Chapter 1 The Origin of Writing

Next Chapter

Time flies, and 20 years have passed in the blink of an eye. Do you still remember the popular web novel "The First Close Contact" in 1998?

At that time, I was moved by the love story of the ruffian Cai and the dancing flying, but I never thought that an online love similar to the ruffian Cai would also happen to me.

It's just that because of my youth and ignorance (maybe because of my character), I lost this love. However, when I reach middle age, my mentality has changed, and whether it is pain or joy, I have turned it into a good memory.

The story began in 1999 (the last day), in 2009 I recorded it in simple words, and in 2019 I began to rewrite it again, a cycle of ten years, and there seems to be providence in the dark.

In 2009, I wrote very proudly, and I wrote tens of thousands of words. Now a closer look at the previous texts shows that they are neither beautiful nor elegant, and they often add parentheses to the end of the sentences to write explanations; Looking at the articles written by others, they are all written smoothly, extremely clear, clear and clear, and clear to understand that there is no harm without comparison.

But fortunately, when I look at my previous words, it is like seeing me when I was younger, and the vitality and confidence unique to young people continue to flicker between the words, and I feel the time

The joys, sorrows, and sorrows of "me". I suddenly realized that what can live forever is the written word, which is always alive and vivid.

What's more, this love is unforgettable to me, it will always live in my mind, and I am in it.

But what if I'm gone? So I'm going to write it, and it's going to be emotional.

In addition, since it is a rewriting, you can't just add a little background, supplement the material, add a little feeling, and make big changes to the text, relatively keep the original flavor, and the vividness of the work is the most important.

Here, it is necessary for me to introduce the background of that time, after all, 20 years have passed, and it is too far away from the present.

At that time, the Internet was just emerging in China, and most of the Internet access was dial-up, and the Internet speed was only 56K.

The Internet café is a little better, using ADSL broadband, the speed can reach 512K. In the words of the people of the time, the speed was almost like flying.

As you know, the minimum network speed is now 20M, which is 40 times the fastest network speed at that time.

So you can understand why online chats were only textual at that time, and even if they were text, sometimes they had to be delayed to see.

Of course, mobile phones were not common at that time, and there was no Internet function. People who have mobile phones can still take their phones out and show off, even if they don't have the domineering spirit of Big Brother in 1996.

Therefore, at that time, online chatting was only seeing words and not people, which everyone remembered and was very important.

Someone said, you can't see anything, it's really boring, I tell you, the chat with only words, it's a kind of virtual world, there is a special sense of mystery, not only interesting, but also very interesting, you can feel it from my later descriptions.

In order to let everyone see the pomp and circumstance of online chatting at that time, I did not hesitate to sacrifice myself and dissect myself at that time, even if it was self-deprecation.

Let's tell a few short stories to warm up, so that everyone can understand the online chat situation at that time, so as to have a better grasp of the background of the story.
