Chapter 29 Section Five Ten Years of Ink and Life①

① Lao She’s ten-year summary article basically introduces his creation after the founding of the People’s Republic of China. "Under the Red Flag" is very important. It was written in 1961-1962, but it was not completed. It was not published during his lifetime, and he did not mention it publicly.The political climate in the early 1960s made Lao She a little uncertain. 1. Creative life For ten years, I mainly wrote scripts and essays. Yes, I did not write excellent works.However, my pen and ink life is consistent with the pace of social life.This makes my life happy.I watch the society, and I always want my pen to catch up with the current.My talents are limited, my experience is limited, and I have not been able to understand everything at present more deeply.However, what I can understand is reflected in my works in a timely manner, to some extent fulfill the responsibility of encouraging the people to move forward, and repay the people for encouraging me.I'm ashamed that I couldn't write better, but I'm also glad that the times didn't leave us far behind.The rapids of the times do not take care of the lazy.Write short stories about popular literature and art, use specific short stories to promote hygiene, explain marriage laws, or break superstitions, etc.The article is small, the article is popular, and the identity of the author is not lost. As long as the article can reach the hands of the people, it will have a good effect.I also help edit Talking Rap Changing, a national popular literature and art publication.Because of editing this publication, I came into contact with various issues related to folk literature and art, which enriched my knowledge of inheriting folk literature and art traditions and promoting the national style of literature and art.Gain knowledge from practical work, and also get happiness.Here, I realize the meaning of "conscious labor".

Because I was exposed to issues such as inheriting national literary traditions, my little knowledge of classical literature and art was useful.I explain it to the editorial department of "Speaking, Rap, Singing" and other young friends from time to time, helping them understand the benefits of classical literature and art, and telling them how to learn and how to use classical literature and art heritage as far as I can understand.Chairman Mao's instruction of "let a hundred flowers bloom and weed out the old to bring forth the new" is correct and beautiful.Our creations can neither be self-sufficient nor roughly cut off from history. They must have realistic content and diverse forms.

I was not good at writing screenplays.In the past ten years, I have written more than ten dramas and operas.Some of them are used in theaters, and some are thrown away.I am learning.The production of waste products is unavoidable in the learning process, and every time you fail, you will gain another experience.So even if you fail, it's not without fun.If you are not afraid of failure, you will grow your skills.I do feel that the more I write, the better I write, and that hard work never fails.After writing a play, of course you have to go to the director and the actors to discuss it.They are experts.Talk to people in the know, and you will gain insights naturally.That's it, I slowly understood some stage techniques.This is another kind of fun.In the new society, everyone is willing to pass on their skills to others.As long as you are willing to learn, there are many opportunities.I call my work "Democratic Playbook".That is to say, I welcome everyone's comments so that the revision can be better.Of course, modification is quite troublesome.But trouble is fun, as long as you don't mind trouble.Moreover, the director and actors not only offered their opinions sincerely, they also sincerely helped me.I have pretty bad leg problems.In order to inquire about something, they will travel a lot for me; in order to understand something in depth, they will go to the countryside or factory for me, live there, and experience it.How many friends have I made in the past ten years!How many directors and actors supported my democratic script!Isn't that fun?Collaboration is a good trend in the new society.After the script was performed, the audience also gave their opinions enthusiastically, which is another kind of collaboration.

The relationship between people has changed.This is the main content of my pen.I wrote about how artists, especially female artists, were exploited and abused in the past, but after liberation they were regarded as artists. Many male and female artists have become local and national people's representatives or members of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference!I was friends with them before liberation, but apart from sometimes writing lyrics for them, I couldn't help them solve other problems.Now, not only their problems have been solved, but also many people are educated and can compose libretto by themselves.

I also wrote about how ordinary poor working people have improved their environment. They are no longer bullied and humiliated by bullies, and they have a place to work that is not dirty or smelly.This is the theme of my "Longxugou". In my plays, I write many images of women.In the old society, ordinary people were miserable, and women were especially miserable.In the new society, the first thing that moved me the most was the improvement of women's status.From a daughter-in-law or girl who went to work happily, I saw a big change in the relationship between people.Men and women are equal.I can't help but sing the praises of this big change!Women, like men, make the history of the new age.The "Red Courtyard" I wrote last year, and this year's article both involve the exciting theme of women's liberation.The play may not be well written, but my joy cannot be suppressed.

Yes, I have written facts and questions on many fronts because they are right in front of my eyes.When I see it, I will write it.And I can't write as a bystander, I want to stand among the characters in the play, I hope I am one of them.In this way, I can become a student of the masses and have the enthusiasm to write.If my work lacks artistry and cannot be considered a masterpiece, it is only because I have not learned enough from the people and divorced myself from the masses.Where can I find the source of creation?Can I find the relationship between people in the new era, novel art forms, and living language just by my personal imagination?I dare not be so arrogant!

-------- ① Such as "Looking West at Chang'an". Over the past ten years, I have written some works, and I should thank the people!It is the people who gave me characters and facts worthy of writing, and gave me concise and powerful language.I will continue to learn from them in order to get better creative achievements. 2. Encouragement and inspiration I must also mention that no matter whether I write big works or small works, I always receive meticulous help from the leaders.Under the dark rule of the Kuomintang, I often lived in the "desert".That is to say: no one cares whether I work or not; no one cares whether I live or die.The Kuomintang only cares about one thing - reviewing the manuscripts of books.No, they also ban books and arrest writers!Today, in order to write something, how many documents can I consult, can ask for my temporary assistant, can get the convenience of visiting and traveling, and can ask the heads of state to participate in opinions——When the Beijing People’s Art Theater rehearsed my drama "Spring Flowers and Autumn Fruits" At that time, the three mayors of Beijing were invited to visit it two or three times in their busy schedules, and discussed with us how to make the script more artistic and ideological.After my "Longxugou" (not such a great play) was staged, the mayor gave me a certificate according to the opinions of the citizens.The party and the government value literature and art, and the people value literature and art. Can literary and art workers be unhappy and not work hard?I have been writing for thirty years, but only in the recent new society have I received the respect due to a writer.

I am respected and encouraged spiritually, and cared for and rewarded materially.There are royalties for writing manuscripts and royalties for publishing books. Not only do I not have to worry about food and drink like before liberation, but I also have spare money to collect a few small paintings by the great painter Mr. Qi Baishi, or buy one or two dilapidated paintings that are still bright and lovely. A small bottle or bowl from the Kangxi or Qianlong period.In my hut I always have paintings and various china for my admiration.In my small yard, I have all kinds of flowers and plants that are easy to grow.I have leg problems and can't do strenuous exercise, so watering and planting flowers is just right.I no longer live in the "desert"!

I work continuously throughout the year.I refused to rest except when I was sick.I have written a lot, but I still feel that I have written too little.How many new people and new things can be written in the new society!As long as I am willing to go deep into life, whether it is a worker, a farmer, or a soldier, there are inexhaustible writing materials.Every factory, every village, and every military unit is like a treasure mountain, with rare treasures everywhere.To write about workers, peasants and soldiers opened up a new world for writers. What a realistic, rich, and beautiful new world!To write for the workers, peasants and soldiers is to give writers a new and glorious task.Now, I hardly dare to look at the works I published before liberation.The contents of those works are mostly personal feelings, which are not painful or itchy, and dispensable.The life they reflect is indeed multifarious at first glance; but it is irrelevant when you look closely.At that time, I didn't know what to write, so I grasped a grain of sand and imagined seeing a world; I didn't know who to write for, so I regarded my little feelings as big things.In this way, I can't help but go around in circles on writing skills, trying to use writing skills to cover up the emptiness of content and the poverty of life.Today, I have a clear creative purpose.In order to achieve this goal, I have to go deep into life; is it a disadvantage for writers to go deep into life?Only when I take real things out of life can I really create freely.Before liberation, I often worried about what to write, even without the most powerful book censorship system, I still worried-there was nothing to write!Today, I am free to experience life; when life is rich, I can write freely.If I close my eyes and ignore real life, and write something illusory based on fantasy, it is a waste of pen and ink, not freedom. Inspiration for living better and happier days!

3. Laws of literature How is this play written, why is it only about a teahouse? The teahouse is a place where the three teachings and nine streams meet, and it can accommodate people of all colors.A big teahouse is a small society.Although this play has only three acts, it describes the changes of more than fifty years.In these changes, there is no way to avoid political problems.However, I am not familiar with high-ranking officials on the political stage, so I cannot positively describe their promotion and retreat.I don't know much about politics either.I only know some small people who often go to teahouses.Well, if I gather them in a teahouse and use the changes in their lives to reflect the changes in society, won't I reveal some political news from the side?In this way, I decided to write.

There are many characters and ages, so it is not easy to find a central story.I adopted four methods: (1) The main characters run through the whole play from strong to old.In this way, although the story is loose, but the central characters are somewhat settled, it will not be too far away from the topic and do not know what to say.The way this play is written is that the characters drive the story, which is similar to a newspaper drama, but it is not a newspaper drama.This drama focuses on people, while ordinary newspaper dramas often focus on events. (2) The secondary characters are inherited from father to son, and both father and son are played by the same actor.This will also help the continuity of the story.This is a technique, not based on any theory.In real life, a son does not have to inherit his father's business; but on the stage, father and son are played by the same actor, which makes it easy for the audience to see that the story is continuous, even though there are many years between scenes. (3) I try to make each character tell their own story, but it has a relationship with the times.In this way, cooks are like cooks, and storytellers are like storytellers, because they talk about their own business.At the same time, they combined their own affairs with the times, like famous chefs, ended up taking care of the prison’s meals, and casually said that there were too many people in the prison this year; It's a bad year, and the real thing will be lost... Therefore, although the characters have their own stories, they can all help reflect the era, so that the audience can see all kinds of people, and by the way, see a little bit of the appearance of that era .Although such characters may have only spoken a few sentences, they did explain their fate. (4) All insignificant characters come as soon as they are called, and go away as soon as they are called, without any politeness. The characters are arranged in this way, and the plot is easy to handle.Are you afraid of having nothing to say when you have someone?Some people think that the storyline of this play is not strong, and suggest: use Kang Shunzi's experience and Kang Dali's participation in the revolution as the main point to develop the plot, which may be more like a drama than what I wrote.I appreciate this suggestion, but it cannot be adopted. ①.Because then, my goal of destroying the three eras will be difficult to achieve.If we focus on one thing to develop, I am afraid that the teahouse will collapse before it is occupied by others.My way of writing is somewhat a new attempt, and I am not completely bound by old routines. I enthusiastically accept other people's opinions and revise the script, which is very good.However, this also proves that because I didn't think much about ideological issues, I had no choice but to delete, delete, and fill in minor details, and the opinions I put forward are often focused on minor details.I don't have a deep foundation of thought in my heart, so I can't judge which opinions can be adopted and which opinions can be ignored.Without a deep ideological foundation, my diligence in revision just showed my hesitation. My better works② also have only a temporary influence, and are of little use when things change.Yes, it's good to have a temporary impact.However, that is not as influential as it is today, and it will still be influential tomorrow.Those that cannot withstand the test of time cannot be counted as great works, but our great era should produce great works.A writer must also be a thinker. -------- ① Lao She once experienced an era of revising manuscripts for writers.Everyone started to change drama scripts and movie scripts.Lao She described some people: "Because he doesn't understand business, he may not have a passion for business. In this way, he only feels that he must change, and he even does not hesitate to use administrative orders." It seems that everyone has the right to modify the script, and everyone is superior. When the first draft arrives, everyone does it, making major changes. No matter how thin the original draft is, there are always some advantages if it comes from a family; Afterwards, those benefits were uprooted; if there were 40% artistry in the past, even 10% could not be found later. The final version from this revision conference is that the four elements are empty: the beauty of language, the beauty of plot, the unique style, and the integrity of structure , None at all. Of course, the film made with this kind of final version is also empty of all four, and the audience shook their heads together." He expressed his feelings: "I don't want to blame anyone, I don't want to be held accountable. But when I think about it, I can't help it sad!" ② Refers to works created before. 4. Shannanhaibei①, children, flowers and plants -------- ①Here are only a few major travels of Lao She in China.Foreign ones, such as the experience of going to the Soviet Union and Japan, may not be easy to choose, or they are too far away from the biographical text, so they are not included. For ten years, I have not cured my leg disease.My bad legs deprived me of the right to go deep into the lives of workers, peasants and soldiers.I don't want to trouble them.I don't even dare to travel or visit much.I like to travel and visit; but if I don't pay attention, my legs will suffer a lot and I have to go to the hospital.In this way, I can only go around in circles in Beijing to find some writing materials. How I look forward to the rapid recovery of my legs, my walking like flying, and the ability to live and write in the mountains and rivers with young men and women! Xinjiang half moon (1957) On May 19, I went to congratulate the establishment of the branch of the Xinjiang Writers Association. This is my first time to Xinjiang.I am eager to see the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains before and after the meeting and open my eyes.However, apart from Urumqi, I only seized the time and took a quick look at the Shihezi Military Reclamation Area, but I couldn't see anything else. The main reason is that too few mainland writers go to Xinjiang, so everyone asked to meet when they heard that I was coming.Seeing the situation clearly, I immediately decided: see people first, and then visit.The Soviet writers who participated in the conference spent two days visiting Turpan; I did not go—I used these two days to hold four symposiums, and met with middle school Chinese teachers, literary and art workers in the Corps, and the editorial department of "Tianshan". and some amateur writers.I thought this way: If I don’t have enough time to visit Turpan and other places, anyway, I met my friends and finally “did my duty”.Conversely, if I spend all my time on sightseeing and don't have time to meet friends, it will be too late.Friends are more important than mountains and rivers. In half a month, I gave ten "discussion reports"-this is a new vocabulary I created.Everyone knows that my health is not very good, so it is inconvenient to ask me to give a long report, but invite me to have a discussion.In fact, at the symposium, I was either passing notes or asking questions, so I had to give a long monologue, which was equivalent to a report.In addition to what was mentioned in the previous paragraph, I also gave a discussion report to the professors and students of the School of Chinese, most of the students of the Bayi Agricultural College, the members of the field team of the Petroleum Administration Bureau, the literary and artistic cadres of the radio station, and the literary and art lovers in Shihezi. At the Qu Yuan Memorial Meeting, I met with young writers in Urumqi. In addition to the symposium report, I also received more than 80 letters, and I gave simple answers to all of them.Some of the letters still had manuscripts attached, but I couldn't find the time to read them, so I had to apologize and return them. Outside of Urumqi, I only saw Shihezi.Well, taking Shihezi as an example, isn't it a miracle?The original Shihezi only had a few tea huts, standing beside the Urumqi-Ili road, waiting for pedestrians to rest, sharpen and drink horses here.Besides, there is nothing left.Today, a new city has been built here, with banks, post offices, department stores, canteens, movie theaters, schools, hospitals, oil mills, tractor repair factories and decent and comfortable guest houses.Outside the city, there used to be only ten thousand hectares of reed ponds, but today it has become a vast oasis producing wheat and cotton.Look, the Tianshan Mountains are in the south, the desert is in the north, and there are endless green wheat fields and cotton fields in the middle.Windbreak shrubs are neatly planted around each field, and under the shade of the trees are water canals for irrigation.It's been a few years.The creation of the fighters of the four divisions (now organized into two divisions), completely from scratch, turned the wasteland into a fertile field.It is said that at the beginning of land reclamation, soldiers had to smear their faces and bodies with mud, otherwise gadflies and mosquitoes would bite them badly.At that time, even the chief had to live in a den—a hole dug in the ground and covered with reed sticks.At that time, wolves and beasts would also attack them during the day.The essence of heroes is not to bow to difficulties: they not only open up land, but also build dormitories, schools, hospitals and so on.They don't have engineers, but the house is not only of good quality, but also elegant and lovely.They burn their own bricks and install their own lights.With hands, brains, and determination, they created everything and added a new city to the world map, a new city where no one has ever exploited anyone.While visiting the hospital, I heard the cry of a newborn baby.Happy dolls, born in a new city with everything new! In this reclamation area, there used to be peasant households from some brother ethnic groups scattered all over the place.They enthusiastically cooperated with the land reclamation troops, moved to several places, and lived together as a group.In this way, the conditions for establishing agricultural cooperatives were created, and they immediately took advantage of these conditions and organized them.From the road, I saw one or two new villages: houses, schools, all new.Of course, their way of life and social institutions are also new. Outside of the military reclamation area, how many constructions are worth writing about!I had a discussion with the young men and women of the field team of the Petroleum Administration, and they gave me a small glass tube of crude oil from Karamay, as well as a few small pieces of mica and agate.They picked up these treasures and collected the most valuable life experience.Not only did they get to know the mountains, rivers and treasures of Xinjiang, but they also got to know themselves, the young warriors who are building socialism!The strong winds in the desert and the snow on the Tianshan Mountains sometimes caused them pain and sometimes ecstasy.Pain, ecstasy, where there is youth, there is poetry! Inner Mongolia scenery In the summer of 1961, at the invitation of Comrade Ulanhu of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, we—writers, painters, musicians, dancers, singers, etc., a total of 20 people—organized by the Central Ministry of Culture, the Ethnic Affairs Committee and the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles. , visited eastern and western Inner Mongolia for eight weeks.Accompanying us was Comrade Buhe from the Inner Mongolia Cultural Bureau.He arranged a very good visiting program for us, enabling us to see forest areas, pastoral areas, agricultural areas, fishing grounds, scenic spots and industrial bases in a short period of time; we also saw some historical sites, schools and exhibition halls; and Participated in various cultural activities, exchanged experiences and learned from each other. This time, I have the opportunity to see Daxing'an Mountains and enter the primeval forest.Everywhere you look is green.It was indeed Lin Hai.The ups and downs of the mountains are the waves of the forest sea.How many shades of green: deep, light, light, dark, too green to describe, too green to describe.Who enters the mountain and sees the countless green pines and white birches, can he not immediately look in all directions?How many provinces have used the timber here!Its beauty and construction are integrated, which not only makes us applaud, but also makes us feel warm, so it is kind and comfortable. I see the prairie.The sky there is more lovely than the sky in other places, the air is so fresh and the sky is so clear, I always want to sing a song to express my happiness.Under the sky, there is a thousand miles away, but it is not vast.Both humans and animals are prosperous, this is an emerald world.Even Jiangnan may not have such a scenery! How deep is the water in Dalai Lake and how thick are the fish.We ate fish from the lake, which was very fat.The water is good, so the fish is fat.There are three rivers flowing into the lake, and all three rivers pass through the grassland, so the lake is a thousand hectares of green—the grassland is not green, and it is in front of the green wave again.There are many white gulls flying on the lake.What a charming scenery there are fishing boats wandering among the green shore, green lake, blue sky and white gulls! Zhalantun is truly a pearl on the plug.How beautiful it is!It is not as bright as Suzhou and Hangzhou, nor does it have the aura of eternal snow in Tianshan Mountains, but it has a unique style and is charmingly beautiful.It has almost no artificial carvings, just some purely natural mountains, rivers and plants. south tour In the first half of 1962, I couldn't write anything.Not because of illness, nor because of laziness, but because of traveling. In February, I went to Guangzhou to attend a theater writing conference.In the north, it was still cold, and I was still wearing a fur coat when I boarded the train.As soon as I entered Guangdong, all kinds of flowers bloomed, and my fur coat was useless.So I moved the idea of ​​spring outing.During the meeting, I used the weekend to visit famous cities such as Conghua, Foshan, Xinhui and Gaoyao.The roads in Guangdong are really good, our car is new and fast, and we are very happy.After the closing ceremony of the meeting, there was still a lot of interest in traveling, and friends from Tongyang Hansheng and Cao Yu passed through Huiyang, Haifeng, Puning, Haimen, etc., went to Shantou for a short stay, and visited Chenghai and Chao'an.From Chaoshan to Fujian, visited Zhangzhou, Xiamen, Quanzhou and Fuzhou, and then returned to Beijing from Shanghai. When visiting various places, always visit the park first.In the past, I didn't dare to go to the park much, I hated those idlers who were full of food all day long and said nothing.Now, as soon as I entered the park, I saw the luxuriant flowers and trees, the beauty of the pavilions and pools, and my spirit was lifted.When I see tourists, I feel even happier.Look, the working people help the old and the young, come here on Sundays or other holidays, talking and laughing, having dinner with friends, or drinking tea with the whole family, how beautiful it is!The park is beautiful, people are healthy, and life has improved, isn't it the most gratifying thing? Today, we are proud that everything worth preserving is protected and studied.Not only the famous ancient temples and gardens in Guangzhou and Fuzhou have been refurbished or carefully protected, but the ancestral halls in Foshan and the high-level Qixingyan are also relics of historic sites and splendor. Traveling around Guangdong and Fujian, there are good shows almost every night.Cantonese opera, Teochew opera, modern drama, Hokkien opera, Gaojia opera, Puxian opera... It is impossible to finish watching, and they are all so wonderful!The most gratifying thing is that every genre of drama has successors, and master masters unreservedly pass on unique skills to male and female apprentices.Those primary school students are promising and their future is limitless.The master teaches well, and the students learn diligently, so they learn quickly and well.Seeing so many dramas competing for beauty, I really understand what it means to let a hundred flowers bloom, and what a delicious flower it is!I love literature and art, so I am naturally happy to see this scene; I think other people will be happy too, who doesn't like to watch a good show? sons and daughters Recently, every Sunday, I feel happy and a little lonely at the same time.The happy thing is: the sons and daughters all came home from school and institutions to visit, and brought their boyfriends and girlfriends with them. It was really lively.Listen, the sound of laughter and debate in each room is continuous, and the sound shakes the roof tiles. Even our big cat can't find a place to sleep in, so he has to run to the room and sit there.Although so lively, I am very lonely.I can't get in on what they're talking about; I can't understand what they're talking about! -------- ① Written at the end of 1962. My knowledge of literature and art is not very rich, but I have always used writing as a career for decades, so it should have some influence on my children.This is not the case.They don't study literature and art, although they also like to read novels, dramas, movies and so on.They, even the boyfriends and girlfriends they bring with them, study science.The youngest of my family, the doll with two pigtails, has just been admitted to university and is studying physics again!This group of young scientists got together, even talking and laughing seemed to have some scientific taste, I couldn't understand. They are not just joking and arguing.Sometimes, they quieted down: the elder brother helped the younger sister to calculate a difficult problem in mathematics, or a few of them silently pondered over some scientific truth.At such times, I can see that their deep thinking is not different from the poet's exhaustion.I can also see that when the poet really can't find the best word, he has no choice but to use the second best word for the time being, but little scientists can't do this, they have to find the most correct answer, Not even a little bit.When they got the answer, they danced and sang happily, thinking that they had got a small key to open the secret of the universe. I see a new spirit.Yes, from the time they decided which school to apply for and which science to take, I kept hearing pleasant words such as "cutting-edge", "invention" and "innovation".Therefore, I did not participate in the opinions, let alone obstruct them.They were discussing so enthusiastically and preparing for the exam so hard, what can I say!I saw that it was the new spirit that ruled and inspired them, and that I had no right to hinder them. Their choice is not for fame and fortune, but to make up their minds to work hard.Yes, from how they prepare their homework and how they formulate work plans, I can see that the path they choose is not easy to walk.They have the courage and determination to go over the mountains and climb the peaks.Their choice is not only due to personal hobbies, but also a manifestation of political enthusiasm-now is the atomic age, and our science and technology are still a little behind, we must catch up.If you want to build a country with modern industry, agriculture and culture, you must have modern science and technology!I cannot stop my sons and daughters from learning science just because I love literature and art.To build a great motherland and rely on self-reliance, we must break through the barriers of science and technology.The sons and daughters, under the education and training of the party, not only understand this truth, but also are determined to be people who break through the barriers.What a joy!Yes, not to mention anything else, how much scientific research and experiments are needed to improve a wheat seed or manufacture a nylon sock!If science is underdeveloped, modernization is out of the question. Our old farmers have a lot of valuable agricultural knowledge and experience, but without modern science and technology, it is difficult to meet the requirements of agricultural modernization.Our handicraft industry has a long tradition and many tricks handed down from generation to generation, but it must be further improved to scientific theory before it can develop and improve.Not to mention heavy industry and emerging industries, without modern science and technology, it is difficult to move forward. Little scientists, what a great responsibility you have! So my Sunday solitude was joyful.I can't imitate a big cat, and run to the room if I don't understand it.I silently listened to the discussions of the young generals, and thought: If I also know a little science, how good it is!How original and instructive it is to write some science fiction, or novels about inventions.Wouldn't it be better if we could write about the new spirit of loving science of the younger generation?Yes, we probably still lack such works.I hope that works like this will appear soon.This should be a new and important theme in literary and artistic creation. flowers and plants I love flowers, so I love growing them.I haven't become an expert in gardening yet, because I don't have time to do research and experiments.I only regard growing flowers as one of the joys in life. I don't care about the size of the flowers. As long as they bloom, I am happy.In my small courtyard, in summer, it is full of flowers and plants, and the kittens have to go to the room to play, and there is no playground for them on the ground.It was cold in winter, and we couldn't put flowers in the yard, so we had to move them inside.Every winter, there are always more flowers than people in my house.The situation is pressing!Growing flowers in a house is like raising birds in a cage. Even if you take good care of them, they will not look good.Unless a special flower room is built, the problem cannot be solved.In my small courtyard, there is no gap to build a flower room! Although there are many flowers, there are no exotic flowers and weeds.Precious flowers and plants are not easy to maintain, and it is sad to watch a good flower plant dying.I don't want to cry all the time.Beijing's climate is not very good for growing flowers.Winter is cold, spring is windy, summer is either drought or heavy rain; autumn is the best, but there will be sudden frost.In this climate, I don't have that much ability to feed the good flowers in the south.Therefore, I only raise some flowers and plants that are easy to grow and can struggle. When spring comes, it is still not easy to arrange my flowers and plants: move them out early to avoid wind and frost; if you don't move them out, they will all send out thin and tender leaves, which is very unhealthy.This thin sliver will not produce flowers.It's disturbing to watch! It was so easy to look forward to the summer, and the flower pots were transported to the courtyard, but it was not completely smooth.The courtyard is small and airtight, so many flowers get sick.Especially those from the south, such as magnolia, gardenia, jasmine, kumquat, camellia... the leaves will fall and the branches will wither and die quietly.Therefore, I made up my mind that when I bought these more delicate flowers, I thought they would not last long, so as to fulfill my heart and not make any illusions, so as not to weep and hurt my spirit when they withered.At the same time, we should also grow some flowers and plants that it would never die, such as oleander, in order to see some flowers all the time. In summer, the sun in Beijing is too strong, and if there is no rain, it will pour down on the sea at once, which is unstoppable and not conducive to the growth of flowers and plants. Autumn is better.But there was a sudden gust of cold wind, which could not be prevented, and the delicate flowers were seriously injured.So, the whole family mobilized, with all their hands and feet, and moved into the house!The houses are crowded with flower pots, and people must be careful not to trip when they go out and in! However, although the flowers and plants will fight on their own, if I leave them alone and let them die, most of them will die.I have to take care of them every day and care about them like a good friend.After going back and forth, I figured out some ways: some like shade, so don't put them in the sun; some like dry, so don't water too much.This is a pleasure. After touching the doorway, the flowers and plants are fed, and they are alive and blooming for three to five years. How interesting!It's not just bragging, it's knowledge!Gaining more knowledge is definitely not a bad thing. Aren't I suffering from leg problems? Not only is it bad for walking, it's also not good for sitting for long periods of time.I don't know that the flowers and plants are taken care of by me. I don't thank them for being grateful; I have to thank them.When I was working, I always wrote dozens of words, then went to the yard to look, water this tree, move that pot, then went back to the house to write a little more, and then went out, and so on. Combining mental and physical labor is beneficial to the body and mind, better than taking medicine.If there is a violent storm or a sudden change in the weather, the whole family will have to mobilize to rescue the flowers and plants, which is very tense.Hundreds of potted flowers had to be rushed into the house quickly, making people's backs ache, legs ached, and sweating profusely.The next day, the weather improved, and I had to move all the flowers out again, so my waist was sore and my legs hurt again, and I was sweating profusely.But how interesting it is!If you don't work, you can't even support a flower. Isn't this the truth? The comrades who deliver the milk boast "it smells so good" when they enter the door!It makes our whole family proud.When the epiphyllum is in full bloom, invite a few friends to come and see it, and it is even more like holding a candle for a night tour-the epiphyllum always puts pistils at night.When the flowers are divided into roots, one tree will be divided into several trees, and some will be given to friends; watching friends take away the fruits of their labor, I naturally like it very much. Of course, there are also sad times, and there was one such time in Xia Tian.Three hundred chrysanthemum seedlings were still on the ground (it was not time to put them into pots), and it rained heavily.The wall of the neighbor's house fell down, and more than 30 kinds of chrysanthemum seedlings were smashed to death, more than 100 trees!The whole family didn't smile for days!
