My Dumb Talk (Continued)
Text/Weekly Line
Words written on the front:
That day the author suddenly wanted to write something, it said write me, I asked who are you? It laughed, giggled strangely. stunned! I couldn't see who it was, and I was more and more stunned. It was about to turn its face, and it couldn't hold back, so it introduced itself: My surname is Dumb, staying "Dumb"! It is also the "home" of the home! Merging them together is called "staying at home". Hey, don't say it! If I stop it, I'll have to cover its mouth. So I took it as the theme and wrote a "My Dumb Talk". It's 4,000 words. Pushed by the public account of "Zhenyan Zhenyu", seven media networks such as "Today's Headlines", "Baidu", "Little Information", "NetEase News", "Sohu News", "People's Daily", "Kandian Express" and so on have been published one after another, which has been welcomed by readers. Unfortunately, only the first half was climbed. But I'm confident that there won't be any problems that get in the way of publication. Because the People's Daily used it, I have this confidence. Therefore, the second half of the part is also published, please pay attention to and look forward to it.
(Continued) In the face of the pressure of "staying at home", walking with reading and writing is the best way. Once you sit down and write down, you don't feel like you're running out of time. Every time I write and publish something, my inner fullness is indescribable. Moreover, there is no worry about "no rice under the pot", in the "stay" words "stay", in Baoshan need to know Bao Na, a "stay" word has become a writer to hand the subject matter, a happy "scratching". "Staying" at home is most afraid of not scratching. It was the relish of writing that gave me the "scratch".
My widely disseminated passages or paragraphs were scratched out. Here are a few examples:
In "Testimonials after 18 Days of Staying at Home", I wrote: It is not "nothing to stay and go", but that the country has a big problem, the earth has a big problem, and we must stay at home. A "stay" word has changed a lot of people and many things. For example, there are fewer people outside and more people staying at home. It seems that the social environment is much quieter, but the family's difficult "scripture" has become more and more difficult to read, and the family's worries have become more and more intense: some are worried about business, some are worried about unemployment; some are worried about going to school, some are worried about graduation; some are worried about the present, some are worried about the future; some are worried about returning to China, some are worried about going abroad; some are worried about one child, some are worried about the second child; some are worried about triviality, some are worried about astronomical geography... Sorrowful, how much sorrow can you have? When to stay is the head! Many people are anxious: how long will they stay!
In the text, the author frankly replied: We need to "stay" and look at it while "staying"; "staying" in the middle of the view, looking at it in the "stay"; looking at the stupid look, looking at the stupid; forbearing in the "stay", "staying in the forbearance"; being stupid and forbearing; seeing what this "staying" word can be refined into!
In short, the effect of "staying" has begun to appear, if you do not "stay" like this, the consequences are even more unimaginable!
Although "staying" impatiently, "staying" discouraged and lazy, "staying" without falling, "staying" without understanding, and "staying" with a cloud of sorrow, however, at least for now, it seems that a "stay" word is still irreplaceable. For those of us who "stay" at home, there is still no choice. It can be said that the word "stay" is precious, the price of life is higher, there is no need to be wordy, how good is it not to stay?
In the article "Thinking of "Staying" in the Spring Snow", the author distilled out "one-word life": when people are "staying" alone, they will inevitably think wildly, sometimes to the extent that the sword is biased. For example, today, when I think about my generation, it seems to be a one-word life: when there are natural disasters in three years, one word, "hunger"; during the Cultural Revolution, one word, "chaos"; when reform and opening up, it is still a word, "money"; at the moment, it is another word, "stay"; and then there is another word, "annoying", staying at home for a long time, there is nothing that is not annoying. Ah, life is always a word, when you come, "born"; when you go, "die". But so be it! How simple man is, isn't it just a word - live! however......
In "The Nest on Earth", I recorded my own illusion: the human world is like a honeycomb, densely packed all over the place where the epidemic is located, whether it is a building or a bungalow; whether it is a villa or an adobe wall house, it is like a "nest" for people who are "staying". Fabre's tireless description of the similarities between insect nests and human snail dwellings in his famous Insect Chronicles exacerbated my hallucinations.
All or all the insects that stay in their "nests" are so strikingly similar to the bottom line of "living". More than once, I looked at the corner where I was "staying", before the epidemic, it was called "Changhang Studio". In the days of fighting the epidemic, I never thought that I was "working". My mind is full of "hiding", "stupid", "writing and writing"! The same space, now it is clearly a nest for me to spend the rest of my life.
Incredibly, the scene recorded in "Buns" on February 28, 2020: My son's cat is called Buns. Very well-behaved, the ability to imitate is very high, too high to be incomprehensible; the courage is extremely small, so small that it trembles when it sees rats. It's a joke, yes, in ordinary days, the bun is the joke of the son's family. However, in the days when the son's whole family "stayed", the bun was full and obediently lay on the windowsill. It seems to understand why the host family is "staying". It seems to secretly swear to "stay" with its master to the end. What hangs my heart is the gesture of its jaw on the corner (sharp angle) of the window sill. A kitten less than two years old is the naughty age, it is the age of not knowing the taste of sorrow, where can not climb, can not catch, can not play can not see ah? I want to see the movement outside the window, there are places! How could you choose such a sharp edge to place your head on? His eyes widened and he stared out the window for a long time, but he didn't move for a whole morning. Its "staying" kung fu is both thrilling and funny, and everyone is shocked by the "prank" of the bun. My son also took a picture of it, and my granddaughter drew a sketch and sent it to the circle, and the circle friends were amazed and talked about it.
In fact, photos and sketches are extremely difficult to express the nostalgia of the bun. I was so shocked by the sadness (a kind of extremely sensitive sadness) in its eyes, but the whole family was saddened by the tearful look in this little thing's eyes. Can't bear to let it always be so dull, sometimes hold it away, let it play casually, or stretch out or roll, but no, no! It would still return to its original position, still motionless, stubbornly, staring blankly at the sky outside the window, for a long, long time. It wasn't until it was unsealed that it returned to its cheerful appearance. Once there is another seal, it is still the sad look...
The mountains and rivers are full of doubts, and the willows are dark and the flowers are bright and another village. What kind of "stay" will appear in my pen? So let's wait and see, or "stay" ...
