author:Grassroots sword training

Preface:

Time is passing, and life is moving forward. Life does not sell return tickets, and what is lost will never come back. But the innocence of childhood, the happy life of poverty, freedom and unrestrained, although many years have passed, she still floats in my mind all the time, which is endlessly evocative!

Childhood is one of life's most precious treasures, whether rich or poor. In the long river of time day after day, it will become the most alluring magnetic field in life, making everyone linger!

Although the stories of childhood play are like water, plain, scattered, and even worthless, but its ignorance, innocence, unrestrained, and happiness, those childhood play stories that are deeply imprinted in my mind can make me often reminisce and think, which makes people feel thousands of emotions and thoughts.

Childhood is like what Mr. Mo Yan, a famous mainland writer and Nobel Prize winner for literature, said in his article "Literature is a career of bragging, not a career of patting horses":

“....... From a psychological point of view, childhood is dreamy, fearful, and longing for caresses, and from an epistemological point of view, childhood is naïve, naïve, and one-sided. All the feelings of this period are the most superficial and the most profound, all the experiences of this period are more artistic and lack practical colors, the memories of this period are engraved on the bones, and the memories of adulthood are left on the skin...... If we admit the writer's dependence on childhood experience, we also recognize the writer's dependence on my hometown. Such a childhood inevitably established a relationship with the hometown of flesh and blood, the mountains and rivers, animals and plants of the hometown have been soaked in the feelings of childhood, all with a strong emotional color, many later friends have forgotten, but everything in the hometown can not be forgotten. ”

"I remember that the boy rode a bamboo horse, and in a blink of an eye, he was a pulsatilla, and when he was a teenager with money, he lost time and was nowhere to be found."

"I remember that the boy rode a bamboo horse, and in a blink of an eye, he was a pulsatilla

This passage in the ancient precept of the Ming Dynasty "Zengguang Xianwen" profoundly depicts the ruthless and hurried passage of time, and the young children become white-haired old men in a blink of an eye, and at the same time, it also describes the precious and difficult time of childhood.

As long as we cherish it, understand the connotation of the years, understand the true meaning of the years, and be the master of the years, we will be able to leave some good memories and some stories worth recalling.

Childhood, childhood stories, childhood memories, childhood that everyone has, childhood plots that most people have, that string of childhood stories, like a tenacious and long silk thread, no matter where you go, it can always accompany you all the way, unforgettable. Whenever I think about my childhood, I always have an indescribable passion and reverie in my heart.

Childhood is a hazy morning, like a willow branch that has just begun to sprout with dewdrops, it is soft, fresh, full of juice, it thrives, and it is full of reverie and dreams.

It was really an unforgettable, unforgettable childhood.

The childhood years are really nostalgic, it is a bit haunting, and there are some reveries. Childhood is a topic that everyone can't avoid. But let me say that although everyone's childhood is different, everyone's childhood is full of mixed flavors, a little sour, a little sweet, a little bitter, a little spicy, and a little salty.

Those plain childhood stories fully reflect the famous patriotic poet Xin Qiji of the Southern Song Dynasty in his popular and shallow poem "The Middle Wall of the Shubo Mountain Road": "The young man does not know the taste of sorrow and falls in love with the floor." Fall in love with the floor. "The true portrayal of what sorrow is in the poem.

Life, in the long river of history, is just a short moment, but for a person, the road of life is so long. Although the years are long, the years are long, but what a person has experienced in childhood and the road he has traveled is only a certain stage of a certain era. If a person is unwilling to be a hurried passer-by on the historical stage of this life, he should strive to leave the footprints of this era in the long river of history.

Throughout my childhood, it was poor and hard, but it was also unrestrained, free and happy.

My childhood belonged to the countryside of my hometown, the small rivers, small wetlands, small forests and the old streets of the ancient town, the dim and narrow old old houses facing the street, and the big stage of the ancient town, the quaint and lively farm courtyard, the dilapidated farm yard, and the primary school in the ancestral hall of the Wang family......

In the same way, my childhood also exists in the daily play games with my friends in open crotch pants when I was a child, in the earnest teaching of the teachers at that time, in the obscurity of my old father's teaching by example rather than words, in the deep maternal love of my biological mother, and even more in my stepmother's words and deeds, chattering and nagging......

At the same time, my childhood also existed in those childhood days of climbing walls, climbing jujube trees, catching sparrows, poking hornet's nests, catching snakes, catching scorpions, chasing chickens and dogs, practicing qigong, learning martial arts, playing wars, swimming in summer and winter skating, pinching wild vegetables, making money, picking up fun, and all kinds of children's games......

But the above miscellaneous stories are all some of the chaotic little things that Chen Sesame Rotten Grain experienced as a child, what is the point of writing these things now?

Today's children eat bread when they are hungry, drink Coke when they are thirsty, and have clothes that are single in summer and cotton in winter, and they can't wear them all year round. There are many new types of toys. Tired of playing, watching TV, playing with the computer, playing with the phone. Kindergarten, school pick-up and drop-off, how many children's parks, children's activity centers for them to learn Xi play.

At a young age, "children don't go out, they know the world", and they are also the treasures of their parents and the little flowers of the motherland. It's a joy to see the cute looks of the children!

However, there are many of them whose children do not know what the old society is, how their parents lived when they were children, and what kind of ups and downs their parents have experienced.

Let's take our contemporaries as an example! Under the present privileged life, if we do not seriously recall, we may gradually become indifferent to the scene of the old society and the poor living conditions when we were children, and sometimes they are as faint as a cloud.

In fact, we look back at our childhood to know where we came from. To memorize them is to understand how we have walked through them.

The purpose of telling them is to let future children know how our time was in a poor and difficult environment, happy and happy, and unrestrained play.

The purpose of telling them is to let future children know how to live happily in a poor and difficult environment

They are recorded so that the children's games that have been passed down from generation to generation for thousands of years will not be forgotten and extinct by our generation. And whether they are enlightening and worthy of reference and promotion in children's games in the future.

The hardships I endured in my childhood, the sins I suffered, and the miscellaneous childhood stories, although some of the trivial things like sesame mung beans that we experienced at that time, have benefited me a lot in my life and have been used for a lifetime.

The dreams of my childhood, the memories of my parents and my hometown have sometimes become the driving force in my life. Sometimes it inspires me! Sometimes it inspires me!

So that in the years of my life, I don't like to be arrogant, Xi coarse tea and light meals, hope to live a dull life, get along with others open-mindedly, generously, and gratefully, is it not related to these experiences in my childhood?

However, people are sometimes really strange, when you talk about the things in front of you, sometimes you still lose them, and sometimes you can't remember the things of a moment or three, but the stories of childhood, the memories of childhood, and the past events of sixty years ago are still fresh and unforgettable.

According to the general law, people's clear memory is usually formed after the age of seven, and even if the memory declines after old age, it is often "forgetting the near and remembering the far", which shows that childhood is an important process that cannot be worn away by the years! And the impression and cognition of childhood will accompany people throughout their lives.

My childhood stories are basically some of my experiences since I was seven years old.

The Soviet writer Bausdevsky once said in "The Golden Rose": "A poetic understanding of life, of everything around us, is the greatest gift that childhood gives us." ”

This gift, in short, is the memory of childhood.

And with the passage of time, in recent years, I have come to understand more and more that that time period is the most nostalgic era in my life, and it is also the time period with more profound memories: that is, childhood, childhood stories.

Close my eyes and meditate, the childish, cheerful, and innocent smiling faces of my childhood friends, and the strings of unrestrained, funny, and lively children's game scenes will float in my mind from time to time.

And the most important point is that my childhood hometown and the unforgettable and beautiful memories left to me by my childhood have become my current abundant source of creativity, so the biggest feeling is that the burning feelings for my hometown, my childhood, and my parents' thoughts are like the waves of the sea, surging and surging on paper.

In fact, in my childhood in the fifties and sixties, although I was poor and materially scarce, I really couldn't eat enough and couldn't wear warm clothes. Even after eating the last meal, the children at that time were really unrestrained, incomparably free and happy, full of innocence, romance, rich imagination, creativity.

At that time, the three-year natural disaster on the mainland, that is, the Great Famine, had just passed, and the people were not yet financially rich, so there was no money for children to buy any toys. At that time, the children's toys and toys were made according to some local conditions at that time, and they were all based on their own imagination and made by themselves. Most of them don't cost money, and moreover, they are all kinds of flowers, and you can play anytime and anywhere.

At that time, the children fully embodied the sentence of the patriotic poet "Xin Qiji" in the Southern Song Dynasty: "Young people don't know the taste of sorrow, and they fall in love with the floor." Fall in love with the floor. Artistic conception.
