The origin of "three no-cares" in Tianjin fair

There was once a place in Tianjin that was as famous as the "Tianqiao" in Beijing and the "Confucius Temple" in Nanjing, and that was the "Three Visits" to the south of Heather. In the early years, Tianjin's commercial center was in the area of "Houjiahou" outside the north gate, and was later destroyed by the military disaster in Eight-Nation Alliance. At that time, the Japanese concession was building streets, and some vendors came to set up stalls near the edge of the Japanese concession to sell some food and sporadic department stores. Later, vendors gradually expanded the area, and the Japanese originally wanted to include this place in their Tianjin concession. However, due to the contradiction between the imperialists, their attempt failed. The fatuous Tianjin government dared not exercise sovereignty there, and no one was responsible for burying the bones of the dead, cheating and fighting. This place later became the "three cares". Although the Tianjin Police Department set up a police department here, opened several streets and built shops and houses, the place name of "three cares" has been handed down.

The late Republic of China was the heyday of "three cares". Most of the hotels and brothels that used to be "Houjia" moved there, and several small theaters such as Hualin, Qunying and Quanle were newly opened, which made the "three visits" extremely prosperous. There are many storytellers, crosstalk performers, singers, jugglers, westerners and fortune tellers. Among them, Wang Baoshan, who bought medicine and sugar, the white fool who bought cloth, and Liu, who treated boils, are all famous.
