Chapter 6 Six, Nobita

Brother Liang Sicheng: Seeing a letter is like a face. I live in Hong Kong recently.From the time you were alive until the end of the seventies, the only connection between the mainland and the outside world was through this small island.Money squeezes the island full of houses and people, and also squeezes out the richness of the unit city area that is not available in other places in China. Walking down the hill to the north from Hollywood Road in Hong Kong, there is a small shop opened by a young man, less than ten square meters, selling daily used goods from the 1920s and 1930s to the 1970s and 1980s, 120 cameras, dials Telephones, record players, and radios were purchased from second-tier cities in Europe and the United States, and sold in Hong Kong.Because it is not the art and antiques that Hollywood Road often sells, there are no piles of fake goods that have nothing to do with art on Hollywood Road. The real boy of the dream, the little girl looks like a real little girl with life, so whether it is useful or not, I often buy some odds and ends.

Two weeks ago, I bought an AM/FM radio made by General Electric in the 1970s and brought it back to Beijing. It is the size of two bricks, and the attached electronic watch is not accurate. It is one hour slower a day, and the voltage needs to be converted to the American standard of 100. Ten volts can only be used, but the speaker is good, a speaker as big as a bowl, the FM is tuned, and the sound that fills the room can make people feel scars as big as a bowl. Beijing was very hot in 2009. Summer tigers, autumn tigresses, and after the beginning of autumn, the sun still killed many old men and women who were much younger than you.It's also uncomfortable to turn on the air conditioner.I slept in an air-conditioned room for a night, and when I woke up, the pores of my body were tightened, as if I had been tortured.The only comfortable thing is in the evening, in the yard, the sun is setting, the moon is rising, the heat has receded a bit, the mosquitoes are not fully excited, the whole body is surrounded by a cool breeze, plugged in the old General Electric radio, and the horn is broadcasting Old song: "A thunderbolt shakes the universe (the girl sings in the background: shakes the universe)! Down with the local tyrants and evil gentry!"

When your group of people haunted Beijing, many things with a long history were knocked down in this way, including gentlemen. In the past 30 years, some people who were knocked down have quickly recovered and are more prosperous than you were at that time, such as prostitutes, casinos, gangs, local tyrants who bought land for 250 yuan per square meter and sold 21,000 square meters of commercial housing. After 1990, business philosophy emphasized synergies and capital operations. In order to create economies of scale, this kind of people who were knocked down were all bullshit when they turned around again. There were more prostitutes than barbershops, and more casinos than hotels. There are more gangs than schools, and more local tyrants than streets.

There are also some who were knocked down and slowly recovered, but they were basically fired until they only smelled like money.Some pigs started to be raised in the mountains again, but when they grew up, their eyes looked a little like wild boars, and they dared to sell 200 grams of pork for 500 yuan.Some teas have become popular. The Pu-erh tea seven-zi cake you produced at that time could easily sell for tens of thousands. Gu Jingzhou’s clay pot, if the inheritance is clear, could easily sell for two to three hundred thousand.Some people began to collect antiques, and the things stolen by the Eight-Power Allied Forces slowly returned by plane, and they robbed the Chinese money again. The price of a Tang Dynasty guqin was enough to buy a county in the Tang Dynasty.

There are also some who were knocked down, their hamstrings were severed, and they basically never woke up again.For example, you wanted to keep the Beijing city wall and archway.Today’s Beijing is a great mash-up, with the eastern city resembling the Republic of China, the western city resembling the Soviet Union, Xuanwu resembling North Korea, Chongwen resembling Hong Kong and the New Territories, and Chaoyang resembling the dark side of Mars.Such as Chinese.Today's Chinese writers are mostly good at beautification, driving, singing, acting, public speaking, vertical and horizontal debates, and the ambiguous relationship with entertainment is far greater than the intimate relationship with words.Ten generations.Those who understand the beauty of "Historical Records", "Tang Poems", and "Five Lanterns Huiyuan" will not exceed ten people in a generation, and those who are capable of creating similar characters will not exceed two or three people in ten generations.Such as the master.Yu Qiuyu, Zhang Yimou, and Ji Xianlin are all recognized by the government and the masses as masters.Such as celebrities.Spend tens of millions to buy an Italian sports car and drive it in Beijing, and spend tens of millions to buy a pig-killing painting by a contemporary Chinese artist, and you will be recognized by the media and the public as a celebrity.Such as talented women.If these talented women on the street are called talented women, then Li Qingzhao, Zhang Ailing, or your wife reincarnated, you and I need to create a Chinese term for them.

The same thing applies to gentlemen. First of all, there is no "shi".In the past two decades, an Internet has appeared, and it knows everything in the world.The internet has search engines, and when you type a word, the terms most familiar to people today pop up first.Type "士", and the first ones that pop up are Disneyland, Morgan Stanley, and Dulux paint. "Scholars can't be resolute, and the responsibilities are heavy and the road is long." Such words are three thousand and twenty thousand miles away.Daqi, who does not compete for short-term fame and fortune, is persistent, not afraid of temporary gains and losses, has a mission, and can be used for a long-term mission. Measured by this standard, how many "scholars" are there in a big city with a population of tens of millions?At that time, you were willing to exchange a leg for the preservation of a Beijing city gate.Now, real estate moguls are willing to turn their front door into a Stanford shopping street for the sake of their annual financial statements.

Secondly, there is a lack of "gentry".A gentleman needs to have a certain economic foundation, but "gentleman" is not completely related to money. "Gentleman" includes softness, concession, modesty, and responsibility.The Ming Dynasty was a dynasty that lacked enough respect for talent and quality, especially in the later period.The Wang Po in the late Ming Dynasty summed up the standard of the best man, five words: Pan, donkey, Deng, Xiao, Xian.She looks like Pan An, is as strong as a donkey, and is richer than Deng Tong. She is low-key and small, so she can spend time with you.The "small" in it is, in a sense, close to the "gentleman" of a gentleman.Taken together, a gentleman is a powerful spiritual universe, covered with a secular shell that is sophisticated, calm and transparent.

This is an era when our public security officers catch bad guys according to the wealth list. This is an era when our country’s enterprises dared to produce 60-year-old Erguotou after 30 years of establishment. Let me imagine your Beijing city wall from the Ming City Wall Ruins Park. Good, let me imagine the origin of the new Chinese gentleman from Andy Lau and Zeng Fanzhi. We have plenty of hope.I wish my brother Qiu An from afar. Feng Tang
