 最近有朋友提醒我宝山路附近部分街区还有留存，于是让我想起来好久没有到这个地方去看看了，我在2017年写过关于宝山路上宝山里的内容，也就是这一年在这个周边兜兜转转好几次，拍摄了即将动迁的宝山路、宝昌路、宝源路、宝通路这样一个区域。
其实以上四个“宝”字头的区域范围内，都是一片建于1920年的老式石库门建筑群，宝山路一带早期工厂林立，工人和穷苦大众集聚的地方，因此这里也是革命党人发动工人运动最早的基地。早在1925年五卅运动初期，宝山路403弄2号已经开始筹备上海总工会。 同时由于该区域又是处在当时的华界区域，早在1932年的一二八淞沪战役时期日本人就对着这一地区狂轰乱炸，后来日本人的势力日益扩张，该区域实际上已经被日本人控制。
2017年的拍摄和走访也让我了解这一区域实际状态，比较有趣的是当时的宝昌路、宝通路一带在改革开放后曾经相当长一段时间内，沿街都是小型金属加工的小作坊，在普通人的心目中，金属加工，车、钳、铇、铣之类的金属切削都必须在工厂里才能完成，但是你可以在这里看到各种金属加工的机床，于是这就给了一些动手能力强，喜欢自己鼓捣一些适合自己使用的器件朋友提供了一个金属加工的场所，早年的上海人毕竟还没达到可以有自己的车库来做自己的工作坊，当自己的聪明才智和闲不住的双手需要一个释放的天地时，这样的小作坊就足以满足。
这几天再次前往该区域，肯定已经人去楼空，部分街区已经大兴土木，一栋栋高层建筑拔地而起，留下的仅仅是两三块老的石库门里弄，目前尚不清楚是因为这里曾经有过上海总工会旧址和部分名人旧居而予以保留。
该区域原来临近上海老北火车站，从历史上也就是上海最早的铁路线途径之地，繁华和喧嚣的程度可想而知，而随着老北站被弃用，这地方逐渐被人淡忘，从住宅的开发来看，它也是先从中兴路、永兴路一带开始，目前的宝源路附近则因为靠近轻轨反而不具备优势。
如今就是那个虬江路二手货市场也退出了历史舞台，那个臭名昭著倒卖贼偷货的龚家宅路也仅有一人在吆喝，周边人流稀少，若干年后它又会以怎样一种面貌出现在世人面前？ 我原来写过：#老寿带你弄堂游#宝山里。
The Quiet Evolution of Baoshan Road
Area Recently, a friend reminded me that
certain blocks near Baoshan Road still retain their historical charm, prompting
me to revisit a place I had long neglected. In 2017, I penned an article about
Baoshan Lane on Baoshan Road, a year during which I meandered through this
vicinity multiple times, capturing the essence of the impending relocation of
Baoshan Road, Baochang Road, Baoyuan Road, and Baotong Road. Within the confines of these four
"Bao"-prefixed areas lies a cluster of ancient stone gate buildings
dating back to 1920. Baoshan Road was once a hub of factories, attracting
workers and the impoverished masses, making it a focal point for early
revolutionary activities among laborers. As early as the initial stages of the
May Thirtieth Movement in 1925, preparations for the Shanghai General Union had
commenced at No. 2, Lane 403 of Baoshan Road. Simultaneously, situated in the former International Settlement, this area bore witness to the ravages of the Sino-Japanese War during the 1932 January 28th Incident. Japanese forces bombarded this region, gradually extending their control over the area.
The photography and explorations in 2017 truly enlightened me about the actual state of this region. Interestingly, during the period following the Reform and Opening Up policy, the vicinity of Baoshan Road, Baochang Road, and Baotong Road was dotted with small metal processing workshops. In the eyes of the common folk, metalworking involving lathes, pliers, hammers, and milling machines was typically reserved for factories. However, here one could witness an array of metalworking machinery, providing a space for individuals with adept hands and a penchant for crafting personalized devices. In the earlier days, the people of Shanghai had yet to reach a stage where they could have personal workshops in their own garages. When their ingenuity and restless hands sought a realm for expression, these workshops sufficed.
Returning to the area in recent days, it is evident that it has been deserted, with some blocks undergoing extensive construction. Towering high-rises now dominate the landscape, leaving behind only a few old stone gate residences. It remains unclear whether these remnants are preserved due to the historical significance of the former site of the Shanghai General Union and residences of notable figures.
Originally situated near the old North Shanghai Railway Station, historically one of Shanghai's earliest railway lines, the area was bustling and vibrant. However, as the old station fell into disuse, the place gradually faded from memory. In terms of residential development, it initially began around Zhongxing Road and Yongxing Road, while the vicinity of Baoyuan Road currently lacks appeal due to its proximity to the light rail.
Even the renowned Qiujiang Road Second-hand Market has exited the historical stage, and the infamous Gongjiazhai Road, known for its illicit activities, now echoes with the calls of a lone individual. The surrounding area sees sparse foot traffic. What visage will this area present to the world in the years to come? |
