Inadvertently, I turned to my father's dusty word card. These cards are the words and materials that my father collected and sorted out when he was doing peritoneal dialysis at home during uremia treatment and stable condition. In this pile of words and pieces of paper, some were written by my father with a pen, and some were written by a ballpoint pen. Each card is carefully written, with neat and meticulous handwriting, compact layout, harmonious and beautiful layout of writing rules and stable and neat spacing between words. From this, we can realize that my father's appreciation of each excerpt comes from the inner generation and also conveys his attitude when reading. Reading is his mental state of overcoming illness, and reading should be a part of his spiritual life.
? On these small pieces of paper 7 cm wide, the extracted words cover poetry couplets, literature, history, philosophy, religious beliefs and folk culture. It can be seen that my father has a large amount of reading, a wide range of interests and a strong thirst for knowledge, which is dwarfed by it. I spent a lot of time brushing my mobile phone to get fragmented reading information today. It's hard to settle down and read carefully. Even if I read a paper book, I won't carefully analyze and extract words to make cards. My reading style and habits are a little poor.
My father loved books and reading all his life. Putting it down is his habit. It is his pursuit, even his life creed, to talk and laugh with great scholars and break up with Ding Bai.
My father loved books all his life, and he almost became obsessed with reading books. For his love of books, I feel that he has obsessive-compulsive disorder. Every book he reads will never be folded in the middle, nor will he open the book upside down during the reading break, or even defile the cover, and the pages will be curled and damaged. When he reads, he doesn't underline and annotate books. Every time he reads wonderful words, he will find a card to extract them. All kinds of bad habits in the process of reading and using books are always scolded by our father. Every time we want to read and use the books collected by my father, we must get his permission to take them away. There are few books on the bookshelf at home, and his heart is like a mirror. He was born with a hobby of reading, buying books like a demon and collecting books like a treasure. His father worked all his life and earned little, but he still loved books, which accompanied his migration and changes.
In that turbulent movement era, the movement to break capitalism swept the country and publications were banned. A large number of literary and artistic works: novels, poems and essays are almost banned nationwide. All kinds of novels, poems of Tang and Song Dynasties and classical literature in Ming and Qing Dynasties were almost sealed and edited. The books on the shelves of Xinhua Bookstore are all works of Marx and Engels, collections of comments, historical and cultural books and literary books, which are hard to buy. My father ventured to put some books published in the Republic of China handed down from his family, such as philatelic magazines, pictorial, religious books, Ba Jin's works and four classical novels. , neatly packed in two big wooden cases, covered with damp-proof tarpaulin, hidden in a friend's cellar. It was not until the situation improved in the early 1980 s that he dared to take two boxes of books home to show. These books are not rare ancient books, but they are really treasures in my father's heart. Father's preference for books, in the reading of primary school students, there is such an article "The Story of Lu Xun's Love for Books", saying that Mr. Lu Xun is a person who loves books as much as his life. Although his father can't compare with Mr. Lu Xun, he can also be called a person who loves books like life!
My father was born in Jinhua Town, Jianchuan County, with a strong style of writing. My mother died when I was a child. My father, a foreign son-in-law, is selfish and has never heard from him. My grandfather has been doing business outside for many years, and his brother and sister live with my grandmother. My grandmother was born in a family named Sha in the ancient city of Dali, and her ancestors' family was fairly well-off. She has been literate since she was a child. She also loves reading and is not good at needlework. Father and aunt lived with grandma since childhood, wrapped their knees around grandma, threw their cheeks into her story meeting, planted songs and stars, and learned the truth about their golden house in the book. My father went to a private school and a new school. When I was a teenager, I participated in the revolutionary reading club, then joined the "People's Youth" organization and collectively participated in the "Border and Vertical Seven Teams". Before my father died, I asked him about this history. Why don't you study hard and join the seventh team? My father always said to me lightly, "It's fun to be partners together." Hearing this, I wisely analyzed: you have been listening to Mrs. A's heroic story since childhood. What about mother-in-law's tattoo and She Taijun's expedition? Sowing the seeds of heroes, we have revolutionary passion. Otherwise, without this heroism and the infection of the feelings of home and country, we would not have this passion and impulse to do business honestly at home. The father replied with a low eyebrow, "That's the truth."
Every time I recall the fragments of my father's reading and loving books before his death, I feel a lot. At present, we can't live without mobile phones all the time. Knowledge information is obtained by swiping a mobile phone, and fragmented information is all over my head. I seldom settle down to read a book systematically, study and think seriously, and self-satisfaction with poetry and books may be a luxury.
