City memory?

In Deyang, it is well known to mention cockfighting babies.

At that time, the cockfighting baby opened a white-sprayed color expansion shop in front of the Confucian Temple. The advertisement in the color expansion shop is different-the main advertisement picture is a charming woman with a smiling cockfighting baby head hanging around her neck and a Nikon camera bigger than her head in the V-shaped hand.

Below the main screen are photos of the cockfighting baby Kodak fast color printing shop and Fuji image service department. The cockfighting baby openly stepped on two boats, and the momentum was extraordinary. Such an exaggerated and creative advertisement has become a hot spot in Beijing since its opening.

Wang Qingguo, a disabled shoeshine in Anxian County, is only 1. 1 m tall. After seeing Wang Qingguo at Luofushan Hot Spring in Anxian County, Dou Jiwa took Wang Qingguo to Deyang and changed her name to "Guo Qiwa". A big umbrella was held for him at the door of the color TV shop, and his shoes were polished.

Ding Da, a friend of the cockfighting baby, also wrote a slogan: "My name is Guo Wa, and I am two feet eight. I am twenty-three years old and I don't laugh. " Shoe shoes as a foster mother, thank you very much. "-when the advertisement came out, there was a long line of shoeshine people in front of the booth.

Shoe shine can't last forever. Later, the cockfighting baby changed Guo Wa's face into a pocket security guard in front of the colorful film shop, wearing children's clothes and fake batons. Passers-by all laughed and found it very interesting. The whole city knows about Guo Wa of Dudou Baby Color Amplification Store.

Today, Guo Wa has done a job in Guangdong that is much more fun than "security guard" for shoeshine.

The white-sprayed dry cleaner for cockfighting babies is the first in Beijing. The guest of honor of the grand and extraordinary opening ceremony is not a politician, businessman tycoon or literary celebrity, but the most ordinary and respectable person in this city-the old mother of the cockfighting baby.

The real name of the cockfighting baby is Chen Shi, who was born in Luojiang. Cockfighting homophonic bean chicken, Luojiang's specialty is bean chicken. In Sichuan dialect, the word cockfighting baby refers to a child or young man who is not tall, smart and likes pranks.

The cockfighting baby in life is short in stature, smart in brain and particularly loud in voice. Wearing suspenders all the year round, with split heads and beards. Wearing a melon skin (on the stage) is different. There are many proverbs, so you should rhyme. Where there is a cockfighting baby, there is joy, so he took a nickname "cockfighting baby", just like the skin that grows on him.

He is short and strong, which is given by his parents. No matter how he does farm work, he is definitely not good at it. At that time, his brothers and sisters all went to the countryside to be educated youth. Whether it is bitter or tired, his parents see it in their eyes and it hurts in their hearts. When it was his turn to graduate from primary school, his parents resolutely refused to let him make the same mistake. Finally, Chen Shi was sent to the newly established collective ownership group Deyang Quyi Troupe.

Quyi Troupe had not formally enrolled students at that time. After the cockfighting baby went in, it became a student who was not a student. He was fourteen years old that year.

After several years in Quyi Troupe, the cockfighting baby who can only play slingshots and mud learned to play and sing. Although I still can't read the score, I can't hear the amateur feeling when I played instrumental music with the ability of "listening to the wind".

According to the cockfighting baby, if you play, who says you must be able to read music?

Baby cockfighting dabbles in a wide range, and is proficient in photography, performance and playing the piano. Later, he appeared in movies, TV series and dramas, and once worshipped Shen Fa, a master of humor, as a teacher.

Baby cockfighting once held a big stage for the people in Deyang, saying it was a big stage, but it was actually a group of people who engaged in instrumental music. There is a small platform at the entrance of the new world of the Confucian Temple, and the banner of "People's Stage" is pulled at the entrance of the platform. However, at ordinary times, it is more often to pull a circle at the gate of Nanjie Confucian Temple at night to give free performances to the public. The cockfighting baby is the director and host himself, and also works as an erhu part-time, which makes a lot of noise.

From 1974 to 1980, Chen Shi was a student for six years. After the dissolution of Quyi Troupe, Chen Shi was assigned to Luojiang Cultural Station as a waiter, drinking tea and running errands. Chen Shi said, fun! Where is the fun? Shouting fun: "Well, Uncle Zhang gave you the tea money!" "Uncle Wang's tea money ball is handed in here!"

Chen Shi, a little man, can't stop wearing it when he goes in and out of the old teahouse. It's fun for others to watch.

Teahouses are fun, so later Chen Shi joined hands with others to open a "Cockfighting Teahouse" in the Confucian Temple, which is the rhythm of his own play.

Not only is it fun to open a teahouse, but the signboard is also fun. The words "Cockfighting Baby Teahouse" are not meant for calligraphers to start work, but for Chen Shi to grasp the knife himself. But at the primary school level, it is not so easy to play calligraphy, so the word "cockfighting baby" is written in three points, the word "chicken" is half complicated and simple, and the word "baby" is a little more-all three words are not written correctly. It wasn't unintentional to write this, but Chen Shi found out that he wouldn't change, and publicly claimed that it was written by a calligrapher in the province, which scared some people who wrote calligraphy. Seeing this scene, the cockfighting baby happily rolled behind his back, even calling it fun.

Many Deyang people remember that in the eastern suburb of the city, there was an exquisite small courtyard built by the mountain, named "Qiaowoju". It belongs to the first private folk museum in this city, and its collection is not unusual. In the middle of the hall, there is a bronze statue of an old woman. This is the mother of a cockfighting baby. She is still alive.

In the private folk museum, there are large-scale gold-plated Guanyin, carved big beds in Ming and Qing Dynasties, furniture, tables and chairs, various film projectors and anti-aircraft guns for machinery, seven-story gray pottery pagodas for ceramics and exquisite folk figures.

The cockfighting baby's car is also very different, either a hatchback Fukang is converted into a racing version to pull the wind all over the city, and the mouth of the car that is often touched is crooked and cracked; Either tires 10 cm mini motorcycles run all over the street, which is very funny; Later, I simply drove the RV and posted my own cartoons to show off the city.

CCTV's "Jianbao" column came to Deyang, and the cockfighting baby presented a clay sculpture of "sending his son to the goddess" to show his identification. The host asked, what is your biggest collection in my life? Answer: Simei!

The experts were stunned by the words. Which four are they? But it's not the four beauties in the story of Diexin. The first one is a mother, the second is a wife, the third is a daughter and the fourth is a granddaughter. Laughing all over the scene, I realized that I had met a comedian.

Now, the Zhouye Wenchuang Garden, which was transformed from Deyang's old factory building, has not been officially opened, but there is amazing news: the folk collector Dojiwa took the initiative to come to the door and said that she would donate all the collections she had painstakingly accumulated over the past 30 years to this emerging urban Wenchuang Garden.

Full of artistic flavor, young and fashionable, the Huache Axis Cultural and Creative Park is about to open, and all the collections of cockfighting will eventually return to the society, so that more people can see it and reach the highest level of collectors.

Perhaps one day, children will come to Wenchuang Garden to visit the cockfighting collection and feel the beating cultural pulse of this city. The teacher will tell them that this place represents the struggle and pursuit of all dream catchers in this city, and they have created the glory and prosperity of this city.

Perhaps each of us is the shaper and participant of urban cultural spirit. As long as there is love and hope in our hearts, every article we write, every painting we draw and every good thing we do at hand are constructing the unique temperament and spirit of this city.
