賣血，是一個早已聽聞，卻沒有深入了解的課題。
作者以一個在城中居住的鄉下人，帶出此普通不過的人文革前後的生活，而當中把所有的事情關聯起來的，便是賣血了。
通過賣血這種中國特有的"文化"，道出了故事中人物(當年的中國人(?))的多種特質：
- 無知，道聽途說
- 無常，善變，說一做二
- 奇怪的道��標準、鄰里、推理和價值觀
整體而言，故事節奏明快，簡單而易明(可能只是本人未能深入了解)，手法亦十分明顯(例如在同一頁中把百多字同一模樣的重複，以加強要表達的情感(?))。
以文革為背景的書，這應該是我看的第二本。上一本為<<棋王.樹王.孩子王>>，這兩本書也十分值得一看。
Po, thanks for lending me the book!

played Rubik's cube for quite a long time, from 3x3x3 to 7x7x7.
tried to make some special pattern with 5x5x5, like ( =| ), which is quite successful.....
centre pattern control is easy in 5x, coz it's a relative small dimension.
after having 7x, more complex pattern is doable, like ( =] ).
but unfortunately, wtih the increase in dimension, centre pattern is more difficult to achieve unity, only 5 out of 6 sides of the cube with the desired pattern......
See ! the top side of the second picture is not a ( =] ) !!!
if anyone knows how to achieve the 6th side ( =] ), please do so by leaving a comment, or is it mathematically possible (?)

Quite nice, after intermission only.
The weather sucks these days.
