A Sentiments Of A Suit

　　
Perhaps it was Shanghai that opened the port earlier. Suit It's also popular early. In my childhood, I liked to wear. Suit Because wearing that kind of clothing Feel generous and act easy. At that time, my parents asked me to make a brown color for me. Suit I put a handkerchief in my left pocket, straight and dignified, and took a picture with my brother at the Park photo studio. About a year ago, this yellowed photo is still in my album.

　　
After that, the family was financially strapped. Dressing Most of the shoes are from the diligent hands of the mother. Especially sweater An old, old, and young woman is knitted by her. So I joked her as " sweater Factory director. Now she has been in the West for several years, but I still wear the sweater she knitted. Of course, she could not make a suit.

　　
Shanghai's suit is said to be first-rate. Recently, I saw a paragraph describing the story of Raymond and other famous shops in Shanghai moving to Beijing: 50 years ago, India Prime Minister Beijing He made a suit, but he was not satisfied. After many times, he did not feel fit. So, foreign ministry officials accompanied him to Shanghai to find a tailor to make changes. I was born in Shanghai, my native Yuyao, and my mother is Zhenhai. I have long heard that "tailored tailors" are the best players in making suits. Little nekhiru has changed their hands. Suit I feel quite comfortable, beautiful and very satisfied. To this end, Premier Zhou Enlai instructed dozens of service stores in Shanghai, such as Raymond, "wave", "Hongxiang", "made in inches", "China", "Cathay", "Pu Lan", "violet", and so on. Dozens of service shops such as clothing, hairdressing, photography, washing and dyeing, catering and other industries moved to Beijing. Later, several famous ones. Couture They are merged into one, specializing in making clothes for public servants who are mainly leading and going abroad. In the era of havoc, some people wanted to be changed to "anti imperialist clothing store" because of its location in the East Jiao min lane, but there were also foreign friends to customize clothes. This name is not natural. Hence renamed " Hongdu clothing store "

　　
In the early days of reform and opening up, people used to wear blue, gray tunic and two way shirts. What flares and miniskirts are very fashionable, and suits are also in fashion. Some "leftists" are extremely dissatisfied with this. They launched a campaign to eliminate the mental pollution, cut bell bottoms, and wear short skirts and shawls, but the suits were irreversible. At that time, our unit also ordered a set of products for each employee. Suit 。

　　
At the same time, it also aroused my interest in suits and planned to spend money on it again. As luck would have it, I went to the China Association for science and technology. They opened a service department in the science hall of Friendship Hotel, selling daily necessities. Acquaintance take us to have a look. I found a blue and gray woollen eye that attracted the attention of the eyeball, and inquired that the price was not too high. Suit Material. Then who will do it? At this time, an international colleague told me that a tailor made suit in Sanlitun is very good. So I looked for it. It's a private shop. In an old building, the floor is still wooden. The shopkeeper is a lanky old man, about one meter tall, wearing a pair of presbyopic glasses and a Ningbo dialect. He knew from the conversation that he was from " Hongdu clothing store "Retired. I was asked to help the tailor. In a word, let him do it. His workmanship is exquisite, and he feels satisfied only once wearing sample clothes.

　　
Unfortunately, I visited Japan in 1985 with a delegation of science and technology personnel. Suit It hasn't been made yet. I had to wear a social suit, and I was not inferior.

　　
Of course, their suits are not white. I only wear it on a serious occasion. After two years, my uncle in Taiwan traveled to Shanghai, Xi'an and other places, and came to Beijing to see my sister and brother-in-law. I haven't seen each other for more than thirty years. I dressed in my own new suit, invited him to dinner at home, and accompanied him to Tiananmen and other places. He said to me, "this suit suits you well, keeps it neat and beautiful. What did you do (for Nong)? My answer is for the tailor. He said happily, "good! Good! Working for tailors is authentic! "

　　
It's been more than 20 years. I remember going to Donghua's main street. P & M clothing store "And" Raymond "," Wave weft And so on. The shop is very stylish, white marble and tile decoration, carved pillars, spacious and bright, but the price of western style clothes is not bad, I can not ask for it. Naturally, this price is quite common in some famous clothing stores nowadays. Fortunately, my own suit is still preserved. Last year I tried it on. My trousers looked thin and damaged, and I could not wear them. I keep it like an antique.

　　
"Although the dress is worn on my body, my heart is still Chinese heart......" Cheung Ming Men's singing of "my Chinese heart", the glistening gospel is always echoing in my ears.
