Chapter 66 7. Twenty-four happy events after I came to Taiwan

Jin Shengtan's criticism of "The West Chamber", copy red one fold, there are thirty-three "not so happy".This is a bet he made with his friend Xishan about the happiness of life. Twenty years later, he remembered it and wrote this wonderful article.I have translated the thirty-three "Isn't it too happy" into English and included it in the book, which has aroused many letters from Westerners, and they are particularly praised.There was also an old woman who wrote thirty-three happy events in her life and sent them to me.Jin Shengtan's talented articles, in today's view, are lyrical and romantic.What you see with your eyes, what you hear with your ears, what you think with your heart, you are full of talent, you can put it into the article.I think his prefaces, "Weeping for the Ancients" and "Leaving a Gift for the Future", are humorous and contain the truth, and also contain the hidden pain of life, which can be compared with Zhuang Sheng's "Equality of Things".Here are one or two examples to summarize the rest.

First, when I first wake up in the morning, I seem to hear the sighs of family members, saying that someone has died at night. Urgently calling for information, he is the number one scheming person in the city.Not too happy! First, he wanted to be a monk for a long time, so he could not openly eat meat.It's hard to be a monk, but you have to eat meat openly, so it's not so pleasant to cut your hair with hot soup and sharp knives in summer! First, get up early in summer and watch people saw big bamboos under the pine shed for use as tubes.Not too happy! In this way, I will also write twenty-four quick things after coming to Taiwan:

1. At ninety-five degrees on the Fahrenheit scale, with bare chest and bare feet, and with the door closed, it is not a pleasure to learn from Gu Qianli and read the scriptures naked! 2. When I returned to my motherland for the first time, I rented a house on the mountain, and heard the woman next door scolding the child in dirty Hokkien. People in the north don't understand it, but I understand it.Not too happy! 3. Go to the cinema and sit down, and hear the girl in the next seat speak her local accent, like going back to my hometown. Not too happy! 4. A nun who accidentally hurt Sifan.Seeing a group of monks standing up to defend the nun, they burst into tears.Not too happy!

5. At dusk, after work, after dinner, eat watermelon, sit alone on the balcony to enjoy the cool, with a pipe in your mouth, whether you eat cigarettes or not.Watching the front mountain slowly sinking into the hazy night, the lights of Tianmu below are flickering, and the breeze is blowing slowly, thinking about it but not thinking about it.Not too happy! 6. Catch the banquet, the seats are full of valuables, the air conditioner is not working, everyone suffers from the heat and faints, but they are all polite and dare not be casual.Suddenly I heard the master call to undress.I asked what about the tie?The master said that there is no need to be restrained, it is like being pardoned.Not too happy!

7. Watch TV children singing together.I saw a child who was very energetic, opened his mouth and sang loudly, and stretched out his hand to pick his nose, happy and carefree.Not too happy! 8. Listen to the man singing, the voice is breath-taking and comes from the peritoneum, the throat is relaxed, and it is naturally loud and clear.Not too happy! 9. A certain star plays martial arts, with the corners of his eyebrows and mouth, and he has a heroic look, which is different from others.Not too happy! 10. Watching children eat watermelon or peaches, melon juice and peach juice pouring into their throats makes a noise, and their saliva flows straight to their chests. There is nothing better than this to think about the happiest life in life.

11. The person in charge of the green fruit cooperative gave gold bowls and gold cups to commemorate the 20th anniversary, lawlessness and shady scenes.All of a sudden, a group of young people ran out, who had no experience in the world, but had studied law, searched for evidence according to law, and lodged reports.Take these city foxes and rats to the generals and punish them according to law.Not too happy! 12. Pretend to be a monk, do not abide by the clear rules, rape and kill women, and have been sentenced to death.Not too happy! 13. I see that people want to attack vernacular literature, but they don't understand vernacular literature; they want to promote classical Chinese, but they don't understand classical Chinese.Not too happy!

14. Studying is an exam, and the exam is for entering a higher school, and studying for a higher education is for studying in the United States.Those involved in the education also seem to be serious about holding the entrance examination. The lineup is well-organized and mighty, and the departments are assigned according to the scores, thinking that this is education.The President's proclamation reminds that the goal of education is not to take entrance examinations, but to inspire children's minds and thinking power.Not too happy! 15. It was reported that the Chinese baseball team won three games and three victories, and won the world children's baseball throne, which made me jump and scream, and jump and jump.Not too happy!

16. Our discipline and administration have set a world sports 100-meter record.Not too happy! General He Yingqin, an old man in the 17th and 80s, advocated the common use of common characters, which made the former Qing Dynasty survivors look ashamed.Not too happy! 18. As the times progress, phonograph records are used to recite scriptures for monks when people are going to funerals.Not too happy! 19. The older girl wears shorts, the younger girl jumps over the high hurdles, and the emissary hides his face and eyes with a pedantic voice, and shouts "Tsk tsk! Those who are!" What a pleasure!

20. People who can compose can seldom talk to each other.The people who can talk to each other have a Taoist face when they start writing, and they speak with splayed feet.If you meet someone you can talk to, writing an article is like meeting with a close friend, and talking heart-to-heart, like flowing clouds and flowing water, it is not so pleasant! 21. While drinking coffee for breakfast, read the square text of "Zhongwei" Wenshou, or open the Xinsheng newspaper, and see the reprint of "Ai Zi Houyu", as if putting an extra piece of sugar in the coffee cup.Not too happy!

22. The new expressway from Taipei to Beitou is safe and dangerous. It takes 18 minutes from the circle to Beitou.Not too happy! 23. When you are free at home, you have to watch TV. Watching TV has to listen to commercials. If you can watch TV, you don’t listen to commercials.Not too happy! 24. There is a garden in the house, a house in the garden, a courtyard in the house, a tree in the courtyard, the sky on the tree, and the moon in the sky.Not too happy!
