My mother-in-law took a lot of second-hand goods from my sister and children, but I still think she should have them.

Chapter I Family

childhood

I remember I didn't live with my parents when I was a child. Ah! Many people will say it's impossible, but it just happened to me that you are familiar with. Then I can only use the past tense now (my brother's tone is full of helplessness)! Without that bitterness (my brother smiled at himself unconsciously), there would be no unhappiness. But (brother paused) it is still a bit "stalk". Although young people nowadays should not care too much about their past. However, speaking of my childhood. . . Really, Leslie Cheung didn't have as many people who loved him as others thought in his childhood, so he could throw toys everywhere. Because I don't have any toys at all, I remember playing a little when I was a child, but not much. Ah. . . The most precious thing is a tricycle. It's a small bike with a jingling bike. Ah. . . . My son is in Wan Chai. He was my son when I was a child. This is a foreign building. I still have my mother-in-law, two workers, and a group of brothers and sisters. We should live together. Because I am ten years old. I used to know many classmates, born more than five years ago, and there are more than a dozen in every family. My family is a middle-class family (my brother can't stop laughing when he talks). The output is really good (laughs) but I don't know about the quality! Where's dad? He is a famous man who makes foreign clothes. Mom, I married him early in the morning and gave birth to these children! My mother is helping my father with some secretarial work. My father was not born in a rich family, but he is also called self-made. Many people in the foreign clothing industry respect him very much! Then I listed a bunch of famous stars, so at that time my father had a foreigner named tailor Wang. (Brother said, he said to himself, "What an old-fashioned name, the tailor king, just like foreigners. However, these have little influence on my childhood, and the biggest influence on me is that I didn't live with my parents when I was a child. That will make a child who has no parents very frustrated. The reason is very simple. Adults are selfish (wow, such a small child has this idea, which means that this child must be precocious than other children, and he thinks whatever he thinks from a psychological point of view). I heard that my father (paused) likes women very much. (Involuntary smile) My father and mother have two floors in a unit in Central, one for their own living and the other for a factory. I didn't live with us because I had to look after the workers. But I think adults at that time would not pay attention to children's psychology, or I was not so lucky, my parents would not pay too much attention to children's psychology, or they were not so open at that time. At that time, adults had the final say, and it was not said that child abuse would be prosecuted. But I didn't say my parents abused me. It's a good thing to be beaten by your parents when you were a child. But I don't even have these, let alone eager for my father to take pictures with his camera on Sunday. Dad and I have an ironic relationship. I went to my father's office and met some uncles. They asked me, "What's the matter, son?" I was handsome when I was young. I had big eyes, a small nose and a red mouth like a doll. ) Dad's so-called friend asked me, "Oh, you are so cute. What's the matter? "Did Dad treat you to tea?" At that time, I was only six years old and had just been in class for a year. I said some very strange things. I don't know how my father will feel when he hears this, but I don't think he will feel anything. I said, "I don't know him well." (Laughing unconsciously again) But my father has never commented on this sentence. That's how my dad gets out. Do you know where the Peninsula Hotel is? It's just over there in Tsim Sha Tsui, and now it's a hotel called Count One Two! My father often rents a house there and often has some beautiful women to chat with! But there will be strange things to check him out. I like Cantonese movies (laughs). I have two mothers who live together, my biological mother and my so-called stepmother. If two women share a man, they will be very unhappy. My stepmother tried to pee on me because she was jealous. Childhood is very unhappy.

Sister Liu

Many people don't understand why I want to catch my sixth sister and live with her. In fact, the reason is very simple. If you had listened to me a lot just now, you would know why. That's because I was lonely when I was a child. The reason is that I am the tenth. Big sister and second sister can be a pair of rickshaws, and they have a lot to talk about and play beautifully together. The third and fourth couples died. Fifth sister and sixth sister can be a couple, about the same age. Seven elder brothers and myna are together, that A Jiu column, and those who can't get their passports back downstairs (all dead) (helpless smile) leave me the tenth. Myna and I have been separated for eight years. But I think my myna has tried to love me, but there is a certain distance in age, so she plays differently. Because I was just born when he was eight, and I was only ten when he was eighteen. Everyone is different, whether for fun or otherwise. But I think I was surprisingly quiet when I was a child. (You will ask, "How do you know?" The reason I know is that my sixth sister told me that I would be older and quieter when I was young. For example, there are many guests in the living room, but even if no one is with me in the room, the adults outside don't know there is a child in it. I won't scream or cry without an adult. I don't know if this is silence. But (paused) there is nothing to remember. There is nothing to miss, so I spent my childhood. The only thing I remember is that my mother-in-law died when I was a child. That was the first time I saw someone die with my own eyes. That was a deep impression.

Grandma passed away.

I'm a freshman again. A lot has happened to me as a freshman. On the first day of high school, my sixth sister came to pick me up as usual. She said to me, "Oh, don't be afraid for a while, my mother-in-law is asleep." Why should I sleep? At that time, I felt that I was more sensible than others when I was young. I don't know if I have nothing to do, gossip, often watch Cantonese movies, and know the bad omen. When I got home, I saw all my cousins arrived. Ah, there are no cousins, but they should be cousins, because my cousins were not married at that time. Cousin, everyone cried, and my aunt cried again. My cousin cried and said, "Ten (because my nickname is ten), come and see my mother-in-law!" My mother-in-law died. "What I remember most is that she died in a room because my mother-in-law was paralyzed. I got used to her when I was very young, because there was a big room in the foreign building where she and I lived. When she died, she was almost 75 or 76 years old, but she was paralyzed in her 60 s and sat in a cane chair all day. In fact, she is a very lonely old man, except that someone helps her clean up her excrement and feed her. For almost ten years, she has been sitting on a cane chair except sleeping in bed. (Speaking of which, I took a deep breath) I just saw my dead mother-in-law sitting on a cane chair, her mouth open and her skin began to appear purple and black. Then I saw a lot of people, I don't know their names, coming to collect my mother-in-law's body, and the adults were very busy. Then I went to the funeral home. It was my first time to go to the funeral home. There was a picture of my mother-in-law in the mourning hall. I'm too scared to go in and watch. But when my mother-in-law came out of the mountain, I saw her, but I didn't feel much change. I just put on some clothes and covered it with a cloth, and then everyone looked around. I remember the fortune teller said never to drop tears into the coffin, otherwise it would be impossible to return to the sun in the future. I began to hear these gossip things, talking about death, talking about marriage.

Translation of Leslie Cheung's autobiography (4)

father

I wonder if I didn't believe in marriage since I was a child. Maybe it's my father. So, when my favorite uncle got married, he married an aunt (in fact, I liked this aunt best in the end), but I had a strong resistance at that time. I cried all day as soon as I saw her. (I smiled unconsciously again. ) I cried until my sixth sister hugged me and had to leave because I couldn't finish the wedding banquet. I remember crying at the sight of her. I was good at catching her. (Pauses after laughing) That's it, after childhood. Once or twice, I told you some interesting stories about my childhood. When I was young, my father swam in winter. Actually, not when I was young. He swam until he was very old. He swam in winter until I came out to work in my middle school. Ah (long sigh), in fact, swimming sheds were very fashionable at that time. At that time, there were not so many public swimming pools, and public swimming pools were out of fashion. At most, there is a Victoria public swimming pool and a swimming shed in a certain area of the West Side. There are many people swimming in that swimming shed. When I was young, I had nothing to do, especially in summer vacation. My father won't be so good at taking me for a ride. Ah (laughs) Sister Liu and I take the tram for 20 cents. At that time, the tram was 20 cents! Ding-ding) Ding-ding went swimming in the West Ring because he (dad) is the head of the swimming team there. The funniest thing I remember is that once I went down the stone steps to pick up my dad and a friend, and then he touched my head as if he had seen my good friend's son. He didn't realize that I was his son. He grabbed a handful of big silver from his trouser pocket (at that time, big silver was very powerful, and 20 cents pulled a vitamin)

Swimming fun

Let me talk about my swimming. I remember loving that swimming trunks when I was a child. My swimming trunks are just (not as sexy as what you are wearing now). I don't know what brand they are. It's a pair of swimming trunks called Meimei Children's Wear (laughs). That pair of swimming trunks is very cute, with a white background and a red, green, green and blue fish. I wonder if those swimming trunks are not very feng shui. (Laughter) They are so energetic. There are always so many fish swimming there. I tried to drown two or three times. The first time was when I was very young, and it was also in the swimming shed. What I remember best is that one is the beach area and the other is the practice shed. The first time was near misses, but they told me that I was afraid of water, but I didn't know much about it when I was a child. Once I brought a foam lifebuoy, which is the most fashionable after tires. Maybe Xiao La didn't like swimming at first, but after this stage. According to my family, I could swim when I was four years old, but I don't remember. By the time I was six or seven years old, the most things happened and the so-called accidents were the most. I sat on the lifebuoy and said I was rowing. I was sitting on the lifebuoy at that time. How did I know that a wave came and turned the whole lifebuoy upside down, but I couldn't get out because it was facing the sun, but in fact, "three feet of water drowned people" was such a saying. At that time, there were really only three or four feet of water. While struggling underwater, I saw Sister Liu overlooking the sea view from the swimming shed. She didn't even know that her young master was in danger, so she drank a lot of water and couldn't even take her last breath. After the last effort, she struggled again and broke free. Once, my brothers and I were swimming when it was windy. I have already told you that I am eight and he is eighteen. Since I was six, he was sixteen. At that time, my brother was very strong and was a boy scout. He has a strong figure, but now it's different. Now he has become Ren Xiong (fat man) with a waist circumference of 36 inches, but at that time he was very strong and had many girlfriends. I swam with a lifebuoy as usual. I remember that it was windy that day and we were not allowed to go out of the beach. We were asked to practice swimming in the shed, but we were actually looking for idiots. The so-called practice shed is surrounded by several wooden stakes, which is called practice shed. Actually, they all came from the sea, but something blocked them and the lifeguards were watching. There are many "white fry" on the sea. I wonder if it's the wind. These famous undersea products have all surfaced. When I was swimming, I found a "white fry" beside me. I wanted to climb the stake, but with my figure, I crawled and fell back into the water. There is a man next to me. When I pulled my hand, he pulled out the whole white fry. This is the second time that I have been near misses. The third time was my sister, Look Ping Cheung, whom you are all familiar with. She went camping with her boyfriend and took our brothers and sisters. . . We went swimming. My brother is ridiculously fat now, but he is good at swimming. But the brother he met can't swim. I don't think he can swim now. He still needs a lifebuoy when he is seventeen or eighteen. I remember my sister and I were sitting on a floating bed, and I was wearing a life buoy. They were on the floating bed, and my brother, who can't swim, jumped off the floating bed at once. This man is really brainless. Really, what is the possibility of jumping from a floating bed to sitting on it? In addition to overturning a floating bed, I had a lifebuoy, so he dared to pull it out and swam away by himself. In fact, I was saved because my future brother-in-law and his cousin were nearby, but at that moment, I found my brother very selfish.

Seven brothers and starling

And my intuition (my brother is selfish, as mentioned above). It's always been right. Finally collected a lot of things. I find this brother very selfish. Speaking of his selfishness, it started when I was a child. It was the first time to play, and I still remember it. Another time, in order to save space, we used to live in bunk beds. The three brothers live in the same room and like to use three iron beds. I sleep on the ground floor, but when I play, I will run around on any floor. This brother said he would play rough with me. He told me to go up to the third floor, and then he himself was on the second floor, patting the big waves and pushing the boards, and I was pushed down. As a result, I fell to the ground from the third floor and didn't die, but I was a little jealous of my brother. I think he abused me a little, but at that time, the word abuse could not be said, and the word abuse is not so obvious now. My other brother fought for me. What about my brother who is like a bear? It's actually good for me. I remember doing a stupid thing when I was a child. There is a table tennis in our home. I was studying those table tennis when they played it. Ah, how can we make those balls so round? I don't know if you had this habit when you were a child. You just put something in your mouth. I tried to put a ping-pong ball in my mouth, and then (burst into laughter) I found myself out of breath. Then I went to Xiong Nan's brother and told him with my finger that he dug it out with his hand. Now that I think about it, I think this brother loved me from beginning to end.

Chapter II Seeking the Term (Primary School)

My best "classmate"

When I was a child, I didn't know if you had any "classmates" who dragged their hands and chatted. As for me, I have had several such "classmates", and I know several. One is Liu and the other is Guan, so my surname is Zhang. Is that special? So it's like getting married in Taoyuan, so these two classmates and a surnamed Xu, when I was in primary school, the four of us were very close. Up to now, these people have no contact with Guan Liu, but Xu still has contact. Xu is chaozhou people. Speaking of which, the two of us are very good classmates. We knew each other from the first grade of primary school to middle school, and then we separated. He went to Canada to study and I went to England to study. However, at this age, there is still something to say. I remember when I was a child, this Chaozhou boy was cute, chubby and as fat as a pig. Sometimes I envy him, and I envy him because his parents are very kind to him. His father is a taxi driver and his mother is an overseas Chinese in Singapore. She is a very happy woman who doesn't have to do anything. He is a person who can live with his parents. I didn't know what "inviting a wolf into the room" meant. His father invited the wolf into the room. His grandfather, a legal adviser and a wealthy intellectual, opened a shipyard. Because of the mainland at that time, he ended the shipyard at that time and came to Hong Kong. I don't know the mentality of those struggling people at that time, but at least they are a very happy family and don't have to marry outside. Menstruation, my classmate, is not only his sister's husband, but also lives in her own home. He has a cousin who studies with us in class. Their family really specializes in producing fat people. His cousin is also very fat. . (To be continued)

Shengluqi primary school

When I was young, I went to St. Luqi Primary School for the simple reason that my sister and her ex-husband both taught in St. Luqi. Of course, she teaches senior grades, especially the fifth and fifth grades, but I jumped from the lower grades of kindergarten to the first grade and went to St. Lucci to study. How do you know I can't continue studying? I'm not surprised. Think about it, you just keep up with the pace of grade one from the lower class in kindergarten, so I can't do many things at all, so I will make up the higher class in kindergarten. As a result, I studied in the first grade for two years and was promoted to the sixth grade. At that stage, there was nothing particularly memorable. The only thing I remember is my sister. One of my five sisters began to tutor me. At that time, I was exposed to what is called writing big characters, which was very annoying. Boss, I have so much homework to do every day. One night, I was asked to write big letters like "Confucius". People said that my English was not good-looking, and I was asked to write in pen and ask for some ink. Now I don't have it. They are all ballpoint pens. You can ask in the bookstore. This pen is about nine inches long. Insert a pen and choose the thickness. Come back with a bottle of ink and count. However, I don't think it helps at all. My English words are as ugly as Chinese characters (laughs). I can only remember these when I am studying. My sister is really strict with me.

Sister Zhang Luping is very strict.

I remember my fat brother and her (everyone's sister) quarreled about one thing. When I was young, I was not very lazy in my studies. I was in the top ten in every exam. But my sister is never satisfied. It may be influenced by her family. She thinks that one should stand on one's own two feet and "never lose" (meaning that one can't lose), at least in my family. In fact, she did it because she loved me. At that time, she tried her best to supervise my study and began to feel a lot of pressure. Then she sent her husband to detention. In fact, this is a very small thing. She scolds me when she comes back, and the more she scolds me, the angrier she gets. It was made by my dad, and the dress had my dad's label on it, which stuck to me and even the hanger was rotten, so my brother Zhu, a bear man, felt it was not worth it and said to her, "Hey, do you know that it hurts to hit someone like this?" . She said, "What does it matter if I teach you?" "Do you want to try?" . . . Yes, that happened after my sister broke the hanger. Before my sister had enough trouble, she took my brother's belt back to middle school and hit me. Then my brother was very angry (laughs) and said, "You don't know the pain, wait for you to try!" " Then my brother went to my sister with a belt. Finally, the two men got into a fight. My sister plays well (fiercely) at the wolf's house. At that time, it was really as good as those boys (laughs). At that time, (unconsciously talking) she said something about my brother's head with a coke glass bottle, which my brother wore on his head. Of course, this is my family's.

Interesting things in elementary school

There must be several factions when studying. One school is that reading is great; One school, that is, big sports; Another school is good at chasing girls. For me at that time, reading was great. What about sports? For me, ... I was short when I was young, and I am not very tall now. Many people know it, but they are all called medium height. But when I was young, I took classes in the park near my school. If only large schools had their own sports grounds at that time, if ordinary schools did not have their own sports grounds. I didn't read Saint Lucie at that time. Every time I go to physical education class, I feel silly. It takes 45 minutes to get to physical education class, but it's already 15 minutes to walk to the park and 15 minutes to walk back, so it actually takes only 15 minutes to get to physical education class. Actually, I don't like sports very much, but there is one thing I like, and that is wearing physical education class's clothes. Wear a pair of shorts because it's comfortable. Maybe many people don't know that I wore shorts to school when I was a child. My family calls me "Sloppy State". Why? The reason is that I am wearing a pair of white stockings, white shorts, a white shirt and a school seal. But every time I go home, it may be that the stools there are dirty and worn, and there will be something black behind them. I go home like this every day. (Music) What I hate most is wearing those stockings. Maybe those socks are of poor quality. When I start wearing new socks, they will be tight. But after wearing it twice and washing it twice, it will slide down and pull when wearing it. So I need to find some rubber bands. No, it's a thick rubber band, which white people use to sew pants. Then when Sixth Sister comes back, help me sew it up, put it on and wrap it around me. When I was studying at that time, I remembered that I was excellent. I tried my best to take the Chinese exam for two years, ranking second and third. But my sister always gives me the feeling that she is persistent, that is, she is very nervous about my grades, or too nervous, which makes me feel retired in the late primary school (I can't hear you clearly here). I remember when I was in primary school, I studied old numbers. The biggest problem is that I can't tell the old number from the new one. When I read the new figures, I had transferred to another school, Rose Hill School, which you are familiar with. I changed a new environment there, and I didn't say that Sister Liu would send me to school to pick me up after school.

Rose gang high school

When I was studying in Rose Mountain, I began to live a "big boy" life, that is, I had to take the school bus. Going back to school, I feel that everything is strange. To tell you the truth, I'm still not very religious. I only know a little about religion, Catholicism or Buddhism. At that time, there was nothing terrible, just one mouth, or at that time, I started my early singing. . Although I didn't know much about teaching and Catholicism at that time, several gentlemen liked me because my English was good. English is called one of the best in those subjects, so my husband chose me (I don't know if there is one) and I have to study for one round before I can leave school, so I chose me. So I often lead the whole class to read, and I was jealous at first. Now everyone else is thinking,' Why do you want to study? I'm not illiterate. But I was uncharacteristically, because I had no interest in reading when I was in middle school. I don't know if my sister pushed me too hard when I was in primary school. By the first day of junior high school, she couldn't learn new numbers, so there was nothing to teach, so she invited a tutor to come back. My tutor didn't teach so hard and I didn't study so hard, so I wasn't interested in any subjects except English at that time, but

adaptive phase

At this time, there are some extravagant things to pull, such as horse sandals, which are used to play basketball. Then I found that this school is completely different from the previous school. All of them speak English more than Chinese. In order not to let others look down on them, they have to speak English all day. The headmaster of our school also typed in English when giving lectures, so I really didn't know what he said at first, but I was finally able to communicate with him. At that time, Yao was still very cheerful. At that time, several boys pretended to be him all day and sang funny songs, which I still remember. At that time, we often played ball games, and there were also some inter-school competitions between classes. At that time, I played badminton very well, but I was scared several times because I wanted to play badminton with the headmaster, but I felt honored because I was a little vain. I didn't know I could sing at that time. I just went to see it. Do you know when I started singing? Who inspired me to sing? It's really Yao Shourong. . The music at that time was not as good as it is now. There are only two things that are not popular in Guangdong at all. When we study, we can only speak Mandarin and a little English. Speaking English is CCR. But at that time, we didn't like listening to that kind of English music so much. We know this, and when we go to the party, we will. But for a while, this Yao was so shy that he even treated him like a VIP tonight. When he came to Hong Kong, the audience was full, and I also went to see it, in some Hong Kong cinema or something. Many people imitate him to sing, watch and find it very interesting. Let's listen to his records, hmm. . These records belong to my brother. Listen, I will listen to them, too, so I will sing his songs. So now if you ask him what he sang, I will sing, and if he doesn't come home today, I will sing.

The two most memorable westerns

When I was older, I began to listen to some English songs and watch some foreign movies. The most profound foreign film is two in middle school. One is Eccentric Eye. . Both male and female protagonists are extremely beautiful; The other one is "A Jade Girl in Bud", and the first one is very nice. It was from then on that I listened to many English songs. What I remember best is that I even watched the dialogue on the disc. I don't know why I did it. I can't do it at all, but it will be very bad if I don't watch it. Just like you don't listen to Lin now. After this stage, it is the courtship stage.
