Chapter 131 little memories and feelings

More than 20 years ago, a young man was so angry that he didn't eat for three days because he was said to be "not enlightened". "Not awakening" is the most dishonorable thing. Every ambitious young man makes friends or falls in love, first of all to see if the other party is awakened.Young people with similar interests have to question each other's "view on life" within three sentences when they meet; Still can't tell why. This was a trend at the time; at that time, some adults and gentlemen looked at it with dislike and dismissed it as "shallow", and today, they also think it is "childish", but is it not childish and cute?Rodin's famous statue is called "The Age of Copper Flats", and our youth at that time is like "The Age of Copper Flats"; this is when we suddenly opened our eyes in the long night, unheard of, unseen, amazed and ecstatic, and suddenly knew ourselves Knowing the value of one's own mission, looking for a partner anxiously, and taking the first step bravely, such a mental state of no hesitation and going forward, this is exactly what the ancient philosophers chanted, "I hear the Tao in the morning, and I will never forget it in the evening." Isn't the spirit of "death to die" not great enough!

At that time, "enlightenment" and "non-enlightenment" were as distinct as black and white.He despises power, despises honor, disdains leisure, feels pity for those complacent fellows holding stinky rats, and parades in the crowds without hesitation, making comments as if no one else is there, looking at the sky with blank eyes, as if to say: "What are you worth, I have my outlook on life!" This is the style of "enlightened people".Is it true that this is "naive"?But how lovely!In fact, it is these "naive" people who charged forward and became steel, and wrote glorious poems in the nearly two decades of Chinese history!

At that time, there were also young people like this: listened to his arguments, he was succinct, saw his actions, and was well-versed in the world. One said: "This is to deal with the environment", and the other said: "In order to live, I have to do it." To tell a lie, even if you fart, you have to "explain" some truth.Did you say he was "Luo Ting"?He is not as enthusiastic and frank as Luo Ting; is he called "Ah Q"?He is more foreign-style than Ah Q, he knows more stereotypes, and he knows more formulas.And Yu Qifan, he would criticize the young people more than 20 years ago: childish!Of course he was seasoned; but also terribly seasoned!

At that time, people who were obviously "Master's background" always wanted to be misunderstood as "Master", forgot that he was "Master", and always wanted to erase the traces of "Master" from themselves.Today, some people who are obviously not "young masters" or can't be "young masters" always want to give others the impression that he is a son of a family and that he is a 100% "young master". It seems that it is more beautiful before the background of "it was the young master". More than 20 years ago, young girls regarded painting with red and powder as insults, and gorgeous clothes and ornaments as shackles; more than 20 years later, the girls became middle-aged women, but they regarded the past as "sulphur" and "shackles" It is for beauty, for "scenes", and when it comes to hating those "insults" and "shackles" as much as before, it is always a bit coy, and it is always self-deprecating as "childish", if it is too regrettable.And there is another reason: "You see, Soviet women also wear heavy makeup!" Of course, we don't talk about the makeup of Soviet women before the Five-Year Plan.It describes a governor who "advocates frugality", and his subordinates will be scolded when they come to see him in neater clothes. As a result, the tattered official clothes in the provincial capital are more expensive than the new ones.Of course, the motives of those young women who were played by Ping Hua more than 20 years ago were very different from the governor's; at best, they could only be described as "childish", but such "childishness" is common among today's young women. It's a pity that it's too rare.

When I think of all this, I feel a little bewildered.I am not willing to unconditionally support the "childishness" of more than 20 years ago, but I also feel that the frankness, innocence, simplicity, and bravery that came with the "childhood" at that time are exactly what some people today want to "avoid childishness" young people lack.Don't be afraid of childishness, what's scary is this lack! 3 days before the "May 4th" in 1945.
