第九届中国(北京)国际园林博览会址,曾是一片石坑、垃圾场。作为长辛店土生土长的我,亲眼目睹了这里发生的翻天覆地的变化——记得在上世纪的1980年至1987年,自己曾经在长辛店乡生活、工作过7年多。那个时候,位于卢沟桥上游的永定河畔,呈现给世人的是满目疮痍、垃圾遍野,一片凄凉的荒芜景象。要说比较平整、可耕地种粮的地方,就数现园博园主会场周边的长辛店乡东河沿村、张郭庄村了。1985年,在多方帮助下,那里建起了北京第一家集体所有制的铁路货场,后成为首钢货场,主要运送煤灰及钢材。就是这一块块较大的沙荒地,赶上小风就刮黄沙,赶上大风就刮煤灰。 The Ninth China (Beijing) International Garden Expo site, was a stone pit, landfill. As a native of Changxindian, I witnessed the earth-shaking changes that took place here - I remember in the last century from 1980 to 1987, I had lived in Changxindian Township, worked more than seven years. At that time, the bank of the Yongding River, which was located upstream of the Lugou Bridge, was presented with devastating, trashy and desolate desolation to the world. To say a relatively flat, arable land to grow grain, the number of Parkside Park is now the main hall around the Chang Xindian Township East Village, Zhang Guozhuang village. In 1985, with the help of various parties, the first rail yard in Beijing, with collective ownership, was established there and later became the Shougang freight yard, where coal ash and steel were mainly transported. It is this piece of larger sand wasteland, catch a small wind to yellow sand, to catch the wind on the coal ash.
