Chapter 95 Traces of time that can't be erased with an eraser

Traces of time that can't be erased with an eraser Feng Tang Generally speaking, compared with southern newspapers and magazines with mixed peanut trees and flocks of warblers flying around, Beijing newspapers and magazines are too Tiananmen Square, too Chang'an Street, too Chinese History Museum, and the Great Hall of the People.People who run newspapers and magazines in Beijing can be roughly divided into two categories, those who are really mentally retarded and those who pretend to be mentally retarded.But the things that are done are surprisingly unified and consistent: the sky is always blue, the girls are always strong, the night does not exist, and there are very few villains with small black beards and two words written on their foreheads. Big black characters in clerical script: "bad guy". The situation in the motherland seems to have taken hundreds of tons of aphrodisiac drugs.

So I have always liked "Sanlian Life Weekly".The layout is cool and quiet, the writing is smooth, the information is annoying but not poor, the reading is miscellaneous but not chaotic, the topic selection is always hot, and the speech is often rubbish but can always avoid landmines.Copper plate color printing, and the length is also appropriate. When it is convenient, you can find toilet paper after flipping through half of the book. Before going to bed, you will feel sleepy after flipping through a book.Especially when Sanlian's "Dushu" magazine became more and more like an academic newsletter for second-rate, down-and-out liberal arts scholars, especially when it was first published, "Sanlian Life Weekly" was so good that it was hardly like a magazine published in Beijing. It has defended Beijing's status as a cultural center and increased our spiritual weapons against Shanghainese and Cantonese.

When I was shopping in a bookstore, I saw a small book with a yellow cover, "If you have an idea, you can't do it."Edited by Yang Kui, published by the Writer’s Club, and written by Puding, it is a collection of most of the small articles that the current deputy editor-in-chief of "Sanlian Life Weekly" Miao Wei (pen name Pudding) has published on the "Life Round Table" section by taking advantage of his work. "Sanlian Life Weekly" relies on the "Life Round Table" section to add some condiments, a little salty, a little sweet, a little spicy, a little humanistic, and a little smart.Aiwujiwu, without even thinking about it, bought it and took it home.One weekend, it was windy and rainy outside the house, I didn’t hang up on the Internet, I didn’t go to my parents’ house or my wife’s parents’ house, I turned off my mobile phone, and all the dinners and cards were far away from me.With a big bucket of Coke, I read the words of Pudding carefully, and the context gradually emerged. The feeling was different from when I was in convenience. It was not a bit of feeling and emotion, but dripping into rain, covering the sky.Think of the past, think of the past when the upper house smashed the glass of others, think of the past when the girl at the same table was too hot to wear a bra in summer, and think of the traces of time that cannot be erased by an eraser.Some are vulgar, some are obscene, and it is rare to find a person whose perspective and taste are so similar to our own. We all believe that "making fun of boredom, being vulgar, this is closer to the essence of life".It's a pity that I didn't know this writer called Pudding very early, otherwise the middle school and the university could publish the blackboard newspaper together, and the university could publish the school magazine together.

The person named Puding also noticed that Gu Long liked to use the word "carcass": "I read Gu Long's novels in the early years. Gu Long always used the word 'carcass' and always liked to describe women's legs. Sometimes I felt that he The heroine in this article only has two legs, and in my opinion at the time, there are always some parts of a woman’s body that are more worthy of description than the legs.” At that time, I also looked up the "Modern Chinese Dictionary", which clearly stated: The body is the body. Body.I still insist that the carcass is a thousand times more obscene than the body, that the carcass is a literary term, and the body is a scientific term.At that time, I was full of curiosity, always wanting to know the difference between things, such as the difference between my body and the body of my deskmate.I also looked up the "Xinhua Dictionary" specifically, there is no male body, no female body, no boy body, no girl body, only a diagram of the human body, which draws a man with five big and three thick, one positive and one reverse, worn A full head trousers, wrapped tightly.

This Pudding guy also loves crime movies, has noticed Robert De Niro, and admires Once Upon a Time in America.As the psychologist quoted by Pudding said: "In the hearts of many adults, crime is a thing of beauty, because it means rebelling against authority, disrupting order, and breaking free. This kind of behavior at the price of freedom is full of freedom. The aesthetic feeling." "Once Upon a Time in America" ​​is a classic among the classics in my mind, I don't know how much more concise and clear it is.The world seems to be like this forever, a few brothers who hang out together, a girl who is all over the country, a bank full of cash, and a complicated relationship full of betrayal and confession.

There are many other similarities. For example, he also remembered that a long time ago, going to a classmate's house with a video recorder to watch the video was like a hooligan party.For example, he also noticed that the earliest people who worked in the joint venture hotel often stole back some small bottles of foreign wine and shampoo, which were the objects of everyone's envy.For example, he also understands that Gu Long is an alcoholic and lustful person, and his writing is full of regrets, but it is still powerful because of this. Because of this primitive power, Gu Long's articles are still read with excitement a hundred years later.Etc., etc.

Because I never analyze the techniques of my own works, I am also unwilling to analyze a person whose perspective and taste are so similar to my own.The shortcomings are still obvious: too soft, too thin, too small, and there is not much above and below the life.But this is not a big deal. The problem now is that there are too many writers and too few writers with temperament and inspiration. Close the book, the wind and rain outside the house.I feel old in an instant, and I start to check the traces of time that cannot be erased by an eraser.The most frequently scolded sentence in the past was: Your uncle's.Even when I broke up with the girl I fell in love with, I recited these four-character mantras in my heart while riding a bicycle.Calculating with my fingers, in a few days, I will be the real uncle of some children, and I will not gain any advantage if I call "your uncle's".
