King of children.
"king of the children" is the last one in Acheng's "Three Kings" novel series, with the longest length, and I think it is also the most wonderful one written in the "Three Kings" series. Interestingly, Acheng did not mention who "king of the children" was in this article. Although the reader must know who the "child king" is after reading it, it does not appear in "Chess King". This article is just a simple narrative. Acheng himself likes telling complete stories. He always said that he wanted to "talk well", and he also incorporated this idea or a feature into king of the children, telling a story about a farm worker who went to teach well. This article does not have the huge scene of Wang Yisheng playing chess nine in the first two articles, nor does it have the sad mood that Xiao Jiedou died with the tree. However, there seems to be more things worth pondering, and there are more words and paragraphs worthy of repeated taste. This time, it is not a story of an educated youth going to the countryside, but a story of an intellectual who works hard in the production team going to school to teach students Chinese. The protagonist of the story is "I". The branch secretary of the team called me to him one day. First, he gave me a sly compliment, saying that because the school lacked a teacher and you were the only one in our team who went to a better school, I decided to let you teach at the school. I don't think I can teach well because I am timid. When everyone knew that I was going to teach at school, they came to me with wine and meat to say goodbye. They all said that I would have a good life in the future. Don't forget us in the future. We spent the night joking with our friends, and the next day my best friend "Lao Hei" sent me to school. When we arrived at school, "Mr. Chen" received us and took me to the dormitory to have a look. I found that Mr. Chen took me to the classroom again. After meeting the students, Mr. Chen took me back to the office and gave me a book full of notes. It must have been used many times by many teachers. The next day, when I was in class, I found that the students had no books. Mr. Chen explained that the school is too remote and not a big school. The books approved by the county have never come, so I have to copy the text by hand to teach students to understand the meaning. A student called to say that I was angry and asked him how to teach. Of course, he can't answer. At this time, I realized that this student was the child of a man named Wang in the previous team. Wang and Xiao Jiedou are quite similar in character, but this Wang is dumb and speechless. People in the team always make fun of him, which makes him do a lot of work. In the later teaching, I found that Wang Fu was a studious student with a special record. One day, the school organized to cut bamboo on the mountain. Wang Fu has been coveting my dictionary for a long time, and bet me that he can keep a diary today and cut bamboo tomorrow. Although I thought I would definitely win, I definitely accepted his bet. As a result, in the evening, yes, Wang first cut down hundreds of bamboos and then shipped them back to several trees to get this diary. I said, "It is always afterwards to record one thing." But I decided to give the dictionary to Wang Fu. Knowing that I lost it, I didn't want my dictionary and offered to copy it myself. Later, in class, I asked students to write a composition on the topic "My closest person". Among the students, only Wang Fu wrote the best, but in the end, someone above said that I didn't teach Chinese well and transferred me back to the team. Before I left, I took away the students' composition, and the article ended here. In fact, the article wrote a lot of points worth discussing, but as I wrote in The King of Trees, they were all ignored. First, for example, is the matter of children's textbooks really a shortage of resources? I'm afraid not. All kinds of posters are flying all over the sky. Isn't there some paper to print textbooks for students? As the saying goes, no matter how poor you are, you can't be poor in academic qualifications. The development of a country must first do a good job in education. But nowadays, children don't even have textbooks in class, and it takes a lot of time to copy textbooks in class. Isn't this a waste of time? I'm afraid it's the inaction of senior leaders. Don't even make it a big deal for children to go to school. They just shout slogans every day and flatter leaders one level older than themselves. The second is the living environment and working environment of intellectuals. As can be seen from the article, I have to make my own bed when I get to the school dormitory. There is only a table and a bedstead in a room several square meters in size. This environment is no different from the production team. It is reasonable to say that the environment of school teachers is better than that of people who do farm work in production teams, but this is not the case. But I turned to think about it carefully. The government can't even distribute students' books, let alone eat and live in the environment. The third is the point I made at the beginning of this review. In the article "king of the children", Acheng completely magnified his characteristics of "speaking well", and he also obviously criticized people for speaking well. Just when I first asked my children to write a composition in an article, I always couldn't understand what was written in the middle of the night. Students always use a bunch of false words or slogans to make their compositions look gorgeous. However, how can a student who can't even write write such a good article in his mind? This will only expose their ignorance more. If they were so young, they would make up a bunch of things they had never seen before and write them on paper. When I grow up, I will only become an "apple polisher" who can't even approve books. Therefore, I teach my children to write what they see first, and then write about school. Although the children only wrote a few words, I was still very happy to read it. I feel in my heart that this is what a language should look like, and Acheng certainly thinks so. In the article, when I was transferred back to the production team, I said that "there is no difference between Chinese class and political class" and satirized this phenomenon. Chinese is not the appearance of a language, and it doesn't pay attention to the foundation. That's just a fabrication, a bunch of things I don't know, so it's strange to learn Chinese well. Acheng really wants people to talk well, reminding me of how many online hot words are burning inexplicably in this era. These hot words may just be spoken casually by a celebrity on the Internet, or they may think that Gao Xiao is just cobbled together, which greatly misleads children's thoughts now, and also makes many people feel that they are behind the times and think it is their own problems. I always see a sentence on the internet, which is puzzling. I didn't know the meaning of the word "breastfeeding at a young age" until I searched online. All kinds of inexplicable abbreviations are flying all over the internet, and all kinds of weird words are eroding and teasing people's hearts. I'm afraid that our generation of children will only spit out all kinds of abbreviations after they are born, and they will only be strange and will only use dirty words to describe anything. When they encounter an arguable thing, it is a good thing and can exercise their thinking. However, opening the mouth is to greet the other ancestors for 18 generations. There is no logic at all, let alone any connotation in it. There are even various substitutes for Yan characters. Originally a string of black words, as if covered with disgusting and ugly skins, became beautifully dressed and coquettish. There is also the word-making technology on the Internet. Every word that can be said in ten words is replaced by a nonsense word that you have tried your best to make yourself and your words full of "cultural atmosphere". As a result, you just pass the buck and force the other party to find something that can be broken, because the other party has no idea what you are talking about, and naturally you can't overturn the logical structure established by your words. If we peel off the ugly skin of words, we will find that what is uglier is the human heart. They are not only ugly and fragile, but also have to strengthen their weak and tired bodies with inflated words. If this development continues, China's culture which has been passed down for thousands of years will be abolished in words. Think about it carefully, this is a terrible and powerless thing, and it is almost impossible to simply say "well". The fourth is the fact that I was transferred back to the production team at the end of the article because I didn't teach Chinese well. This is obscure. Finally, Secretary Wu handed me a cigarette, which I declined because I can't smoke. But in fact, as the last article said, I gave Wang seven barrels of cigarettes to him. There are also scenes in the article that describe me smoking in a sack. How can you not smoke in the article? So I think my last refusal to accept the apology cigarette handed by Secretary Wu represents my silent resistance to the decision to be transferred back to the production team, but what I am more resistant to may be that after I am transferred, the children have to learn the politics of wearing Hanfu. I'm sad but there's nothing I can do. At the end of the article, I was transferred and can't continue to teach children Chinese. The seemingly sad ending actually gives people some hope. Because at that time, there were very few people who could stand up and resist, and I was one of the few. Even if I secretly resisted, it was just an example of fiction. In reality, there are even fewer people who dare to resist. 996 office workers have been squeezed out of the last surplus value by capitalists, and few people dare to stand up and resist, but this at least gives people a hint that they can stand up and resist when they are oppressed. It's not a bad thing to dare to be first. I finished writing some words here in Acheng's "Three Kings" series and learned a lot. I know the hard living environment of that era (I wanted to list them one by one here and then write some of my feelings, but it's not too late to tell them in detail after reading other books on related topics. I learned not only the content of the book, but also the confidence after reading many books. It also taught me how to think, how to think deeply and how to speak well. I never believed the phrase "There is Yan Ruyu in the book and Golden House in the book", because each of us has different concepts of Yan Ruyu and Golden House. I think this matter can be understood in this way, but maybe you don't think so, he thinks so, so we can discuss it like this, of course. Reading is not a utilitarian thing. We can't get the whole truth of life from one book, nor can we get it from ten books or a hundred books. But we can get the truth of life from countless books, get the way of dealing with people, and get our own Yan Ruyu and golden house. "Self-satisfied with poetry and books" is my only belief in reading. Thank Acheng, thank you from the bottom of my heart!
