2000/05/10 Sanlian Life Weekly Author: Xu Zhiyuan When I was a child, I read Li Bai's poem: "Lang rides a bamboo horse, and grows green plums around the bed..." I always feel that there should be a delicate and lovely girl who has been by my side since childhood, playing games together, and being a father and mother growing up together, arguing with each other, and then the two of them started to fall in love, have a little interest in each other, and should smile shyly when they meet...everything is full of drama and allure. Unfortunately, all this is my wishful thinking.I live in a building, and there are no beautiful flowers or bamboo horses around me. I just ride a children's tricycle. These props have no romantic meaning.What's worse is that my turnaround neighbors are all stupid boys with shaved heads like me.

Taiwanese singer Zhou Zhiping's "Childhood Sweetheart" is so romantic that it makes me cranky all day long, always looking forward to a tall, refreshing girl living downstairs, and I can talk to her about school and homework , let's talk about less polite topics.Zhang Chu sang in a song like this: "Think of the neighbor girl, listen to the radio," I listen to the radio, but the neighbor girl doesn't think about it. When I went to college, I thought I should be more mature. I told myself that the stories of my childhood sweethearts were fictional and absolutely rare in reality. However, my classmates told me that most of them had good neighbors and girls. Show uncharacteristic sympathy.

In a blink of an eye, I was already grown up, and I suddenly realized that my childhood sweetheart must be gone. I know that many people's dreams will never be realized in their lifetime.Someone said: If a person is not beautiful at 20, unhealthy at 30, not rich at 40, and not smart at 50, then he will never be beautiful, healthy, rich, or smart all his life.This makes people pessimistic. The sage who said this didn’t say how many years old you can’t see the girl next door, you should give up the idea of ​​childhood sweetheart, but I know that I will never have the opportunity to ride a bamboo horse in my life and watch the little girl play with plum blossoms. .

My infatuation has never been realized, but I still understand a little truth from it.My teenage dreams were completely centered in the category of the neighbor girl, which was damning, not all the strange girls were pretty, but the pretty ones were so strange.I always fantasize that there is a beautiful girl downstairs or upstairs or next door, but I just want to make the opportunity to get close to the opposite sex more logical. The more terrible problem is that my adolescence is too long, and it is easy to show a childish problem at a mature age.I know that people who always count on riding bamboo horses will definitely miss some good girls who don't like plum blossoms but are really good.It's just that I didn't understand this before, and I believe that my puberty was prolonged because I was always thinking about the neighbor girl in my fantasies, and the lack of real girls in reality, which is exactly what adults say to let children The safest way to get through puberty.
