Shatoujiao Qiaodong Community

One of the few places in Shenzhen where clothes are repaired in such small courtyards. Yantian Street is located in Qiaodong District, Shatoujiao, less than 500 meters from Zhongying Street. Clothing repair booth, watch repair booth, shoe repair booth. There are almost 30 stalls in the 200-meter lane, each of which is a brand with a decade of history. The craftsmen have been working here for over 30 years. The era of “sewing and mending” seems to be long gone. They are still waiting for the last “human touch”.

 In 2006, the appearance of the city was renovated, but the Shatoujiao Qiaodong Community did not eliminate these vendors across the board. Instead, the neighborhood committee took the lead and gradually gathered dozens of clothing repair stalls, watch repair stalls, and shoe repair stalls on the roadside. The current financial road has formed a “seam street” with profound cultural heritage. Since the stall owners have some origins, regardless of the small stalls, professional work such as ironing and ironing of clothes can be undertaken.

盐田有个“缝补一条街”  

天,“缝缝补补”时代似乎早已离我们远去,可在盐田金融街背后,却“藏”着一条“缝补一条街”。街坊们的帮衬不仅让手艺人可以养家糊口,更令人感动的是其中弥漫着的浓浓“人情味”。    近日,记者到这里探访。这是一条200米长的普通小巷,离中英街关口不到500米。一眼望去,30多家密密麻麻的档口一字排开,他们有的以钉纽扣为主,有的以缝补衣服为主,有的以补鞋为主,也有配钥匙的等,都是市民日常生活需要的。    集中经营造就很多“老字号”    说起盐田,大家都知道有金融街、中英街、海鲜一条街,知道“缝补一条街”的人并不多。盐田区民政局局长徐刚说,在今年全国民政公益服务热线12349落地盐田时,为测试服务百姓方方面面到位与否,他扮成普通民众打电话给话务员出了个“难题”——我想缝缝补补哪里找?    这可真难住了12349工作人员,他们只得记录下来,业余时间去寻找。很快,“缝补一条街”被他们找到了。社工小刘告诉记者,当时他很惊讶,一个现代化的城市居然还会有这么古老的东西。    据了解,“缝补一条街”由两排档口组成。一边是修鞋的,一边是补衣服的。换拉链、缝补或改衣服等,收费一般三五块钱。街市上基本都是黄记、李记、福记、华记等“老字号”招牌。摊主告诉记者,早些年大家都是在沙头角一带路边摆摊“打游击”的。    

2006年整治市容市貌,沙头角桥东社区却没有“一刀切”地赶走这些摊贩,而是由居委会牵头,将原先路边几十家补衣摊、修表摊、修鞋摊逐渐集中到现在的金融路一巷,形成目前文化底蕴深厚的“缝补一条街”。由于摊主们都有些来历,所以别看档口小,衣服整烫、大烫等专业活计都能承揽。    摊主手艺吸引回头客    在缝补一条街上,每天上午8时,鞋匠、钟表匠、裁缝等手艺人准时开档,晚上10时收工回家。大家各做各的生意,和睦相处,日复一日。    李叔的缝补点还不到1.5平方米,四下摆满各种缝补器材、各款塑胶面板。1990年,李叔从茂名来到深圳,拖家带口且一无所有。来深圳前,李叔曾经在老家办过一家织衣厂,生产过时装、礼服、牛仔裤和棉衣,家里人也都熟练地掌握了缝纫技术,于是他做起“缝补走鬼”维持生计。    在他看来,客人拿衣服来改,多数是喜欢这件衣服,所以他尽量把衣服改得符合客人的要求。实惠的价格加上精细的做工,辖区很多居民都喜欢拿衣服到他那改,回头客慢慢多了。他喜欢这工作,更喜欢街坊们对他手艺的肯定。    

桥东社区的冯大妈是街市的常客,一家人的衣服鞋子稍微有点问题都拿到这里修改。“价格很实惠,档口价格都是透明的,如果不满意这家就到另一家。”冯大妈说,“服务真的很好,听说有的师傅因客人少呆不下去准备走了,我们都很难过。我们希望街市能一直办下去。”    港客外籍客慕名而来    “缝补一条街”距中英街不过10来分钟路程,除沙头角居民外,也常有很多香港人慕名来此缝补衣服鞋子。来补衣服的香港人王婆婆说,在香港那边补裤子,要走很远的路,来盐田“缝补一条街”只需过个关口,这里的师傅不仅手艺好,服务态度亲切,价格也实惠。    据了解,除方便沙头角的住户和中英街的港人,盐田明思克航母的俄罗斯员工有时也会来这里缝补衣物。    给缝补师傅们建个呼叫平台    前来访问的社工们被浓浓的人情味感动着,他们给这些叔叔阿姨们做点事,就是建立一个呼叫平台,希望更多的客人来帮衬他们,希望他们的手艺能传承下去。    “12349盐田服务区”把每一家档口的联系人、联系方式、服务类型等信息经过整理、筛选和分类,全部录入到信息库,供盐田区居民以及来盐商务旅游者来电咨询。
