Chapter 10 Li Xiang: The best time to read

Text/Li Xiang (Media cutting-edge, once worked for the "Economic Observer".) Xu Zhiyuan seemed a little disapproving of the reprint of his old work, and he did not write a longer preface for his own work.At the same time, he also defended in the preface of several hundred words that he had not reread his work, saying that he wanted to maintain "the enthusiasm, rawness and falsehood of the past."If it were me, I would consider cutting out some of these passages, they are too naive-of course, this may also be the welcome aspect of this book. He hoped that his book would sell as well as Jay Chou's records.In fact, the most effective way to ensure the sales of this book is that Xu Zhiyuan can win the respect of more people as time goes by.This will arouse people's curiosity, everyone wants to know how such a person spent his youth, because youth is the best time for all people.

The only regret is that he started recalling too early, or in other words, his premature memories were accidentally preserved-maybe most people have similar memories.It can't be a classic, it's just "passionate, raw and vain". Xu Zhiyuan hopes to keep the original appearance of this book, perhaps because he thinks it maintains the original appearance of his youth. However, we all know that when a person recalls his current situation, he is driven by pride and vanity, and often likes to exaggerate improperly. own emotions.And like Coetzee recalled his youth when Cui Cui was old, the sincerity is even more moving.I recommend Coetzee's The Boys and The Boys, esp.In it, Coetzee describes a young man's confusion about the world and his desire to grab fame.

Alternatively, read E.B. White's Extraordinary Years - I love White's prose so much that I feel compelled to recommend it to anyone in need of grace and a sense of humour.In Extraordinary Years, the author of The Rat Boy recalls his "youthful delusion and folly." I like the fired White in Extraordinary Years, "I'm useless as a journalist", "Life confuses me. I don't know where to go", but, "Influenced by Mencken and Lewis, haughty I despise commerce and merchants." And the irony is, "At that time, I had a great need to be among the lay people, to be high and pretentious, although I secretly envied their ability to earn a living".Then one day embark on an adventure with forty dollars, a typewriter, and a copy of "French Lyric Poems," fantasizing about becoming a great writer someday—and then coming true.Aside from the fantasy coming true, the young man White recalled was living in the past, the present, and even into the future.

Or, Hemingway's "Moving Feast"; or, Jack London's "Martin Eden"... This best time is immortal, and some words are also immortal, because human emotions never go out of date . Welcome to the best time to read.
