? Take out the books one by one, tear off the plastic wrapping, stack them neatly, and then check each book one by one to see if there is anything stuck inside. Based on past experience, old books are likely to contain some things, such as notes, love letters, food stamps, stamps, stamps, private money, black and white photos, etc. If you are lucky enough, you may come across the author's signed copy or even a long inscription. This is like digging a copper mine and uncovering an associated gold mine.
? There is a book in this box of old books, which is "Another Kind of Nostalgia" by Mr. Ma Yueran, a Swedish sinologist and Nobel Prize judge for literature. It was published in the first edition of 2004 by Sanlian Bookstore. When I opened it, there was a large inscription in classical Chinese written in blue ballpoint pen on the title page:
? "The saying goes: If you can talk to someone but don't talk to them, you will lose someone. Ma Jun had a taste of it in his past years. Because of this, at that time, it was difficult for him to translate and introduce Chinese works to the realm of the gods, and he actually despised it. Now that I have read this book and learned that a Western scholar devoted his life to introducing Eastern culture, I found it endearing. Respect. The reason why Chinese and Western languages ??are difficult to translate is because of the uniqueness of the Chinese language. Jianhua Yue Jingshi. "
This inscription reveals a lot of information. The person who wrote the inscription has good calligraphy, good classical Chinese, and a broad vision. He has also met Ma Yueran. Regarding Ma Yueran, he first despised him, then liked him, and then respected him. This is by no means an average reader.
From the inscription "Jianhua", I had an unrealistic fantasy. Could it be Mr. Dai Jianhua?
Because I didn’t recognize a few words in the inscription, I took a photo and sent it to Mr. Hu Hongxia’s “Night Study” reading group, asking everyone to identify it and ask who “Jianhua” was. Mr. Yi Weidong recognized the characters "You Bu Du Zhai" and suspected that they were Dai Gong's characters. Then, Mr. Hu Chunhui and Mr. Jimi both made a positive judgment. Teacher Feng, a "Yinshan gourmet", made an appraisal from the perspective of writing style and signature, and said that it was undoubtedly the authentic work of Dai Gong. He said that he worked in the public security in his early years, learned handwriting appraisal, and was familiar with Dai Gong's signature. Mr. Yi Weidong said that it would be better for Mr. Dai to make the decision himself.
? Dai Gong is also in this group, but he only checks WeChat every morning and writes a reading diary, and rarely reads this kind of group chat. But what people didn't expect was that he immediately came out to claim it: "Hello everyone! It was me who graffitied. This book has been forged and will not be returned for a long time."
It turned out that someone had borrowed the book from his own collection. , was sold again.
A few days ago, Mr. Hu Hongxia posted a "night question" in the group. One of them was about borrowing books, asking if you have ever borrowed books from others and failed to return them. Many book friends have confessed to this, but according to the confessions, they have not done anything so bad as borrowing books collected by others and then selling them as scrap paper.
? Borrowing books is a small matter, but it shows the true face of the world. Teacher Feng, a veteran Yinshan gourmet, was also very emotional. It was understandable that the borrowed books were lost, but it was not interesting to exchange them for money.
? Dai Gong replied: "Brother Chuanyou, why does it hurt!"
? My understanding is that a book has been in the hands of someone who likes him, which is not very good. Okay.
? But this book is Mr. Dai’s collection after all. I shouldn’t keep it as my own, so I just said I would send it to him.
? Dai Gong replied: "No, no, no. Chu people lost their bows, and Chu people got them. It's a good story. I can also give you another book for your advice."
? Not only did I get the book with Dai Gong’s inscription and postscript, but this time I also got his monograph. The group members exclaimed, this is really a wonderful book relationship.
? Duke Dai said: "Lend me a book or get a book from me, exchange it for a little money, and someone else will pay for it. This is fate.
? True The kindhearted elder. He forgave the person who lent him the book. He said that all his friends knew that any book borrowed from him could not be returned, and the friend who borrowed this book also knew this.
? This is very clear. The person who borrowed his book had no intention of returning it, and got rid of it after reading it.
? In fact, the borrowed books are rarely returned. . I also have a lot of books that have been borrowed, but I was too embarrassed to ask for them, but they haven’t returned them yet. Maybe they have forgotten them or got rid of them. A friend said that when she was in high school. , there was a set of Zhang Ailing's complete works, which a classmate borrowed, and after reading it, he lent it to someone else, and never got it back. She had no choice but to give up because of feelings. Mr. Hu Hongxia's "Night Questions" also had an article about borrowing it from others. Regarding the issue of books not being returned, many book friends have left messages, but the result is the same, that is, most of the borrowed books will never be returned.
I still remember and even regret those lost books. Fortunately for Mr. Dai, he didn't even think about borrowing the book, which saved him the pain of worry.
I once saw a video where Yu Qian was talking about borrowing money. It would be very emotionally damaging to ask for money back, so he never thought about borrowing money from others, and of course no one ever paid it back. This was actually the same situation as borrowing a book.
? Mr. Dai wants to give me his book, and he has to inscribe it and post it. This will disturb his peace and I feel uneasy, but I really want to have a copy of his book that he has inscribed as a gift. After receiving the book, I sent him the address and said some words of thanks. He replied: "You are welcome to meet friends when you come to Beijing."
? Group The "Bingtang Xiaoyuanzi" in the movie is a translator. She said that this thing is incredible and it is really destined. Mr. Hu Hongxia said, it turns out there is another good story tonight, and I am late!
? In fact, the names of people appearing in this article are all authors on my bookshelf. I used to read their works, but now I can communicate like this, and even have a good book relationship. I think it is the most cherished friendship.
