Written when the cumulative reading of the article "Baijiahao" reached one million.
It's not intentionally choreographed. On January 20, 2023, I published a small article "My Wish Has Been Repaid, I Invite You to Appreciate" for the completion of 100 articles of "Memories of Dongkan Old Street" on "Baijiahao".
Today is January 20, 2024, and it coincides with the fact that I have posted a total of 1 million views, which cannot but be said to be another coincidence, and I must start writing some thoughts for the record.
Although I don't know what to write, I first named it "As I Wish, Please Evaluate" and "Invite You to Appreciate" as sister articles, which can also be called the upper and lower collections.
The last episode tells about the creation of "Memories of Dongkan Old Street", the difficulty of completing 100 articles, and the ...... perception of the number 100
In the face of the hope of millions of views, it has become a reality, and the original number of distant hopes has a connection with the humble text, which makes me have a certain association.
Nowadays, people are a little unimpressed with numbers, and they are used to hearing big numbers, and one million must not attract too many people's attention. But if the number of 100 is in 10,000 yuan, it cannot be underestimated.
Thinking about the era of planned economy, a family can raise the whole family with a monthly income of a few tens of yuan, and the use of yuan jiao points is very careful, and everyone has different feelings. Even now, excluding fixed assets such as houses and cars, 1 million is a large number for the general public.
Reading volume should be a concern for every author, and I am no exception. There are too many readings outside the "Baijiahao", but unfortunately there are no detailed statistics. And more people, especially the readers of Dongkan Old Street, know me with my humble writings, and most of them are on Guo Naijun's "Binhai Fengyunlu" and Xu Shuo's "Wise Man is Good at Reading".
Since the article was published on "Baijiahao" in May 2021, from the beginning of two or three thousand to tens of thousands of readings per article, nearly three years can be said to be a short time. Looking at the articles of many famous writers, reading the numbers that are only a few dozen or a few hundred, I deeply realize that it is not easy to reach millions.
Including the attention and support of many sincere love for clumsy micro-friends, including the joint efforts of myself and my family. For this reason, I chased the text at the end, especially many micro-friends who said that they had read it more than once; Thank you to your relatives and friends who have left a message after the article, in the circle of friends and in private chat!
There are numbers, but it is not known how many people have actually read it, and whether they have read it to the end. I also understand that compared with reading articles on mobile phones now, I am afraid that most people will lose a kind of patience. I don't know it, I rarely read other people's articles, even if it is a celebrity's work or a really good article.
In fact, it doesn't make much sense to pay attention to this number. As the saying goes, the article is your own good, although I have heard too many praises, but I want to know everyone's opinion on the shortcomings, which is the actual place of my article title "Please evaluate". I also know that it will take time for my clumsy work to be truly recognized by society.
Although other people's opinions are very important, in fact, they are also their own vanity, and they are just comforted by the hard work they have paid for the sake of good face.
It's easy to figure out everything, although it can't affect me anything, but it's still necessary to review my past and shortcomings.
Writing was a thing I didn't dare to think of, but since the end of 2016, I had a whim, opened the memory floodgates, and released it in "Binhai Fengyunlu", which was called "the most complete record of Lao Dongkan Street in history" by the editor, and was successively "Binhai **", "Binhai History", "Binhai Past", "Old Road" and so on.
Since May 2021, a total of 102 articles have been published in "Memories of Dongkan Old Street", including Dadesheng Pharmacy, Fudong Lane, Yushikou, Old Post Office, Xinhua Bookstore, ......It describes the three streets, three bridges, and three schools in Laodongkan; People's Theater, Cinema, Lighting Stadium, TV Station Culture Tetralogy, Eight Companies, Ten Societies, Eighteen Episodes of Old Street Market, etc.
The shops and customs of the streets and alleys mentioned in the article can be said to cover all aspects; The literati and gentlemen, celebrities and gentry mentioned in the article can be said to be varied. Pang Youlan, Li Dunfu, Pang Xueqin; Tai Liu's father, who sells spiced broad beans along the street, and Tan Blind, a fortune teller; Even the famous beggars Wang Xiaozi and Zhu Fengying in the old street have narrated. Although the content is not fully covered, it has been recognized by too many Laojie people because it is not compiled out of thin air.
I have read the humble article, especially those who have had the same experience, saying that they are back in the past; It also allowed non-Lao Dongkan people to have a general understanding of the old street and complete their original intention.
Known as the "living dictionary" of Dongkan Old Street, he was hired as a member of the 14th CPPCC Cultural and Historical Committee of Binhai County, and was invited to participate in the historical research and planning of the old Dongkan.
Because everyone's age and experience are different, even if it is the same thing, there will be differences in memory and perception. The chronicle of the old street is extensive and large, and it is impossible to tell all of them all. Regarding Lao Dongkan, there will be people who say that there is something that has not been written, ** has not been said, and more may not be ...... uninteresting
Because of the limited level and energy, the lack is not even wrong, please forgive the readers and micro-friends!
"Traveling with Rong Qian" is another piece of content that I am posting. He has published a foreign trip to Europe (10 episodes) to describe the first foreign trip to France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Austria, and saw the customs of Europe. The Vatican, another country within a country, is small, but it has opened my eyes to ...... unbelievable if I don't see it in person
We cannot deny the essence of European classical culture, and we should learn from Westerners to protect the inheritance of the classics. Not to mention how round the moon is in Europe, but the environmental protection of the environment, I was deeply touched by the trip to Europe. Some people say that they have read my travelogue as if they have accompanied me, and a little exaggerated evaluation makes me panic, but what is it is still the title of the article "Please evaluate".
Naturally, there are deficiencies in the text, because the knowledge is shallow, especially the broad and profound, it cannot reach the height of complete understanding. The narrative is superficial, and the narrative that Europe does not use chemical fertilizers must be wrong ......
wrote a travelogue to Hong Kong and Macao, how could Taiwan be missing. Also because of the decisiveness of going to Europe, I also have a record of overseas travel (10 episodes) in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and I have been looking forward to the return of the wanderer since I was sensible and enjoyed the great rivers and mountains of the motherland.
My trip to Russia and Thailand (20 episodes) allowed me and Tang to appreciate the customs and customs of countries with completely different climates and personalities, and what we saw and heard deepened our understanding of various social systems.
Thailand's royal family, the luxury of the Grand Palace, the first climate, soft sand, and ...... different customsRussia has a vast land, a militant national spirit, numerous onion-topped Orthodox churches, Red Square, the Kremlin ......We were impressed.
I don't know whether it was a blessing or a regret, just as we were returning from a trip to Russia, the new crown epidemic happened, which interrupted our planned trip abroad.
I am often teased by my daughter and say, Dad, you can't go out. Notre Dame Cathedral, which I visited, was burned down by fire not long ago; I have been to Russia, there has been a Russian-Ukrainian conflict, and travel stops on its own; I have been to Taiwan and have a bond, but now I have encountered temporary difficulties ...... going again
Everything seems to have become mine, but I am very proud to say this, isn't this the rhythm and luck of being one step ahead?
There are foreign travel and overseas travel, and domestic travel must be indispensable. Because he and his family Tang Guiqian have the same hobby of traveling, and they have been to many places because of their work. Beijing, Shanghai, Su Xichang, Hangzhou, Jinan, Shijiazhuang; The northwest slope of Mount Tai and Yellow Mountain, Bohai Bay of West Dihong Village; Haikou Sanya Tianya, Kunming Dali Lijiang City ......
There are few records of the places I have been, but I attended my nephew's wedding and went to Datong and Pingyao in Shanxi, traveled to Dalian and Lushun in Liaoning with my daughter and granddaughter, and the old couple traveled to Anji, Zhejiang together, and the 18-episode chronicle filled the gap in domestic travel.
Friends who have a hobby of travel are inquiring, and you can evaluate! Re-reading the travelogue feels deeper, and if you enable voice recitation, you can say that you can revisit it as if you were the same place and enjoy it again.
Unforgettable Chronicle is my main post in 2023, writing about my life from childhood to retirement for many years. There is hard work and leisure, there is pain and joy, there is pay and gain, there is bitterness but more happiness ......
Use the platform to boldly expose yourself, aiming to record most of your life's experiences. It doesn't matter if the file is right or wrong, it can be regarded as a voice for future generations to comment.
The 51 episodes of the chronicle show off, self-blame and self-blame, and even offend people. I have regretted it, but I have done it, and there is no need to make corrections against my personality.
I still have to answer some questions from WeYou. Many people care that if they write so much content, they must be paid a lot of money? I will tell you seriously, I never write for profit, I am really afraid that if I don't leave something to remember, I am afraid that I will lose some of the remnants of my ancestors.
Any boxing art painting ......Stained with the word "money", there must be a smell of copper. Could it be that standing and talking does not have back pain, and he has a fixed retirement income, and only this month's pension calculation adjustment has also increased the number of Olympic rings? I'm not bad for money and I don't need much money, and I don't need that non-existent even if I have a little remuneration.
Many people persuaded me to sort out the book, but in fact, the memories and unforgettable chronicles of Lao Cai all come from my personal autobiography "Walking through the Hurried Years". It's not difficult to write a book, but what copyright, ISBN ......There was so much trouble that I was a little daunted.
The excerpt was reprinted in the newspaper, which was a paper memorial, and at the same time gave me an excuse for being lazy. Whether you can take a step forward in the future depends on the mood and situation.
The content of nearly a million words makes everyone a little tired of reading, and it is inevitable that there will be something missing. The quality of the article cannot be said, but I am very pleased to think that the cumulative number of "Baijiahao" has reached one million.
In a few days, the Lunar New Year is coming, and I will give you a New Year's greeting in advance, just like last year, thank you for your strong support for the clumsy work! I wish you all a smooth work, good health and a happy family!
With the homonym of 2222 words in many of my articles, I wish everyone a good year of the dragon!
