GQ Simplified Chinese September 2029: Hi. This year, 2011, I am forty years old.My sister said that I have loved women for half my life. She went to a used bookstore near the University of California, Berkeley, and found a perfect birthday present for me: an old magazine, the 20th anniversary issue of Playboy, published in January 1974, Printed in color, 294 pages.In September 2029, if the Chinese version of GQ is still published, it will also commemorate the 20th anniversary, and you will be able to read this letter. In 1974, Japan was defeated and World War II ended for nearly 30 years. China passed 8 years after 1966. China is still two years away from 1976, and the world is 1981 away from the first A personal computer was seven years away.That year, I was in Beijing, and I was three years old. At that time, my penis didn’t develop much. My memory of that time has basically disappeared. I only remember that it was very hot in the summer. Under the tree to enjoy the shade, an aunt, probably a few hundred years old, is as bare-chested as a man, with her right hand holding up her sagging breasts, while her left hand shakes a cattail fan to drive sweat away from the red hot skin under her breasts.

This Playboy 20th anniversary commemorative issue in 1974, on the cover is a pink woman's hand on a black background, reaching for Mr. Rabbit's white bow tie.

The power of electronics is terrifying. Under the pressure, Playboy almost died once, and the current subscription volume is less than half of what it was in its heyday four decades ago. "The truth is people who want porn don't come to us, it's been a long time, we're more like the New York Review of Books than a bankrupt Penthouse," said Kaminsky, Playboy's new president. "In 2008, before the iPad was released, I didn't believe that e-books could provide a good enough reading experience, so I sold the electronic copyright of the new novel for ten years.In 2010, I read McEwan's first collection of short stories on the iPAD in some spare time on the plane, and I felt a chill in my heart that the paper media would be doomed.E-books can already provide 60 to 70% of the reading experience of paper books, and can look up new words at any time. They are also cheap and super portable.In another twenty years, for the same content, electronic media will definitely surpass paper media, and the sales ratio may reach eight to two.Print media won't die, but it will become expensive.

In 2029, I believe I will see you again.I hope to see that you can have the current eating, drinking, entertainment, clothing, food, housing, transportation, murder pornography, fetish and beauty of appearance, simple and beautiful design, natural and beautiful girls, and some remote, small and quiet things. The voice in life outside of time is like a tree, in addition to leaves, fruits and flowers, there are also underground roots, aboveground stems, and seeds left after the fruit rots. Not one by one.
