90秒的表白，100分的热爱！“10后”这一代人是人工智能时代的首批“原住民”，他们在国际上被称为开放和自信的“阿尔法一代”“α世代”（Generation Alpha）。上海外语频道ICS诚邀“α世代”的中外青少年们用90秒英语短视频，一起说出“爱上海的理由”，展现与新时代同向同行、共同前进的新生代新气象。弄堂，是上海人的独家记忆。在这一集中，我们将与阮欣妍同学一道回转时光，再现充满烟火气的上海弄堂。

阮欣妍自述：

上海是我的家乡，也是我父母的。我妈妈儿时住在弄堂里。听着她的回忆，我仿佛也回到那个令人怀旧的年代。

我小时候经常去淮海中路上的一条弄堂，虽小但充实，虽静但有烟火气。地板因人的走动“吱呀”作响，整个房间里有着浓郁的木香和专属于老物件的香气。

邻居间相互串门、分享，晚上边在树下乘凉边读《新民晚报》，聊聊天。平日里泡饭作早餐，新年时摆上清炒虾仁这样的美食。

他们攒钱买磁带听、租录像带看，每一时段的电视频道尽管能选择的数量少，却多元。

用几个词大致评价一下那时候：温馨、宁静、不浮躁。波德莱尔说：“一座城市的形体，有着比人心还要快的变化。”我觉得城市就像遥不可及的恋人。生于斯，长于此。她一直在这儿。我爱你，上海。其实我们并非想回到那个年代，而是坚守着心中的怀旧。

My Favorite Shanghai EP19｜Ruan Xinyan: Longtang in the 1980s-1990s #shortvideoshowcase #vlog

Presented by Ruan Xinyan

Shanghai is my home and my parents’. My mom lived in the alley in her childhood. Listening to her memories, I imagined going back to that nostalgic period.

When I was little, I often went to the lane on Huaihai Road （M), small but throng, quiet but full of hustle and bustle. The floor creaks when we walk on it. The whole room is filled with a strong woody aroma and the smell of old objects.

Neighbors used to go round, share, and cool off under the trees, reading Xinmin Evening News as well as chatting. Ordinary people had soup rice for breakfast every day while they hardly enjoyed the delicious food like stir-fried shrimps except in New Years’ time.

They collected money to buy cassettes and rent video tapes. Although TV channels were few, there were different varieties like movies and TV plays.

To comment that time, I may use words such as warm, peaceful, and not blundering. Baudelaire said, “The shape of a city changes faster than the human heart.” I think the city is like an unreachable lover. I was born here and raised here. It has always been here. I adore you, Shanghai.

Actually, we aren’t wishing to go back to the past, but just keeping reminiscence.
