I have a special preference for the texts in the language books, I like the Chinese class when I was in primary school, especially the composition class, after my daughter goes to school, every semester a new book is distributed, I will read every text in the language book carefully, now my little granddaughter is in the second grade of primary school! I still like to read her language books, I found that in the language books of my little granddaughter, there are actually many texts that I learned when I was a child. For example, the draught does not forget to dig wells, Zhu De's flat dan, pony crossing the river, cold trumpet birds, etc., these excellent works have educated several generations, let people remember those revolutionary martyrs who fought for national independence and national liberation and shed blood and sacrificed, do not forget the traditional Chinese virtues, and inherit the excellent Chinese culture. One day, my little granddaughter read the cold bird to me, and listening to her read it in a young and beautiful voice, I couldn't help but recite along with my little granddaughter, "Doro, Doro, the cold wind will kill me, and I will make a nest tomorrow." The little granddaughter asked me strangely: Grandma, how do you know? I told her that my grandma had also learned this text when she was a child! I remembered my elementary school life.
In the autumn of 1962, I started elementary school in my hometown in Northeast China, and a few months later, my mother took four of us to the Mianyang Railway Military School in Sichuan to reunite with my father, who was a soldier, and my father's army was stationed in a place called Yangjiawan in Mianyang, which was a very beautiful place.
During the day, my parents went to work! We walked down a stone-paved path from the family building on the mountain to go to the military children's school.
I like to go to school to read, before I went to school, there was no book, primary school textbooks made me have a book for the first time, I remember the first lesson of Chinese class is to learn how much the size is, up and down, go to school and read so that I know words, learn to read, in the book I know a bigger and better world, reading has made me have many ideals, I have so many visions for the future, I once wanted to be a seafarer, take a big ship, go to distant places to explore the magic of this world, I also want to be a writer, because at that time I think writers are amazingOrdinary words are skillfully combined by writers and turned into interesting articles that bring knowledge and happiness to people, so I also want to be a writer, write stories for others, and dream that one day, my name will be written on the cover of a book. So I studied hard and got a certificate every semester, which made me feel a little bit proud. Every day is so happy!
In the second half of 1966, when I was in the fifth grade, not long after the new books were distributed, the school was out of order because of the Cultural Revolution. In the early days when we didn't go to school, we were happy, playing crazy in the mountains every day, poking hornet's nests, digging birds' nests, swimming in the river, touching mussels, looking for wild fruits to eat on the mountains, trying everything we could to play, and I felt very happy, but soon, I lost interest in these things, and I wanted to go back to school every day! I looked forward to the news of the opening of the school every day, but there was no news, I didn't know how many times I read the language book, and the exercises behind the math book were completed! I could almost memorize it in a student's dictionary! I want to read so much, but where are the books? I sit at home every day in a daze, I don't want to go out, when can I go back to school?
A Chinese textbook for my granddaughter
Villain bookstall
On days when I wasn't at school, I was responsible for buying groceries and cooking for my family, and sometimes I had to go to the city to buy groceries, and I had no car so I had to walk, a gravel road that connected the army compound to the city. When I went to the city to buy groceries, I found a bookstall on the side of the street, where I could read a book. The villain bookstall is usually taken care of by an elderly man. Nailed four narrow wooden strips vertically on a horizontal narrow wooden strip to make a small wooden frame that is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, nail narrower wooden strips one by one on the four horizontal wooden strips, and then nail a row of small nails on the horizontal narrow wooden strips, put a thin rope on the spine of the villain book and hang it on the small nails, put it under a big tree, and then put a few small benches, it is a villain bookstall! However, it costs money to read books, new or thicker books are read once for two cents, and old books or thinner books are read once for a penny. It was very hot in the summer, and when I went to the city to buy vegetables, my mother would let me spend two cents to buy a big bowl of tea to drink, but I was never reluctant to drink tea, so I saved the two cents to read the villain's book, and when I arrived next to the villain's bookshelf, I carefully selected a villain book, put the vegetable basket at my feet to read, and soon finished reading a book! I had to pick up the vegetable basket, reluctantly leave the bookshelf, and walk home with thirst and the scorching sun, still reminiscing about the books I have read along the way. One day, I told my mother that I wanted to buy a book, and my mother agreed! When I went to the city to buy vegetables that day, I went to the Xinhua Bookstore and picked out a copy of "The Chicken Crows in the Middle of the Night." I remember spending four dimes, touching the smooth pages, looking at the beautiful cover, and smelling the faint fragrance of books, I was very happy! This is a book that really belongs to me, and the way home that day was extraordinarily light. When I got home, I carefully wrapped the cover of my first book and read it several times before putting it away. In order to be able to buy books, I saved up toothpaste peels to sell money, and after eating oranges in the summer, I dried the orange peels and sold them to the Chinese medicine shop in the city, and once sold orange peels for seven dimes, I used the money to buy two more books, one of which is a collection of essays, and I forgot the name! But there are two articles that I still remember vividly, one is the inverted river, which describes the time when Princess Wencheng walked through the vast Gobi when she married in the west. When he saw that the road ahead was desolate and lonely, he could not help but weep sadly, so that his tears flowed into a river, because the river did not flow from west to east like other rivers, but from east to west, so it was called the river of inverted flow. In 2008, when I returned from a trip to the Mogao Grottoes in Qinghai, I passed by the Riyue Mountain, where Princess Wencheng rested when she got married, and I asked the local people if there was an inverted river here? He told me that the river was not far from here, but the river had dried up! There was also a story about the beautiful scenery of Wandar Mountain and the ginseng doll. It is written in the book that when a ginseng digger finds ginseng in the deep mountains and old forests, he must first tie the ginseng with a red thread before digging it, otherwise the ginseng doll will run away!
In 2008, I was in front of Sun Moon Mountain
After all, there are very few books I bought, and I finished reading them in a few days! So I looked for books everywhere, what books to read, I don't remember where I found a rural barefoot doctor's manual, one of the books is about how to prevent and treat leprosy, leprosy was a very terrible disease in that era, once you have this disease, you have to be sent to leprosy villages, isolated, and it will be disabled, the book preaches that leprosy has a symptom is that the eyebrows and hair will fall out, it just so happens that my eyebrows have some itching in those days, I am very nervous, every day to look at my eyebrows in the mirror, a few days have passed! It doesn't mean to fall off, but I can read again, this disease has an incubation period of several years, and I am still nervous, looking in the mirror every day to look at my eyebrows.
Later, I found out that some of my classmates in the army compound had books, which were very thick books, and although some of them were missing pages and were incomplete, the books still had too great a temptation! I tried my best to borrow books from them, and sometimes it was easy to borrow a book, but I could only borrow a book for a short time, and sometimes I had to read the book overnight in order to finish it within the specified time.
The first foreign novel I read was about how steel is made, and it was a book with traditional characters in vertical layout, and when I first saw the title, I was a little disappointed, what is so good about a book about steelmaking? But a book is always better than no book, so what is it for! Let's look at it first! When I opened the book, I was immediately attracted by the contents of the book! Although I didn't know many traditional characters, I still finished reading the book with a guess. After reading the book, I realized that this is an excellent work completed by Paul when he was blind, paralyzed, and endured the torture of illness all the time. After the tempering of the revolutionary struggle, Paul finally became a warrior of steel, thus fully embodying the value and meaning of life. I was touched by Paul's strength, saddened by his difficult childhood, and once imagined in my heart the beauty of Donni, Paul's famous quote: "The most precious thing for a person is life." Life belongs to man only once. A person's life should be spent in this way: When he looks back, he will not regret that he has done nothing and wasted his time, nor will he feel guilty for being a despicable person and living a vulgar life. Thus, at the end of his life, he was able to say: I have devoted my whole life and all my energies to the most magnificent cause in the world, to fight for the liberation of mankind. "Copied it in my notebook, and followed me to the Great Northern Wilderness.
I also read the novel "Gadfly", which is also in traditional Chinese, and although I can't read the full meaning of the book, I can feel Gadfly's hatred of that decaying world, his contempt for the priest's hypocrisy, and his desire for a new life, his attachment to his beliefs. Because I like these two books so much! It is also because this is the first foreign novel I have read, and I bought these two books after I worked and read them again.
There are also some books such as "Bitter Cauliflower", "Red Rock", "Linhai Snow Field", "Wildfire Spring Breeze Fighting Ancient City", "Red Flag Spectrum", "Song of Youth", "Youth in War", "Red Sun" and other books were read at that time.
The story of bitter cauliflower takes place in Wangguanzhuang, Kunlun Mountain, Jiaodong Peninsula, Shandong Province during the Anti-Japanese War, and the author affectionately portrays the image of Feng Damiang, that is, the mother. The mother's husband was unwilling to be oppressed by the landlord, and rose up to resist and was beaten to death by the landlord, and the eldest son Degang had to run away overnight to Kanto in order to avoid the landlord's harm. Later, the Communist Party led the people to create a base area, the mother supported her children to participate in the revolution, and the eldest son and daughter-in-law all sacrificed for the revolution! The youngest daughter was captured by the enemy together with her mother, and finally the younger daughter died in her mother's arms, and the mother did not give in, she wiped away her tears and continued to fight against the enemy, because the mother believed that the root of the bitter herb was bitter, but the flowers it bloomed were fragrant, and the poor would definitely be able to turn over and be liberated, and finally the mother picked up the gun and shot a bullet of revenge at the enemy. The mother gave her kindness and love for her children to more communists and toiling people who fought for the independence and liberation of the motherland, representing the glorious image of hundreds of millions of heroic mothers in China.
Xu Yunfeng in Hongyan, Sister Jiang, the old woman with two guns, and the White Mansion The revolutionary martyrs imprisoned in the scum cave are the heroes I worship all my life, they abandoned everything they had, even their lives, for the sake of lofty revolutionary ideals, endured unbearable torture by ordinary people, sacrificed on the eve of the dawn, and used blood to make the morning glow of New China more brilliant! And the traitor Fu Zhigao, I think he is the worst person in the world.
The vast forest sea depicted by Lin Hai Snow Plain, thick white snow, wearing a white cloak, wearing skis and galloping in the Lin Hai Snow Field, I am fascinated, the handsome Shao Jianbo, the beautiful and lively little white pigeon, the legendary hero Yang Zirong, as well as Li Yongqi, Xiao Changbao, all left a very deep impression on me, of course, there are insidious and vicious mountain carvings, cunning little furnace makers.
The book Wildfire Spring Breeze Fighting Ancient City was later made into a movie, because I like the characters in this book, Love House and Wu Zhiran, I admire Wang Xingang who plays Yang Xiaodong, Wang Xiaotang who plays Jinhuan and Yinhuan, and in today's words, become their loyal fans.
The Red Flag Spectrum describes the story of a village on the bank of the Hutuo River in the North China Plain during the First Agrarian Revolution, the protagonist of the story, Zhu Laozhong, Yan Zhi and three generations of indomitable resistance to the oppression of the landlords, although Zhu Laozhong's eldest son Dagui was arrested Zhuangding, and Yan Yuntao was imprisoned by the Kuomintang after the failure of the Northern Expedition, but these did not deter Zhu Laozhong, he said: It is precisely because of these unwilling oppressed people that there are revolutionaries who have succeeded each other and can overthrow the dark rule of old China and establish a new China in which the people are the masters of the country.
The stories and characters in the book have influenced my life, making me admire heroes, upright, and love learning, no matter what kind of difficulties I encounter in work and life, I can overcome them.
In that special era, these books accompanied me through those lonely and confused years, I was like a thirsty seedling, drawing nourishment from books, books like rain and dew nourished my little heart eager to learn, and benefited me for life.
Although I read these books decades ago, I still remember the plots and characters in the books, and each book was later made into a movie, making the characters in the books more vivid and vivid, and being moved by those stories is the life of our generation.
I really can't forget the books I read in Yangjiawan!
Edit: Have fun
