In a sea of grey wall of red tile, it is so, crowd, different.
In a private residential building located on the top floor on top, there was a hanging garden. Note that it is not built on the roof of the plane, but the slopes covered with red tile roofs, gardens also presents a multi-level structure. From the air, it becomes fire around a Green Island in a sea of red roofs, and cast beautiful reflections of trees in the neighborhood! Year round, there are 100lai flowers and plants, here thrive, flourish, especially in the spring, the roof gardens, is more like the legend of the garden of Eden, bees to honey swallows to nest, even duck hatching eggs, nurturing the next generation!
Natural ecological recovery on the roof at this point. But it's not the middle of nowhere, it was loading and top floor of a building in the North-East. Adjacent to the second ring road, standing here, Beijing's landmarks just around the corner, Ming dynasty city wall and East Gate Tower of just hundreds of meters away, renowned big pants CCTV and the towering World Trade Center III, are also visible.
Although very close to the world, but to sit in a small garden, immediately enter another world, people forget about earthly troubles, here to enjoy a moment of meditation.
Here, purple Wisteria waterfalls can block the scorching sun for you, big bunch of grapes hanging on the wall, make you mouth water, various flowers bloom before your eyes, a variety of fruit breeding, growing, apples and pears in your pot on the side branches covered, feel free to pick a plum in his mouth, infinitely sweet.
Reed should not be long in the Reed marshes it? But it's also in the roof swaying in the wind, there are many, many, list I'm afraid this book to just go where only awhile, you'll be drunk.
What are flower-like figure, able to think up such a roof? This wonderful character called Gao Jianfeng, 68 years old. In the community, his uncle was a nondescript plain when he speak, shows a thick southern accent, all of a sudden allow you to distinguish between him and old man in Beijing. His hometown is Anhui Huangshan.
He is in a good mood most of the time, a feminine look. His every statement with a hearty laugh, that kind of visceral feeling of joy was palpable. I was even a bit worried about his voice will cause discomfort because of excessive laughing.
But he is such a happy man. He apparently never leave your hand to create this paradise of joy.
Due to this private ride of rooftop gardens have become a famous sight in Beijing, Deke has also become a celebrity in the circle. More CCTV host, including Chen Duo had come to visit, not long ago, the poet violet also hold their own poetry reading.
Since I became famous, roof garden of strange visitors came to visit his home flooded, just two days ago, a delegation made up of more than 20 cars opened to his house downstairs, dozens of people crowded into the roof of his house, Gee wonder and ask questions. He is never bored, and warm reception!
He said: "I hope you come here to take a look at, look at my roof garden is doing, they go back to good reference, make your own garden! ” Uncle not scared for people to learn, to disturb his peace, has a dream in his heart, it is that everyone can live in a Green Garden, the entire Beijing into a green sea, "a green sea, only big pants CCTV and China World Tower, like the Green two piece of sail in the ocean! ”
Uncle entered the home in a six-floor, the first surprise was the poor environment – cement ground, in addition to a large wall-mounted TV, and window displays of flowers, only simple tables and chairs, bookcase, beds, is no small thing. Thieves he be disappointed to go home. Uncle told me that is decorated, because decoration are detrimental to health, he was not even air conditioning, because they do not need, "people living in the top floor like a furnace in the summer, my house has cool it! ”
Uncle in the humble home, you can still see his love of plants – full of andrographis Paniculata on the window sill, and lush to the point of arrogance. In the corridor of his house corner, also a white, aroma filled the corridor, he said because it was winter, and outdoor cold, honey dew freeze, so moved to the corridor.
Even in the bathroom with no Windows or hanging a pot of Chlorophytum, due to spider plants like light, uncle bathroom light made a shield blocking one side, all the light is projected onto a spider plant body. So good care of a potted plant, uncle shows the tenderness of plants inside.
Uncle actually living alone in this, he has a daughter away at College, and his wife lived in the House, Xicheng District, sometimes came to see uncle. In the noisy metropolis, it belongs to him alone heaven.
After you open the door leading to the balcony, you will be able to experience what is journey into amazing caves.
Uncle of balcony square, the size of a room, here, becomes uncle's paradise starting point. That was in the mid 90, uncle when I first bought this House, wanted to decorate their own small garden here. On a balcony outside the wall, he welded iron frame, as the main carrier of his flowers and trees from the outside to the inside, three-layer plant to be planted, the outermost is more small trees, to prevent sand and large flowers, small flowers on the inside. Floral ornamental, small flower bursts of fragrance available.
In order to build the balcony for a garden, he studied a variety of growth habit of the plant in northern climates. More than 10 years, and through a variety of "destructive testing" in the process, he knew growth habit for more than 100 kinds of flowers and trees.
He also has a special means to drive away the birds, traditional method doesn't work, one afternoon he was not at home, a Hawthorn tree was the birds away. Later, he learned from a farmer in a way: in the flower tree branches hung CD, CD blinding light in the Sun, like a burning flame, birds see it, horrified to get around this tiny city island.
After the master of the personality and interests of various plants, he begins to become friends with them, as if to feel their breath, their joys and sorrows. After several years of trying, he turned their balconies into an area where a beautiful landscape!
Soon, he wants to continue to expand his garden, but there is no room. His thought is: the use of the roof space! Is the slope of the roof-tile roof. That difficulty, no difficulty for a lot to build Xanadu crazy uncle. He studied the structure, found the use of load-bearing walls, in load-bearing walls built up a solid steel structure of architecture built on platforms, used to host a variety of pots, and trees, as well as a platform for human activities.
He built platforms on the roof, was built first, followed several years of time, built two. Due to a slope roof, built the platform height is different every time, and finally, he used the stairs connect platform, the effect of a vertical garden in the sky. From the balcony of his house, entered the roof garden, must pass through a metal ladder. When on the ladder and through caves surrounded by green, entered the open roof terrace, Garden into a dream.
Platform for the last time was last year, and most major overhaul this platform at the roof top, had the greatest area of approximately 40 square meters, became the main part of the roof garden as a whole, in the space of human activity, floored with boards. Stand here and look around, be familiar to the bird's eye view of the city of Beijing, or you can leave the world behind, from a pot of wine among the flowers, or tea, and peace ... ... Uncle and many of his friends thought to experience their stay here for a while, or long romantic ... ...
I asked uncle to build the roof gardens, neighborhood interference before? He said building balcony garden when reporting to the neighborhood called, ran rebuild procedures in ensuring safety, without disturbing adjacent construction. Due to his balcony garden has a reputation and become a model of community greening, in many cases, even neighborhood Committee who led the visitors, so no one block later rebuilding work.
Everyone dreams of paradise, but most people suffer no conditions, so stay away. Uncle told me a stunning figure, he is most parts of the rooftop garden, built last year, a total of only 20,000 yuan, and 10,000 yuan for the purchase of various materials, and 10,000 yuan for construction costs.
Last year, he installed an automatic drip irrigation system solved the whole roof and terrace garden automatic irrigation problems, only cost 3000 RMB. Just living my dream, costs to be met by far much smaller than at times.
Uncle for their paradise so drunk, in the main entrance to the garden, he made of tree branches hanging a plaque: "Tao Yuan". Purple wisterias on the rack, hanging a bamboo carved out of the old man smile. That bright smile appears, then Uncle like my smile.
Uncle green dream originates from when? He told me that due to growing up at the foot of Huangshan, had grown up in a green environment, granted. Urban tourism until he was more than 10 years old to the field, found in the Park a beautiful pots of potted flowers, to his surprise: "the original plants and flowers in addition to the ground, long in nature, can also be planted by hand, longer in the pot! ”
It allows him to see another wonderful sight – by their own hands, to create a world of green and flowers. Any place in your home, creating a green paradise, and don't need to have a large piece of land is not available! Growing up he went into the army, and for nearly 20 years. Demobilized cadres entered the national ministries, first in the Ministry, Ministry changes after merging, he was transferred to the State General Administration of quality supervision work.
Officialdom, he is a man without a want nothing. The late 90, he was primary officials ' identities, was sent to mianchi, Henan as Deputy Magistrate, attachment to one year, this promotion is plated gold back to Beijing, but that spring, he visited several villages in the County's poorest, was deeply shocked by farmers ' poverty, he decided to stay away, want to help local farmers get rid of poverty.
In mianchi County deputy magistrate's seat for eight years. Eight years later, the County removed hat in poor counties. He said, this isn't a person's credit. Meanwhile, he rises in the heart of the new ideal: to the North, to the desert, where to find a poor counties, continue to engage in poverty alleviation. Henan province, but love, don't let him go, and sent him to Shangqiu city Deputy Mayor, this is six years, until he retired.
In a career of more than 10 local officials, a topic he has not forgotten farmers out of poverty. While his roof garden, say, are not just built to his own elegant, he wants to pass on his balcony and roof planting experiment, see if it is possible to develop a set of housing, employment, and health in one of the well-off homes in eco-mode.
He tried on their balconies and roof planted with more than 100 species of plants, ornamental flowers, there are also many pure cash crops, such as Chinese medicine. "Through my trials, a family using their yards, creating 350,000 yuan a year growing revenue, it's no problem at all! ”
For many years he invested their pensions in the "green well-off families" research, running around, survey, and to preach his philosophy. He believes that he has found a way to help both farmers and let them live in heaven's green home.
Along with smog worsening in recent years in Beijing, and the rise of middle-class white-collar workers in escape from the city of the wind, Deke House rooftop garden, hidden in the smog capital of a unique landscape, a sanctuary of life as a model.
He plans for "green well-off family" plans to run, and he also saw his rooftop garden, equally significant for urban living people. "There are a lot of green areas in Beijing have been wasted if every rooftop gardens, that's the equivalent of the entire Beijing, Chaoyang Park, more than more than more than 40! ”
He said that living in the garden, which is the ultimate dream. "West of Eden, paradise in the East, the Arab world has ' hanging gardens '! "He wanted his rooftop garden to inspire more people, attracted the attention of more bodies, so that his dreams of garden city took a step closer to the reality. "A pot of Chlorophytum in the House more than 100 hectares of lawns, 10 km away is more important to you! "The uncle said.
