2000/04/14 Sanlian Life Weekly Author: Tian Qi As a child I was a child prodigy.The reason people call me that is because of my quick reflexes.First of all, I am good at math, and my grades are very good in class; what is more famous is that I play 24 games with playing cards, and I always win big.Another one, I'm smart.Clever means being able to understand the spirit of adults and always doing the right things.For example, an aunt asked me to borrow books from her library. I asked what books should I borrow?How about borrowing one (because I saw this book on other aunts' books, maybe it's good)?My aunt patted my head and said, what a smart kid.

So when adults talk about my future, they always say that this kid will become a scientist in the future, otherwise it would be too wronged.I know the trick: It's one thing to get good grades to be appreciated by adults, but a good kid should also know some of the rules of the adults.As a good kid, my childhood was done. I know a scientist is a good thing, but I don't take it for a simple reason: my reactions are getting slower and slower.Just like my current physical strength is a lot worse than that of high school, and my running speed is no longer the same.My life isn't as advanced as it used to be.

Life sucks, I should say.It's that cartoon: "I remember I wore a shirt, I remembered I wore a tie, I remembered I wore socks, I remembered I wore shoes, but what did I forget?" The point is that now I always forget whether I'm wearing pants or not.This embarrassment left me unsure of what was right.I've lost my confidence as a child prodigy.In order to maintain my adult self-esteem, I had to slow myself down to hide my ignorance. How did I become like this?In the blink of an eye, I have forgotten the process of my depravity. "Hooray! I just fucking yelled, and the beard grew." So I shave like hell every day, lest it ruin my pristine face again.
