Chapter 1 About Beijing

beijing girl 石康 13502Words 2018-03-18
It's time to talk about the fact that I've always liked girls from Beijing. Where do I start? Let's talk about looks first. To be honest, girls from Beijing who are newcomers are definitely inferior to those from Northeast China and Jiangnan.Generally, they have big heads with different shapes, the hair is a bit hard, but it is not too hard to look good, and the skin is darker. If you say it is delicate, it is ironic.When they were thin, it was difficult to find their waists even with their hands. When they became fat, they were comparable to European aunts. Not only were their hip bones wide, but they often protruded from the sides rashly.The breasts are out of the question. They finally became symmetrical, but they often lean to the sides, or simply squeeze in the middle. You can’t say that someone’s breasts are not good. That’s right for you. Three words- - teasing you.

What about the advantages? Let me just talk about it, that is, the legs are not too short, the stature is not too short, they look a little decent at first glance, and they don't act like men. If you insist on looking for advantages from their appearance. You can say, why do Beijing girls attract me because of their looks? Let me tell you, it’s because of their witty mouths, and of course, their personalities. Beijing girls are good at being pleasing to the eye, and this kind of goodness is definitely not reflected in what they can say, such as inspirational words, gentle words, etc.Generally speaking, it is difficult for you to hear compliments from girls in Beijing, and it is more of a frustrating blow, which is so accurate, so rooted, and so vivid that you have to say it from the bottom of your heart. Deeply felt that they were right.More importantly, it still uses the method of making people laugh when they hear it. Of course, it is to laugh at themselves with others.Foreigners call this kind of swearing, and Beijingers call it intimacy. Once you get used to this charming way of speaking, no matter what a foreign girl says to you, you will think it is prudish, boring, and uneducated. , boring, vulgar, exaggerated, or, yes, empty.

To give a few small examples, there is a newly rising Beijing female writer named Zhao Zhao, whose appearance is basically consistent with the one mentioned at the beginning of this article.At a gathering of writers, once, she took the boyfriend she had just picked out from the bar, touched his head repeatedly with her hand, observed carefully and observed again, for fear that she would find the wrong one again, and then suddenly cried out in surprise With a voice: "Hey, look at you, how happy you are to meet me, and find a beautiful woman as soon as you look for it, tell me, why am I not as lucky as you?"

Zhao Zhao also has a girlfriend named San Leer. When she was in middle school, she would block the door of the classroom and argue with the teacher. The teacher advised her not to wear makeup as a female middle school student. The teacher reasoned: "Hey, teacher, look, just my face, can I see it without makeup?" The teacher was so convinced by her. A few days ago, I met a girl from Beijing who told me about her current boyfriend. She said this: "Look at him, I'm so excited that I don't want to use his bed. I went to the gym to practice karate. After practicing, it was really good. I just tried to use my slender leg to gesture against his short leg last night. Rape, do you think this person is immoral?"

Don't look at the fierceness of Beijing girls who use Beijing dialect to kill people, but the quality in real life is quite noble.I have lived a long life, and I have found a bunch of girlfriends in Beijing. I rarely heard anyone say "I love you" to me, but no one asked me for a penny, and never Don't ask for a drive, even though she's too poor to afford a taxi.They will definitely arrive at the appointment place at the agreed time, and leave happily after being intimate. Treat them to a good meal when they are rich, and they always gobble it up and say yes repeatedly.When I was poor, I took them to small restaurants, and they said, "It stinks, it stinks" and sweated profusely while eating.If you are happy to participate in gambling, you may yell and curse if you lose, but you will definitely not look for your boyfriend's wallet everywhere.Before going to the store together, she will tell you her shopping tips for two people over and over again: "Remember, I will never buy you clothes for more than 100 yuan, but if you buy me clothes for less than 1000 yuan , I’m in a hurry with you!” But as soon as she enters the store, if she sees a piece of clothing that suits you, she will often buy it for you without asking the price. If you want to buy something for her, then You have to wait until the discount period comes, or she will say you are stupid and there is something wrong.Beijing girls are a bit arrogant, unreasonable, and like to follow their own feelings, but look at what they do. Generally speaking, no matter how arrogant they are, there is a bit of righteousness. They will not suffer, but they will never Take advantage.Beijing girls also have many good habits. For example, they will not borrow money from you, and they will never rely on you anyway. If they help you, they will never extract any benefits from it. They usually say bad things about their boyfriends to others. , but if you accidentally follow her, then you will be regarded as a fool.Of course, they usually think that the shortcomings of their boyfriends are their own unique discoveries, which are much better than the advantages, and they are all strange.

As soon as I talk about Beijing girls, I can't hold back my words. In fact, I can talk for as long as I want, but due to space constraints, I have to sum up quickly, that is: independence, equality, and crispness. The reason why there is such a saying about Beijing girls is because there is another group of girls in China that has an absolute advantage in number——foreign girls. Therefore, I have to say here my general impression of foreign girls by the way.Remember, it's the so-called good girls from other places. In my opinion, it's okay to call them beauties, or anything, but you can't call them Beijing girls.How to describe them? Needless to say, if you reverse the meaning of every sentence I said above, then generally there will be no mistakes.

I often hear non-local girls say things that don’t satisfy Beijing girls. The usual remarks are that Beijing girls don’t know how to wear clothes. It looks like it was snatched, and cheap clothes look like they were sent by someone else.But it is through this point that you can see how straightforward the Beijing girls are. They are not good at deceiving and covering up. This is honesty.In addition, you can also see that Beijing girls don't care much about what others think of them. They are confident and self-confident. In short, they have a tendency to treat themselves as human beings. 

Another comment is that Beijing girls lack femininity. This kind of statement is too general to be refuted directly. For example, it can be understood that Beijing girls seem to be not good at bed, but what is the actual situation? We all know that Beijing girls are prostitutes It may be reasonable to say that they are not rich in sexual experience, but it is far-fetched to say that they are not good at sex.The correct way to say it is: If you want to spend money to find Beijing girls to try sex in bed, then it is not easy. There is another saying that girls in Beijing don't understand emotions. I think this is too vague and not accurate enough.I think the following statement is more accurate, that is, girls in Beijing don't know how to take advantage of men through feelings.

In short, generally speaking, I think that when girls from other places pick on the faults of Beijing girls, they will pick on their own faults. Of course, the best way to get to know girls in Beijing is to fall in love with them. Of course, in order to better understand them, you have to talk to girls from other places. What conclusions will you draw from this comparison? Let me talk about my personal experience--my feeling is that when you are in love with girls from other places, when they are good, they always have a way to tell you that you really want to do something for them. If you don't do it, you will feel a little sorry for her.But if you really did something for them when you were swaying, then after breaking up, you will always feel a sense of loss.Of course, the more unlucky feelings include being tricked and cheated. The best feeling is that you think this foreign girl is okay.When falling in love with a girl from Beijing, when it’s good, she always has a way to make you feel that you don’t have to do anything for her. Once you break up, you find that you often think of her. When you think about it, you can’t help but regret that you didn’t do anything for her. .You will doubt whether you were worthy of her before, and when your conscience is still beating, you think about her bit by bit, and deep regret will hit your heart at that time.You'll decide that you must be sorry for her already, I mean, you can only be sorry for her forever, because you won't have a chance to do anything for her anymore.

In my impression, being a handsome guy in Beijing is kind of boring.How to put it, I don't know why, the handsome guy just doesn't please.When I was in junior high school, there was a handsome guy in our class. In terms of appearance, he looked as good as Wu Qilong and Takeshi Kaneshiro. It stands to reason that he should often have the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of many little girls, right? The answer is: no.On the contrary, he often enjoys a lot of bad luck.For example, in the cold winter, as soon as he started class, he would find that his plastic pencil case was missing. When he was looking for it anxiously, a strange smell suddenly rose.I have to confess here that our classrooms did not have modern heating equipment at that time, and we used a stove, and the strange smell came from the stove.As the smell intensified and everyone laughed, he also understood the whereabouts of his pencil case. Needless to say, the pencil case has no legs, so it will not throw itself into the fire.

In fact, Beijing also produces handsome guys, and there are a lot of them. From the perspective of a series of schools I attended, there are generally more handsome guys than beautiful girls.However, handsome guys are useless in Beijing. What is the reason? I think this is due to a unique character in Beijing, which is that they hate putting on airs. People have a feeling of posturing, so they are particularly unpopular.Judging from the well-known male actors produced in Beijing, none of them are handsome, and those who are handsome have died long ago. In other places, if you are handsome, you have the capital to be handsome, but in Beijing, this system is completely abolished. If you play handsome, you are in danger of being ridiculed, and it is not even a danger. You will definitely be attacked by ridicule. Worse still, you will be humiliated.Beijingers have a unique set of words to describe the ridiculousness of handsome guys, such as effeminacy, thick eyebrows, big eyes, handsome faces, and small butchers. . In fact, Beijingers have a different understanding of handsomeness. Being good-looking is not considered good-looking. From the perspective of Beijingers, what is good-looking? It is nothing more than being like a white person, and no matter how handsome you are, you can’t compare to a white person. Therefore, Beijingers don’t go for it. Comparing in that direction, on the contrary, that kind of handsome is useless.So what is handsome? In the eyes of Beijingers, handsome refers to a kind of masculinity, even a kind of brotherly loyalty. This kind of masculinity must contain a certain sense of humor, a kind of tolerance, a kind of simplicity and purity, In addition, you must have a little passion, a little creativity, and be good at flexibility. In short, it is a kind of talent. The handsomeness required by Beijingers is mainly reflected in the spiritual aspect. If it is purely physical, then Beijingers also have a saying to describe it, which is called "earth handsome". Basically, "handsome" is offset, and it even goes to the opposite side of the word "handsome".How do you comment on this matter? Alas, I can only say that Beijingers are really picky! In my impression, Beijing 20 years ago looked like an ancient city, like a dream city, with large areas of gray one-story houses with courtyards interspersed with narrow alleys.People's clothing also matches the architecture, and blue-gray is the main popular color. When the yellow sandstorm comes in spring, Beijing is like a phantom city reflected in the gray clouds. Of course, among the courtyards with gray tiles and gray walls, there are also some public buildings, restaurants, shops, bathhouses, cinemas, etc., in addition to parks that are more open and lively than the Shenzhai compound.However, all architectural styles are Very similar, the most magnificent is the Forbidden City.Regardless of whether it is a private building or a public building, its style or content is undoubtedly the best in architecture.The golden glazed tiles, the scarlet exterior walls, and the flowers, plants, trees, birds, animals, fish and insects all show a kind of dignity like the stars holding the moon.This kind of dignity is not a kind of difference, but a kind of prosperity and luxury that stands out from the simplicity and simplicity.Take a look at the architecture, and you can draw conclusions about what is noble, what is cheap, what is respected, and what is humble. Although the levels are complicated, they are well-ordered. It is difficult to overlap the Beijing in my memory with the present Beijing. The low, gray buildings in large swathes of Beijing are gone, replaced by a variety of shiny high-rise buildings rising from the ground.If you look at a single building, it is difficult to draw any conclusions, but when you observe these high-rise buildings in motion, or a group of buildings composed of high-rise buildings, then you have to sigh that a new era is gradually emerging from the buildings.These buildings are patchwork, with different styles, some are pleasing to the eye, and more seem nondescript. That one is Bauhaus, this one is post-modern, and there is another one that is anti-traditional. This one seems to be done hastily, and that one It seems that a kind of chaotic spirit of freedom and democracy is fully reflected in the architecture, so many rote and swallowed ideas are quickly put on the market, and after so many criticisms and ridicules, they remain the same.I think this is also a kind of confident courage and sense of humor of Beijingers, that is: "I am like this, I think it's okay, I don't care what you think, who I love, it's what it is anyway!" I like the style of Beijing, that is, it is not dark, it does not cover up, everything is on the bright side, revealing a candid energy, and it can quickly integrate the characteristics of an era through any within reach. expressed in a form.This is true even of urban buildings, not to mention others.You may say that this kind of thing is not worth it, and that kind of thing needs time to grind slowly, but Beijingers can’t wait, they can talk when they have something to say, and leave when they have nothing to do. Just throw it away, what a joyful feeling it is.Having said that, if you ask me again, are the buildings in Beijing beautiful? I would say they are not.You said, do the buildings in Beijing have any special features? I said there are no special features.Do you think the buildings in Beijing are very earthy? I said they are quite earthy.Do you think the buildings in Beijing can be built better? I say yes.Why don't you give it a try? I said that as long as Beijingers feel dissatisfied, they will do it immediately.You ask me if I like Beijing's architecture? I said I think it's okay.Are you saying that Beijing’s architecture is good? I can’t say, but it’s very exciting! Does this answer surprise you? When it comes to Beijing's landmark buildings, of course, it can only refer to Tiananmen Square.It is a square with an astonishing area, said to be the largest square in the world, located on the central axis of Beijing, facing the white marble railing of Jinshui Bridge and the vermilion Tiananmen Gate Tower.To the east is the History Museum, to the west is the Great Hall of the People, behind it is the Monument to the People's Heroes, and behind it is the gray Qianmen Archery Tower. The entire square is enclosed by these buildings.No matter how you look at it, this is the most large-scale and magnificent building complex in Beijing. Moreover, the floor is paved with square bricks, without green plants, and it is a flat river. I don’t know what the builders thought at that time.In my opinion, this reflects a simple idea, that is, to use the square only for occasional celebrations, without considering its other uses. Growing up in Beijing, it was hard to avoid Tiananmen Square.I usually drive across Chang'an Avenue by car, and often pass by it, looking at the tourists walking on it.These tourists braved the wind and rain, from morning to night, with strange looks and clothes, some were fashionable and foreign, and some were outrageous.There are as many as several thousand of them, and they come out continuously from all over the place, walk into or out of the square, take pictures or look east and west. In the evening, the breeze is blowing, and walking on the square makes people feel comfortable. In summer, the air is filled with the fragrance mixed with the residual warmth of the sun, which has the full charm of a middle-aged young woman, making people intoxicated; in winter, the cold and dry north wind sweeps across the square. , it was refreshing, and the square looked surprisingly vast against the leaden sky.Sometimes it makes people feel depressing, the hem of the pedestrian's clothes flutters, and they walk in a hurry. Looking around, the vermilion on Tiananmen Square looks so ancient and unbelievable; who will remember the kites flying high above the square in spring, they Controlled by thin threads, driven by kite-flying people, chaotic and full of temptation like hope; not to mention the shining autumn, the high blue sky and the white clouds below, the evening , these white clouds turn into a beautiful sunset that makes people reluctant to leave, guarding the end of the west side of Beijing, and can only be seen when standing on the edge of Chang'an Street. place. Standing on Tiananmen Square, looking at its ancient and vast, it is easy to make people feel that life is like a dream.The day before I wrote this article, I took a new girl I met to see the square, and I felt sad as she walked around.I was far behind her, looking at her slender figure, I couldn't help but remember my youth.At that time, because I was reading Soviet romance novels, I dreamed of going to the square to dance and go to that healthy group dance with many boys and girls of the same age.Later, on a National Day night, my dream finally came true. I danced in the square with my classmates, and saw the sparkling fireworks flying above my head. It was a tightly organized crowd. Unfortunately, it was no longer my dream. .My dream is to dance more loosely, without nervous teachers and iron discipline, but with an idyllic and simple feeling.In the square, in the evening, the self-admired but honest and curious teenagers get acquainted with each other, establish friendship, dance roundabout to the music, and absorb the happiness that only belongs to youth. However, all this is just a fantasy that was almost forgotten. I believe that it will always be a fantasy, and it is rarely even imagined by people.In the square, I thought of my repressed and depressed youth, the stupid middle age gradually occupied by indifference, and looked at my helpless old age from afar, and felt that life was really a funny illusion.Yes, this is my true impression of this square. Let others boast about this square with poetic and picturesque flavors. I just feel that standing here, my enthusiasm that has been repeatedly frustrated is extinguished, and I can only quietly rekindle it occasionally on the bed at night.I think no matter how much I whitewash and defend, I can't say that my life is natural and right, just as it is difficult for me to agree that other people's lives are natural and right. Historically, Beijing was one of the few planned cities.Horizontal and vertical, well-organized, each part of the city has clear functions.Unlike Wuhan and other cities, you feel that it is completely built randomly on top of a small, disorganized village, only on a larger scale.Although people in Beijing have carefully planned their residences in the past dynasties, there are still some unsatisfactory places, and trees are one of them. There are many types of trees in Beijing, and there are even some exotic flowers and plants in the imperial gardens that can only be grown alive after a waste of energy.But there are only two kinds of trees all over the streets and alleys, one is called willow and the other is called poplar.When I was young, I saw some locust trees and smelled the fragrant locust flowers. Those flowers tasted good, slightly sweet and fragrant. Usually when the flowers bloom, it is the day when the new generation of little boys practice climbing trees. , perhaps precisely because of this, fewer and fewer pagoda trees.As for poplars and willows, people say it sounds good, what kind of willows willows, but who knows how much trouble it will bring to people? As far as I know, generally willows show their power in spring, first the caterpillar-like caterpillars of poplars The flowers bloomed, and then those caterpillars fell to the ground, piled up everywhere, and they couldn't be swept away. It is said that they can be used as medicine, but how can so many medicines be used? The willow tree is even worse. The branches of this kind of tree It will spit out something called catkins and fly into the air, shaped like small cotton balls.The willow tree usually spits out its cute little balls when the spring breeze blows. The purpose, I think, is to slap those who want to benefit from the warm spring breeze.You just closed your eyes against the spring breeze, took a deep breath, and tried to smell the breath of spring with muddy moisture, but unfortunately, a group of catkins will come with the wind, drifting in without anyone noticing. Your nasal cavity, and lightly plug it, until you feel that enjoying the spring has a price. As we all know, spring in Beijing is windy, and the wind is not blowing in one direction, so catkins all over the sky took the opportunity to fly over Beijing non-stop.It looks pretty good, maybe a Taiwanese poet who has just come to Beijing will say that it is snow in spring, but wait a minute, as long as you stay in this snow for a while, it is guaranteed that you will choke and swear loudly.According to my experience, this kind of unreasonable snow makes the city of Beijing almost unbearable.In Beijing, the spring wind and sand that lasted for many days covered the sky and made the whole area dim, so that everyone could be ashamed without being beaten and scolded, just like a majestic "unbearable symphony".Then, people have to endure the catkins' gentle lust. Of course, this will last for many days, because the catkins can't be cleaned after they fall. They just wait for the breeze to come, and they will fly into the air. Unless there is a heavy rain, the symphony The subsequent "Too much to eat and go around the quartet" will not stop.In other words, whenever spring is warm and flowers bloom, the time for Beijingers to suffer will come. In fact, the role of willow is mainly reflected in summer, because these two kinds of trees can usually grow branches and branches when they are not trimmed, and I wish I could use one tree to support two trees.Willows come in handy when people avoid the scorching sun or storms in summer.Of course, in autumn, the fallen leaves on these two kinds of trees are also a headache, because simply speaking, it is called "too much, too much", so much that it is indescribably troublesome to clean.Especially the poplar leaves, which are characterized by "big, thin, and flat", sticking to the ground, and adding some autumn rain, it seems to be stuck with glue.The little autumn wind can't blow it. It has to wait until it is too dry to blow up. It will be swept away by people, and it will be burned on the spot, and the choking smoke will come out. It seems to have a lot to do with these two plants. The reason why Beijingers like to plant willows is mainly because of laziness.Because these two kinds of trees are easy to live and do not need to be managed, although they are not beautiful, it cannot be said that they are ugly.The poplar tree is tall and straight, like a man's sexual organ when he is excited, and the willow tree is swaying, like a beautiful long hair of a woman. As for the dirty and messy points, it is a small point, so don't worry about it, just have the momentum.Of course, some people will sigh and say what kind of people plant what kind of tree, and extrapolate to Beijingers like Beijing trees, so I don’t completely agree with this biased view, but I completely oppose it from the bottom of my heart. In a word, it is also difficult. Beijing looks very beautiful in winter, the northwest wind blows the streets clean, the sun hangs faintly in the sky, people are tightly wrapped up, only one face is exposed, and the difference looks very small. One winter, I wrote a script in Haikou. I started writing in autumn and continued to write in winter, thinking that I could finally escape the severe cold.Stayed until the end of December, and found that if there are not a few months of cold days in a year, there is really a lack of change, and there is a feeling of monotony.Beijing has four distinct seasons, which can affect people's emotions and feelings.In winter, people don't like to go out and prefer to stay in Wenzhou. It is a warm home, but when you go out, the cold wind blows, it will refresh your spirits, and you will find it interesting to go out. I am very familiar with winter nights in Beijing, everything is business as usual, the bar street in Sanlitun is full of people, and the taxis are almost moving.Girls in summer dresses and overcoats were everywhere.Even at two o'clock in the middle of the night, many people who do not return home at night are still intoxicated by alcohol.And a restaurant street in Dongzhimen is also brightly lit, especially the hot pot restaurant business is booming. I once had the experience of queuing outside a Sichuan restaurant in the cold wind at four o'clock in the morning. In fact, I like the winter in Beijing, especially when it snows for several days in a row, black and white are everywhere, no matter how stupid people are, as long as they wander outside for half an hour, there is a chance to see crashes and people who can’t get a car Standing on the side of the road and waving disappointed arms regretfully, young men and women can still be seen kissing each other with a small ball of white steam rising from their mouths.There is white snow hanging on the tree, which outlines the branches very handsomely.In this season, the physical differences between people are covered by clothing, while the living environment is highlighted, which makes people's attention shifted a little, this kind of shift is so subtle, but It's really interesting to change people's state of mind. It is not easy to really talk about winter in Beijing, because there are so many people and so many places in Beijing.I think it is particularly worth mentioning that in Beijing, the Spring Festival is celebrated in winter. After three months of cold, people hang red lanterns everywhere during the day and light them up at night, making them look more joyful and more joyful. It heightens the festive atmosphere and makes people feel inexplicably happy when they walk on the street. People enter the warm room in the cold wind and gather together, feeling indescribably warm and kind. I remember one time, during Christmas, a group of friends had parties in various restaurants and bars, and they couldn’t bear to part in the end, so someone suggested to visit the church in Wangfujing.So in the cold wind, we set off by various means of transportation and arrived at the church gate. As soon as we arrived, someone announced that he didn't want to go in, but just wanted to take a look outside. One of my friends probably drank too much beer just now. Take this opportunity to rush out of the cab and urinate outside the church.He is probably a bit educated, he has a certain feeling for the church, and he urinates with his back to the church. You must know that he is rushing towards the most prosperous street in Beijing--Wangfujing Street--the street is brightly lit, while cars and pedestrians The flow is endless. Want to live an artistic life? Of course, there is only one place in China - Beijing. The artistic life I am talking about here is not the kind of exquisite taste that permeates life, but a life that is opposed to the existing order of life-it does not respect the life stipulated by traditional society, it is a bit rebellious, a bit Helpless, a little hopeful, and a little lively life.In fact, it is a life that is confused and can be expressed, and for most people in society, it is a life of little use. In Beijing, nightlife is more abundant than daytime life.At 7:30, not to mention the movie theaters, the performances of major theaters began, classical or modern concerts, dramas, dance dramas, operas, local operas, and then various small theaters, which were regular performances.Informal performances are later, and each performance has its own relatively fixed audience. After watching the performance, people generally don’t go home directly, but come to bars or teahouses in frequent intervals to tell what they see. One said.Young people scold a few words, and middle-aged people will recall another performance from this performance. If you are really interested in talking about these performances, it is really not easy. If you don’t believe me, you can give it a try. Many performances are very professional. Watch Understanding those performances is not a matter of a day or two.I believe that if all the performances in Beijing are moved to Hong Kong or Shanghai, it will be impossible, because there will not be so many audiences. Of course, the audience who watch these performances is the result of accumulation over time, that is tradition.Behind this tradition, there are a large number of professionals engaged in art work, and the life of these professionals constitutes the artistic life in Beijing. When you come to Beijing, even if you are alone, you will not feel lonely at night.If you don’t want to watch TV or movies, and think those pictures are too illusory, then there is another kind of performance in Beijing, that is, face-to-face performances. Although the standard cannot be compared with Broadway in the United States, it has a complete variety and is spread everywhere.All you have to do is buy a newspaper or look it up online to find out where to go that night. There are 300 electronic rock bands in Beijing, all kinds of heavy metal, R&B, psychedelic rock, punk, too many to count Come on, more than half of them have very good acting standards.If you are an impromptu wanderer, you can take a car directly to Sanlitun Bar Street, where more than half of the bars have their own bands. You can open a door, buy a glass of beer, sit down and listen to the music. Listen to these loud and raw "underground music".Because Chinese TV stations ban this form of music, they can only survive in the clutter of entertainment venues.Oddly enough, of any modern music form you can think of, there is basically at least one band in Beijing that is cloned, except that the lyrics are sung in Chinese.Of course, there are some more mixed forms of music, which is also the style of Beijing, that is, to collage and inlay some strange things to form a style that no one can figure out what it is. At this time, you don’t have to be surprised, Just listen, and if you're not satisfied, get up, walk out, and open another door. If you are more artistic, there is also something called small theater drama in Beijing. Of course, large-scale dramas like the famous Renyi and Experimental Drama Troupe also perform every night, and the repertoire is not monotonous.However, it is still a small theater with strong vitality and a good sense of scene, that is, experimental drama.In fact, the actors of small dramas are very professional. Although these are professional art groups in Beijing that receive state salaries, the repertoires are varied. Some are adapted from best-selling novels, and some are adapted from famous plays by European or American playwrights. , There are also repertoires created by local playwrights.Performance venues can usually accommodate one to two hundred people, like a small theater for the People’s Arts. The stage equipment is a bit rudimentary, but the atmosphere is more casual and lively. Maybe you can meet some theater enthusiasts there. Finally, Beijing also has some very professional traditional opera repertoires that enjoy state subsidies. These repertoires are like living fossils of past eras, including Peking Opera, Kunqu Opera, Pingtan, and Pingshu. The former has its own theater, such as the Chang'an Grand Theater , the latter performs in some famous teahouses, the artists come from professional schools or opera families, and the taste is very pure. Speaking of those quasi-pornographic performances all over the world, there are also various large nightclubs in Beijing. If you are lucky, you can also see things like pole dancing, but they are not up to the level of luxury, just mediocre. Professional performances usually start at 7:30 p.m. and end around 10:00 p.m. As for ordinary small performances, there is no time limit. In the past, I always complained that there were not enough bookstores in Beijing, and there were not many good books to buy in them. I often went to the bookstore for a long time and couldn't find a book that I wanted to buy and read immediately.I often go out of the bookstore and think, I have to buy a few books, otherwise, it’s just a waste of time, so I go back and buy a stack of books that I might read when I get old, and I guess the result is I probably won't go to see it when I get old. However, it was only when I went to other places that I realized that the bookstores in Beijing are quite good. The bookstores in other places are not called bookstores at all. Except for some reference books, English books, and student teaching materials, there is nothing to choose.Only then did I realize that Beijing is a cultural center, and no matter how boring a bookstore is, it is better than having nothing at all. There are only a few famous bookstores in Beijing, and the current Xidan Book City is probably the most complete. However, the bookstore is too big, and it is quite difficult to walk around. It is extremely inconvenient to walk upstairs and downstairs.Before going, you often have to eat a full meal, take a deep breath, it is best to bring a bottle of water in your backpack, and then rush in and stroll until your head is dizzy. The most fashionable bookstore is probably the Wangfujing Foreign Language Bookstore, which has the most up-to-date English books.For Chinese people, things written in English often contain some new information, and there are often some great photocopies of books in the past.When Western classical music became popular in the 1990s, a "Dictionary of Foreign Music" was photocopied. The circulation was very small, and few people bought it, but it contained the most complete information, and almost all the famous There are introductions in musicians or records. No matter how biased the pirated CDs are, you can know the contents by looking up this dictionary.However, dictionaries like this quickly became the reading material of the small circle of enthusiasts. I once bought one, but it was borrowed by others and never returned, and I can never buy it again. By the way, I think it's really not some magazines like "Vogue" that lead Beijing fashion, but some small gangs with fever.Because these small gangs want to maintain their superior status, they specialize in a certain aspect of information and collect information very carefully and professionally.这类小团伙遍及文化生活的各个领域,是所有北京流行观念的始作俑者,当他们不时髦的时候,就是一些偏门发烧友,有一天,他们喜欢的东西突然时髦起来,他们就成为专家。 叫我最有感情的书店是东单的三联书店,我习惯每个星期去一趟,那个书店有个比较公平的排行榜,书业的流行趋势往往就从排行榜中产生,很多做图书生意的外地书商来京都会去逛一逛,把排行榜中的书带到外地去。 三联书店有三层,地下一层偏重文化性图书,类别也很专业,文史哲理工样样有,一层是最新出版的读物,三层是美术摄影艺术设计之类的图书,后来添加了音乐及电影。三联书店以出售中外重要的学术书闻名,它的顾客名单大概就是北京知识分子的名单,一般来讲,在三联买不到的学术书,便可算做偏门学术书了,这样的书或者没有被翻译过来,或者得去图书馆查找。 在一九七六年左右,我父亲买了他的一生中第一辆自行车,那时,自行车是凭票供应,工作单位经过排队,先发一张自行车票,然后一家人存钱,约一年后,才能买得下来,那时的北京,是个自行车的海洋。 当时的名牌自行车有三个品牌:"永久"牌的特点是坚固耐用,承重能力强,价钱最低;"飞鸽"牌中规中矩,价钱居中;"凤凰"牌最贵,但骑起来很轻。三个牌子中,每种一般只有 两个型号,"二八"型与"二六"型,前者是男式自行车,后者是女式自行车,且所有自行车间的差价也就在几十块钱左右,父亲买的便是"二八"式的飞鸽牌自行车。 有了一辆自行车,就能带着家人出去玩,我和我妹妹就坐过我爸的新车,一前一后,从城市的马路上,一直骑到郊区的土路上,我估计我妈也趁我们兄妹两人不备,单独坐过我爸骑的新车出去浪漫过,他们俩人直到现在感情还很好。 一九七六年的北京是个单调的北京,人们的服装颜色一般只有深蓝、黑色、绿色与白色,面料也就那么几种,连小孩子都能说出来,式样就更别提了。若是有外国人来,他一定会奇怪,以为全国为每个公民订做了一身制服,且无论春夏秋冬都穿着,如果那个外国人得出结论说,这是一个统一着装的国家,我一点也不会感到惊奇。 汽车的种类也很少,总之,无论什么东西,都只有有限的那么几种式样,所以,对于每一种式样,大家都惊人地熟悉。就拿自行车来说吧,我从八岁就会修理了,无论是补轮胎还是给轴承上油,或是调整辐条,样样都会。修车工具简单得离谱儿,一把扳手,一把改锥,一切就全搞定,若是有什么地方需要特别的工具,人们也发明出一个个巧妙的办法应付过去。比如:需要内六角时,人们便用一块破布垫着,用改锥顶着,再用一块砖头或是锤子慢慢砸,这样,内六角也会随之慢慢转动,松开或是拧紧。 记得当时人们相互发泄不满的主要方式,就是拔别人家自行车的气门芯儿,相当于把汽车轮胎的气儿给放了,但一辆自行车只需几秒钟便可把气儿放光,这一点,比放汽车的优越。轮胎没了气,这自行车就没法骑了,得推着,当时街边到处是打气的,打一次两分钱,你要是得罪人,就得成天去打气,有时,家长间相互交恶,就派小孩子去放别人家自行车的气。 因为全国人民都骑自行车,所以骑得相当好,街上双手离着把飞车的帅哥多得是,每天都能遇到。但说到骑着自行车上楼梯什么的,就没有人那么干了,因为毁车,当时的人们珍惜自行车的程度,比现在爱护汽车的程度有过之而无不及。每到周日,院子里成排的男人带着小孩,在保养他们又实用又心爱的私人财产--自行车。 所谓中心,就是人们围绕其生活的那个地点。 在生活中,人们很容易强调其某些部分的重要性而忽略其余,而且,这种强调,往往随着年龄及人生经验的改变而改变。娇美的花朵必将枯萎,漂亮而合体的衣服总会过时,新鲜而深刻的爱情也会因缺乏持续的刺激而变得平平淡淡。通过努力及运气,人们战胜了贫穷,然而那匮乏的生活方式,有时竟也能成为人们愉快而温馨的回忆,曾经认为永恒而顽强的信 念,也会被一点点的怀疑而在一刹间倾颓。 我相信,有多少个北京人,北京便有多少个中心。 以我为例。 少年时期,北京看起来还像个古代市镇,十分落后,很多条马路竟还是土路,那时候的活动范围不超过一平方公里,中心在家里。每天,从家里取得食物与父母的叮嘱,从这里出发,去学校上学,或去同学家玩,我们家住在右安门附近,那是北京的西南角,在我眼里,世界就是那么一丁点儿大。出了家门,向北走上三百米,便能看到绿色的护城河水,上面漂浮着油污,我记得竟有人从这水里钓鱼,我妈直接告诉我:"不卫生,吃了会死。"而向南走,则是一望无际的农田。 青年时期,我的活动范围慢慢地扩大了,方式是逛商场、郊游以及一些看电影之类的娱乐活动。记得到了快二十岁,才对北京的方位大概有了个轮廓,知道了二环路以内是市区,而市区里二十层的高楼少得可怜,盖起一个饭店就是一件大事。老师曾带我们参观北京的所谓建国十大建筑,大会堂之类,记得有一个同学的父亲是建筑师,他看过些外国的建筑书,眼界比我们开阔,他边走边悄悄地评头品足,告诉我:"这些东西土得掉渣儿,其实没什么意思。" 那时候对北京开始有了所谓中心的概念,至于这个概念是怎么来的,还真说不清楚。总之,我只记得一有什么事儿,爱凑热闹的北京人就纷纷涌向天安门广场,真是闻风而动,乘坐各种最简陋的交通工具,其中最流行的是自行车,多半为黑色,牌子还没有现在的汽车牌子多,且把这种交通工具利用得十分充分。我记得父亲就曾图侥幸,以一辆自行车带上我和妹妹,兴致勃勃地边骑边警惕地留心不要让警察抓到,就这样慢慢地来到天安广场。那时还有一些所谓的社会运动,这种运动的外在反映便是人们从各个角落向天安门广场奔去,直至天安门广场成为人的海洋。我至今仍感到奇怪,当时天安门广场是如何接待那么多人的,因为周围公厕稀少,更缺少小食亭,而人们的热情大概是去看看别人吧。作为一个北京人,我对人山人海这个词感到特别亲切,我想就是在天安门广场获得的体验。那时候的北京人除了盲目的热情以外,似乎就很难谈到别的。天安门广场让人们的好奇心获得一种满足,在那里,人们可凭直觉获得一种叫集体无意识的从众心理,并从其中获得兴奋以及力量,借以忘却生活中的沉闷压抑及精神物质方面的可怜与匮乏。事实上,现在看来,我认为用狂欢来比喻当时的北京人去天安门广场十分贴切,尽管并不是真的狂欢。但北京当代历史上所有重要的时刻,天安门广场毫无例外地都要聚起一批人来,他们在那里不停地走动,说话,四下看来看去,有时也高呼口号,既像乌合之众,又像是身怀某种痛苦却又有所期盼的见证人。 接着,我进入中年,知道了北京城也不过是地球上一个极不重要的小角落,而地球在茫茫的宇宙中也极不起眼,很可能是完全地微不足道,对于北京这个城市也不像以前那样看重了。我只知我是个北京人,我熟悉这一城市,尽管这个城市十几年间大兴土木,形式上花样翻新。从外表上看,比以前更加干净更加热闹了,各式各样的生活用品被运进来,或就地制造。汽车渐渐地有代替自行车的趋势,外地人和外国人越来越多,富人占据好地方,获得很好的照顾,穷人被成批地迁出城外,生活也得到改善。文化在表面上进入多元。我认为,这个城市无论从地理上与心理上,都渐渐地没有中心这一概念了,一个个价格不等的住宅小区,把相近的人群封闭在一起,购物商场按照购买力把人们也分了档次,恒温写字楼里白领成堆,队伍空前地壮大,成为北京主要的生产和消费的力量。北京与中国别的城市差别仍会主要体现在娱乐业上,北京提供更丰富的娱乐层次,据说是什么都有,我认为这种有也仅是停留在表面的意思上,并无什么真正的实际内容。人们来到北京,居住在北京,怀着各种梦想,愿意把力气花在北京,愿意为未来而奋斗。有试图立业发迹的富人梦,也有出名成家的荣誉梦,更多的是希望得到慰藉的感情梦。人们在无形之中积极进取,努力从各个方面建立更坚强更美好的自我,努力使我相信,自我中心便是北京未来的主旋律,无论人们在哪里聚集,无论他们喜欢谁以及什么地方,但终究他们会从各个方面回归自我。虽然很难说清这一中心的具体内容,我猜是个矛盾丛生的混沌之地,理智与情感,高兴与难过,迟钝与敏感,生与死,但人们只能奔向这个中心,我想情况就是如此。
