Jennifer’s Photo Stories (16) 曾錚的圖片故事（16）
“Self-criticism” of 800 Words 八百字的檢討書
This photo was taken when I was about 14 years old, in junior middle school. When I look back at the three not very eventful years of my junior middle school from 1978 to 1981, there was only one thing that affected me deeply.
這張照片是我初中時照的，當時14歲左右吧。初中三年似乎沒有太多值得回憶的。只有一件事對我影響至深。
As I have shared in my article “Jennifer’s Photo Stories (12) — Banned Books Mean Everything “, I had always been hungry for books ever since my childhood.

正如我在《 曾錚的圖片故事（12）-莊稼地裏的「祕密通道」 》這篇文章中所說，我從小就是個書迷。進入初中以後，雖然爲我提供課外讀物的好朋友離開了，但我還是總能變著法子找來一些書看，正所謂「有志者，事競成」。

So I whispered my doubts with a classmate.
