Features: The summer of 1966 was exceptionally hot. July was blazing with no clouds in the sky, and cicadas kept chirping in the shade of the trees. It was supposed to be nap time, but Xiao Ge and a few of us decided we couldn’t waste such great weather. So, we sneaked into the middle of the hallway to play with cigarette packs. It was cool and quiet there, making it an ideal spot for playing the game. That day, we played "say a few, drop a few," with four people in total. The players all had nicknames. Mine was "Erbai," as my friends would say, "the cards I play are no bigger than two hundred million." The other three were called "Shuzi," because he always lost; "Badminton," because one of his eyes was slightly crossed; and the last one was "Huangbulengdeng-Yitanshi."
