Lin Yi likes to watch movies and also likes some movie stars, such as Tony Leung, who can act with his eyes and Andy Lau, who has a great demeanor, but Lin Yi likes the most is Leslie Cheung.

Lin Yi likes Leslie Cheung, his "Farewell My Concubine", his role as "Cheng Dieyi", and his "no life without being crazy".

Like the play he acted, Leslie Cheung finally went there, on an unexpected festival, April Fool's Day, a crazy leap, became a flying person, left us forever, and left fans and movie fans who liked him.

It was precisely because of his departure that his brother Leslie Cheung's previous photo albums and other albums were sold out, and they were of great value.

As far as Lin Yi knows, Leslie Cheung had three major photos during his lifetime, namely "Pure Picture Collection", "Qing" and "All".

Among them, after Leslie Cheung's death, his "Qing" and "All" were re-released in Japan, so it was popular among his brother's fans.

In contrast, the "Pure Film Collection" by his brother Leslie Cheung is divided into two types: first edition and reprint. The first edition was released in 1988, and the reprint was released in 1989.

In fact, the pure albums of these two versions are "JULY1988", so it is impossible to tell which version is the first version and which version is the reprint from the printing date.

Let’s talk about the cover first. The covers of these two versions are different because the cover of the reprint has a book cover that says “Reprinted Leslie Cheung’s Pure Collection”. This book cover was later stolen by a profiteer and put on his copycat version of the pure film collection, so some fans thought that this cover was a copycat, but it was not.

In addition, the reprinted book cover can be taken out like some books. When the book cover is taken out, you will see the pattern on the cover of the first edition.

To put it bluntly, the first edition and the reprinted pure film collection are only a short time when the reprint is added with a envelope, and a letter paper handwritten by my brother.

Generally speaking, as long as you have a reprint, it means you have a first edition. Because you take away the book cover and superstition, the reprint in your hand becomes the first edition.

As for the first pure film collection, there should be nothing left. As far as Lin Yi knows, in addition to a transparent bag of packaging, there should be an application form for fans of that year, which is not available in the reprint.

It is precisely because Lin Yi knew this that at a glance, he could see that the book in front of him was definitely a real "Reprint of the Collection of Leslie Cheung". Now in the old book market in the mainland, such a picture album has been sold for 3,000 yuan, totaling more than NT$14,000, and has a high collection value among the fan groups.

...

At this time, Lin Yixinxi held the album tightly in his hand and continued to look through the old things in the cardboard box. Unfortunately, there were no better old books. Only some very old vinyl records were left.

When Lin Yi was studying, he also saw some people collecting these vinyl records in Taoshu notes, so he changed his target and saw what those vinyl records are.

Lin Yi was stunned when he saw the first one, because this one turned out to be "The Sixth Sense" by Taiwanese singer Su Rui. It was dated and produced by Warner Records in 1986. Now this record is worth about 150 yuan in the collection market, totaling NT$700.

The second photo is even more amazing. It turned out to be "The Fierce Anita Mui's Flame Red Lips", which was produced by Taipei Records in the early 1990s. It is worth almost RMB 1,200 in the record collection market, totaling NT$5,600.

Lin Yi smiled. It’s not that these two records are very valuable for collection, but because these two singers are both loved by Lin Yi.

Lin Yi likes Su Rui's song "Drink Wine and Selling Nothing" the most, and the popular "Dedication". As for Anita Mui, let alone, since her death, her records have become treasures of countless fans and collectors. Unexpectedly, they can be encountered here.

With these three treasures, Lin Yi felt that in this old bookstore, no, the old audio and video bookstore had a lot of gains. So he took these two records and the picture album and asked the fat store owner who was still using a computer to soak Ma Zi and chatting with Ma Zi, "How much do these three?"

The fat man looked up impatiently and said, "Are you an old record? One NT$500, and that broken picture album will be given 800!"

Lin Yi cleaned his ears and wondered if he had heard it wrong?

A total of NT$1,300 can be settled?!

This is worth more than NT$20,000.

Since they want this price, Lin Yi certainly won’t care. He will pay directly and leave! The fat shop owner behind him didn’t know how to beat him up, so he left, and continued to pick up girls: “Where to go to have fun tonight? Will you go to Ximending? It’s good to have a midnight snack, I just collected more than 1,000 yuan here…”

...

In a relaxing mood, Lin Yi left the audio-visual store happily and continued to move forward in this deep alley.

Not far along the alley, I met several bookstores unexpectedly. One was called "Taipei Old Bookstore". On an inconspicuous second floor, the store was not big after going up. There were several so-called treasures in the most conspicuous place. Of course, the price was not expensive, and it seemed to be a version of the Republic of China.

Lin Yi looked at it and found that one of them was Hu Shi's collection of poems - "Test Collection", published by Yadong Library, and the version was published in 1920, which was the early 9th year of the Republic of China.

Lin Yi has been famous for this old book, which is known as the first rare collection of poems in New Literature, but has never read it.

At this moment, I couldn't help calling the shopkeeper over and said, "Can I let me read this book?"

The shop owner was a middle-aged man with the sophistication and sleekness of the men from Baodao. He looked up and down at Lin Yi, and then asked with a smile: "Where is from the mainland?"

Lin Yi frowned: "Yes, what's the matter?"

The shop owner did not shy away and said directly: "Now mainlanders have money and can afford good things... I usually don't let locals see rare books like this. They only know how to read them, but they don't buy them."

Lin Yi: “…”

I don't know what I feel.

But the shop owner took out the book, held it gently in his hand, and handed it to Lin Yi, and did not forget to remind him, "This book is NT$50,000. Of course, if you find it troublesome, we can also collect RMB... How much is the RMB, about NT$1600."

These words made Lin Yi not know whether he should take this book. If he read it himself and didn't buy it, it wouldn't be embarrassing.

I have to say that this Taiwanese man is definitely a businessman, and seems to be accurate in Lin Yi's psychology, so he said such things.

What if it doesn't matter, let's take a look first.

Lin Yi was confidently taking the rare book "Try Collection" in his hand and carefully looked through it--

I saw that most of this collection of poems are early vernacular poems. It can be imagined that in that era, ancient poetry was the most traditional form of poetry. However, with the May Fourth Movement and the influence of Western literature, the intellectuals in the Republic of China could no longer sit still and began to try new poetry in the form of prose, and Hu Shi was the first person to dare to take the lead.

Perhaps his poetry is not perfect, but it is important to be fresh and sincere.

...

"I came from the mountains, brought orchids and plants, planted in a small garden, hoping that the flowers would bloom early..."

Lin Yi silently recited this poem called "Hope".

This poem was written in 1921. That summer, Hu Shi went to the West Mountain. His friend Xiong Bingsan and his wife gave him a pot of orchids and plants. He happily took it home. He took it home carefully while reading and writing, but it did not bloom until autumn. So he wrote this poem.

Hu Shi is a powerful figure in modern Chinese history, but his works are not really well-known to the public. This song "Orchid and Grass" may be the most widely circulated one. It is fresh, simple, affectionate, and the expectation and cherishment of life are vividly displayed on paper, and it is catchy.

At this moment, when Lin Yimo recited this poem, what appeared in front of him was not the orchids, but Hu Shi's hastily and persistent figure. When Hu Shi returned from his studies, he also brought a "orchids" with a "orchids" - liberalism. He traveled thousands of miles to bring it back, planted it on the land of China, cared carefully, and looked forward to it blooming - more than just "looking three times a day"! Lin Yi thought that it was because of Hu Shi's anxiety that when he saw this orchid that had not bloomed for a long time, he suddenly felt emotional and aroused poetry. He gave it his life as "Hope", perhaps because he hoped that liberal thought would bloom throughout China as soon as possible.

Now that this person has passed away, the poem is still there. Thinking about Hu Shi, the "orchid" that has been in turmoil for nearly a hundred years, I can't erase the slightest melancholy.

Let’s take a look at another poem that is praised by others--"Butterfly":

Two yellow butterflies, two to the sky.

For some reason, one suddenly flew back.

The one left is lonely and pitiful.

I have no intention of going to heaven, because it is too lonely.

Some people say that this poem is about friendship, but Lin Yi doesn't believe it very much, because using "butterfly" to metaphor two big men is too abrupt. Lin Yi thinks this is Hu Shi's sigh to his love life.

Hu Shi was engaged to Jiang Dongxiu when he was a teenager, but after he arrived in the United States, he met Wei Liansi, who was extremely talented, and fell in love with him. Their half-life relationship began since then, and it is no longer a secret. This poem was written in 1916, on the eve of Hu Shi's return to China. This song "Butterfly" is actually a modern "Liang Zhu" that combines Chinese and Western styles. The two butterflies that were originally flying in "double heavens" had to "suddenly fly back" because Hu Shi's mother urged Hu Shi to go home to get married, and they had to "suddenly return" one. The only one left Wei Liansi was alone and lonely. Looking through the autumn water, it was really "poor"--Wei Liansi never married in her life.

Looking at this poem by Hu Shi, I understand it as if I am even a little clumsy, but I always give people a little touch and reminisce. Lin Yi thought that this should be the power of sincerity. Hu Shi's poems are a bit like the Book of Songs, and they all come from feelings and look plain, but in fact they have a deep background in life. Some people say that Hu Shi's poems only have historical value, but Lin Yi cannot agree. Hu Shi's poems are naturally not very high in terms of artistic quality or ideological depth, but he has a valuable quality: honesty. He does not make things mysterious or sick. He is a real person and speaks clearly, which makes people feel very relieved.

Lin Yi remembers clearly that Hu Shi also wrote a poem "Dreams and Poetry", which contains a few sentences: "Only after being drunk, only after being loved can you know that the wine is strong, only after being loved can you know that the knowledge is heavy. You cannot be my poem, just as I cannot be your dream."

In Lin Yi's opinion, just one song can sing the world.

There is no need to be too much poetry.

One song is enough!
