The above is a Weibo-style composition with less than 140 words. For most of my life, I have used more pens than I remember. But the pen written in this essay is by no means a general reference, but only a memorial to one of them.
Coincidentally, it is the love in my heart.
This is a very ordinary pen. Changhong brand, light blue plastic pen body, white metal pen cap, small bag mouth is pure gold. It was purchased from Huangtupu Supply and Marketing Cooperative in the spring of 1988 at the price of 19.2 yuan. Twenty-six years have passed, and I still remember all this clearly, because three things happened that year. A little thing, the son was born; Two major events, one is to meet a close friend He Xiaoxiao at the county group meeting, and the other is to invite back a teacher who is attached to the word.
My first writing teacher was this Changhong brand pen. Since I had it, I really have a spiritual understanding of the word "handy".
The so-called handy, should be divided into two steps. The first step is to "win people's hearts", which is the foundation, or condition. And this foundation or condition must be mutual. Take me and this Changhong brand pen for example. I predict its heart. It will know my heart, and it will not merge until it achieves the purpose of selflessness and communication. You have me, I have you, and you are one. The second step is to "take over". This is the result, or the ultimate goal. Such results and goals are also the expectations of both sides. I hold it, it holds me, hands embrace, all is silent. This kind of cooperation maintained by loyalty sends an absolutely unique signal.
I didn't look up the idiom dictionary, and I don't know how the relevant experts and scholars interpret the idiom "handy". But I only believe in myself, because this is the example of teacher Changhong, and I am convinced.
Last night, I enjoyed the calligraphy works of famous local artists Zhi Gang, Lin Jing and Hong Gui at Qidong Forum in my hometown, which was very good. However, if I let them write with my changhong pen, I dare say they will lack courage and find no use. Some fierce horses are often seen in TV dramas. If a stranger rides it, no matter how high your riding skill is, it will always fall to the ground. My Changhong pen is such a fierce horse. When I wrote articles with it for a year or two, the golden pen mouth has been worn off and turned into a sharp knife. Sometimes someone occasionally uses it to write a few words that I put on my desk, and they all encounter the embarrassment of being rejected. Either you can't write ink, or you can cut paper, or your brushwork is dull. In short, this is an annoyance. There is nothing you can do but sigh here and here. So everyone who has used it will tell me 100% how you can use such a broken pen every day. A face of doubt, a face of regret, makes me feel hate iron not to produce.
However, my shame always flashes by. I said I would try. Fortunately, every time it comes to my hand, its performance is absolutely first-class. Don't deliberately choose, let alone try to figure it out. As soon as I hold it, the nib is the best writing interface, and the smooth and smooth situation is ready to go.
People miss people and things, and there are always reasons to miss them. Now, I miss a pen because of its personality. In today's desire, people with personality are rare, and things with personality are unimaginable. I like the personality of my pen. It is loyal and does not follow the crowd. Angular, not smooth, emotional. These qualities should belong to people, but most people have lost them. It's really shameful to let a pen bear the burden at last.
Even more impressive is that. For the lost personality, there is not only no regret, but also disgust and even disgust. For example, people who have tried this Changhong pen always sincerely advise them to throw away the broken pen and buy a good one. My mouth is awkward, but my heart is sneering. Do you know what "good" means? Right is good. The more beautiful and expensive the inappropriate ones are, the more likely they are to hurt each other. Only the right ones will make us understand each other and complement each other. For me, this Changhong pen is the most suitable and even the only one now. When commenting on a good hand, people often say "a little like a peach and a knife", although my Changhong "broken pen" is not a writing brush. But in my hand, it is very effective as a brush. What's even more amazing is that his strokes can be thick or thin, with the thick reaching millimeter level and the thin hair. Moreover, virtual pens often appear in the transportation process of pens. I like writing, but I have never practiced it, and I have never deliberately read the copybook. However, the handwriting at that time was widely appreciated, and I have to say that my Changhong pen contributed a lot.
