When it comes to the vegetable market, many people's minds immediately flash with noisy voices, greasy floors, and a damp and fishy smell. However, in many places, after some renovation, the impression of this traditional vegetable market is already a thing of the past. The current vegetable market is becoming more comfortable, smarter, and more sophisticated. Traditional counter style operations are still visible, but the dishes on the counter can be traced back to the cloud; Authentic old flavors are still easy to find, but trendy items that appear to be a mix and match are also frequently appearing. It's said to be strolling around the market, but in fact, there are also unexpected cultural and entertainment activities such as reading activities and intangible cultural heritage exhibitions here. It is not an exaggeration to say that some vegetable markets have become complex cultural living spaces. It seems difficult to fully explain the enthusiasm of young people for the vegetable market solely based on their good shopping experience. In the era where everything is online, shopping in the market is more like an effort for people to rebuild their living circle. With the advancement of urbanization and the high popularity of mobile Internet, the "nearby" elements that constitute the life circle gradually fade out of our life, such as peddlers, community collective life, etc. Many people are no longer interested in "nearby". People are no longer so concerned about how many neighbors live in the community and what new landmarks are on the streets of their hometown, but more concerned about public events on the Internet, and their daily life is more "outsourced" to virtual networks and services. For example, if we want to buy something, we rarely go into small shops on the street to choose. Our first reaction is to open the instant delivery app on our phone and let the merchant deliver it to our doorstep. People are relying on the internet like never before, but real social interaction is becoming increasingly scarce. Instant satisfaction makes people infatuated, standardized transactions give people a sense of certainty, but this also takes away the human touch and sense of belonging, making people feel less grounded and more powerless. How to rebuild 'nearby', reconstruct one's own living space, and regain a sense of control and perception over life? This is not a groundless complaint, but a serious social issue. In this search for 'nearby', the vegetable market is the easily accessible and cost-effective existence. It is not only a geographical "nearby" that anyone can go to, but also a place where one can vividly feel the changes of the four seasons, touch the pulse of life, and have a real human experience. Perhaps you are still not good at choosing vegetables and bargaining may seem clumsy, but you are so specific to life that even the connections with strangers bring warmth and brightness to people's hearts. These rich experiences and feelings inspire our love and pursuit of life, helping us to re understand society and the world. From this perspective, strolling through the vegetable market may be a small matter, but it is also a serious matter. Rebuilding the 'neighborhood' requires more small, realistic breakthroughs like vegetable markets. Perhaps it's a community park, an interest market, or a shared study room, I believe it will light up more lights of life and awaken more vitality. (New Society)
