2000/04/14 Sanlian Life Weekly Author: Zhao Xiaoshuai When I was young, I always liked to write down the "famous quotes" I heard or saw in a small notebook, such as what Russell said and what Lincoln said. There is no purpose in doing so.Later, a Chinese teacher taught us how to write, and he said: "The number of words is not enough, let's make up famous quotes." I suddenly realized that I didn't have to worry about not enough words in my composition.Now, I have forgotten what famous quotes I have recorded or quoted in my composition, but it is the teacher's sentence "the number of words is not enough, so I have to make up famous quotes" and I have never forgotten it.

There are also some famous sayings that my dad taught me. When I was a child, I always sweated while eating. My dad said: "Eating and sweating will make you work for nothing." Be extra careful when you are alone, and stop first.Another problem I have is that I have to go to the toilet after eating.My dad said again: "The country people don't save money, and shit comes after eating." When he said this, I was afraid that I would not be able to save money like a country boy, so I didn't dare to save money immediately after eating. Go to the toilet.Over the years, I finally got into the habit of defecating on an empty stomach in the morning.

When I was in college, I always went to a small restaurant near the school to eat. The owner there was called "San Ge".Once, I asked for a bowl of hot and sour soup, but I only drank a third of it. When I asked for the bill, the "third brother" quit. He said you have to drink the whole bowl of soup, and I said I can't drink it." "Third Brother" said that you have to drink too, and don't leave any leftovers.I drank that bowl of spicy soup under his persecution, and the "third brother" taught me another famous saying next to him. He said: "Money is hard to earn, and shit is hard to eat." Don't waste food, don't waste money, I finished drinking Soup, my stomach is very bloated, but I remember the saying "money is hard to earn, shit is hard to eat", and when I think of this famous saying, I can recall the feeling of drinking that big bowl of hot and sour.

Later, I also learned some famous sayings, such as "Don't take corn buns as food", etc. These things are far more impressive than the famous sayings I wrote down in my notebook back then. Of course, the quotes I learned weren't always so crude.Once I told a friend that life is not easy and life is painful. He said, "Pain is good! Pain makes people think, thinking makes people rational, and reason makes people live longer." I asked him where this sentence came from, He told me it was from "Uncle Martin". From real life, from TV dramas and novels, I can't remember the famous quotes I learned, and it's hard to say anything else.For example, I once read it, and I wanted to see what Confucius was thinking and fearing. I forgot it after reading it. I feel that "money is hard to earn, shit is hard to eat" and so on.
