what those boys taught me 蔡康永 625Words 2018-03-18
Boy No. 5, strange, met on the stage of ancient Beijing opera. During the boy's voice change, he couldn't sing clearly anymore, so he changed to play some martial arts-oriented roles.I acted as a general from the Central Plains, and he acted as a general from a foreign country.Both of them had four flags on their backs, tassels hung from my cheeks, and a long string of fur balls hung from his cheeks. I held a silver gun, and he held a pair of copper hammers. We are amateur actors, and we didn't learn martial arts from elementary school. We fight clumsily on stage, with flags hooked to helmets, ribbons wrapped around weapons, and such things.

It was really performed. The gongs and drums in the martial arts scenes of Peking Opera were very loud, and each shot was like a bomb exploding in the ear.The two sides met on the battlefield, and the two of us shook our feathers and combed our armor according to the rules, showing off our armed equipment to each other. The sound of gongs and drums became intense. After the two sides shouted to each other, the fight officially started. The fight was still clumsy. My silver spear pierced through, and he crossed the copper hammer to hold the gun.Next, the speed of sparring must be increased, and the rotation must be continued, so that all the floating things in the body will bloom like the whiskers of jellyfish.

The faster I moved, the more flustered I became. I swung the gun at him as I did in rehearsal, but it was too hard, and the copper hammer in his left hand fell to the ground.He froze for two seconds. The audience laughed, although it was a considerate smile, it was still very embarrassing. Backstage, I apologized to him. "It doesn't matter, anyway, the audience come to see us, it's also for fun." He said. "Don't you think it's stupid to play this Beijing opera?" I asked. "Stupid? It's okay." He picked up the copper hammer and tossed it for fun. He said, "When I was ten years old, I saw you perform Peking Opera. At that time, I thought, one day I want to Come on stage and play with you."

After he finished speaking, he held the copper hammer, crossed his hands, put on a posture, and smiled with his mouth wide open. I also laughed, put the silver gun on my shoulder, and looked at him with a smile. Two generals in full armor and splendid armor stood in the background, smiling and looking at each other
