Chapter 14 book review

Jing Hui: Say it, memory "The years are passing, my dear, and soon no one will know what you and I know." -Nabokov, "Speak, Memory" A book about memory is quietly heating up. Great vulgarity and great elegance are reflected in every line of life.The book consists of ten chapters, and these ten fragments form a complete world that has disappeared.Playing mahjong, saving the computer, watching porn, picking up girls, reading... The most interesting and memorable things in life are all captured in this book.There was no such book before, and there probably won't be any in the future.As the last watchmen of the planned economy era—the group of people in the 1960s and 1970s are approaching their age, they no longer pay the price for youthful and frivolous; as this society becomes more and more standardized, everyone's desires can be disclosed in it. When she is freed, the dangerous and tempting memories of the past will become closer and closer to a legend.

Fragments are the essence of life.We are fragments of the world, and the world appears before us in fragments.When you, who have become potbellied, walk down that road one day after many years, you have left the present world and bumped into some fragment from the past—it may be a green first kiss, a The chewing gum you stole from her mouth (see "Memory Fragments About Picking Up Girls"). But there are not many sad memories in the book. "When we meet again at the age of forty, we don't cry but laugh at your absurdity back then" - Chen Sheng's "Twenty Years Old Tears".The world in the eyes of twenty-year-olds is full of unknowns, and then we spend all our time digesting the original curiosity, as well as the sadness and fear derived from it.Those things that made us incomparable in the past, such as breaking a leg while playing mahjong, and foaming at the mouth for a handful (see "Memory Fragments About Mahjong"), now seem as absurd as Kafka's novels .Ridiculous—that's the final word on our adolescence being set right.In the face of this absurdity, how much we cared about them back then is how loudly we laugh now.

To put a twist on what Nabokov said: Soon no one will know what we're laughing at—including ourselves.The birth of such a book is both inevitable and accidental.We have become the mainstay of this society from being persecuted.It represents that all our members jointly pronounced the sentence in a gesture of tolerance, pardoning the troubled past imprisoned in it, and at the same time secretly changing all the concepts about the past.Those concepts that have been replaced by stealth seem to be the last layer of skin that we shed, and finally disappear in the tunnel of time in the laughter that we are gradually going away.

Old cat: CI of a generation I always feel that there should be a louder voice in life. This voice may not be so loud, but it must be full of sunshine. That's the voice of the person signed "see tricks and dismantle tricks".Although it only describes the growth experience of a group of old men in the past, although it only talks about trivial things, it is true.Few people can accurately and truly repeat themselves, but they can do it by tricks.This was before the emergence of mobile phones, the Internet, KTV boxes, SARS and car and housing loans the sound of.The protagonists of these books are now in debt and mentally weary, but they still miss that time.In addition to evoking the warm memory of these people, faithful retelling [Qi`shu`net`int.li.provided] can also make them tell themselves: we are still alive, and we still have energy.The self that we formed then is still firmly in place today.We should restore everything about ourselves, and return to the state of playing mahjong when we want to play mahjong, watching discs when we want to watch discs, and singing when we want to sing.It is not difficult to do these again.

He is very forthright, because he is ranked sixth in the university dormitory, and his peers call him "old six", and the juniors call him "sixth brother".I think that besides human nature, many of these lovable boldness are honed out of those fragments.The truth is that we should not underestimate those things that seem to be unpopular or not humane. Sometimes, it is precisely these things that can reflect a person's true temperament.Those heroic deeds that are vigorous and people talk about are full of chance for individuals.Therefore, we don't have to hide anything. After wearing the mask for more than ten years, we went back with him to see the little cares of the past, and enjoyed it a lot.

Lao Liu himself is very particular about symbols.For example, his admiration for the number "six" is at its peak. No matter what the occasion, no matter what the content is, he can't help but praise it when he sees "six".This is easily reminiscent of a product's CI. "Six" is his CI.In fact, the "fragments" he wrote are also the CI of that generation, mahjong, discs, books, porn, storytelling, fights...all of which are commonly experienced by that generation, and all of which are in the hearts of that generation. Deeply imprinted.In addition to being full of wit and wit, we saw that the guys who were once despised by the elders and the mainstream public opinion can still stand up from the "garbage". Bao Zhuang.A friend once wrote an article saying that in an era without heroes, there are only people.Since they are human beings, playthings are also normal.It is the plaything of this generation: they may not have the courage to go to the forefront, but they dare to laugh at themselves, reflect on themselves inadvertently, and dare to speak out even a moment of their triviality and weakness.This is enough.This is more representative of our time and our group than those who try to hide their shortcomings, dress up in public, and always want to put a halo on their heads.

There is no utilitarianism when writing these "fragments" when seeing tricks and dismantling tricks, which is one of the reasons why the article is so good-looking.I know that he wrote it at the beginning just because he had the desire to tell, and then posted it on the Internet, and then it was widely read.This shows at least two issues. One is that his articles are not moral articles, but they are indeed moral articles, but they are different, making people feel fresh and interesting. The other is his kind of feelings, even in today's It can also resonate in the hearts of young men and women.Today, when modernization has gone beyond the limits, what people see is a handicraft era in the 1980s, and it is so yearning to see the bright spiritual freedom of that era.He's reminding everyone that even when they're running like hell and willingly locked into cars, computers, and bank accounts, there should be a little indulgence.

In addition to the above, there are several novelties in this book.First of all, when memories became fashionable, "Shards" was freed from heaviness and pretentiousness, giving people a happy, lively and dynamic memory; secondly, born in the 1960s and growing up in the 1980s When some people start to make mainstream voices and try their best to flaunt themselves as extraordinary, "fragments" tell everyone that in fact, everyone is the same, and there is no hard-to-follow capital, but they live in different times and have different ways of cultivation; , is his language.Seeing tricks and dismantling tricks has his own unique language, which exists in his articles and also in his life.The language of many writers is trained or imitated, but his is not.His is his own, the so-called words come from the heart.

In short, this person who often searches for DVDs on the street alone, this person who often invites friends to play cards and drink, this person who often stays up late and works overtime, he has the same emotions as everyone else, sometimes noble and sometimes caressing.But he has a heart, he puts the pieces together for us, and we see ourselves in them.Looking at his sunshine, we will feel that we are also very sunny. Liu Hua: Express Yourself Freely When I saw page 40, I folded a corner of this book heavily. This corner was folded larger than some previous corners, which represented that I was cut deeper by the blade of certain words on this page.Then I continued to read all the way, letting the blood drip from the wound, until the blood was dry and my whole body was refreshed, then I could take a breath and start everything again.

Reading the confession of a peer is like flipping through your own diary—not the kind that you give to your Chinese teacher when you are in school, but the kind of past events that you think you have engraved in your heart but actually haven’t written a single word, those youthful years . Who said that the years have no trace, our hearts have already been engraved with annual rings, but they have not been cut open, and we just can’t see it. Now the knife is here, and the light of the knife is scattered when we see the tricks. This page 40 is folded It is extra large because this piece is about fighting, and it is the bloodiest piece in this book. Needless to say, the heroic and invincible past, the blade that cut me was those less glorious words, such as my own fear , such as self-awakening.

Seeing the tricks, Zixing is a bit self-abuse, but after the self-abuse, he has the ease of breaking out of the cocoon, so he recalls the past even more sharply and teases his life. The heavy past is cut into pieces by the sharp blade of his memories, and each piece is twisted. You can dance lightly at your fingertips, but the edges are still sharp, and you can still cut through the heart and let us see the growth rings. This is a book about youth, a book that can be disassembled after seeing the tricks. It is difficult to change the memories you already have, but few people face the truth. Sometimes they dare not, sometimes they disdain, but after seeing In Zhaochaizhao's writing, everything is reproduced in reality. The truth needs courage. After excluding commercial activities such as hype and show, the book reveals a kind of fearless essence. What we see is a frankly open-ended tricks of the past in the sun. Those passages let I was stunned, for example, he wantonly recalled that he lost his faith by an English teacher who didn't count, for example, he recalled forging signatures on Wang Li's "Ancient Chinese", for example, he recalled cheating in exams, for example, he recalled stealing books── ─We've done it all, but we don't have the courage to say it. During the reading process, I kept asking myself, what else would he write on the next page, and what else would he not dare to write?Watching porn, buying pirated discs, playing mahjong and gambling, and even picking up girls, these things are all recorded with relish. A bullet hit my chest, and a voice echoed in my mind. I covered my scroll and sighed, and understood why I enjoyed watching it so much, because throughout the whole article, he yelled out two words that no one dared to yell: truth and freedom. , I have the right to express my truth freely. Wang Xiaofeng: Adult Humor Zhang Lixian was nicknamed "Lao Six", and people younger than him called him Sixth Brother. He was more satisfied when he heard it than calling him "Big Brother". He gave himself another name on the Internet: see tricks and split tricks.It looks like a martial arts name, but in reality, he looks like a contractor when he sees his tricks. Only when he sits at the wine table can he feel his heroism reflected by alcohol, so there is a word often hung in On his mouth: the wind of wine is mighty.In the criss-crossing of hu chips, Fang Xian saw the true nature of tricks and tricks.also That is, when you read his words, you can feel the heroic spirit of that man. Lao Liu set up a forum on the Internet, called the dinner bureau notice, and he posted it on this forum one by one, and I also read these "fragments" one by one.Today, Lao Liu strings up these fragments and makes a book.As a publisher, he has published many books on making wedding dresses for others, and now he finally has official prints himself. It is really a kind of enjoyment to read Lao Liu's writings. It is an ordinary thing that can be brilliantly written by him, and it is not boring to read.I think all the writers are similar to actors, they are basically showing off, but the sixth one’s showing off is just right, you clearly know that he is showing off, but you still read it with interest, and you can even laugh out loud in the end, this is charm.Collections are a product of this ostentation. On the girdle of this book, there is such a sentence engraved: "Get out of the way, let me sing about the 1980s." According to my understanding, this sentence that Lao Liu is quite proud of probably contains several meanings: When Lao Liu When Liu tells the story of himself as an ordinary person to those Xiaoliu or Xiaoxiaoliu, he will have an indescribable sense of pride, because those young people have no chance to experience Laoliu's life experience at all.I am about the same age as Lao Liu, and we probably have experienced the unique products of China in that era, just like when we were young and felt the "Cultural Revolution vocabulary" that was full of people in the 1950s. Just like the tribute to him, when Lao Liu sells his memory fragments to those computer children, he will definitely get some applause.But the key lies in "getting out of the way". In Lao Liu's works, his 1980s is cut off by those flashy, vulgar, and commercialized materials.In an era when human nature is gradually alienated by business, a person of the age of Lao Liu cannot inherit his 1980s in a continuous way, so he has to shout: "Get out of the way!" Come on, sing eight Tens, tell the news to the future. As a contemporary of Lao Liu, when I read these fragments of his, besides being amused by his words from time to time, I actually see a kind of embarrassment of our generation today.It would be fine if we were only behind the 1980s, but we all seem to be unwilling and want to share our fate with the times, but we are always disturbed by those fragments of memory.If you are a person who walked through the 1980s with your youth, when you finish reading this book, will those romantic memories that are always blown away by the rain and wind make you feel a little sad?Nostalgia is popular now, and singers' concerts will have no box office if they don't use the guise of nostalgia.In fact, nostalgia is the best excuse to feel confused about the future and find a psychological balance, so Lao Liu found a perfect excuse for us. But if you think this is a heavy book, then you are overestimating Lao Liu.In fact, this is a very entertaining book.Playing mahjong, watching porn, fighting, reading, picking up girls... These are probably compulsory courses for a man's growth process. A person's experience is not only determined by how many books he has read, but also by how many things he has done, especially bad things.When describing these life themes, Lao Liu speaks with a nose and eyes like a storyteller or a script writer. I appreciate Lao Liu's sense of humor. In my opinion, his "Get out of the way, let me sing about the 80s" is because his sense of humor has been lost in this era.Whether a person is frivolous, you just need to see if he knows humor.It's popular to be funny now, but now people can only be funny and not humorous.Therefore, I regard Lao Liu's humor as adult humor. A Lao Liu who has experienced the storms of the 1980s and seen a rainbow uses his unique humorous style to create various comic effects in his books.If the sixth child writes the script, at least the "Wang Shuo style" humor can be eliminated in the dialogue. Lao Liu likes to make fun of himself and his friends, and every time he makes fun of these two things, his humor cells are like nuclear fission, flooding everywhere.Lao Liu's humorous style is different from the humor of the literati in the past, and also different from the funny humor of the present. He is a person who is very good at using words, blending the ancient and the modern, with his serious side and his very unscrupulous side. Combining words that don't seem to be suitable together, and some allusions at your fingertips, the humor will come to life on the paper.Sometimes I wonder if the humorous way of Lao Liu will become a grass on the Kunlun Mountains when the sense of humor of Chinese people is becoming more and more vulgar.When "adult humor" is everywhere from mobile phones to the Internet, should we rename the old six's humor as "adult cultural humor"? Whether it is nostalgic or humorous, in fact, what is revealed between the lines is the feelings of a literati, summarizing a period of his life that is not vigorous from an angle that people don't pay much attention to. Zhang Jun: Although boring, but still interesting Take it, show it off to a few classmates you haven't seen for a long time, and say things like "my friend sees the trick", the friend's face is my face. And my classmates didn't seem to buy it, saying that your literati friends are really boring, and you have so much time to write such a free book.But after my vigorous advocacy, they reluctantly bought the book.A day later, I got a call from them, to the effect that, while boring, it was interesting. It's boring, but entertaining, and that's about the best thing I've heard about this book so far.They are all people who have come from that era, and they have all done the deeds written in the book.Mahjong, porn, picking up girls, fighting and even reading books are all boring things, and discovering less boring fun from these boring activities, let the subtleties and excitement in these activities come to life on the paper, let Liuba After reading it, the veteran comrades who read it gave a knowing smile, which should be said to be the merit of this book. When we step aside together and let the tricks jump out to sing the 1980s, we have actually lived in a new era that is very different from 20 years ago for many years.Some people get rich, some people get lucky, some people are covered with crowns, while others are alone and haggard, and some people live far away with loud voices. It is not because of the autumn wind that the boring time of the 1980s has become what we are today. The end of the same life trajectory of a group of people.In the 1980s, it was more like the pot of tomato and egg soup in the student cafeteria. People scooped out different things from it, some were tomatoes, some were eggs, and some people only had soup in their spoons. Whether it's a "rough room" in the cyberspace or a "refined decoration" with a smell of books, it's like he burps after a certain meal, making us vaguely smell the aroma of tomato and egg soup back then .When the out-of-tune singing voice and the ravings flying with vomit echoed in the karaoke hall or toilet in the middle of the night, expressing our boring Nth version, we suddenly discovered that we didn’t even put salt in our soup today.
