The blind person is good at hearing, and the deaf person is good at seeing. With one source of absolute profit, we can use our troops ten times; if we return to day and night three times, we can use our troops ten thousand times. --"Yellow Emperor's Yin Fu Jing". It was not unusual in the 1950s for Zhang Kuiming to play the dongxiao and become China's first-class performer as a blind folk artist. Prior to this, New China had discovered the blind man A Bing who created "Two Springs Reflect the Moon". At the end of 1950, the government invited Abing to perform in Beijing, but by then he was vomiting blood every day and was on the verge of death. He regretfully said to the people who came to pick him up: "Thank you Communist Party, I'm afraid I won't be able to go." Zhang Kuiming's situation was much better. Not only did he perform in Beijing, he also entered Zhongnanhai and was received by Zhou Enlai, Zhu De and Liu Shaoqi. Two years later, he was invited to perform for Chairman Mao.

When I pushed open the back door of my grandma's house, I was greeted by the blue-grey city walls. My field of vision was completely blocked, and I was extremely small. Passing by the layers of stone and blue bricks, looking up, the sky is squeezed very narrowly. Throwing my head to the east, my eyes ran along the city wall, and were intercepted by the prominent Yanhui Gate (South City Gate) and the round Wengcheng. The desolate strength stayed in my eyes. There are no doors or windows on the city gate tower, only the mottled red door frame is left. The north and south winds flow freely, whistling the sound of winter. On the herringbone roof, withered yellow thatch is stuck in the cracks of the tiles one after another, swaying left and right in the wind. This is the ancient city of Ningyuan more than forty years ago. At that time, Xingcheng was still a small city, and the people in the city were limited to the city walls, which were less than two kilometers in radius. Outside the city gate, known as the Four Passes, there are sparse houses, inhabited by non-farmers, vegetable farmers and farmers.

Lin Yihan established the "Our Origin" studio in the Jinwu Hotel to compile family trees for people. As your business expands, you need to recruit writers. After the recruitment notice was issued, Lin Yihan did not expect that the applicants would be so enthusiastic. Most of them are retirees, including retired middle school teachers, administrative cadres who have retired to the second line, and staff who have retired from the History Office. Lin Yihan was not satisfied with these people. The teacher's writing skills are good, but he is old-fashioned. Needless to say about the cadres, they carry teacups, read newspapers, and care too much about their remuneration. And the people in the Shizhi Office relied too much on research. Every person and thing, even a hair, must have a source. Lin Yihan doesn't need these people, they can't work. To put it bluntly, the person Lin Yihan wants must be good at lying and must be able to make up lies. It is the principle of the studio to do nothing more than to make customers happy.

Early in the morning, Jiulan had just entered the latrine and unbuttoned her pants before squatting down, when a shrill howl came from outside the low earthen wall: There is a soldier in the family, and I am a member of the glorious army... It was the crazy father-in-law who was howling! Jiulan almost peed her pants. She tightened her belt indiscriminately and ran out of the hut. She was dumbfounded. Her father-in-law, who had been crazy for more than ten years, lived alone in the old wooden house. He had been bedridden with a cold in recent days and was seriously ill last night. Why was he running around like a normal person this morning? Besides, he was holding a mahogany box in his arms.

A little morning light came in from the window, and clothes were drying on the windowsill, blowing in the morning breeze, and casting swaying flower shadows on the porcelain floor. Lian Teng sleeps on the lower bunk of the bunk bed, which is covered with cotton sheets with bright peonies and phoenixes, chrysanthemums stuffed into the cloth pillows, and a thin blue flower quilt that is so old and tattered. This set of bedding was brought from home and has been used for so many years. I lay down next to an old cotton cloth and fell asleep. When I wake up, I feel at ease and particularly attached. Because it will be night again when I see this set of mattresses. The people inside got up early and were all in a hurry, washing up and heating breakfast in the kitchen. Lian Teng quickly went to the bathroom to get a basin of water, washed up, took out a comb from under the pillow, quickly combed her hair, applied some facial cream, straightened the bed, and went out loudly.

The big gray mule pulled the cart slowly and bumpily on the rugged mountain road. The driver's body was nestled on the front bumper, his head almost tucked into his crotch, and a twist whip was held in front of his chest. Several long whip tips were like willow branches in winter, swinging over the heads of the big animals not far or near. Captain Shi, who was on the other side of the carriage, had already dozed off for a while. He stretched and looked back at the two team members sitting on the box board. They were sleeping soundly as they staggered around, touching each other and squeezing each other. He asked loudly at the driver's handlebar, "Brother, I haven't seen you call "animal" for a long time. It seems like this gray mule is pulling and singing to itself. Where is it pulling us? The handlebar-style head of the guy called Brother was slightly raised from his crotch, and his eyes were still half-lidded. Don't worry, I know the way.

The vast mountains are a steely color. There are a few half-hidden and half-exposed wooden houses dotted on the mountainside. Occasionally, a few dog barks or a few roosters' crows can be heard from the wooden houses. Suddenly it fell silent again. The mountain fog starts when I talk about it. Mountain rain comes as soon as it comes. If the fog rises from the bottom of the valley to the mountainside, and the color is milky, even though the momentum is overwhelming, it must be a sunny day; if the fog rises from the top of the mountain, and the color is gray, even if it is sparse and scattered, it is definitely a rainy day. But no matter it is sunny or rainy, the first thing that wakes up the mountains is the ringing of a cowbell slowly pulled out by a cow rope... It is a painterly artistic conception. That is the taste of being able to write poetry.

Unexpectedly, the door was only ajar, but with her strength, it opened instantly. Before Su Yunshang could be surprised, she heard a crackling movement inside. She turned around and saw that the room was covered with silk and silk. It was a tailor shop. The young tailor seemed to be frightened by the sudden intrusion of the woman. He stood up suddenly and threw his chair. Half of the satin being cut on the table fell to the ground. Su Yunshang closed the door and made a silent gesture to him. The little tailor hung his hands in the air blankly, as if to show that he was helpless.

She also said that when I went to New Zealand, it would be best to meet this person. She went on to tell a lot of trivial things about him. For example, he used to be a boss. After coming to New Zealand, he built houses and sold computers. Now he works as a tour guide. He is careful and warm. He can prepare his own biscuits and play CDs that match different scenic spots, and so on. During the time she stayed at home, Xia Xin nagged many times, especially when she was sitting in the booth, drinking coffee and looking at the scenery outside. I could tell she was reminiscing about some good memories.
