyr, which is the historical fundamental of national renaissance.

The poem showed in Chongqing Hongyan Revolution History Museum,Snow--to the tune of Chin Yuan’shand-writing draft by Mao Zedong reviews the great boldness and vision of chairman Mao, which inspired me a lot. The poem about “door and doghole”,Prisoner's Lamentswritten by General Ye Ting, which awaken the pursue of national ideal. People in Chongqing are straight-forward, brave, and fortitude due to the city’s geomorphology. Yangtze river and Jialing river’s fl ow of water are surge, peaks rising one upon another, buildings in this special geomorphology are interspersed, which made a beautiful mountain city. In front of Chongqing Liangjiang New Area Planning Exhibition Gallery, there is a wild horse carve on the gate that re fl ected a meaning of breaking through, which exactly represented the pursue of people in Chongqing.

The great budget to build Chongqing Western Logistics Park has made Chongqing, a mountain city inland China, to be the central road to the world.

Chongqing food are spicy, the dishes are red with chili peppers, red and spicy are exactly the nature of Chongqing citizens. With these sort of food, people in Chongqing are beautiful because the peppers whitening and smoothing their skin.

The busy traffic on the roads replaced the heavy-duty labor, powerboats replace the boat trackers. Boat trackers and heavyduty labors’ sweat had irrigated the houses, bridges. The city is developing rapidly and letting people in Chongqing step on the roads to the open-up world.

Chongqing is no more a city that difficult to get in, it is as same speed of developing as coastal cities in China.

Best wishes to Chongqing!
