Lin Yi likes to watch movies and also likes some movie stars, such as Tony Leung who can act with his eyes, and Andy Lau who has the demeanor of a king, but Lin Yi's favorite is Leslie Cheung. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Lin Yi likes Leslie Cheung, likes his "Farewell My Concubine", likes his "Cheng Dieyi", and likes him "If you don't go crazy, you can't live".

Like the play he played, in the end, Leslie Cheung went, and on an unexpected holiday, April Fool's Day, --- jumped wildly, became a person who could fly, and left us forever, leaving fans and fans who like him.

It is precisely because of his departure that his brother Leslie Cheung's previous photo albums and other albums are selling well and are worth a lot of money.

As far as Lin Yi knows, Leslie Cheung had a total of three major photos before his death, namely "Pure Album", "Qing" and "All".

Among them, after Leslie Cheung's death, his "Qing" and "All" were reissued in Japan, so they were popular among his brother's fans.

In contrast, his brother Leslie Cheung's "Pure Album" is divided into two types: the first edition and the second edition. The first edition was released in 1988 and the second edition was released in 1989.

Actually, both versions of the album are "july1988", so you can't tell which is the first edition and which is the second edition from the printing date.

Let's talk about the cover first, the covers of these two versions are different, because the cover of the reprint has a book sleeve with the words "Leslie Cheung Pure Album Reprint", this book cover was later stolen by a profiteer on his copycat version of the pure album, so some fans thought that having this cover was a copycat, but it was not.

In addition, the reprinted book cover, like some books, can be taken out, and when the book cover is taken out, you will see the pattern of the cover of the first edition.

To put it bluntly, the first edition and the re-edition of the pure album, the two only need to add an envelope to the reprint, and a piece of handwritten letter paper from my brother

Generally speaking, as long as you have a reprint, it means that you also have the first edition, because if you take away the book cover and superstition, the reprint in your hand becomes the first edition.

As for the first edition of the pure album, it shouldn't be nothing, as far as Lin Yi knows, in addition to a transparent packaging bag, there should be an application form for the fan club that year, and this application form is not available in the reprint.

It is precisely because Lin Yi knows these that he can see at a glance that the book in front of him is definitely the real "Leslie Cheung Pure Album Reprint". Nowadays, in the second-hand book market on the mainland, such a picture album has been fried to 3,000 oceans, totaling more than NT$14,000, and has a high collection value among movie fans.

……

At this time, Lin Yi was overjoyed, held the album tightly in his hand, and continued to look through the old things in the cardboard box, but unfortunately, there were no better old books. There are only a few very old vinyl records left.

When Lin Yi was studying, he also saw some people who specialized in collecting this kind of vinyl records in his book reading notes, so he shifted his goal to see what those vinyl records were.

Lin Yi was stunned when he saw the first one, because this one turned out to be Taiwanese singer Su Rui's "Sixth Sense", look at the date, 1986, produced by Warner Records. Today, the record is worth almost 150 yuan in the collector's market, totaling NT$700.

The second album is even more remarkable, it turned out to be "Anita Mui Flaming Red Lips", which was produced by Taipei Records in the early nineties. In the record collection market, it is worth almost 1,200 yuan, a total of NT$5,600.

Lin Yiwan, it's not that these two records are collectible, but because these two singers are Lin Yi's favorite.

Lin Yi likes Su Rui's song "If the Wine Sells Dry" the most, as well as the popular "Dedication". As for Anita Mui, not to mention, since her death, her records have become treasures for countless fan collectors, but I didn't expect to meet them here.

With these three treasures, Lin Yi felt that in this old bookstore, no, the old audio and video bookstore had gained a lot. So he took the two records, as well as the album, and asked the fat shopkeeper who was still using the computer to soak Ma Zi and video chat with Ma Zi, "How much money are these three?" ”

The fat man glanced up at him impatiently and said, "Old records?" 500 Taiwan dollars a piece, 800 for that broken album! ”

Lin Yi plucked out his ears and wondered if he had heard it wrong?

A total of 1,300 Taiwan dollars to get it?!

That's worth more than 20,000 Taiwan dollars.

Since people want this price, of course Lin Yi doesn't care, pays directly, and leaves! The fat shopkeeper in the back didn't know that he was eye-catching, and he left the treasure, and continued to video the girl: "Where are you going to Hi Pi tonight, do you want to go to Ximending?" Good night supper, I just collected more than 1,000 ...... here."

……

In a comfortable mood, Lin Yi left the video store happily and continued to move forward in this deep alley.

A short walk down the alley, I came across several bookstores. There is a store directly called "Taipei Antique Bookstore", on the second floor of an inconspicuous place, the store is not big after going up, and there are a few so-called treasures in the most conspicuous place, the price is of course expensive, it seems to be the Republic of China version of the book.

Lin Yi took a look, and one of them was Hu Shi's poetry collection--- "Trial Collection", published by Oriental Library, in 1920, that is, the early 9th edition of the Republic of China.

For this old book, which is known as the first rare book of poetry in new literature, Lin Yi has been famous for a long time, but he has never read it.

At this moment, I couldn't help but call the shopkeeper over and say, "Can you let me read this book?" ”

The shopkeeper was a middle-aged man, with the sophistication and sleek of a man from Baodao, his eyes looked Lin Yi up and down, and he asked with a smile: "From the mainland?" ”

Lin Yi frowned: "Yes, what's the matter?" ”

The shopkeeper did not shy away from it, and said directly: "Now mainlanders have money and can afford to buy good things...... I usually don't let the locals see rare books like this, they only flip through them, but they don't buy them. ”

Lin Yi: "......"

I don't know what kind of mood I feel.

The shopkeeper took out the book, held it gently in his hand, and when he handed it to Lin Yi, he didn't forget to remind, "This book is 50,000 Taiwan dollars, of course, if you are troublesome, we can also charge RMB...... How much is the renminbi, about 10,600 or more. ”

These words made Lin Yi not know whether to take this book or not, in case he didn't buy it after reading it, it wouldn't be a shame.

I have to say that this Taiwanese guy is definitely a businessman, and he seems to have eaten Lin Yi's psychology, so he said such things.

Whatever, let's take a look.

Lin Yi also took the rare book "Trial Collection" in his hand very firmly and looked through it carefully---

It is conceivable that in that era, ancient poetry was the most traditional form of poetry, but with the May Fourth Movement and the influence of Western literature, those intellectuals in the Republic of China could not sit still and began to try new poetry in the form of prose, and Hu Shi was the first person who dared to eat crabs.

Perhaps his poetry is not perfect, but it is fresh and sincere.

……

"I came from the mountains, brought orchids and plants, and planted them in a small garden, hoping that the flowers would bloom early......"

Lin Yi silently recited the poem called "Hope".

This poem was written in 1921, when Hu Shi went to Xishan in the summer of that year, and his friend Xiong Bingsan and his wife gave him a pot of orchids and plants. So I wrote this little poem.

Hu Shi is one of the most powerful figures in modern Chinese history, but not many of his works are truly well-known to the public, and this "Orchid Grass" is probably the most widely circulated. It is fresh, simple and affectionate, and the expectation and cherishing of life are vividly on the paper, and it is catchy.

At this moment, Lin Yi recited this poem silently, and what appeared in front of him was not orchids and grasses, but Hu Shi's hurried and persistent figure. When Hu Shi returned from school, he also brought a "orchid grass" --- liberalism, and he worked tirelessly to bring it back, plant it on the land of China, care for it carefully, and eagerly look forward to it blooming--- not to mention "looking at it three times a day"! Lin Yi thought that it was precisely because of Hu Shi's anxious mood that when he saw this orchid that had not bloomed for a long time, he suddenly touched the scene and sprouted poetry. Giving it the name "Hope" may be the hope that liberal ideas will spread all over China as soon as possible.

Now that the Si people have gone, the poetry is still there, think about Hu Shi, the "orchid grass" that has been shaking for nearly a hundred years, and can't erase the slightest melancholy.

Let's look at another praised poem--- "Butterfly":

Two yellow butterflies, both flying into the sky.

I don't know why, one flew back.

The rest of the one is lonely and pitiful.

I don't have the heart to go to heaven, and heaven is too lonely.

Some people say that this poem is about friendship, but Lin Yi doesn't believe it, because using "butterfly" as a metaphor for two big men is too abrupt. Lin Yi felt that this was Hu Shi's sigh for his love life.

Hu Shi was engaged to Jiang Dongxiu when he was a teenager, but after arriving in the United States, he met the talented and talented Wei Liansi and fell in love with him, and the half-life relationship between the two began from then on, which is no secret now. This poem was written in 1916, on the eve of Hu Shi's return to China, and this "Butterfly" is actually a modern "Liang Zhu" that combines Chinese and Western styles. Originally, the two butterflies that "both flew to the sky" fluttered and flipped over, but because Hu Shi's mother urged Hu Shi to go home to get married, they had to "fly back" one, leaving Wei Liansi alone, looking through the autumn water, it was really "strange and piti---ful", Wei Liansi was never married in his life.

Looking at this Hu Shi's poems, I understand as I am, and even honest and a little clumsy, but I can always give people a little touch, wisps of aftertaste, Lin Yi thought, this should be the power of sincerity. Hu Shi's poems are a bit like the Book of Songs, they are all inspired and look plain, but they actually have a deep life background. Some people say that Hu Shi's poems only have historical value, but Lin Yi can't agree. Hu Shi's poems, whether in terms of artistic quality or depth of thought, are naturally not very high, but he has a valuable quality: honesty. He doesn't make a fuss, he doesn't moan without illness, he is a real person, and he speaks clearly, which makes people feel very relieved.

Lin Yi remembers clearly that Hu Shi also wrote a poem "Dreams and Poems", which has these few sentences: "Only when you are drunk do you know that the wine is strong, and only when you love do you know how important you are." You can't be my poems, just as I can't be your dreams. ”

In Lin Yi's opinion, just such a song can sing the world.

Poetry, it doesn't have to be much.

One song, that's enough! (To be continued.) )
