South China Sea Myth

A long time ago, there was a wise and courageous young leader of the Li nationality, who upheld justice and punished corruption, and according to our words today, he was an excellent cadre who was supported by the people. So a gang of robbers who murdered and set fires, robbed houses, and plundered property, hated him to the core, and bribed one of his men, assassinated him, and hung his head from a tree. Unexpectedly, his head turned into coconut fruit, and overnight, he stoned all the robbers to death. This is a myth and legend about the coconut.

There is also a legend about coconuts. In ancient times, there was a Li girl Amei, who was beautiful and smart, and she and her husband were in love and harmony. But the head man is a ruthless pervert who killed her husband in order to seize Amei as his wife. After the death of Amei's husband, the body turned into a tall coconut #, and the hair turned into coconut leaves.

Another legend holds that the coconut tree is the embodiment of a woman. This story tells that a long time ago, there was a loving young couple, one day, the man went out to fish, the woman brought food to the sea, she stood on the seashore, looking forward to the return of the sail of the sea, but her husband did not come back, wait, wait, wait, and finally she became a slim coconut tree. It can be said that the coconut tree has been closely related to the people of Hainan for generations, accompanying them through a long history from generation to generation.

On Hainan Island, there is another legend about the coconut tree. A long, long time ago, when a woman gave birth to her fifth child, she was a coconut shell that was tumbling when she walked without hands or feet. The mother, frightened and hated, threw him into the river. Coconut shells floated and floated in the river until an old farmer picked him up. The coconut shell said to the old farmer, "Take me, and I will put it for you

."

Noon and farming. "

The old farmer agreed, and from then on, he helped the old farmer herd his cattle. The old farmer had a beautiful and diligent daughter who delivered food to the coconut husk every day. But this little coconut shell has a lot of rice, and she always complains that it is not enough, which she thinks is strange. One day after delivering food, she quietly hid behind a tree to watch the gathering, and the secret was revealed to her. It turned out that after she left, a handsome young man popped out of the coconut shell, and the girl quickly told her father about it. The old farmer was skeptical and decided to see for himself the next day. The next day, the old farmer asked the coconut shell to chop the bamboo to make a fence, and then went with his daughter to witness the young man coming out of the coconut shell. In the evening, the old farmer offered to marry his daughter to a coconut shell.

The coconut shell took the girl to an open meadow and confessed to her, "I am a dragon, but I am tired of life in the water, so I came to the shore." From now on, let's live together. As soon as the words fell, I heard a "boom", the coconut shell broke, and out came a handsome young man, and behind them, a beautiful house appeared, and flocks of cows, sheep, chickens and ducks foraged around. Since then, their husband and wife have worked hard to produce and love each other, and although the story told by Li Daping, who lives a sweet life, is not long and the plot is simple, they all revolve around an object - coconut. Among the people of Hainan, there are many beautiful and moving stories about coconut palms.

Then, everyone came to a five-star hotel for dinner, and Li Daping told his love story.

——In 1972, the second year after I entered the factory, our thermos bottle factory introduced a set of equipment from Guangzhou. At that time, as a technical leader, I was sent to a factory in Guangdong to receive training. As I walked into the door of the factory's guest house, I stepped on a woman's small foot with my big leather foot, and she immediately squatted on the ground. I hurried to help her, and the woman stood up and said, "It doesn't matter. "The sound is extraordinarily nice. I took a closer look, and this woman was wearing a military uniform, and her face was white and red, and she looked very heroic.

In the guest house where I lived, there was a small reading room, and every day I read newspapers and materials on the large round table in the reading room. I noticed that the girl who had stepped on her foot used to sit across from me. Unexpectedly, my eyes just saw her and met her eyes unexpectedly. My eyes were big and bright, and I was embarrassed to see them.

One day, she was the only one in the reference room, and she walked up to me with a spring breeze on her face and asked me in Mandarin, "Are you here to study?" I said, "Yes, what about you?" She smiled: "Me too, which unit are you from?" I said, "I'm from Hubei Thermos Bottle Factory." She said: "I am a military enterprise in Sichuan, and the name of the factory must be kept secret. With that, she giggled. Her laughter was exceptionally pleasant.

Then, we exchanged each other's names, and her name was Hu Jing. Class of '70 junior high school students, two classes lower than me. She asked me: "Comrade Li Daping, how should the pressure stress be calculated?" I answered. There was a look of envy in her eyes. Later, when I encountered this question about mathematics and physics in technical materials, she asked me, and I patiently explained it to her.

Although I was a junior high school student in the class of '68 and didn't read much, I was very happy about physics and mathematics, and I did well in my class. When I was devolved, I taught myself mathematics and physics under the guidance of an old high school student in the same village; After entering the factory, he learned advanced mathematics with the help of an engineer. Now, I have the opportunity to show my abilities in front of a beautiful girl, and I am very happy.

I often praise her: "You speak Mandarin with a standard voice, like an announcer." She giggled: "My parents are northerners, and the family speaks Mandarin. "

One day, she changed into a pair of Beijing wedge shoes, and my eyes were fixed on her feet. An esthetician said that when a woman has a beautiful pair of feet, the cloth shoes she wears show a pair of small and delicate feet full of beauty, how charming it is. I was the most on this foot at the beginning, and I couldn't help it. She noticed my look and said, "You're looking at my shoes." "

I was embarrassed to say, "Your feet are so beautiful." "Her face was red and my face was feverish.
