Youngdong Shenzhen-ri Village, the hometown of the heart when we miss the countryside
Yeongdong-gun, Chungbuk, South Korea
"I want to go back!" There are times when anyone wants to go somewhere, like the lines in a movie. At any point in the past, or anywhere in the past, there are times when you will be reminded of your memories. Especially when a big holiday is over. When the word family and home come to mind, busy hands are slowly turning upside down.
A simple station where memories live and the town scenery spread out like a black and white photo
But going back in time is not easy. As time goes by, the appearance of hometown is changing. In the meantime, there are some places that retain their former appearances as if they were passing away. If you want to go back to a moment in the past, take a slow train to Shenzhen station in Yeongdong, Chungbuk.
Shenzhen Station is a small convenience station. The station was opened as a regular station in 1905. The station has been newly built and moved to Gyeongbu Line double track construction in 1934. The history of the 1930s was preserved in the original form of the gable roof and was designated as Registered Cultural Property No. 297 in 2006. When you get off at the small station, you can see the green roof and the words 'the station where the old memories stay'. There are not many people getting on the train and getting off. The scent of dull feelings abounds in history and railroad tracks. The waiting room is small too.
"Once there were a lot of passengers and bustling times. The market was activated and many people gathered, but now it's a very quiet station." The station worker looks at the empty waiting room and explains the old look of Shenzhen Station.
Simple Shenzhen Station Waiting Room
Exiting the waiting room leads to the station square. The square is quite wide compared to the small train station. It is not only the station that Shenzhen has gone through.
Old drugstore centered on the station square
Right in front of the train station is an old pharmacy called Supergang Pharmacy, and at the entrance to the plaza there are two stores that have annual rings instead of common convenience stores. It's like a movie set set in the 1970s.
Old commercial center centered on the station square
The view inside the drugstore is also nice. Bacchus boxes are lined up. Even if there is no sore place, I want to make a ping pong and cross the threshold once.
A video store that brings memories
In front of 'Brother's Club' and 'Reverse Chamber of Commerce' there are beautiful trees. Underneath, a few of my grandmothers are chatting together. It is the scenery of a rural village that I remembered when I was young. Miraculous. Is time passing by here at a different speed?
Membrane Mill
There are shops and houses along the two-lane road along the Brotherhood. There is a cotton office, a restaurant, a pesticide shop and a mill. The neighborhood where Shenzhen Station is located is Shenzhen-li, Shenzhen-myeon, Yeongdong-gun, Chungbuk. It was hard to imagine the bustle of the past without the guidance of a station worker in Shenzhen, who once said that it was a busy and noisy neighborhood. The neighborhood was quiet.
An iron gate is also a medium for memories
"Oh, is this store closed today? You have to open the doors on Saturdays to help the farmers with their farming." This conversation is coming and going. The voices of the uncles on the road can be heard across the street. When someone passes by, they pretend to know and talk with each other.
An iron gate is also a medium for memories
Take a picture of a rusty fence in front of a farm machinery store. A faded video store signage is also pictured. Lack of scenery seems to be warming somewhere. "What do you use to write it?" The uncle who passes by throws a horse. I'm glanced at doing something really useless. Yeah. The scenes were common 20-20 years ago, but now it's amazing that I'm trying to capture every single camera.
The friendly scenery you encounter as you walk slowly through the town
Sometimes the bus, sometimes a car, and the words 'slowly' written on a quiet road are noticeable. Yes, sometimes it's good to go slowly in either side of the world.
The word 'slowly' written on the road sticks to my heart
