Chapter 11 Doulian Road
Wen Hao suddenly thought that Dou Li'an Road was the Duolun of Shanghai, he crossed the border in 1911 to build the road, it is just a small street in Shanghai, the street is narrow and short, the road is winding and quiet.
Dou Li'an is famous for its cultural street, a short 500-meter path condensed many cultural celebrities in the 30s of the 20th century, produced a variety of literary phenomena, a multi-cultural road, a hundred years on the beach, where Lu Xun, Guo Moruo, Mao Dun, Ye Shengtao and other literary giants and left-wing writers' literary activities, casting Duolun Road, that is, Dou Li'an Road has become a "cultural town".
There is an important reason why it has become an important cultural town, it is located in the Chinese border, the junction of the concession and the Japanese forces, and the reason for the unclear jurisdiction has become a vacuum zone.
So this vacuum has a relative free space. Under the white terror of the Kuomintang, many free people and progressive youths came here to express their fears and speak their minds freely. The cultural atmosphere here was the deepest at the time.
Moreover, Dou Li'an Road is also a place where literature is commercialized, and the merchants here sell whatever books are easy to sell, and the more they are banned, the more they sell fire.
Therefore, many people come here to buy books, and many students like to come to Doulian Road after the holidays. Find some books that you like and get educated about progressive ideas.
Lu Xun once told a story: "At that time, there were nearly 100 bookstores of all sizes concentrated here, and the reactionaries saw that there were all books and magazines of left-wing writers, and many readers also liked to buy these books, but the reactionary books and periodicals in the reactionary bookstores did not bother, and the reactionaries had no choice but to arrest the owner of the bookstore that sold the best left-wing writers, and asked him if he wanted to sell right-wing books, but the boss said that he was illiterate and could not distinguish between the left and the right.
It is not only home to Chinese writers, but also to Japanese culture, most famously Mitsuzo Uchiyama, and Takiji Kobayashi being the most famous.
In particular, the Uchiyama Bookstore, which he opened, was a window to disseminate second-class world culture, and the Meimei store sold many theoretical works and literary and artistic works of progressive national ideals, attracting many people who wanted to understand the world and absorb the ideas of science and democracy. Under the horror of folding, the identity of the Japanese was used as a cultural refuge. The bookstore not only has a large number of ** books, but also many progressive books and periodicals banned by the Kuomintang. Some of Tantalum Xun's books were published with the help of the Uchiyama store, as well as Comrade Qu Qiubai's "The Sea and the Forest". handed over Comrade Fang Zhimin's suicide note "Qing Poverty" and "Lovely China" to **.
However, what makes Wen Hao strange is that Gu Xiaotang dislikes reading the most, how could he be interested in going to Dou Li'an Road, there are only books there, if it is He Qinghan brought it up, this is normal, He Qinghan likes to go to that kind of place.
Today, Gu Xiaotang picked up the mail order, and he was still in a hurry, and he couldn't wait to go over there immediately. This made Wen Hao a little puzzled. Could it be that he has changed his personality and now likes to talk about reading, which is unlikely.
Wen Hao couldn't help but look at He Qinghan with inquiring eyes. He Qinghan saw Wen Hao's question.
"It's not just the three of us, it's someone else."
"Others, who else will go with us." Wen Hao asked rhetorically.
He Qinghan was about to say, but Gu Xiaotang hurriedly said, "There are also Xie Xiaorou and Wang Lanying." Sun Yurong. Good guys are going too, ask us to be company. ”
"No wonder Gu Xiaotang is so active and accompanied by beautiful women. Otherwise, he will go, reading books is fake, and pickling girls is real. Wen Hao looked at Gu Xiaotang's anxious look, if he was so active in studying, his old man would die of happiness.
"Hurry up, what book do you like, I've got it." Today I told the old man that I was going to the bookstore, and the old man happily gave me a sum of money, enough for us to spend. ”
"The usual money allows him to sell books, and he says that it is better to drink and sprinkle books than to buy them. Today, I'm thinking about buying books. It looks like it's going to cost a lot of money to pick up girls. ”
"Will your old man believe you to read and buy books?" Wen Hao didn't believe that Gu Xiaotang's father was an old Jianghu and didn't know his son yet.
"What don't you believe, there is our top student, Zhuang Yuanlang testified, can he not believe it......" Gu Xiaotang said proudly.
Wen Hao couldn't help laughing when he heard this, who didn't know that although He Qinghan was timid and weak, but the child who never lied, since he made this friend of Gu Xiaotang, the good ones didn't arrive, and the bad ones learned a lot.
Seeing Wen Haoxiao leaning back and forth, Gu Xiaotang and He Qinghan were a little annoyed, He Qinghan was annoyed and angry, he forced Gu Xiaotang to lie to Gu Xiaotang's father. The expression is a bit like forcing a good person to become a prostitute.
"What are you laughing at, this time I took three women, how good it is for the three of us brothers to divide up one by one, this kind of good thing I think of you first, and you still laugh at us. Is it looking for a fight. Gu Xiaotang said angrily.
"Come on, you want to chase Xie Xiaorou, pull us to help, and let you create a chance to pick up girls, right?" Wen Hao said with a smile.
"What do you mean by pickling girls?" He Qinghan immediately asked, it's not a loss to be a top student, and if you don't understand it, you will ask immediately.
"Haha pickling girls means chasing girls." Wen Hao doesn't write novels that are commonly used in later generations, and no one in Shanghai has ever heard of pickle girls.
"Picking up girls is chasing girls, this is quite vivid. Soak together every day, preferably in the bath. You learned it from there. Gu Xiaotang was very interested when he heard it.
"Oh, I once met a Hong Kong person sucking a Hong Kong person, and I said it once, and I remembered it." Wen Hao knew that this pickled girl first appeared in Hong Kong, but I don't know when it came out.
Fashionable things are related to economy and culture, and Shanghai at that time was a popular vane in China. After the reform and opening up in the 80s, some popular elements in Hong Kong had an important impact on the country. Therefore, the word pickle girl may still be a local dialect in Hong Kong, which is difficult to get into the hall of elegance. With the economic prosperity of Hong Kong. It has had a significant impact on the country and has become a popular word in China.
"Pickle girl, it's really good, today we're going to pick up girls, one person to pick one, and see who gets it first. But first of all, Xie Xiaorou is mine, Wang Lanying, and Sun Yurong are the two of you. Gu Xiaotang was assigned at once.
"I went to Dou Li'an to read books, so I didn't go to pick up girls." He Qinghan immediately retorted. The face is still red.
This Gu Xiaotang really looks like a master of love, a playboy and He Qinghan is an innocent little boy, when he mentions women, especially when he goes to pick up girls, he immediately turns red.
"Okay, you're a nerd, do you really have Yan Ruyu in the book? Hurry up, Wen Hao can make the beauty wait for us. After speaking, I wanted to pull Wen Hao away directly.
"Hey, wait a minute, I'm going to talk to my sister." Wen Hao also wanted to go to Dou Li'an to have a look, after all, China was an important cultural center at that time. He also has a lot of celebrities, maybe he can meet Lu Xun, Ye Shengtao, Mao Dun and other great writers to see their style. Turned around and went into the house.
"Sister, I'll go with them to Doulian Road for a walk, and I'll be back soon."
"How do you think of going to Doulian Road, do you want to read a book? Gu Xiaotang, he usually asks you to go out and doesn't know where to mess around, and he will never think of asking you to go to the girl. Isn't it a lie to me. Zhao Jingxiang was a little skeptical.
"Why did my sister lie to you? It's really going there, but Gu Xiaotang made an appointment with a few female classmates. They wanted to go there to see, so Gu Xiaotang would go there. ”
"No wonder I wanted to chase a woman." Zhao Jingxiang thought of it immediately. I also believe that "go early and come back early, don't play crazy outside, I don't know how to go home." ”
"Oh, I know," Wen Hao replied, then waved his hand to Zhao Xiang, turned around and went out.
