The United States is not only on the other side of the ocean, but also outside the Sixth Ring Road in Beijing.
In Yanqing, there is a community called “Hometown America”. If you walk in and go for a lap, you can meet a Chinese-English bilingual master nine times out of ten times and have a dog walking in the pocket with US dollars.
On these few square kilometers of land, Beijingers are also foreigners.
If it’s not the welcome message from Hebei Unicom, the big brother of the Brigade, Bianshanjing B, who strayed into the hometown of the United States, always thought that he had hit the throttle to Beverly Hills.
The Indians and the American Cowboys will greet you at the entrance of the park. If you don’t go in, you will change the environment of American culture.

Entering the community, you will see the history of the United States on every street here.
In the hometown of the United States, each building will be given an American name, what is everyone’s house called Aspen(Aspen), Elk (Moose) and Route 66(Route 66) It only takes 500 meters to walk, and the pioneering road in the western United States is over.
Single houses across the street, the wine tasting hall and golf course are open to residents every day, and the receptionist who will pay tribute to every passing car in front of it… This is not the current United States, this is Hemingway’s America, this is Woody Allen’s America, this is a middle-class America that has not yet lost ground.
Hometown, Hometown and Hometown
In 2015, the hometown of the United States was reported by the New York Times, and they called the enthusiastic communication with the New York Times the “Village Media Meeting”-all the representatives of the villagers who participated must have a mouthful. Thick and standard country sound.
“I move every day to get up, walk the dog from my own big garden, walk along the west street designed as the main living area, walk all the way to the church, then go to the coffee shop for breakfast, go back to build the garden After the flowers and plants, rest until noon, go to the Western restaurant to eat barbecue, or play golf or work in the afternoon, and at night, you will sit quietly by the fireplace and read a book.”
“This is the day of my (Engraving stereotypes into life).

Mr. W said,Every winter during Christmas, the small houses here will be lit with lights, and the Chinese signs of the shops on the commercial street under the night are no longer clear. The hometown of the United States can also be fake. The lack of beauty is that Beijing’s winter is always short of snow .
“I led my daughter to Disneyland Los Angeles three times, and she said that the lights at home were better.”

The original hometown of the United States also specially opened a resort area for tourists, where you can experience a two-day tour worth 3000 yuan, take a bath in the hot spring bath at night, and sleep beautifully in a log cabin with a fake bonfire I felt that the next day I returned to the East Fifth Ring Road.
“Human desires are really generated after the first experience.”
Icy buildings and living facilities cannot close the distance between the North China Plain and Wyoming, but cultural life can do it.
In a high-end community with dance clubs and drama clubs, new media editors can find jobs.

My heart will always be Broadway
In the beginning, Mr. W actively participated in many clubs. Later, he felt that the activities here were a little too wild.
On some occasions, the participating members do not know the other party’s real name, and often call the other party the nicknames “vanilla”, “little lion”, and “old bastard”. Changing the name next time they participate is like a A masquerade in the office building of a famous enterprise. Don’t know anyone, immerse yourself in romantic freedomIn the atmosphere.
If you talk speculatively at the party, you can also go to the health club of the Orenda tribe in your hometown-in the United States of America, its name is called “Mental and Physical Health Museum.”
The Psychosomatic Health Museum is a magnificent building that is much taller than the surrounding American bungalows, and it is also almost located in the geometric center of the original hometown of the United States. Looking at the perspective of the drone in the promotional photos, there are quite a few stars Feeling.
“After all, mental and physical health is the fundamental purpose of our coming here.”
Yes, in the hometown of the United States, whether it’s a church, an aviation club, a choir, or a farmer’s association, it represents the simple desire of residents to pursue mental and physical health. Mr. W even learned flower arrangement, embroidery, and baking from his neighbors. ——If you want, you can isolate yourself for a lifetime in this environment.
But people who are better off in this world tend to be more afraid of death. In the United States of America, the Museum of Mind and Body Health can fully relieve your death anxiety.
Living here, you may no longer believe the bourgeois bullshit: Heaven is not the look of a library, but it should be like a mental, physical and health museum. The hometown of the United States also has a rich collection of human civilization. Artistic achievements.
“I have been searching for a few years, and found such a place, a place where I can die old, and a place where my soul can rest.”
But in the eyes of Mr. W, the hometown of America has changed, and he misses it more than ten years ago. At that time, Bourgeois Jr. had not completely occupied this town, and people really had a little “American spirit”. .
The group of people also created the Yanqing version of LOVE PEACE UNITY: unload the burden, communicate freely, and share everything.
The place where there was no fence is now installed by the owner with a stone fence
We can’t restore the original American hometown 16 years ago. I heard that they are all “a little bit of idle money and a little bit of affection”. At first, neighbors will really practice spoken English and send apple pie to each other.
Although this imitation may seem awkward, every time Western history moves eastward, what remains in the world is superficial effort.
Some people go far away, others move far away.
When you still pinched Central Park in New York with hot memory during off-hours in “Urban Skyline”, the residents of the original hometown of America have already experienced the death and life of the American dream-life here has changed. It’s getting more and more refined and more and more stressful.
“Once I thought, it would be nice to live in a Chinese-style community in Dongzhimen.”
These 1,000 people came for their dreams, but in the end they only harvested one luxury home.
Recently, every time when he wants to leave his hometown of the United States, Mr. W will sit in the driver’s seat and imagine that a piece of country music is playing on the car radio, and then the DJ’s monologue:
“Hey, old man, go on the road! Open your trunk lid, put on whiskey, cigarettes and gasoline, nothing else, let me accompany you through America. Stop fucking this dead house. On Route 66, you will never miss it again.”
