The "bullet" of pinball reads "talk", not "egg". Today's children don't play pinball, and their first reaction when they see these two words is "egg". When I was a child, in the streets and alleys of Beijing, wherever there were pits that could be dug, there were children gathering for pinball in winter and summer. Especially on the 39th day, some children crossed the river with snot and carefully pinballed while holding their big snot, which was full of joy. (脦rib is a Beijing vernacular, meaning quick inhalation.) ）

Pinball can be used as both a verb and a noun. The noun "pinball" is a thumb-sized glass ball, with colored cores and plain colors. When my generation was a child, the glass ball was a favorite, and it was a match for today's children's favorite mobile games. Children with more glass balls are superior in momentum, and there are always many followers around them.

There are many ways to play pinball. The rules of the game need to dig a pit in advance, all the way to the ban, through five levels to kill six generals, and finally win; Pinball pays attention to the technique, and beginners are prone to make two mistakes: first, the way of holding the ball is wrong, and the ball is stuffed between the bent thumb and index finger, commonly known as "Da Nu"; The real master is to suspend the pinball between the thumb and index finger, and use the thumb to bounce the ball with enough strength, paying attention to stability and accuracy. When I was a child, I often hit the pinball two or three meters away, or even four or five meters. I am quite proud when I think about it today, which shows how arrogant I was at that time.

I still have a love for glass balls until I became an adult, and many times when I open the drawer and see the glass ball rolling, my mind immediately goes back to my childhood. A small glass ball, rounded, colorful, and moderately sized, can be launched at any time when placed in the hand, drawing a beautiful arc in the air, and then rolling at high speed on the ground. No matter how fast or far this ball rolls, it is the childhood dream of a generation. This dream rotates with the earth to make us what we are today.
