The other famous large drugstore, Yiheqian, is located at the very centre of Henan Street. Its advantageous location and extensive business scope attract many customers, and its excellent service and quality drugs have won it the trust of the people of Jilin. In 1987, in keeping with the changing environment of Henan Street, the store was rebuilt at its old address, turning a small bungalowsintosa four-storey building. Now, it is the largest comprehensive drugstore in Jilin province and also among the leading establishments of its kind in Northeast China.
I seldom fall ill, so I rarely visit these well-known drugstores. However, as I enjoyshavingsa good meal, my favourite place in Henan street is the famous Fuyuanguan restaurant - originally an old teashop - that offers hundreds kinds of delicious food. Set up early in the Qing dynasty, it has been prosperous for over 300 years. Its characteristic delicacies offer good taste and high quality, especially the Tijiang moon-cakes, pastries, and green bean cakes.
The most popular cake in Fuyuanguan, however, is the goldfish crisp (a kind of pastry that looks like a goldfish), which brings back memories of my ravenous childhood days. Whenever my pals and I were passing by the Fuyuanguan, we children would be attracted by the aroma of the goldfish crisp and unwilling to leave, our mouths drooling. The cooks in the restaurant were then, and still are, in the habit of reciting the recipe while making the crisps: his is called goldfish crisp, with a wrapper of 60 percent and stuffing of 40 percent. The front is the head, and the back is the tail, which is cutsintossix pieces. Then, we form a mouth, and ream the scales with our scissors. Finally, we make eyes out of black-ball stuffing, and here comes a complete goldfish crisp!?In spite of its ancient buildings, this street nowadays is a stage of fashion. rocodile? apple? eans West?and other famous brands seem to dominate the scene and attract young spenders, who ever more care about fashion.
In 1997, the Jilin government commenced the second phase of the reconstruction of the Henan Street. The street was widened, some buildings that did not conform with construction regulations were knocked down, and the street was altogether made more modern and convenient for shopping, while maintaining its local colour and ancient flavour. The new Henan Street perfectly blends with the city and still holds its position as the best place to shop in Jilin City.
Now, it is starting to rain as I return home from work, and there are fewer people out in the street. It is at moments such as these that Henan Street calms down a little. A cool wind is blowing and I slow down my steps to look at the street I pass every day. I realise that this place has gone through so many changes - with hardly anyone noticing - while still maintaining its unique beauty.
