In the 1960s, when I worked for the Inner Mongolia Electric Construction Company, there were five colleagues at the civil construction site who were all pockmarked. What is a pockmarked? Pocky is an acne scar on the face caused by smallpox when she was young. Now that smallpox has been eradicated, young people may not know much about it. At that time, even the most handsome people with pockmarks on their faces were difficult to be liked by others. After all, face was a very important thing, or else people would always say “face, face”!
Asako.
Imazi from the mechanical class at the civil construction site is a converted soldier. He’s tall and imposing, with a look somewhat similar to CCTV’s Li Yong. A native of Beijing, Imazi is smart, alert and articulate, and if he weren’t pockmarked, he’d be very handsome. But his overall quality is compromised by his pockmarked white face.
The lucky man has his own face, I Maizi’s wife is a nurse in the first hospital in Baotou, a long, dignified and beautiful body, I Maizi and her acquaintance when she was hospitalized there. “Asahi’s fortune is not shallow, and I don’t know how he managed to get her to marry him. As the saying goes, “Nine out of ten pockmarks are pretty”. If a person has a little defect, other aspects are often very prominent, so I am sure that Pockmarked had something to attract her. At that time, the status of the working class is very high, I had a pockmarked as the Chinese People’s Liberation Army, the family composition is also very good, plus he has the ability to say the dead live eloquence, only a little pockmarked face is also diluted by other aura.
Pocky Cai
Woodworking class there is a Cai Pocky, full name Cai Shulin. Cai pockmarked Hebei people, in 1958 to work, until the late 1970s or a second-class workers, people collectively referred to that batch of workers as “five eighty-two”. Cai Pocky is very playful and very clean, always use a towel to throw the whole body to clean up after work every day. Then wash your face, hair and feet, always spend an hour before and after, almost a germaphobe.
Pocky Cai’s skills were very good, and he strived for perfection; his temperament was good, and he was reasonable and peaceful. But what I find most unacceptable is that Cai’s genetics are biased towards women, he speaks softly, and his hands and feet are gentle. If you don’t look at the face, just listen to the voice, almost like a woman, violating the laws of masculinity and femininity.
Pocky Cai was feeble and thin and dry, and he was expected to have difficulty getting a wife in the city. But for the sake of a city account, a flowery, rural girl married him.
I heard that the girl was engaged to him before, but also commissioned a call to build the company’s labor section to find out: you have a civil construction site carpentry class Cai pockmarked it? Is he a regular? The response must have been positive. That’s how the daughter-in-law arrived.
I met the pretty village girl who came to see him from her home in Hebei province. The girl washed his clothes in a big basin and then dried them in the yard. The girl’s arms and breasts were very white, her teeth were like a line of broken jade, and when she smiled with two dimples, the masters all drooled. Because they are only twelve days a year to visit family leave, all year round can only suffer dry rely. Cai Pocky is a dozen years older than her, the two of them are very much mismatched. I can hardly imagine the joy of the two of them, can only be understood as a cruel occupation.
Pocky Qian
Sister Qian from the Oil Worker class was also a pockmarked girl. At that time, she was estimated to be twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, still waiting to be married. There are more than eighteen hundred people in the thermal power company, and the men overwhelmingly dominate. People often say: three years as a soldier, the old sow race like heavenly fairy, but Ms. Ma could not attract the interest of the bachelors in the power construction company.
Ma is ugly, but she likes to act tactfully; she also speaks very softly and is full of feminine air. If you cover her face, just by the voice, you will think that she is a beautiful little sister, but once the veil is removed, you will be surprised, and your stomach will be turned upside down.
Sister Ma is very good at getting things done and does her best to be shy in front of her class president. Her squad leader’s surname is Liu, and she follows him all day long, with an amorous, “Master Liu! Master Liu!” Screaming all the time. The students used to learn her style behind her back, and then we all laughed so hard.
At that time, the company had a propaganda team of Mao Zedong Thought. Every time she was selected, Ma was eager to try out, but she always returned disappointed. Once she and class monitor Liu were in tears, and he could only kindly console her. There is a saying that “people should know what they are doing,” and I think that is what they are saying to people like her.
I heard that Ma finally married, married a machine factory more than a dozen years older than her right-wing activists, the right-wing activists rehabilitated after a large sum of money, the wedding ceremony was quite a big event. It was a happy ending for Sister Ma.
Pocky Zhou
Asako Zhou, a civil engineering construction site team leader and head of the cowshed, was born in the Republic of China. Unfortunately, he contracted smallpox and ended up with a face full of pockmarks. Since he became a worker in a construction company, he was looking forward to being introduced to someone every day, but when many people heard that he was a pockmarked, none of them were willing to work with him, making him unhappy every day.
I remember one day after dinner, a few workers in his class played jokes with him again. They said the pockmarks on his face were so big and deep that they couldn’t be smoothed out even if you bought two pounds of snow cream. At that time I thought Zhou pockmarked would be annoyed, who laughed and said, “I don’t believe in this evil, you see if I can smooth it out!” After saying that he picked up a young worker’s bottle of snow cream, unscrewed the lid, and dug hard with his hand to wipe it on his face, we all jumped up with joy. It just so happened that at this time small machinery class Hubei guy Master Chen came in, Zhou pockmarked a look, rushed to greet: “Old Chen brother, you see my face pockmarked still?” Master Chen laughed at the situation. But the owner of the snowflake ointment was annoyed that Pocky Zhou had harmed his snowflake ointment, and cursed Pocky Zhou for not being a human being, and
The Cultural Revolution came and the status of being a soldier was high. Zhou Pocky and Jiangxi Province to borrow a set of military uniforms, always wear when going out, posing as a transfer soldier, the purpose is to get a daughter-in-law. Once he went home to visit relatives, get on the train, there happened to be a girl sitting opposite. The girl saw pockmarked Zhou, the face as if still showing joy, the week pockmarked Zhou look embarrassed, quickly the hat brim to downward pressure.
“Comrade PLA, where are you going?” The girl smiled and asked. It’s not important to ask, Zhou pockmarked with excitement: due to his condition, many girls see him to avoid, what’s wrong today, could it be that he really wants to get lucky?
“I’m going to Hoo.”
“Ouch! Great, I’m going to Hooch! What’s your name, Comrade PLA?”
Pocky Zhou was a bit intoxicated: “My last name is Zhou.”
Just like that, the two of them croaked. It turned out that the girl was a teacher, teaching at Yangjia Lane Primary School in the Old City, and lived not far from Pocky Zhou. Zhou told her about his misfortune, and the girl expressed her sympathy for him. When we were almost at the station, the girl said sincerely, “Comrade Zhou, I have a request, if it’s convenient for you, could you come to our school and meet my students?” It doesn’t matter what you say, Zhou pockmarked the heart, but it’s a blast: other girls see to hide, but she still let me go to their school, it’s a big break, could it be that she is interested in me? Such a pretty girl, Pocky Zhou would love to chat with someone for a while, can you refuse such a request?
After getting off the bus, the two soon arrived at the school, the girl took Zhou pockmarked into the classroom, the students saw the teacher coming, the class president shouted “Stand up!”
“Hello, teacher!”
“Hello, students!”
After the teachers and students greeted each other, the students all sat down. The female teacher pointed to Pocky Zhou and said, “Students, this is Uncle Zhou of the PLA, greetings to Uncle Zhou.”
“Hello Uncle Zhou!”
“Do you all know why I invited Uncle Cho here?” The female teacher pointed to Asako Zhou’s face and said, “Watch this, everyone, if any of you don’t get vaccinated, Uncle Zhou’s face is your future!”
Asako Zhou stood on the podium, his face red and white and embarrassed. He’d forgotten how he’d left that classroom. He said to me that later on, whenever he passed by that school, he hated it so much that he could not wait to rape the female teacher and set that classroom on fire.
Pocky Liu.
Carpentry crew chief Liu Pocky, the previous article has been a special note, here no longer repeat.
Forty years have passed, I do not know how the hemp brother and sister have been? Isn’t it time for Ma to have a grandchild? Did Asako Yoon and his wife grow old together? Is Pocky Chai still alive? Is Pocky Chow still alive? I miss them and have nowhere else to ask, so I can only wish them the best in my heart.
