2000/04/12 Sanlian Life Weekly Author: Zhao Xiaoshuai I loved reading when I was young. I finished reading novels such as "Lin Haixueyuan", "Red Rock", "Tongbai Heroes" when I was in elementary school.My parents, both educators, appreciated my ability to read.But this situation changed when I read and read.During a vacation after middle school, I would lie in the house and read it every afternoon, which annoyed my father. He always advised me to go out to play football or engage in other vulgar activities, just not to read.My mother explained to me that she was not in a good mood with novels like "Family Spring and Autumn", and she was afraid that I would be depressed after reading it. The word "sluggishness" was ugly at the time, and it used to mean that students were cranky and often masturbated.

One night, I went to a nearby theater to watch a Beijing opera called "Hongbiyuan". The steel wire made the actors fly around. After questioning by my father, I realized that there seems to be love in this play. In the second year of junior high school, some students in the class began to read some American novels. There was a guy who was very "sluggish". We found a Malamud novel in his schoolbag, and some pages were folded by him. Corner, those page numbers had "pornographic descriptions" in them, and I thought what this guy was doing was kind of mean.At that time, I always liked to look for novels in other people's schoolbags, because the books in the school library and the bookstores on the street were too boring, and the social environment was very pure in those days, and there was no romance or martial arts.I kept digging through other people's schoolbags, and found a book about puberty hygiene from a girl's schoolbag. The girl was very angry with me when she found out, saying that I was a hooligan, which made me very confused.A few years later, I didn't know how "menarche" was going on, and why in physical education class, our boys always run in circles like grandchildren, but there are often a few girls who don't need to run in circles --- we all thought It is the teacher who is "lustful" and takes care of them.

Anyway, I went through a long game of hide-and-seek during my adolescence, where my parents and teachers kept things hidden, and I always found some clues and pieced together a whole body of knowledge in my head.Later, I loved reading Lu Xun and read his complete works, which reassured my parents and teachers.I even read Lu Xun’s diary, and in Lu Xun’s diary, a word "washing feet" would appear every few days. I looked it up in the dictionary and found out that it meant "washing feet". It's amazing to remember to wash your feet and to use such an elegant word. A few years later, when I was in college, I read a collection of essays by the scholar Li Qingxi, in which there was an article about Lu Xun's diary, and "Zhuzu" was mentioned.He said that this may not be washing feet, but a lingo for making love, and making love has more reasons to write in the diary than washing feet.He also said that Lu Xun also "washed his feet" two days before his death, which is unlikely because he was in poor health.It seems that the problem of "washing feet" should be analyzed and demonstrated by Lu Xun experts.

My father would not be able to grasp the research method of scholar Li, otherwise he would think that there are no books that I should read when I was young.
