On a spring day last year, at the invitation of a friend, I attended a cheongsam meeting. Entering the venue, a woman in light makeup and wearing an aqua green cheongsam warmly came to greet me and exchanged several greetings, but I did not recognize her as a micro-friend I knew. Seated around, eyes full of cheongsam beauties. Some of them are talking in the money; some are sitting alone in a corner, like being outside the world; some are like butterflies, laughing and talking. They have their own moods, and their faces are full of confidence.
I first fell in love with the cheongsam when I visited my classmates nearly forty years ago and saw a picture of her grandmother when she was young. In the black-and-white photo, the classmate's grandmother was dressed in a bun and wearing a cheongsam, standing demurely next to her classmate's grandfather. I didn't even look at her grandfather, but stared at her grandmother obsessively, as if I wanted to see through the picture, for a long, long time. The color of the cheongsam cannot be seen in the photo, the quiet long model, the gentle sleeves, and the classical and exquisite handmade buckle, which set her off like the person in the painting. What is particularly intriguing is the clear and bright eyes of the classmate's grandmother, as if storing the story, and looking like he wants to talk back. There is also that slender and well-proportioned body, not more than a point, not less than an inch, which vividly reflects the beauty of women's curves.
Compared with the big pants waist worn by my grandmother at that time, the Lenin suit worn by my mother, and the most popular green military uniform I wore, the cheongsam perfectly interpreted the most extreme arrogance and introversion of a woman... The classmate's grandmother came from a large landlord family and later went to Jinan with her husband, who was a worker. Her heritage, her temperament, her taste, her elegance and spirituality are properly set off by a cheongsam.
I have had a deep cheongsam complex since then.
At that time, my greatest pleasure was in the courtyard full of plane trees in my hometown, in the shadow of the mottled trees, looking at myself, imitating the characters in the opera or singing or dancing or acting, when I swayed my waist, my mind fantasized that I was wearing a cheongsam, I wore all kinds of qipao, showing thousands of styles...
Walking out of that courtyard, I still wore the green military uniform that was popular at that time, and with the aesthetic concept of that era, that was the real beauty. Under the influence of that aesthetic, I rarely wear bright, fashionable clothes, when buying clothes, it is always which one seems calm to buy which one, so many years, never publicized.
Later, I became fascinated by Zhang Ailing's writings and knew that she loved the qipao. She has a variety of cheongsams. Or traditional ornate, or light and feminine or gorgeous and elegant; the image of her cheongsam is as deeply imprinted in the memory of every admirer as her words. Reading Zhang Ailing's text, looking at the photos of her wearing a cheongsam, I faintly smelled a smell of age. The dark fragrance of the flowing years and the vivid bitterness wafted in.
More than ten years ago, a man who understood women very well said to me in public: "It is a pity that you are not wearing a cheongsam." His words aroused my desire for the cheongsam again. I had the urge to wear a cheongsam in my fancy years. At that time, I was running the supermarket of more than 3,000 square meters, and every day I was busy inside and out, and I didn't even have time to measure it. I really can't imagine what it would be like to wear a cheongsam and give a morning meeting to employees.
I remembered a few years ago, I took off my overalls and put on a blue velvet dress that my mother bought me, and the president of the union at the time joked: "You have to pay attention to the impact, don't let everyone's eyes stare out," Although it was a joke, I heard it very clearly, I was a head in the size of the unit, and it was better to make a splash.
A few years ago, the TV series "Qipao" was popular, and my heart set off the waves of qipao. In her heart, she fell in love with Guan Pinglu, only because she would wear different styles of cheongsam every time she appeared. The different styles of the cheongsam make Guan Pinglu a master of eight exquisite faces, she is sometimes clear and beautiful, noble temperament, like a big girl; sometimes charming, hooking people's souls, like a social flower. Especially the Nine Phoenix Qipao that makes Pinglu charming, the texture and workmanship, exquisite to the extreme, aesthetic to the extreme.
Ye Qincheng once interpreted the qipao in this way: "Calm and charming, classical implies sexiness, and the woman wearing the qipao is always as beautiful as a flower." ”
For forty years, the qipao dream has been with me, perhaps, I like the classical and elegant things in my bones, perhaps, like most women with literary dreams, I have been looking forward to a romantic encounter?
The cheongsam is the living color of my dreams, which makes me intoxicated and obsessed.
If there is a day when I can wear a cheongsam, that sleeve of dark incense rhymes, I must collect my stories, take my deep and shallow heart, through the wind and frost of the years, leaving a ghost song.
