Comic books, also called "picture books", were called "doll books" by children in our town from 1980s to early 1990s.

When I was in primary school, one or two days before Children's Day, the class teacher would give the students a book coupon and said with a smile, this is a Children's Day gift from Xinhua Bookstore in the city, and students can buy books on holidays with discounts. When I came back to class on Children's Day, everyone excitedly discussed the beloved book I just bought. Which book is talked about the most? Or a comic book. I remember a classmate bought a set of painted robotech, which was very exciting. Some students bought a set of Ji Gong Story. What is it about? We borrowed it and watched it with ecstasy.

At that time, there was a bookstall for renting comic books outside the crimson wall of Zhongshan Park in the small town. This kind of book stand is very simple, just a few long benches, a few mazars and a few small benches. Several big wooden boxes for picture books. This wooden box is very shallow, one meter square, and there is a hinge between the two wooden boxes. The boss's picture book is stacked in a wooden box with the cover facing outwards. Just put the two wooden cases together when you close the door. Rent a picture book for a dime or two.

When I was seven or eight years old, my grandmother took my cousin and me out of the park and passed by the villain's bookstall. I insist on reading comic books. Grandma refused, so I sat on the ground and let it go, crying and arguing. Grandma had no choice but to rent two picture books for me to see. She and her cousin sat with me at the book stand all afternoon. Looking back now, it is a shame.

The impression of Swallow, Li San, Wang Wu and an outstanding Oriental are all martial arts stories set in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. Perhaps I was still a born nationalist at that time, and such a story can make my blood boil. Especially in "A Hero in the East", when I watched the martial arts hero, a hero in the East, beat a group of western strongmen and boxing champions in the ring with extremely bright China martial arts, I couldn't wait to return to the late Qing Dynasty and become a warrior with stunts, doing things like raising China's prestige and destroying foreigners' prestige.
