Fuyang In The Eighties

When I graduated from middle school, I was admitted to a specialized technical secondary school in Fuyang City.

The school was in a suburban area - the northern part of the city, about two or three kilometers from the downtown area.

The center of the downtown area was the intersection where Fuyang Hotel stood. The hotel was on the southwest side of the intersection. Similarly, Fuyang International Photo Studio was on the northwest side, and Fuyang Department Store was on the southeast side.

To the east of the intersection was People's East Road, which extended to San Liwan; to the west was People's West Road, which extended to Ancient Tower; to the south was Yingzhou Middle Road, which extended to Fuyang Bus Station; to the north was Quanhe River. These areas were urban areas.

Fuyang Railway Station was in the eastern rural area of the city, about eight kilometers away.

Back then, the urban built - up area was only about fifteen square kilometers, and the urban population was around 150,000.
