43 The outside world is wonderful

The sky in California is always blue. Such a clear and pleasant blue sky often reminds people of many beautiful and happy things.

"The sunshine here is so good!" Tan Jiabao felt the comfort and coziness brought by the warm sunshine in California as soon as he stepped out of the cabin.

Standing on the land of the most powerful country in the world, he suddenly lifted his spirits, full of indescribable courage and fighting spirit.

Los Angeles means angel, which is a very beautiful and holy name, which is said to be named by Spanish missionaries.But lazy Americans don't think this place is beautiful and sacred. They simply call Los Angeles LA, while people in Hong Kong and Taiwan call it "Luo Province".

The name Luo Province is a bit weird, but calling it "Province" is not too much.As the second largest city in the United States, Los Angeles has an area of ​​nearly 1 square kilometers. In 0, the population of Los Angeles exceeded 1967 million. There are 800 cities in total, and it continues to expand endlessly.

Strictly speaking, Los Angeles does not have a central area.Looking down from the plane, Los Angeles is surprisingly large.But Tan Jiabao and the others could hardly find the familiar big city landscape.It is like a movie, a complex edited from small areas. It is not an urban model like most big cities.

"Ah, it's back again!" Bruce Lee spread his arms in the air, and he said to Tan Jiabao: "I was born in San Francisco, California, and I love this land! I have a martial arts gym in Los Angeles, and Linda also lives in it. There, I believe she will welcome you friends from Hong Kong."

Tan Jiabao was in a very happy mood. He smiled and said, "We will definitely visit. I wonder how my sister-in-law's Chinese food is doing? Did you teach me well? Hehe..."

Bruce Lee shrugged his shoulders and said, "Don't worry, our house is very close to Chinatown, so it's no problem for you to eat your hometown food!"

After leaving the airport, Bruce Lee broke up with them.

This time, Tan Jiabao brought Chu Yuan, Deborah, and Xu Guanwen and Huang Baiming together.He wanted Chu Yuan to get in touch with Hollywood directors, so that he could be inspired to play a greater role in Hong Kong; and for Hui Guanwen and Huang Baiming, Tan Jiabao had particularly high expectations for the two of them, because he knew that both of them were in Hong Kong. He only came to prominence in the 70s, so now the two of them follow him to write scripts.

Tan Jiabao had too many things in his mind, and he couldn't do it alone, so he dictated the story of the movie to them, and then asked them to write the script.In addition, he also knows that both of them have the ability to start their own film companies, but they are still young and need to go through experience.So Tan Jiabao decided to keep the two of them in Hollywood for a while, so that they could learn more here.

They soon saw Tan Xiaozhong and Zheng Dashi walking towards them.

*********

A brand new Buick van is driving slowly in downtown Los Angeles.

The weather in Los Angeles is very good today, and the city is very lively.

Deborah, who was going abroad for the first time, seemed extremely excited. Like a child, she poked her head out of the car window from time to time, feeling overwhelmed by the exotic customs and bustling crowds on the street, and screamed from time to time.

"Why do men in this city look like this? Look, they all have long hair, weird haircuts, and beards of various colors that are uneven in length. Some are smoking cigarettes, and some are holding beer bottles. And some are playing the guitar and singing songs that no one can understand... The most strange thing is their clothes, one is more strange than the other, you see, you see, in such a bright sunshine, that person actually wore them today A raincoat, still playing the harmonica, look, you see that one is even more strange, he wears a woman's corset outside... I...how do I seem to be in a huge circus?" Deborah said about these strange things Phenomenon fuss up.

Tan Jiabao looked at these people on the street sadly, and said lightly: "They are bohemians, also called hippies, and they are a unique product of America in this era. They criticize the government's restriction of citizens' rights and interests, and they hate The greed of big corporations, lamenting the narrowness of traditional morality, and opposing the inhumanity of war. But they can do nothing about these. They can only issue their cries in their peace campaigns and parades; they can only wear flowers in their hair or Distribute flowers to pedestrians, 'put flowers in the barrel of a gun'; they can only express their dissatisfaction with homeless rock music and sad music."

"Oh, I thought they were a bunch of lunatics. I can see from your eyes that you seem to appreciate them and sympathize with them? Are they good people or bad people?" Deborah asked innocently, as if she was a younger sister, and Tan Jiabao is like an older brother.

Tan Jiabao sighed and said: "They belong to...the Beat Generation. This generation not only belongs to China, but also to the United States. In fact, the essence of this generation in the whole world is not much different. They...are actually very pitiful. , This may also be an inevitable product of this era, and they are victims of this era."

Zheng Dashi, who was driving, also shook his head and said, "It's a good thing I met you, otherwise I would also be a part of this 'Beat Generation', and I would stay in that small city wasting time and youth. Alas, You are right, there is no fundamental difference between the generation of the West and the East, they are really confused, they can't see the future of this world clearly. 'The night gave me black eyes, but I use them to find the light .'"

Tan Xiaozhong laughed and said, "I didn't expect Lao Zheng to make great progress in the newspaper office soon, and the poems he recited casually are also extraordinary..."

"Hehe, how can I have this ability. The title of this poem is "A Generation". It is the work of our boss. When it was spread to Hong Kong, even Mr. Jin Yong praised it. But now, I understand it more deeply. The connotation and meaning of this poem have been understood." Zheng Dashi was still filled with emotion.

Tan Xiaozhong didn't say anything else, he looked at Tan Jiabao strangely, but Tan Jiabao's face turned red.

In Beijing in 1966, Tan Jiabao fell into the position of stubborn masters alone.After being fooled by him, the recalcitrants agreed to his "three questions" to resolve their grievances.The first question was drinking, and Tan Jiabao lost in the hands of the little bastard; the second question was a coin toss, and Tan Jiabao narrowly won; the third question was poetry competition, because the stubborn Wang Shan invited the famous index finger.Tan Jiabao defeated Index Finger's "Believe in the Future" with Gu Cheng's "A Generation" and Bei Dao's "Answer".

Therefore, Tan Jiabao reconciled with the naughty master, and became friends with the naughty master and several "veterans" (the first generation of Red Guards) who were present at the time.In this party, Chen Xiaofang played the guitar and sang "Birch Forest" with a rich bourgeois sentiment.It is worth mentioning that the young Gu Cheng also participated in this gathering, and it was the first time that Tan Jiabao's plagiarism met its rightful owner. Fortunately, Gu Cheng's poetry at this time had not yet reached the level of "A Generation" the height of.Therefore, when Zheng Dashi mentioned "A Generation", Tan Jiabao blushed unnaturally.

"Look, look~! There are people parading ahead, and there are so many people in the parade. It seems that not all of them are hippies, and there are women..." Deborah screamed again.

"How many people are there? It's less than 1000 people. We have seen the big gatherings of millions of people. What is this? It's not as large as the parade in our small county town." Zheng Dashi commented on the parade in Los Angeles scoffed.

In Beijing, the great leader met with the Red Guards on many occasions, and Mr. Zheng was no exception.Therefore, for Deborah's exclamation, I feel that she has never seen the world.

"The Cultural Revolution in China, civil rights and anti-war in the United States, general strikes in Europe, tensions in the Middle East, and independence movements in Africa. The current world is really chaotic, but it's quite interesting..." Xu Guanwen interjected.

Zheng Dashi added with a smile: "I also want to add a sentence of 'Hong Kong June [-] riot'. This is what the boss said, and I firmly believe it!"

"This world is indeed very lively, just take the United States, Martin Luther King Jr.'s 'I have a dream' speech, President John F. Destroy America... The 60s, and the following 70s, these two decades are destined to be a complex, profound, serious, and confusing era. Decades later, when we look back on this era, we will complain The harm this era has brought us, or are we glad that we have seized the huge opportunity that is readily available in this era? But, it will always be a small group of people who can seize the opportunity!" Tan Jiabao also looked out the window of the car with anti-war slogans, Shouting anti-war slogans and singing incomprehensible songs, the parade said thoughtfully: "The whole world is turbid and I am alone, and everyone is drunk and I am alone. In fact, this feeling is very tired and uncomfortable... ..."

There was silence in the car, and they more or less understood the emotion of the most amazing child in history.
