计冠光，美国匹兹堡中华文化语文学院、中华文化中心院长、董事长，匹兹堡华人领袖，2016年11月随“外交部领保联络员及安全联防机制负责人培训班”到访重庆，这距他上次来渝已有11年。此次来渝，他参观了重庆两江新区规划展览馆、重庆市规划展览馆、重庆中国三峡博物馆、重庆红岩革命纪念馆等地，对这位年已七旬的侨胞而言，重庆在他的记忆里不曾褪色，而重庆翻天覆地的变化更令他惊叹，他提笔写下本文，表达了对重庆的喜爱—

2016年11月，计冠光随中国外交部领保培训班来渝考察，在重庆人民大礼堂前留影。

上世纪80年代末，计冠光在重庆人民大礼堂前留影。

阔别10年的重庆，这期间翻天覆地的变化，也许不必用任何语言表达了吧。这些年，中国任何一个城市的日新月异，是全世界的人都有目共睹的。2005年，我来过重庆，那时的重庆像一个大工地，到处是铁塔鹰架，道路肮脏，拥挤不堪。而今高楼林立，道路纵横，车水马龙，万千气象……

翻开上世纪80年代末的照片，人民大礼堂巍峨雄立，如今多了牌楼，对面建起了庄重大方的重庆中国三峡博物馆。

重庆有大都市的气质，这里曾是抗战时的“陪都”。重庆中国三峡博物馆和红岩村革命纪念馆里陈列的图片器物，展示出那时重庆的状况。

上世纪三四十年代的重庆，展现出中华民族在遭受民族危难时，人民面对外族侵略的坚毅、勇敢和团结，更有革命先烈令人敬仰的丰功伟绩，这些都是中华民族必将复兴的历史根源和人文基础。

重庆红岩村革命纪念馆展出的毛泽东的《沁园春·雪》手稿，让我重温了毛主席大气磅礴、震撼古今的伟人气魄，令人不由产生对一代伟人开天辟地丰功伟绩的感叹。叶挺将军在重庆狱中所写的关于“门和狗洞”的诗《囚歌》，应该重新唤起我们民族对于人类崇高理想的追求。

重庆红岩革命纪念馆展出的毛泽东《沁园春·雪》手稿。

重庆红岩革命纪念馆展出的叶挺在重庆狱中所写的《囚歌》。

重庆人豪爽、刚毅，也跟重庆的地貌有关，长江和嘉陵江水势激荡，两岸山峦重叠，在这样地貌上竖起的各类建筑错落有致，形成一个美丽的山城。两江新区规划展览馆前巨大的门形建筑，中间一匹脱缰野马的雕塑，正应了一个“闯”字，恰如其分地表现出重庆的追求。

重庆西部物流园的大手笔建设，使这个位于中国腹地的山城，成为通向世界的中心。

重庆的食品是辣的，端出来满眼是红色的辣椒，红而辣正是重庆人的性格。在这种食物营养下的人却是美丽的，红辣椒辣出了重庆人细腻白皙的皮肤。

街上的车水马龙已经替代了曾经的“棒棒军”，大小机动船舶替代了震撼人心的川江号子。拉纤汉子身上滴下的汗水、“棒棒军”脸上的汗水，浇灌了房屋、桥梁如雨后春笋般生长的城市；这巴渝一方人的脚步走出了重庆通向世界的大道。

重庆再也不是难于上青天的闭塞之地，重庆跟祖国沿海地区一样腾飞！

祝福啊！重庆！

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!
