In the afternoon, on Doulian Road, there was a crowd of people. On both sides of the road are large and small bookstores. Many intellectuals, young students, and some company employees come here in all kinds to find their favorite books.

Wen Hao also came here in his previous life, but in later life, he was not called Dou Li'an Road but Duolun Road. At that time, there was Lu Xun Park on the side, and there were ruins and memorial halls of the Left Union on Duolun Road.

The famous "Gong Coffee Cafe" is also on this road, as well as Kong Xiangxi Mansion, Bai Chongxi Mansion, and Tang Bourne Mansion, making Duolun Road an open-air museum of Shanghai-style architecture.

Walking on this road, you can feel the strong atmosphere of celebrity culture. Jianyang Wenhao came to visit Duolun Road, and there are some bronze statues of great writers on the side of the road, such as Guo Moruo, Ding Ling, Ye Shengtao, Qu Qiubai and so on.

However, walking on this road today, you may not see those statues, but maybe you will meet real people and leave them on the Chinese Literature Forum.

Walking on the street, in addition to Gu Xiaotang's attention on Xie Xiaorou, He Qinghan and the other three girls all focused on books.

Wen Hao doesn't look at beautiful women or books, his eyes are watching everywhere in the crowd. "How does this person's back look a little like Lu Xun's, that person seems to be Ye Shengtao. This can't be Ding Ling. That man can't be Pan Hannian. Wen Hao just wanted to find those literary giants and see what they looked like. I grew up reading their writings when I was a kid in school, although I grew up with the impact of emerging cultures, and paid less attention to them. But childhood memories always linger. Although I came out to read some online literature later, I didn't have the feeling of aftertaste after reading online literature, just like eating Western fast food. It's easy to see and forget. There will be no impressions. The works of great writers must be read calmly and slowly in order to have an understanding.

Before the crossing, Wen Hao watched a news, saying on TV that the subject of college language in college is becoming less and less important, and some universities change college language to elective courses, although it is a compulsory course, but the credits are very low, far inferior to English. Wen Hao couldn't understand that Chinese people don't learn Chinese well, but they should focus on other Chinese languages. Even if they want to promote the Chinese language and culture, they do not pay attention to the teaching of Chinese, how to promote the knowledge of the Chinese language. Wen Hao really didn't understand.

Gu Xiaotang was talking around Xie Xiaorou, Wang Lanying and Sun Yurong saw Wen Hao looking around and didn't know what he was looking for, and they began to think that he was looking for some good book, but after a closer look, they found that Wen Hao was not reading a book, but looking at people.

Wang Lanying also said to Sun Yurong, "Wen Hao is more attentive than Gu Xiaotang, and when he came here, he felt like reading books, so he looked at people everywhere." I'm definitely looking for a beautiful woman. No wonder it smells like Gu Xiaotang. ”

"Don't talk about people, do you look carefully at Wen Hao looking at beautiful women, he is looking at some older middle-aged people, and it seems that he is still looking at some men. Didn't stop at the young girl. It looks like he's looking for someone. I said that there is no sense of color in the eyes. ”

"I heard what you were reading, I came to read a book, not to talk about love, or to look around and look at the scenery." Wang Lanying is straight, and her personality is a little bold.

Xie Xiaorou couldn't entangle Gu Xiaotang, and when she heard this, she hurriedly got rid of Cheng Xiaotang and came to the side of Wang and her second daughter.

"The books in the Yangtze River Bookstore over there are good, and I bought Mao Dun's "Wild Rose" short story collection there last time. It's so well written. "Sun Yurong.

"By the way, you said that you lent me it after reading it, but you haven't shown it to me yet," Wang Lanying shouted when she heard it.

"Who told you to be late, now this book is in Xie Xiaorou's, and I won't show it to you until she finishes reading it. Yours is indispensable anyway. Sun Yurong said helplessly.

"If there are any good books this time, you must let me read them first, otherwise you will favor one over the other." "Okay, let's go in and have a look." When Sun Yurong heard this, the other two girls rushed into the bookstore impatiently. Wen Hao, Gu Xiaotang, and He Qinghan also followed.

Wen Hao entered the bookstore and took a look, the bookstore was east and west. There are bookshelves more than one person high on three sides, and there is a row of bookshelves in the middle of the store. There is also a small table at the back, a rattan sofa on all sides, and a writing desk when you enter the door, facing inward. It's the same as a counter.

There were already many people in the store, some picking books, and some people holding books to read, but there was no intention of buying them at all. Wen Hao remembered that when he was in school, he also went to the bookstore, and he didn't buy it in the bookstore. Unless you particularly like it, you may grit your teeth and buy it. After all, not everyone can afford to buy books.

In fact, Wen Haojue's effect on reading books in the bookstore is better when you buy the book and read it at home, and you can read whatever you want when you buy the book home. When reading books in the bookstore, you can't see ten lines at a glance and you must never forget them.

"Come here, there's Koleki's 'Mother' and Fadeev's 'Destruction'. These are new books. I didn't see it last time I came. He Qinghan called excitedly.

"This is a bookstore, why are people exempt from being so loud?" Wang Lanying glared at He Qinghan fiercely. He Qinghan seemed to be a little afraid of Wang Lanying. gave Wang Lanying a glare, and hurriedly turned around and didn't dare to look at her.

He Qinghan's cry attracted the attention of the people in the bookstore. Many people turned their attention to Wen Hao. It made everyone a little embarrassed. Smiled awkwardly at them.

Sometimes when they find a good book here that they have been thinking about for a long time, some people lose their temper. They all smiled understandingly, and then lowered their heads to look at the book in their hands.

Wen Hao knew that He Qinghan was a nerd, and it didn't matter if he saw a good book, he would be a little out of shape.

Sun Yurong, Xie Xiaorou was busy when she heard it. These are Soviet literary works, and the authorities regard these books as **. I don't dare to sell it anywhere else, and I can only find it here. The booksellers here don't care if they are the best in the network, as long as someone reads it and sells it well, they will take risks. As with those who sell pornographic novels in the world, although the government does not allow them to be sold, the high profits make some people take risks and sell them in secret. What's more, this is still a three-way zone. There are also many cultural celebrities and intellectuals here, as well as many speculators who make profits, knowing that the more the government prohibits something, the better it can be sold.

Gu Xiaotang also picked up a book and said to Wen Hao: "Xiaohao, I read this book well." "Pretended to look at it. Wen Hao laughed secretly in his heart, when you were sick, you either said that reading books is better than drinking, or listening to reviews is better than reading books. Listening to others say how easy it is, it's tiring to watch.

Wen Hao casually took the book in his hand from Gu Xiaotang's hand, and saw that it was still in traditional Chinese characters. Some words can be recognized, some words need to be looked at a few times before they can be reflected, some words have to be guessed, and some words Wen Hao doesn't even know.

Once Wen Hao met a Hong Kong friend when chatting with him when talking about traditional and simplified characters, Wen Hao said, "Why are you still using traditional Chinese characters in Hong Kong and Taiwan, why don't you use simplified Chinese characters, simplified Chinese characters are less penciful, and they are easy to recognize, and I am annoyed when I see so many strokes in traditional Chinese characters, so it is better to call them "annoying characters"

"Why do you still use traditional Chinese characters instead of simplifying characters, Chinese characters are simplified, first of all, it destroys the ideographic nature of Chinese characters, the ideographic nature of Chinese characters is that Chinese characters stand on their own in the forest of world words, but simplified Chinese characters can not be very good ideographic, can not do Chinese characters "with the form of the meaning, the meaning of the form, see it can be known, observe and see the meaning." "The importance of Chinese characters is that it severs the connection between modern and ancient Chinese characters. Third, it will block exchanges between the mainland and Hong Kong, Taiwan, and overseas Chinese. Even countries in Japan and South Korea that have been influenced by Chinese culture do not use simplified characters but traditional characters. This Hong Kong man also said that the roots of Chinese civilization are on the mainland, but the roots have withered. But it blossoms and bears fruit outside. Only regions that retain traditional Chinese characters are the inheritance of Chinese culture. ”

Wen Hao was very angry when he heard it, he couldn't find a reason to oppose it honestly, when he was in college, although Chinese was a compulsory course, the credits were too low, so many people didn't pay attention to university Chinese, but spent a lot of time on English. I just felt that what he said was wrong. Since then, he has had little contact with the Hong Kong man.

Wen Hao really struggled to read traditional characters. Luckily, everyone else is reading a book. Just Gu Xiaotang by his side. He was pretending to look at it, and his eyes were always peeking at Xie Xiaorou. It's a pity that Xie Xiaorou is reading carefully. Didn't pay any attention to him at all.
