My childhood
Mentioned of childhood, always make people some yearning, whether childhood life is happy, is sad, people always feel that is the most profound part of life. There are many impressions, many habits, deeply engraved on his personality and temperament, and affect his life.
So much of my childhood has been unconsciously described in so many fragmentary words, that when Rose raised the subject with me, I felt interested and began to write with pleasure.
Middle-aged people, reluctant to say more emotional words, although the memories are full of tearful smiles, I only sketched out my childhood environment and training, as well as everything left over from my hobbies or habits, perhaps some parents would like to use for reference.
My father was an admiral, in good health, and I never remember him lying in his sickbed; My grandfather, who was also in good health, died at the age of eighty-six. My mother is very thin, often have a headache, vomiting blood, the symptoms of vomiting blood, I also get, not tuberculosis, but lung gas shoots purplish, overfatigue or worry, will attack - so my childhood memories of the mother, is a very gentle, quiet woman, not for work, is reading a book, her life is very calm.
Although mother said, WHEN I can vomit milk, I have vomited blood. In my childhood, I have never had any seizures and I do not remember having any serious illness at that time. I was in good health and lively in spirit. Therefore, during the seven or eight years when I was living in Chou, I was more my father's child than my mother's daughter.
My mother had two older brothers before me, both of whom died at birth. I've got a dead sister underneath me. My eldest brother is six years younger than me. I was an only child in my family before my eldest brother was born.
The environment of my childhood, as a "wild child", not a girl's breath. Our home was always near a naval barracks or naval school. I had no companions of my own age, I had not played with dolls, I had not learned to sew, I had not painted, I had not worn bright clothes, I had not worn flowers.
On the other hand, because of my mother's infirmity and the calmness of the family, I stayed with my father all day and took part in his work and activities, gaining experience that even ordinary men could not get. For all convenience, I always wear men's clothes and military uniform. My parents called me "brother" and my younger brothers called me "elder brother" until I forgot myself.
When my father was at work, I was often taken out, and I followed flags, forts, navy docks, powder magazines, dragon Temple. My companions were the men repairing guns, the disabled soldiers guarding powder depots, the sailors and high-ranking officers of the army. Most of them came from Shandong. They were kind and simple. Sometimes we met farmers and fishermen and talked about their daily life in the mountains and on the sea. Apart from my mother and the wives of my father's colleagues, there were hardly any women in sight.
After the age of four, she began to read. When I was six or seven, I was at home with my Cousins. They were four or five years older than me, and still had no place to play, so I often walked alone to the mountains and the sea. It was a very familiar environment, and EVERY piece of grass, stone, sand and foam felt infinitely friendly to me. I often walk alone on the sandy bank. When the tide comes in, it seems that the world and heaven are floating! When the tide receded, it was as if the shore and I were sucked away! The childish heart always palpates at this kind of greatness. At dusk, when the bugle of rest sounded and the four hills echoed, the sound was bleak and strong, and the familiar tone made me want to cry inexplicably. I did not feel "stuffy", but "small".
Because there was no playmate, I learned to read at a very young age, and got a habit of "good reading, not understanding". My teacher loves me very much and often teaches me to recite some poems, which I can appreciate very much if I don't understand them. For example, that "before see the ancients, after see the newcomers, read heaven and earth long, alone sorrowful and TEARS." I often recite it silently when I stand on the top of the mountain.
The nearest city to us was Yantai. My father sometimes took me there to go to banquets, visit the Temple of the Heavenly Queen, or to the opera. Father did not like to listen to opera, because at that time I was watching the "Three Kingdoms", father went to the theater to play to me, such as "Grass boat borrow arrows", "gathering of heroes", "Huarong Road" and so on. I was very happy to see characters from books stepping on the stage, even though I didn't understand the words of the play. So I still do not hate Beijing Opera, and I like to listen to the beard, painted face, black opera.
As I grew older, I learned some delicate mischief. My toys evolved from shovels and sand buckets to cricket POTS and kites. I collected beautiful pebbles
