The author makes liberal use of _italics_ and I have missed noting many of them, but the rest of this text file should demonstrate good proofing.

I became what I am today at the age of twelve, on a frigid （极冷的）overcast （阴的）day in the winter of 1975. I remember the precise（准确的，精确的） moment, crouching（蹲） behind a crumbling （坍塌的）mud （泥）wall, peeking （偷看）into the alley（胡同） near the frozen（结冰的） creek（小溪小河）, That was a long time ago, but it’s wrong what they say about the past, I’ve learned, about how you can bury it. Because the past claws（撕，抓） its way out. Looking back now, I realize I have been peeking into that deserted （荒芜的）alley（小巷，胡同） for the last twenty-six years.
