The original version of Dream of Genius was published by Shanghai Xifeng Publishing House, 194 1.

The original text is as follows:

There is a part of the art of life that I can't appreciate. I know how to watch Clouds in July, listen to Scottish soldiers playing bagpipes, enjoy rattan chairs in the breeze, eat salted peanuts, enjoy neon lights on rainy nights, and reach out from the double-decker bus to pick the green leaves at the top of the tree.

When no one handed over, I was full of joy in life. But I can't overcome this little distress for a day. Life is a gorgeous robe full of fleas.
