【Years】Spring and Autumn

■ Jia Xiongwei

January

28 years ago, during the Spring Festival, my father rode me on a bicycle to buy books in the city. At that time, Xinhua Bookstore was located in the most prosperous commercial section, the first floor was rented, the second floor was open for sale, and the business area was much larger than it is now. Facing the sun, the books are placed in a dense and orderly manner, and it is very open to walk inside.

Reading in a bookstore is the most comfortable. When you have the freedom to read tens of thousands of books at once, it is an unexpected joy. Greedily put down the book, picked up this one again, rubbed down the cover of the painted sculpture, scanned back the preface inscription, and felt that every book was fragrant. Flipping through dozens of books in the morning, it is like making dozens of friends, pushing the heart, nagging, seeing each other and hating late, it is difficult to leave.

I chose a copy of "Lu Xun's Essays", and my father chose a copy of "Theory of Oriental Beliefs", a small folio, soft hardcover. The clerk stamped it, and her father pulled out 10 yuan and gave it to her.

Buying a book is a unique experience, a companion, a solo traveler, careful, thick and thin, full of ritual and respect for knowledge, thought, and others.

County

Bookstores in small counties are not very large, and the choice of books is universal and representative, and even specializes in Mongolian exercise books and exercise books. When reading, I went to Lingyuan Xinhua Bookstore with my companion. The storefront is on the second floor, and at dusk in winter, the sun is shrinking, losing its color and radiance like a bald copper mirror. High school students who had just left class wore glasses to enter and exit, and selected the object at a glance. Teacher training students have little academic pressure, chose "Dream of the Red Chamber", Yuelu Book Club, Fat Yan Zhai commentary, still permeated with a strong smell of ink and grass and wood, the paper is not thin, but the font size is much smaller, in order to save costs and save money. It is said that "Dream of the Red Chamber" is an encyclopedia, so many poems, so many recipes and medicinal quotations in the book, so many deep feelings, sophistication... Countless experts, scholars, and literati have analyzed it, unsolvable knots, and unguessable mysteries. I remembered "Okay Song."

At the Goethe Bookstore in Shenyang, the recitation period is from 8 to 9 p.m. every night. After reading a poem by Haizi, I took from the clerk a collection of short stories by the French writer Tudor, "Mill Wenzha", a penguin classic, bound plainly, with elegant bookmarks, and synthesized into a perfect work of art that carries the memories of that summer. In the Gogol Bookstore in Harbin, before it closes at 9 p.m., there are still backpackers who linger among statues, shelves, books and book lovers, spying on the cultural code of a city... People who love books are the most beautiful people. A coachman went to the small bookstore to read books after collecting the car, bought two copies and gave them to his son who was in elementary school. A young man lying on a hospital bed in a square cabin reading "The Origins of Political Order" was surprisingly calm.

In junior high school, learning is intense. The happiest thing is to read a few pages of "idle books" between self-study classes. Zi Rong borrowed "Study Guide for Junior High School Students", "Young Boys and Girls" from Liang, "Liaoning Youth" from Zhou, and "People's Literature" from Wang Xuechang... Those books or magazines are not new, but they are full of the fragrance of new knowledge, and even the creases are so beautiful. I read it with relish and it is still unforgettable. Thank you to the kind alumni for letting me read and let me try to change my destiny. Books are wooden and light heart lamps.

At Kangjiatun Elementary School, children scramble to "snatch" new books from volunteers and return to their seats to read eagerly. Outside, at minus 10 degrees, there is a fire in the house, and the spacious classroom is filled with more than 20 students in two grades. The children rummaged through the textbooks and became proficient in every word in the book. The children are eager for new knowledge, for the new book is like a treasure, the smile on their faces, like a shy sorghum flower, reflects the eyes of the sun, warms our faces... Why go to Tibet to look for someone named Ding Zhen? There is innocence everywhere around us, and we are always touched. We work, we give, for a sweet cause, in order to capture fleeting happiness.

publication

When I was in elementary school, I answered the call and subscribed to the magazine "New Teenager" for several years. 12 issues a year, each period of 6 cents 5, half a year to order. That is to say, for 3 yuan and 9 cents, you can read beautiful children's literature works, appreciate the hand-drawn illustrations of the exquisite portraits, and receive information on the learning and life of children in urban and rural areas of our province. Every day under the warm morning light, through the new green exhibition of each plant in the hospital, I read "New Youth", and the book is overflowing. Love every page like your eyes, for fear of spilling soup, juice and stains, for fear of rolling into folds and wrinkles... Nail every 6 issues of "New Boy" into a stack, easy to store, thick, more than 300 pages, and feel good to the touch, as if you are the owner of a huge fortune. I still remember the magical "Eye of the Sea", the spectacular Three Gorges, the adventures of Hua Ziliang, Ning Ning and Tintin... One landscape after another, page after page of sails, put together into a snowless and flawless story of youth.

midwinter

Winter is suitable for reading ancient books. For example, the Chronicle of History. The Spring and Autumn Warring States and the Two Han Dynasties were full of heroes, each born of sorrow, and many of them were as heavy as mountains. The opening chapter of "Baoren Anshu" is definitely the first male text in the eons, and the proud bones of the literati are vividly displayed by Tai Shi Gong.

After the students finished school, the fire was still booming, and after approving a few essays, they moved their chairs and snuggled up to the stove and read the "History". Dialogue with the ancients, the heart is also fiery, with the hero, as if no matter how much difficulty can be overcome, not lonely at all.

Three or nine days is also suitable for reading "Water Margin". How blood-boiling was the section of "Lin Jiaotou Fengxue Mountain Temple". The film and television drama of the same name was also filmed realistically. The snowflakes of Yanshan Mountain are as big as a mat, and the cold wind invades the clothes. On the road to Cangzhou, Lin Chong kicked over the brazier after bearing the humiliation, split the shackles, angrily killed Lu Yuhou, and burned the hay field... What a kind of happiness, what kind of qi runs through the rainbow.
