author:Peace Jade Fruit

Most of the people born in the sixties have an indissoluble relationship with villain books, at least I am. In those days, cultural and entertainment conditions were limited, and villain books became one of the ways for people to relieve boredom and pastime, spending a penny or two to sit at a roadside stall and hold a villain book to read for an afternoon.

In my childhood, I was obsessed with villain books, and often begged others to lend them to me, and after reading them, I quickly returned them, for fear that I would not be able to borrow them next time. Later, I also saved up a penny or two cents to buy it, and when I got together a penny or two, I could buy a copy, and I didn't feel that I had thirty or forty copies, and I was reluctant to throw them away, and put them on the shelf, after all, a book has the difficulty of saving money to buy books in my childhood, and it also contains the eagerness and warmth when buying books, they are not only the window of my childhood to look at the world, but also the testimony of the pursuit of happiness in the unforgettable years.

One day, for no reason, I just wanted to open the cardboard box of the villain book that had been dusty for decades, and one of the movie versions of the villain book "Huo Yuanjia" made me feel inspired, like a pebble thrown into a quiet pond, splashing a ring of ripples of memory.

In the mid-to-late seventies of the last century, it was still in a relatively closed state of information, and children mostly read villain books to understand all kinds of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign worlds.

The old story of the villain book and the black and white TV

In 1982, I graduated and was assigned to teach at a school far from home, which had a 17-inch black-and-white television for teaching, which was clumsy, heavy, and wooden-encased, and at that time, very few people could afford such a large screen TV at home. One day, there was a problem with the TV picture system, and the image was shaky and unusable, and the school leaders decided to let me go into the city to repair it. After the repair, the school car could not be pulled back due to a breakdown, so I had no choice but to move back to my house first.

At that time, just in time for the 1983 Hong Kong TV series "Huo Yuanjia" to be broadcast, the 17-inch TV placed at home had a place to use, which provoked the neighbors' adults and children to be addicted to watching large-screen TV; it may be the first time that martial arts films have entered people's field of vision, or the unique feelings for Chinese martial arts, chasing dramas has become a mandatory item every night, and watching two episodes a day is always unsatisfying, and the broadcast of "Huo Yuanjia" drama has not only become a topic of conversation in the society at that time, but also inspired people to martial arts, The enthusiasm for learning Cantonese and patriotism, and even more incredible is that it has also triggered a ratings frenzy of thousands of empty alleys. Whenever the rousing opening song of "The Great Wall Never Falls" sounds, the TV is already full, and there are even countless people standing on the bench to watch.

Decades have passed, and TV is not a rare thing, there is more than one version of Huo Yuanjia's drama, and the villain book has declined since then, and the "Huo Yuanjia" villain book in front of me has opened my dusty memory again, the 17-inch black-and-white TV, and the joyful scenes of adults and children gathering together to watch the "Huo Yuanjia" TV series are showing in front of me one after another.
