Page 66 "But have you ever thought of ghost fire?" "Ghost fire" is "phosphorus fire", which usually appears in the countryside and appears in tombs more often than on dry summer days. Because human bones contain phosphorus, after the body decays, it will produce phosphine, and the flash point of phosphine is very low and can spontaneously combust. When walking, it will move behind it (because the flow rate is large and the pressure is small), and when you look back, it is very scary, so it is called "ghost fire" by those who are timid or superstitious.

What impressed me the most was the "dirt", which was straightforward and grounded. When I was a child, in the hot summer, the sun was hot, and there was no rain for a long time, and there would be many sand and soil nests on the ground of my hometown. My little friend and I were barefoot in the sand nest, it was very hot and hot, and we all gritted our teeth to see who could endure for a longer time, often standing sweaty and full of red faces. When I was in kindergarten, it was "three muds": mud houses, mud tables, mud children, no toys, water and mud, mud people, mud guns, etc., full of earthy smell. Helping the family to do farm work, I was very tired and dirty, lying on the ground and smelling the earth, just like lying in my mother's arms, comfortable, beautiful. I have loved the breath of the land all my life, the land, is our root!
It should be said that the above colloquial, vernacular, or vernacular, did not affect the excellence of "Like a Wild Rose". On the contrary, the original taste reflects the life of the times, adding to the added fun and readability. There is no person who has a similar path to study, no person who has a similar life experience, it is difficult to read the hardships of life at that time, and it is difficult to understand the author's feelings. When sorting out these colloquial and vernacular dialects, I recalled many things when I was a child, there were joys and sorrows, there were crying and laughter, there were mixed tastes, and I felt that the protagonist Hu Damao was myself. When I was in the first grade of elementary school, I was just seven years old, and my mother sent me to report, but the teacher thought I was young (at that time, I was eight years old to go to school) and did not accept it. It was still my mother who was begging for it, and the teacher reluctantly accepted me. In the third grade, my companion Zhao Changcheng gave me a piece of persimmon cake that his aunt brought from Kunshan, which felt the same as Hu Damao's saccharin water in the book, sweet! Unforgettable! In the third year of junior high school, I was nervous and tired from studying, I often had colds, and my father took me to the hospital to let the doctor push me glucose...
Seeing these spoken and vernacular, I wanted to meet my long-lost confidant friends, and I felt that it was delicious and flavorful. The writer said in the afterword that "this novel is mainly written for children--- especially young readers." I hope my collation is beneficial and meaningful to young readers.
The local atmosphere is coming, and the wild roses are often undefeated!
