When I came back to Shanghai a year ago, my first impression of the long-lost Shanghainese was white and fat.In Hong Kong, nine out of ten Cantonese are dark and thin, Indians are even darker, and Malays are even thinner.I'm used to seeing them, and the Shanghainese look fat and white like gourds, like advertisements for milk substitutes. The second impression is the "pass" of Shanghainese.Hong Kong's popular literature can be represented by the popular bus stop sign "If you want to stop, you can stop here".Not so in Shanghai.When I first arrived in Shanghai, I often exclaimed in my heart: "Shanghai people after all!" I went to buy soap, and heard a young apprentice explain to his companion: "Here, it is the 'Xun' of 'Zhang Xun', the 'gongxun'. 'Xun', not the 'Xun' of "Xunfeng". ""News" published an advertisement for the opening of a department store, using the Yanghu style of parallel prose to write realistic and moving words. Regarding the danger of improper gift selection, the conclusion is: "Friendship depends on it, it's not a big deal!" "It seems to be ironic, but it is completely true and not exaggerated.

The "communication" of Shanghainese is not limited to clear and smooth literature and sophistication.Everywhere we can find true spiritual texts.There was a doggerel in the tabloids last year. I have forgotten who the author was, but I will never forget that poem.The two actresses invited the author to dinner, so he wrote a poem: "Compared to the two cards in front of the bottle, Zhang Nv Yungu is as good as Yungu. With a full belly, he praised: It's hard to find any shoes!" What a lovely, twists and turns self-mockery!There is helplessness, tolerance and laissez-faire in it—the laissez-faire produced by fatigue, looks down on others, and doesn't think much of oneself, but still retains a sense of intimacy with others and already.There is a couplet that expresses that attitude more clearly. I saw it on the tram. I scratched the words on the black paint of the window with my nails: "Parents are right, men and women have equal rights." It has always been "the public says the public is right, The mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law is reasonable", let them go!Each has its own reasons. "Equality between men and women", after all these years, equality is equality! —Another let-off born of fatigue.That greasy smile is characteristic of standard Chinese humor.

Shanghainese are traditional Chinese people, tempered by the high-pressure life of modern times, and the exchange of various deformed products of old and new cultures. The result may not be very healthy, but there is a strange wisdom here. Everyone says Shanghai people are bad, but they are bad enough.Shanghainese will flatter, follow others, and fish in troubled waters. However, because they have the art of dealing with the world, they can't act too much.Regarding "badness", I don't know anything else, except that all novels are inseparable from villains.Good people love stories about bad people, but bad people don't like stories about good people.Therefore, none of the protagonists in the stories I write are "perfect".There is only one girl who can be said to be ideal, kind, compassionate, and upright, but if she is not beautiful, I am afraid that she is a little annoying.As beautiful as she is, perhaps the readers will tell her: "Go back to the fairy tale!" In "Snow White" and "The Glass Slipper", she has her place.Shanghainese are not so childish.I wrote a Hong Kong legend for Shanghainese, including "Clay Incense Crumbs", "One Incense Incense", "Second Incense Incense", "Glazed Tiles", seven articles.When I wrote it, I thought of Shanghainese all the time, because I tried to view Hong Kong from the perspective of Shanghainese.Only Shanghainese can understand the inadequacy of my writing.

I like Shanghainese, and I hope Shanghainese like my book.
