Chapter 186. Hong Kong Doll Book
In fact, Hong Kong comic strips are also called "doll books". To put it bluntly, they are villain books for children. However, due to different ideologies, many Hong Kong doll books are rarely seen in the mainland.
The most common Hong Kong doll books are those who fight and kill, such as "sword and sword shadows", such as the prodigy Wang Daru, Zhang Sanfeng's night visit to Shaolin Temple, or it is an extremely shocking hybrid story, such as Tu Xingsun fighting Sun Wukong, Erlang fighting aliens, etc. The content can be said to be wild and full of imagination, and it is even more 2D than the second dimension.
In addition, there are some pornographic books that are well-selling back then. The most famous one is the Cantonese dialect of the Malao, which describes men's lustful appearance, erotic carp spirit, water snake wife plays bald slaves, etc.
These doll books are of good quality, and each book can be two or three hundred, and the difference is dozens of. Generally speaking, these books are similar to the "horse-running books" in the mainland. The paintings are rough and commercial for the sake of business, and the content is even more messy. From the perspective of collection value, they are not qualified, but some people buy it, so they have become the "darlings" of some comic book collectors.
Compared with these Hong Kong "horse-running dolls", some Hong Kong doll books are "copied" from the mainland. The most famous ones are the Three Kingdoms, Water Margin, Journey to the West, the Yang Family Generals, Yue Fei Biography, etc., and are well-known "Masters of Mainland China".
These books were created by many famous mainland Chinese artists. They were published and distributed in Hong Kong in the 1950s and 1960s, especially in the 1970s. Because Hong Kong has a small population, the circulation of these doll books is not large. In addition, Hong Kong people are willing to invest in capital, the paper quality of these doll books is very good, which is better than many mainland "big yellow paper".
However, there is one thing that is interesting. Mainland comics are generally 24 books, and they are very slap in a hand and can be used with the four masterpieces published in Hong Kong. The Yang family generals and Yue Fei are called "chain pictures" and become four paintings on the upper and lower sides, and 32 books of "little man's book".
The Biography of Jigong, the Biography of the Ming Dynasty, the Legend of the Northern and Southern Tours on the book stall are "comic pictures" of 32 books. Compared with the comic strips in the mainland, they are more like "adult reading materials".
Although I was not sure about the specific value of these Hong Kong comic strips, Lin Yi fell in love with these four sets of comic strips at a glance, so he asked the stall owner who sold the books and said, "How much does these four sets cost?"
The stall owner was an old woman in her sixties. She was wearing a traditional fisherman short suit of a Macau woman. Her thick braids were also tied up, and she tied them into a bun on her head. She sat on the little wood and shook the banana fan. When she saw Lin Yi ask, she smiled and said, "I'm sorry, these doll books are not sold for the time being."
Lin Yi was stunned for a moment because the other party was speaking Mandarin. Although he was not very fluent, Lin Yi could understand it.
After thinking about it, you will understand that although Macau is close to Hong Kong, its relationship with the mainland is closer to Hong Kong after its return. Some people in Hong Kong are causing trouble, but Macau is getting closer to the motherland. Even many Macau people have begun to learn Mandarin.
But what Lin Yi didn't understand was that these doll comic strips were for sale on street stalls? Why did the stall owner say that they would not sell them for the time being?
Seeing that Lin Yi seemed to be a little confused, the old woman shook the banana fan and said, "That's right, these doll books are sold, but they haven't finished reading it yet." The old woman pointed to the children who were reading the books.
Only then did Lin Yi notice that the little kids were reading with relish, holding a doll book.
Some people hold the Biography of Jigong, some hold a Biography of the Ming Dynasty, and some hold the Travels of the North and Travels of the South.
The children were so stunning that they sat on the stool that they didn't notice that Lin Yi, the adult, was showing "hungry" eyes.
"Let's talk about it when they finish reading," the old woman smiled, "Now there are not many children who like to read books, they all like to play electric games. My little grandson is the same. When he comes home, he either does homework or plays games, and he doesn't touch many books." The old woman looked at the children with a kind smile on her face.
Lin Yi wanted to buy the good books when he saw them, otherwise he would feel uncomfortable as if he was scratched by a cat. He heard the old woman say this and said, "It doesn't matter, I can wait a while. I'll buy it after they finish reading it."
Seeing Lin Yi so persistent, the old woman smiled and stopped talking.
Time passes slowly.
Lin Yi was waiting for this small book stall to spend the rest of his life. He looked through the miscellaneous books on the book stall, but his eyes glanced at the naughty children from time to time.
After all, the children don’t have much patience at all. Moreover, the current social consultation is developed. There are so many fun and interesting things for them, how can they care about these old versions of the doll books?
So after looking through it for a while, the two or three children lost interest in the series of pictures that looked a little "hot-blooded", not too "violent", and did not look at girls' pants, and left the book stall one by one.
"That's right. Go and leave the book." Lin Yi was full of joy.
Seeing that the child was almost gone, Lin Yixin said that he should sell it to me. Just when he was about to reach out to collect all the books, he saw a little fat man. He took a series of pictures without hesitation and started reading it.
I was dizzy, and Cheng Yaojin came out halfway.
I saw that the fat guy seemed to eat too well and was too nutritious, so that he looked like a small stone rolling, shaking his fat legs with a book, and he was actually reading with relish.
Seeing this, Lin Yi had to cough and remind him with his eyes, "Boy, just take a few glances, get out of here."
But the fat man glanced at Lin Yi, then hummed and actually pulled a small stool, and sat on it with a big golden sword.
Damn, this is a protracted war.
Lin Yi was almost speechless and waited for such an ending after waiting for most of the day.
While Lin Yi helped to sort out the scattered series of pictures and put them back in the outer packaging box, he used his eyes to urge the little fat man to "get it done" quickly.
Unfortunately, Lin Yi's "sexy eyes" were considered to be vain. The fat man ignored it. When he saw it occasionally, he even clenched his nose and flicked his booze with his fingers, looking at it disdainful.
If this is the case, Lin Yi could tolerate it. After all, as an adult, he would not be angry with a child. But the problem is that this naughty child actually poured out the boxes that Lin Yi had just packed one by one, and picked up the series of pictures.
It's unbearable, Lin Yi feels that he must use his ultimate move. To be continued.
