Around 1978 or 1979, when I was just in the second grade of elementary school, I got an internal ticket from my family and went to an internal auditorium to watch "The Nile Massacre". Now I recall that in the era without the Internet and DVD, it is really a joy and pride to be able to get in-house movie tickets frequently! There was no such feeling at that time. I still remember clearly in 1980 or 1981 that when watching the movie "Shaolin Temple", people gathered around the entrance of the theater to buy movie tickets at high prices. How scarce was the spiritual life of the Chinese in that era?
The movie was staged in a thrilling manner, and I held my breath, staring dumbfounded. Not only is it fully understandable, but also deeply obsessed with it.
Going home at night, dreaming all night in a room like a bar, I kept getting up and getting shot. What a terrible thing those shootings and cold conspiracies are in a young mind who has never been exposed to violence!
Maybe the seeds were planted at that time? Later, I especially liked detective novels and movies. Today, I have developed from Sherlock Holmes and Polo to CSI.
However, the intense mental stimulation that night received will never be remembered.
