The term "going to the market" here does not mean going to the market every 147 or 258 to sell two chickens or buy two buckets of rice, no; it means that the dozen or so articles in this collection are driven out.A few words will suffice to illustrate this: I would not have capitalized short stories because I would not.However, since the Shanghai War, the number of publications has increased, and I have been asked to write articles everywhere;It is naturally impossible to write several novels at the same time, so I changed from back-to-back plays to short plays.As a result, more express letters were received: "Since I am willing to write short stories, what else do I have to say? Write it, buddy! Can't make up 5,000 words in three days? Less is fine! No matter what What's the matter, catch up with an article, hurry up!" The words were very "selfish", so I felt embarrassed, so the sky was dark and the sky was dark, and I talked nonsense; knowing that the writing would not make anything, I couldn't help but bite the bullet and do it.Up to now, it has become such a small pile!

If I hadn't taught, maybe these papers wouldn't be so bad, at least in terms of writing.But I have to teach, and I spend all my time in school during the day, so I can only talk nonsense at night; Now that the set is about to be released, I should have groomed and dressed up these little devils one by one; hmph, how could I have the time!Let them go; they are worthless, and will be eliminated in the future; I don't treat them as treasures, and it's inconvenient to strangle them all.That's the idea! The order of arrangement is according to the order in which they were written.If the one behind is better than the one in front, then the dog jumped over the wall and jumped over it.Seriously, this kind of "striking right" method, if you can get one or two tough guys, you have to recite the Buddha's name!

The magazines that carried these articles allowed me to include them in this volume, very grateful! Lao She 1934, February 1st, Jinan.
