Chapter 38: Appreciation of American Literature (1)

Mr. Sun Yijian is my fellow countryman and mentor. He not only has a high level of accomplishment in terms of literary accomplishment, but also in terms of character, he is a role model for me to learn. He was not only very talented in literature. And he also expounds on the creation of poetry. The poems he wrote are not only easy to understand, but also have a strong sense of truth. Reading his article, it was really beneficial.

A little more about the past

I am a retired employee who has dedicated my spare time to serving as a village clerk for fifteen or six years. Due to his advanced age and ear problems, he discussed with the village secretary many times and resigned from his position at the end of 2019. After "being unemployed, I was light" and thought about going out for a trip to soothe my mood. In the days when I was waiting for my granddaughter to accompany me on vacation, I contacted several places with the travel agency, but it was difficult to make the trip for various reasons, and finally I was only in Xi'an, Lintong for two days. Now I think about it because I didn't go far away, otherwise it would have caused a lot of trouble, because the two places I chose to go, Enshi and Wudang Mountain, are both in Hubei Province, although they are not Wuhan, but they are also very dangerous. Xi'an, Lintong tour was also so interested that I wrote an article and compiled it. After living in the city, invited by a friend, in the Linwei District Party Committee and the District Federation of Trade Unions wrote a few days of Spring Festival couplets, originally wanted to go home on the thirtieth day of the lunar month, but a wish to return to Wei, and the village friends have contacted the round-trip car. In the early morning of the 28th of the lunar month, I suddenly received a call from Murakami, and the caller said that Zhongxing's father died and asked me to go back, and I wanted to write a gift or something. In a fright, he made two more phone calls to tell the letter, that is, he took the shuttle bus to go home. On the way, I realized that my phone was not answered, and the dead person went wrong, I thought it was Zhongxing his father, because this old man was over 90 years old, and his body was sick again, and he was considered to be old and mourned, who knew if it was not. The old man didn't have a reason, and his son died, but I ignored the caller and called Zhongxing Dad. Something went wrong in Dad, and I lamented that this life was short and unfortunate, and the white-haired person sent the black-haired person sadly.

Because the year is approaching, the time is urgent, 28 people died in the month of Layue, the next day after the funeral, the 30th month of the month of the month of burial. At that time, there was a movement of the epidemic in the society, most of the people in the city wore masks, and people gathered together to discuss, but it was far from the severity and momentum after a night. Returned the meal order

In recent years, during the Spring Festival holiday, the hotel and restaurant business in the city and the township is booming, relatives and friends gather, children and grandchildren are full of lights to redeem themselves, etc. From the first day of the new year to the fifteenth yuan festival of the first month, the reception registration is full, and this year it is still the same. However, after the spread of the epidemic and the situation became tense day by day, from the sporadic at the beginning to the explicit prohibition at the back, there were many unpleasant disputes and contradictions between the hotel restaurant and the person who ordered the meal. Although the problems have been solved later, the loss of the restaurant due to the preparation of materials and other aspects is obvious, from this point of view, their helpless move, in order to take into account the overall situation has made the necessary sacrifice, the spirit is still worthy of affirmation, the same national disaster, bear the loss, should be praised.

Within the range of our relatives and friends, there are also four or five restaurants that have quit the banquet, and two of them have a little story to tell. First, between our brothers and nephews, there are some relatives and friends, brothers and sisters-in-law, who have booked a large table for fifteen or six people, and booked it a month in advance. Originally, the retreat was retreated, the situation is so that no one has a way, and it is not intentional, the key is the hotel where the meal is ordered, my daughter works as a waiter inside, because it is an internal employee, the hotel has a discount on the charge, plus their own people work inside, considering the impact of all aspects, making it a little difficult. There are also two opinions among the nephews, one is that there are regulations above, and the owner of the refund has nothing to say, and no one can bear the responsibility in case of an accident; In the end, I decided to discuss with the hotel first, and then the meals can be packed and taken home separately, digested by ourselves, and we will bear the cost of the meal, so that the hotel will not be lost. After the opinions are unified, the eldest niece, who has always been steady and considerate, is responsible for coordination.

The second family is my third sister, the third sister's village is adjacent to our village, less than two miles away, and the people of the two villages have frequent contacts and are familiar with each other. The third sister is a poor household, who was lifted out of poverty last year, since the elders, the family is poor and hard, and the days and months have passed finely. For the rich family, it is not uncommon for the rich family to have a banquet in a hotel, and it has become a common thing, but for the third sister's family, it is the first time that the eldest girl sits in a sedan chair and "opens the world". Coupled with the glorious poverty alleviation, it happened that the granddaughter was redeemed by the lamp, and several happy events were brought together, and the hotel banquet was particularly unusual and very important. The date was set early a year ago, and the relatives and friends were greeted, and the main relatives not only called to inform, but also personally came to the door to advise, really everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, and the arrival of the sixth day of the first month of the new year is alone. The sudden change in the epidemic situation, I regret that others will retire the meal, and I feel very sad for her family like falling into an ice cellar. Enthusiasm is a blow head-on, only to blame bad luck. I sympathized with the third sister's family, and persuaded me to return the rice, but the granddaughter's full lamp redemption cannot be forgotten, and the gifts and wishes of relatives and friends to the baby still have to be made up later.

Rumors stop at the wise

In the world, people's thoughts and emotions are shaped, and rumors are spread on ordinary days, and those who have nothing to do are endless, not to mention the extraordinary times, it is the battlefield where these people show their talents. The rumor-mongers know very well that most of the rumor-mongers, except for some who are in cahoots with the rumor-mongers, are ignorant people, and the most lucrative ones are pathetic. Rumors are distorted about facts, distort black and white, cause trouble out of nothing, disrupt the public and the public, and have an extremely bad impact on the normal social order. This epidemic has not been spared, and all kinds of information on the TV and mobile phone networks at the beginning of the year, true and false, are mixed and come to the face, which makes people dazzled and uneasy. After the official refutes the rumors and releases the correct information, this will make people's thinking rational and enhance their ability to distinguish in calmness.

Among the many rumors and text messages, the poem "The Millennium Prophecy of the Yellow Crane Tower" by Tang Li Bai, the first word of the poem is circled in red line, and it reads vertically: "The whole country supports the Wuhan epidemic and unites to be thrilling and dangerous." I've seen the things that are prophesied, most of them are deep in meaning, far-fetched and correct, far from being as straightforward as this language, accurate, and searching for it in Baidu on the mobile phone under doubt, only to know that this is a fake made up of sentences in the poems of the ancients, and the ridiculous and hateful thing is that it also pulled several dynasties, making people feel that this rumor is the pinnacle of fraud.

Rumors stop at the wise, hope to keep your eyes open and not blind. For all kinds of information, we must calm down, distinguish carefully, have our own opinions, and be a wise man. It is still necessary to emphasize that we must take official information as the standard, and we will not spread rumors, and we will resolutely not spread rumors or believe rumors.

Classic slogans

As I said earlier, my phone is my "stay-at-home" companion, which is true (I think other people and I probably feel the same way). A classic propaganda slogan from the past night

As I said earlier, my phone is my "stay-at-home" companion, which is true (I think other people and I probably feel the same way). In the past, I used to charge it at night, but I rarely used it up twice the next day, but now I charge it at least twice a day. On the mobile phone network platform, the information about the epidemic is overwhelming, and there are all kinds of dragons. Here we are mainly talking about appreciating the slogan.

Most of the orthodox and positive content is the same, such as "closely follow the Party Central Committee and win the battle of epidemic prevention and control", "unite as one and work together to prevent and control the epidemic", "insist on wearing masks when going out", "life is more important than Mount Tai", "If you don't go out at home, it is the best protection", "Wear masks, wash your hands frequently, don't gather, and stay safe" and so on. There are also some slogans, the text is not gorgeous, local dialect, but it is heartily down-to-earth, the warning is strong, the effect is good, so that people can't help laughing, and play a role in propaganda. Now we have collected some of these so-called "thunder slogans" circulating on the Internet and enjoy them together.

Don't want to have a lively party, the health of the whole family is important.

Visiting the door is killing each other, and gathering is killing oneself!

Come to the door this year, go to the grave next year

Now the meals invited to eat are all Hongmen feasts

It is the shameless people who come out to party, and it is the outlaws who play mahjong together

Those who do not talk about fever are class enemies lurking among the masses of the people

The pneumonia virus does not recognize people, and everyone has the responsibility to protect it

Don't eat together so that you can eat later, and don't visit the house so that you will have relatives in the future

Bring back to the village with illness, and do not care for your descendants

Returning to his hometown with illness, he was not filial, infected his father and mother, and lost his conscience

A dinner party is looking for death, and New Year's greetings are harmful

The people who come back from Hubei and don't report are all timed**

This year, if you don't visit the door during the Chinese New Year, it is the enemy who comes to the door, and the enemy will not open the door when she comes

The game was cool for a while, and the hospital lay down the next day

Take a bite of game today, and meet tomorrow

Kouqin is not a ventilator, you always look at the choice of one or the other

Wearing a mask is better than wearing a ventilator, and lying at home is better than an ICU

Save a small amount of money without wearing a mask, and spend a lot of money on bed treatment

There is a distance in the meeting, and there is no handshake

When he went out, he broke his waist and knocked out his teeth

The game was cool for a while, and the hospital lay down the next day

I think these slogans are only a part of the people, and there will be many, so when it comes to epidemic prevention and control, we must fight a people's war, everyone participates, and everyone controls themselves, in order to win the decisive battle. However, some of them only want to be happy for a while, but from the perspective of human policies, there are still some contradictions. But it also reflects the deep resentment of non-compliance.

There are also two couplets, which are worth seeing, one is for those who have returned to their hometowns with illness in Wuhan, making the situation of prevention and control in Linwei grim. The couplet is:

Shanglian: Weinan is in debt and hiding in Wuhan

Downlink: Wuhan virus belt Weinan

Banner: Clearly cowardly

And a pair:

Shanglian: I'm going to your house and you're nervous

Xialian: I panicked when you came to my house

Banner: Not coming.
