My friend Guo Chunbai said that one year he went to Bijie College of Education to look for me, Zhang Tao and I invited him to drink, and then asked a few girls to ask him to go dancing, but he could not dance, sat for a night. This is more than twenty years ago, the specific details have long been forgotten, but at that time in Bijie College of Education, we 95 Chinese majors cool dance, is still unforgettable.
This reminds me of many things about dancing.
In Bijie College of Education, we dance in several places. College ballroom, opened in the cafeteria on the second floor, facilities are simple but wide - as if every other week open; the street ballroom, Paramount, small world, seven-color ballroom, Songshan ballroom, etc., have been, but we most often go to the Paramount ballroom and seven-color ballroom; and there is a certain classroom in our teaching building, men and women to get together a bunch of people to put the We had a group of men and women who lined up the desks and chairs in the classroom to the side and set up a tape recorder, and then we could dance. We nine five Chinese people, the class is a ladder classroom, dancing can not dance, so we often borrow other professional classroom dance, which involves more people, jumping jumping impact on the big, so that our ancient literature teacher Mr. Xie Dusheng severely criticized a meal.
Mr. Xie Dusheng learned, rigorous, Bijie College of Education graduates, a mention of him, still respect. One day before class, Mr. slowly swept us a glance, said: "Gentlemen, which is the hard work of the great years of study, do not work hard, do not read properly to learn, but all day drinking and dancing karaoke, this is really the world's style, how can I face it." All learned, have the bones of the gentleman, more or less will have some with the world of life out of tune with the fetish it. We had heard many of Mr. Xie's stories before, and were already amazed, but when we heard him say this, some people complained in whispers below, saying that Mr. Xie himself could not dance, and therefore could not allow us to dance either. Because it is a ladder classroom, even the first row, from the podium is relatively far, I believe that our discussion Mr. can not hear, but Mr. a slap on the table, stood up and burst out: "Some students think that I do not know how to dance, I don't know how to dance, so I don't like to see you dance. I tell you, dancing is nothing. I don't want to dance, I don't care to dance. Otherwise, what's your one, three, four, bang, bang, fork, what's that? Is it as difficult to understand as the Book of Poetry? Is it as hard to understand as "Chu Ci"? Hm, one, two, three, four banging fork fork, gentlemen which ...... "Mr. hate iron is not steel, and later even to the heartache, the class of seventy-two students, have a sense of his heart, one by one began to hold their breath, sit upright, Mr. began his lecture.
Mr. stern, learning naturally can not be left behind, but the dance is still to dance, not to mention our psychology teacher, Ms. Huang Daling, is not opposed to our dance. Ms. Huang said, she not only dance first-class, and the hands of the feeling is particularly sensitive, for example, she bought bean sprouts, said to buy half a catty, as long as the hand grabbed, put on the scale, absolutely no more, no less. This remark later aroused my great interest in psychology. Anyway, Ms. Huang encouraged us to ask her to dance. In that huge college ballroom on the second floor of the cafeteria, accompanied by a soothing and light-hearted musical piece, I saw Ms. Huang, wearing a long black dress, dancing with Ms. Chi Chung, an English major, one moment leisurely in the east, the next moment fluttering in the west. Then I was reminded of a music folk song: "In the south of the river, lotus can be picked, and lotus leaves are in the fields! Fish play among the lotus leaves. Fish play with lotus leaves east, fish play with lotus leaves west, fish play with lotus leaves south, fish play with lotus leaves north." Because I am ashamed that my skills are not as good as others, so until graduation, I did not dare to ask Mr. Huang to dance on a song.
The college always has more boys and fewer girls, so it was easy for us to get into the ballroom, but difficult to find a partner. We will coincidentally turn our attention to the outside of the school, the teacher's college, nursing school, agricultural school, financial school, teacher's college, are we invited to dance partner's place, which in the meantime, go to the most to be counted in the nursing school. Every weekend, the boys of the College of Education in groups to run to the School of Health, a time of great spectacle, as the countryside to catch the market, we jokingly referred to as "catching the School of Health". I also rushed to the school, and found a little girl from Jinsha as a dance partner, danced a few times, and then she wanted to give me a tie, I did not want it, at that time I was still trapped in the fracture zone of an emotional earthquake can not be extricated, and so the matter did not go on. In the winter of 1996, at a meeting organized by Highland Magazine, I noticed two girls from the teacher's college, one named Cai Wen, with long hair from Jinsha, and the other named Zhang Ju, with short hair from Weijin. I went to the teacher's college and prepared to ask them to dance. That day Cai Wen was not there, met Zhang Ju, I sat with her on the grass outside the teacher's college for a while, I remember that I showed her a few of my poems, as for what I said, I can't remember now, I just feel that from the beginning to the end of the she did not have the slightest intention of willing to dance with me, and I would not have the confidence and courage to send out invitations. This is nothing to say, but last October, go to Zijin to participate in a novel writing training course organized by the Municipal Writers' Association, during which there is a person called Zhang Ju, beautiful, long hair, déjà vu, I can not guess whether she was the year that teacher's college of the Zhang Ju, I was going to ask a question, but then thought, so have not been able to understand, is not it also very beautiful? So until today, I still can't tell whether this Zhang Ju is his Zhang Ju. I remember later in the WeChat group we also chatted a few sentences, but I always a sentence did not ask, and she also always a sentence did not mention, wonderful!
The last semester, I met my last dance partner in Bijie. She is also a health school, and I neighboring counties, here I have to hide her name, because in July 1997, we in front of the Bijie College of Education soccer stadium, cried the whole night. In fact, we understood early, after graduation, I want to go back to my county, she wants to go back to her county, as a child of a poor family, at that time, not to mention the two counties, even the same county farther apart in two townships, are the end of the world. I remember about because of the last name Tang, perhaps also because the mouth is sweeter, she and her good friends in the school of health, are uniformly called me sugar jar, as for what I call her, I do not say. Their school graduated a few days earlier than we did, she said: sugar canister, what do you say? I don't know, I sent her to the soccer field in front of the college, and we walked along the track around the field, and then walked again. That night we envisioned all kinds of possibilities after graduation, but every possibility was mercilessly blocked by reality, and finally we came to the conclusion that the only possibility was to break up. The only way to get to the top of the list is to go to the top of the list, and then go to the top of the list, and then go to the top of the list.
Later, I went to Guizhou Institute of Education for further study, I still love dancing. At that time, Guiyang has a lot of ballroom, most of the ballroom tickets are three dollars, because often go to the red rose ballroom, I simply go to the wholesale dance tickets, one hundred and fifty dollars a hundred, and sometimes you can get some complimentary coupons. So many nights, we were in groups of ten or eight in the ballroom. There were two classes in the Chinese Department at our level, one day class and one night class. I was in the night class, which usually had the day off, or worked and studied, and had classes from 7:00 to 10:30 at night. For a while, I spent more money on dance tickets than I did on meal tickets, and my classes were delayed so much that I was really incorrigible. The good thing is that later I finally put Guiyang Health School of a Weining girl jumped into my wife, twenty years, although no great wealth, but until today, both of our parents are still alive and well, our small family is also children, can also be considered to be the fruit of the matter.
Today, there is no dance hall on the street, young people are mixed in the concert hall bar nightclubs, middle-aged and old people are busy with square dancing, so often think of those who were dancing. My friend Guo Chunbai asked me if I still remember the names of the girls who danced back then. Of course, I remember it, and can even say, not only remember ...... but the thought of more than twenty years time has slipped away, can not help but a sigh of sigh, and then said: Alas, do not mention it, we are old.
