Summer Solstice

Summer Solstice.

Summer heat is so bottom-line two: one was the most toxic of the day the sun, another is
the longest day of sun. Summer can be a long two days of term, I think, only the summer
solstice most conditions, at least a ride to speak out. Summer solstice day, the sun
reaches the summer solstice point of 90 degrees longitude, direct the Tropic of Cancer is
the longest day. In addition, it is the starting point of the summer heat, and also
determine the high and low temperatures throughout the summer as a barometer, Folk
Proverbs "hot dog day summer solstice goes."

Summer Solstice.In Shanghai, the people, there began in the summer solstice, with nine
terms, "Song of Summer 99." The hottest show is "49," and "493 XVI wipe sweat like
bath." 30 years ago, on June 23, Wednesday, Xia Zhigang had a rainy day. I am starting
from the Changning schools, mountains and the countryside came to the farm in
Fengxian Spark. In my memory, first set foot on the community is extremely hot summer.
This is not to leave the city of factors other mischief in secret, the objective environment
is a very hot field. Country than the city is cool, in addition to the head can go no shade
that straw hat on something, all work under the burning sun. At that time, it is a five to
seven days after the summer solstice, that is, folk said Shanghai is "2:00" to "3:00", a
saying "cold apricot, hot 3:00." And labor for old clothes on the right as a uniform. His
clothes are wet, dry, dry and wet; just a few days, there clothes back on different shades
of white stains stain the piece, that is from the sweat of the salt. A tired man, "clothes"
are too lazy to wash every day, every day when they wear is not comfortable. What was
the greatest wish is to work the next best to be a not-for-work overalls. Khan faces,
hands down a line and toss the dirt is a one size immediately point.

Summer Solstice.Even in some jokes: the leader does not sweat, we sweat; leading a
little sweat, we sweat out; leading a sweat, we have to hemorrhage. But to tell the
conscience, or even in the cadres do not live with us when dry, Khan is better than we
are out of less. Are almost the same age as the young people, and basically living by
doing hard and the "knot stick" it to their work. He would not be fixed, it is fixed all men
shouting; is moved, are people tempted fixed. We live in a shelter is not a
Dongnuanxialiang. The roof is an added layer of straw blankets oil a day, the sun down
to is like an oven into the. Although the thatched shed near the river bank may shed the
North River in the summer over the southeast wind, winter Daoshi get the North to the
wind through. Thatched shed south, could open the door to face a higher than half a
meter on the tractor road, Dangqu a lot of wind. A dormitory sleeping ten people, not any
fan. One night, it could not stand and climbed to the bridge's arch Kim's house in shade
suspended. The most bitter is the toilet, especially in stool.

Summer Solstice.Even in the build down the road edge of the field only two pit-bit simple
men's room, not to mention the heat, the sense of taste can not stay here, the people
divided. Some quick ground in vegetables and heat and air issues be resolved, may be
too much for mosquitoes. Some locations have 是 bite, as people can not grasp itches
badly disturbed. Still under the cover of darkness, climbed Qiaozha, the more thrilling to
be carried out on the river bottom suspended work at height; a will, there i s the air off the
body and surface noise from the collision. Opened 30 years ago, the diary, I June 28,
1976, the countryside of the sixth day wrote: "From the realization of the lofty goals of
communism, today eat bitter liberation of all mankind for the revolution. To willingly
endured hardship in exchange for unlimited sweet tomorrow. but I arrival, thinking is not
so understanding. a bitter experience to grumble and said strange words from a number
of bad effects. and then think about the Pro When I start walking in the War when his
father, for the people fighting hard for the revolution, the situation highlighted the
danger ... ... compared to our conditions and they can be called happiness. "Is this the
summer that I have a bottom line? Is life a quarter hold can hold four seasons, and even
that is life.
