Who can stick dragonflies now?
Interesting stories of childhood
can you stick dragonflies? It is to use the leftover material of the cut red bicycle inner tube, which is rubber, boil it in a pot, or burn it directly on the fire, burn or boil until it is just right, the color is brown, it feels as sticky as glue, and it works very well. apply it to the tip of a long pole, and then you can go outside to stick to the dragonfly, which is motionless on the treetops, or cicadas, preferably on transparent wings. Once stuck, the dragonfly or cicada (Beijing is called "jade bird") will not be able to run away and will be taken down obediently.
after writing this paragraph, I feel particularly guilty, because I don't know, 1, whether anyone is interested, 2, how many people will think that dragonflies can stick, 3, how many people realize that dragonflies can be used as playthings, 4, how many people think that there are enough dragonflies for children to go hunting, 5, how many people know that the inner tubes of bicycles are red, 6, How many people will think that it is mentally normal to boil a bicycle tube in a pot. 7, the huge intergenerational difference makes people think that I am miserable.
to be honest, I have no idea how you might react. I'm just trying to write about this particularly impressive memory when I was in primary school. If you think: what is this tm, then you can all put it on the account of the times, not on my account, because as a child at that time and now as an adult, my spirit is quite normal.
at that time, the hutong was full of children gluing dragonflies, and now I don't think it's miserable.
time and place person: the time is in the late 1970s and early 1980s, specifically only a few years. The location is the hutong in Beijing. The characters are Zhao Liming and me. I was in the first grade of primary school on September 1, 1978. I studied in Fuxue Primary School. Yes, it is now said that if you were not lucky enough to be born in this school district, it would cost millions to get into the so-called "famous school" on the Eastside. ~)
Zhao Liming was also in the "fifth grade" of Fu Primary School at that time. That is to say, Zhao Liming's group of people is too large for a fifth grade, and the group that enrolls in the spring is called the "fifth grade". Zhao Liming is from Hebei. He always has fried beans in his pocket, takes them out, and puts them into his mouth to chew. There is the legacy of Vice-Chairman Lin. What is the legacy of Vice-Chairman Lin? I'm too lazy to explain. In short, I found that as long as the interval of 10 or 20 years, the earth people can be more separated than the Martians. In short, Vice-Chairman Lin was a bad guy when I can remember. Zhao Liming has a Hebei accent. For example, eating that fried bean is called "eating daiuer", which is three times. I also went to a high degree of imitation, asking my mother to put fried beans in my pocket and "eat dauer" outside. Zhao Liming only took me to stick dragonfly for about two or three years, that is, two or three summer vacations. Every time I spend a summer vacation with him, I turn into a Hebei accent.

later, he was unable to learn, saying that he had a "brain pain" when reading a book, but it didn't hurt when gluing dragonflies. So his father, a worker from the countryside in Hebei, where we lived, beat him. Then he soon became a young man, not tall enough to work as a boiler worker, and he hadn't seen him since.
as for me, I went on studying all the way. You know, I've always been this nerd, and I'm interested in talking about sticking to dragonflies.
later, I went to middle school and my family moved to the building. I knew that there was a movie star of the same age in Hong Kong named Dawn. But my first reaction is always to think of Zhao Liming, who clings to dragonflies. In English, add the article, "The dawn", just as the movie "Aung San Suu Kyi" is called "The Lady". )
until now, when I saw a dragonfly, my first reaction was to stick it. But now there are too few dragonflies. Back in those days, the hutong was full of hovering dragonflies. There are also how many dragonflies there are in the bushes outside me when I go swimming.
it's been twenty years since I've never seen an inner tube of a bicycle. Do you dare to ride a bike on the streets of Beijing now? But I think until now, once you show me the red bicycle tube, the first thing that comes to mind is to boil glue in the corner of Zhao Liming's illegal kitchenette (that is, a shed made of bricks for cooking). How hard we were at that time! I remember that once when the stock of glue and inner tubes were gone, we went to the bicycle shop in Beixinqiao, picked up a large section from the ground, and secretly tried to take it away, which led to thunderstorm adults scolding and fleeing for their lives in a hurry! About the car shop, in case you don't understand, please kindly explain: the bicycle tire is punctured and leaked, and it needs to be mended, and the tire will be mended with leftovers. So there are bits and pieces in the garage. )
and every time we boil glue, we attract scolding in the yard, because it is said that the smell is too smelly!
I always say "we", which is me and Zhao Liming. Actually? I am a fool. I have never stuck to a dragonfly, nor can I cut rubber or boil glue. Zhao Liming is doing it alone. I can't even find that the dragonflies that stand still are all sharp-eyed Zhao Liming.
and when it comes to the pole that sticks to the dragonfly, you certainly don't understand. This is not a wooden pole or bamboo pole, but a pole that comes down from the big broom that swept the street in the past, neither soft nor hard, the jade tree facing the wind, swaying in the wind, and the dragonfly does not feel disobedient.
in the summer afternoon, cicadas are shouting everywhere, the scorching sun is in the sky, holding glued poles, appear in the hutong, that is how happy feeling wow! I just take it for a moment. The real expert is Zhao Liming. To this day, I still feel inferior, that is to say, I can't see a tree several meters high. Where the target dragonfly is, it won't stick. But Zhao Liming will give me the dragonfly he glued down to play with. We usually pinch off the dragonfly's tail, poke a match into the body, light it, and then when it is about to burn to the dragonfly's chest, it will fly. It looks so cruel now.
well, this is the north of President Hua's "I can rest assured that you do things" at the beginning of the reform and opening up. Jing, it's not the summer of Kijiro in Japan, okay? There is no soundtrack for Nagashi.
but still, it's part of my happy childhood. To this day, I still remember the anatomy of the dragonfly, the head, eyes, legs, chest, and wings of the dragonfly, as well as the feeling of the various parts.
Yes, I also watched Charlotte's net, Education of Love, and Kato's White apron and White Goat, which you haven't seen before, but I also followed Zhao Liming to stick to the dragonfly.
