wing对我说的第一句话就是：“如果不是要离开北京，我也不会找你们拍照了。”她固执地认为，自己居住的小区很漂亮，就算要离开北京，也要找个机会留念一下。
wing也叫习习，在一个小众，以女性为主的论坛里发现我们的公告。她算是半个土著的北京人,父母知青返城之后，落户在郊区。而在前三年，家里一起努力，帮她在东城区那里买了房子，尽管是二手的，只有40多平米，wing还是如此热爱这个小区。
她说，如果不出意外，几个月之后，工作调动会去上海。她做行政工作，说，工作还是有些意思，就是有些忙，特别是最近总加班。wing在说这些话的时候，一直保持固有的表情，没有太多惊喜，也没有太多失望，非常平静地叙说，好像是一些距离自己非常悠远的事情，也好像是那些事必定要发生，不可拒绝。她说，等在外地工作三年之后，她还要回北京吧。
wing认为，如果离开北京，房子要么出租，要么卖掉。基于买卖二手房不满5年，税收可能要高点，所以她说：“出租的可能性比较大”。她说：“这个小区非常安静，绿化也好。老小区了，树都那么粗。”她带着我们走了一圈小区，告诉我们，这条路的特色是什么，有涂鸦，有几个学校，包括幼儿园。上班的时候她如何穿过小区，巧妙地寻找公交车上班。她还带着我们看小区里宁静的道路，那里有熙熙攘攘的车流，一些坐在阴影里纳凉的老人们好奇地看着我们。
wing无比热爱她的小区。她带我们四处转悠时，走走停停，不时给我们说一些小故事。比如，有一个非常老的商场，还是售货员站柜台的形式；比如她和男朋友双双在家没有工作的时候，过着日夜颠倒的日子，总被学校里的喇叭声吵醒。她指着一栋高楼和旁边矮一截的楼说：“这两个楼之间有一条线，我一直不明白有什么用？”
在她的同意之后，我们去了她家拍照。她的男朋友正在汗流浃背地工作：写稿中，他是媒体工作者。她站在阳台上说，经常站在这里张望，看下面绿成一片的小区。wing坐在地板上，赤脚，有所思，又无所想。后来她拉来男朋友一起合影，很显然，她的男朋友有些紧张。
wing喜欢站在黄黑的车档上活动。微风轻拂，她眺望远方。她在这里生活了三年，发生了许多只有她知道的故事。

The first word Wing talked to me was“I won’t ask for your photograph if I were not going to leave Beijing”. She thought stubbornly that the community she lived was beautiful. Since she was going to leave Beijing, she wanted to take photographs as a souvenir.
Wing has another name, Xixi. She found our announcement in a minor and feminine forum. She is a sort of half native Beijing. When her parents came back to Beijing as educated youth, they settled down in suburb. Three years ago, the whole family tried to buy a house for her in east of the city. Although this house is second-handed and only 40cbm, Wing loved it.
She said if in accordance with expectation, she would be an administration staff in Shanghai after several months because of job transfer. She thought work was kind of interesting but a little bit busy; especially she often worked overtime recently. When saying this, Wind showed the same expression, neither too much cheerful, nor too much disappointed. She talked in calmly, as if the things she talked about were far away from her, or as if the things were bound to happen and couldn’t be rejected. She said she would come back to Beijing after working three years in Shanghai.
Wind thought when leaving Beijing, the house should be sold or rented. However, the tax might be higher when selling a second-handed house which was brought within 5 years. So she thought the house would be probably for rent. She said this community was quiet and with good green coverage; it was an old community with many large trees. She showed us the community and told us what’s special of each road, like doodle on the wall, several schools including kindergarten, how she got through the community when going to work and how to find bus. When she was showing us this, cars passed by and elders who sat in the shadow of trees looked us curiously.
Wind loved this community. When she showed us around, she kept telling us some stories. There was an old mall in which salesperson stand in the counter. When her boyfriend and she were both unemployed, they struggled at night and slept in day, but they were always awakened by school trumpets. She pointed the middle of a high building and a low one said,“There is a line between these two buildings. I don’t known what’s it for?”
After she agreed, we took photos in her house. Her boyfriend was writing articles soaked with sweat. He is a media worker. She stood in the balcony and said she always stood here watching the green community. Wing sat on the floor with barefoot, wondering something or nothing. Later she took her boyfriend to photograph together. Apparently, he was a little bit nervous.
Wing likes standing on the black and yellow bars in parking position. A gentle breeze was flowing. She looked far away. She lived here for three months. She had so many stories which were known by her.
