当许宝健把一只脚留在湖北孟楼、另一只脚跨入河南孟楼的时候,他绝没有想到脚下这条普普通通的街道将成为中国第一条以记者名字命名的街道,而他自己也将因此成为中国记者中享有如此殊荣的第一人。 1992年3月,许宝健到湖北襄樊采访,在和当地几个朋友聊天的时候,听他们提起了湖北和河南交界处有个一镇跨两省的孟楼。这两个小镇属于不同的行政区划,却没有明显的分界线。朋友们还给他讲了许多两镇有趣的故事。湖北是个水源丰富的地方,而河南则较为干旱。每当缺水时,湖北的孟楼人就帮助他们的河南邻居引水灌溉。今年春节,一个小偷从湖北的孟楼偷了东西,顺着大街跑到了河南孟楼,河南的联防队员就帮助捉拿案犯……地理关系十分有趣 When Xu Baojian left one of his feet in Menglou, Hubei and the other into Mengla, Henan, he never imagined that this ordinary street at the foot would become the first street in China named after a reporter. And he himself will therefore become the first person in China to enjoy such a privilege. In March 1992, Xu Baojian interviewed Xiangfan in Hubei Province. When chatting with a few local friends, they listened to them about the Menglou which had a town across the two provinces at the junction of Hubei and Henan. The two towns belong to different administrative divisions, but there is no obvious dividing line. My friends also told him many interesting stories about the two towns. Hubei is a water-rich place, while Henan is more arid. Whenever there is a shortage of water, Menglou people in Hubei help their Henan neighbors to irrigate. This year’s Spring Festival, a thief stole something from Menglou in Hubei and ran down the street to Menglou in Henan Province. The Henan defense team helped arrest the criminals ... Geographical relations are very interesting
