Li Erge of the old Ji'nan "town Tianqiao"
source:
Tao Yushan in the late 60s and early 70s of the last century, Ji'nan folk sprang up the exercise of martial arts and fitness upsurge. At that time, when the day was just black or after dinner, almost every street had a very busy place of martial arts, people gathered together, some practising and rubbing (boxing), some scouring wheels (Wrestling), and special instruments such as knives, swords and three bars. There seems to be an unwritten rule. Every street has a famous, strong and convincing outstanding person, like a leader who takes the lead. In our street, this person is Li Erge, nicknamed "the Town Flyover".
the brother Li is miserable and the family is poor. His father was a big man in the freight yard, when he was 10 years old, when his father, when he was carrying 200 jins of grain bag to the train, accidentally fell off the sway pedals, broken a few ribs, and the spine was injured, and he couldn't do physical labor. The mother worked as a temporary worker in the handwork in the street. While his almost old children were still naughty in the street, Li Erge knew that he tried to make money to make up for his family's expenses and to solve his family's troubles. He squatted in the Tianqiao Nantou with a rope, waiting for the overpass on the ground car full of heavy objects, and he tied the rope to the rimbus on the handlebar, making five cents a time. Listen to adults, his nickname "the Town Flyover" was acquired by pulling the sleeve. One time, a few grown-ups, who didn't know what to think, were willing to bet on him, saying that if Li was able to pull up a bridge full of charcoal with a full load of charcoal, he asked him to eat the famous "dog bun" steamed stuffed bun in the Grand View Garden in Ji'nan. Li Erge, a young and energetic young man, agreed unequivocally and did it. Everyone was stunned and unbelievably admired. The nickname of the "town bridge" was called.
Li Er GE has great strength, good Kung Fu, but never bullies. At that time, it might be influenced by the villain of the villains, and there was a lot of fighting and fighting on the streets. Once, a few self righteous young people on the street rushed to our street to stir up trouble. Someone called Li brother. They are relying on numerous people, and do not put Li Li in the eyes, or even speak in a crazy way. He looked at them quietly, slowly taking off the coarse cloth and gown, and shining his arms and strong muscles in the front chest. He quietly put up the two hundred or three hundred kilos of stone in the corner, pushed it into the middle of the road, and sat steadily on it. The gang looked foolish. They didn't expect that there was such a great force in the world. If they really did it, it would not be self imposed. One of them apologized and apologized and never appeared in our street again.
the most admirable thing is Li Er's eyes are old and few. I remember there was a lonely old woman in the street who was not in good health, and no one took care of it. As soon as he has free time, Li Erge does not clean the health of her old granny or helps to lift water and buy coal and grain. He does not know that he is the grandson of the old grandmother. As long as I had no money to buy snacks like other small partners, I had accumulated to buy small books. Li Erge was very admired about my habit. I saw that I was always patting my little head and greeting, if he had a snack like melon seeds and persimmon skin in his pocket, it would generously give me a little. One time, I walked along the street to see the little book that I just bought. I didn't know where a few of the half of my big children were snatched out of the small book. I felt very angry about the big children of these children, and I was so angry and sad that I could not help crying. At this time, Li second brother just passed by. He overtook the children and scolded them well. Li Erge's voice was full of sound, his ears were great, and some of the half of the big children were scare for mercy, and they vowed no longer to bully them. Li Er Ge gave me the book of villains. He said with a sincere heart and soul that little brother could not only cry and cry when he met things. This sentence impressed me, to a certain extent, imperceptibly influenced my attitude towards life and everything I experienced.
later, because of the demolition and other reasons, our family had moved several times, and the old neighbourhood neighbors gradually lost contact, and did not hear a little news about Li brother. In writing this article, Li's second nature, who had been away for nearly forty years, appeared in front of him.
Li Erge, whom I respect forever, are you ok?
