"I envy Dean, I like the feeling of being 'on the road', which is nothing more than experiencing a free and carefree lifestyle." This sentence can be said to be Zhong Yuemin's declaration of his pursuit of life.

When he met the Qinling Mountains while jumping in the queue in northern Shaanxi, he also said, "The words of Kerouac are really good. I am still young and I am eager to hit the road. With the original passion, I pursue the original dream and feel the original feeling. experience, let’s hit the road.”

When he returned to the capital and reunited with Zhou Xiaobai, he said, "Unless you, like me, voluntarily choose to live a life 'on the road', can you do it?" Zhong Yuemin has always maintained this belief. He has the ability and capital to live such a life. Life, but Zhou Xiaobai was different. It was not until many years later that she recovered from the influence of Zhong Yuemin.

Shen Long accepted her kindness and didn't want her to struggle for so long in her life, so he came here and said so many words. Whether Zhou Xiaobai made changes or decisively woke up, it would always be better.

Shen Long continued, "Since you like him so much, there is no harm in reading this book."

When Zhong Yuemin read "On the Road" many years later, he suddenly discovered that the beliefs he had followed for many years were all in Kerouac's book.

After saying that, Shen Long stood up and said, "Okay, that's all for today. I should go back to the hospital. After I go to northern Shaanxi, I will help Yuemin go to the army as soon as possible. You should also think about this carefully. .”

"I know, I'll go find this book and read it carefully soon." Zhou Xiaobai woke up, and after hearing what Shen Long said, she realized that she still knew too little about Zhong Yuemin.

After coming out of the park, the two parted ways. Shen Long went back to the hospital. Zhou Xiaobai didn't go to Zhong Yuemin's house. She went to find the book "On the Road" that Shen Long mentioned and read it at home for several days.

After reading it, the smile disappeared from her face, which made Zhou Zhennan think that something had happened. Zhou Xiaobai thought that he was about to leave home and was reluctant to let them deal with it.

The day before Zhou Xiaobai left home to join the army, Zhong Yuemin saw her off at home. If it had been before, Zhou Xiaobai would have been moved, even flattered. But after watching "On the Road" and comparing the words and deeds of the protagonist and Zhong Yuemin, Zhou Xiaobai felt that just as Li Kuiyong said If that's the case, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to tie up Zhong Yuemin.

The living room of Zhong Yuemin's house was quiet, and Tchaikovsky's "Melancholy Serenade" came from the gramophone, and both of them felt a touch of sadness flowing in their hearts.

Zhong Yuemin and Zhou Xiaobai each held a glass of red wine in their hands, and they looked at each other silently. Zhong Yuemin raised his glass and said, "Xiaobai, you are leaving tomorrow. I will practice it for you and drink this glass."

Zhou Xiaobai's eyes were blurry, "Don't do it, take a sip, okay?"

"Why?"

"The wine in the glass is gone, and the banquet is about to end, but I don't want it to end." The two of them took a sip each.

Zhong Yuemin sighed and said, "There is no such thing as a banquet that lasts forever."

Zhou Xiaobai was impulsive and almost stubbornly retorted, "If there is, there will be a banquet that never ends. My banquet will never end." But thinking about "On the Road" and Li Kuiyong's words, her words changed when she spoke. In this case, "Yuemin, what are you going to do when you arrive in northern Shaanxi?"

Zhong Yuemin said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "You can't fight anymore. The problem of patting your mother-in-law will not change for a while. You can just marry a wife and have children locally, otherwise how can you build a new socialist countryside."

Zhou Xiaobai raised his head and stared at him, without speaking for a long time. This made Zhong Yuemin a little uncomfortable. Ordinarily, when Zhou Xiaobai heard this, shouldn't he cry and scold him?

Tears welled up from the corners of Zhou Xiaobai's eyes, but she managed not to cry. She knew that the story between herself and Zhong Yuemin had to end. She took out a yellow book from her bag and handed it to Zhong Yuemin, "Has anyone read this book?"

The person who wrote the book said that you are very similar to the protagonist in the book. I didn’t believe it at first, but now it seems that it is true; I will go to the army tomorrow, and I guess you don’t want to be such a drag on me, so this book

Just treat the book as a parting gift. You also know the army I went to. If you still remember me, just write to me. If you don’t remember, forget it..."

"Xiaobai!" Zhong Yuemin was stunned. What happened to Zhou Xiaobai today? In fact, he originally planned to break up with Zhou Xiaobai today, but he didn't expect that Zhou Xiaobai actually said it before him, leaving him at a loss.

Zhou Xiaobai left quietly, and the book was placed on the table. Zhong Yuemin was stunned for a while, then picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp. He picked up the book and looked through it. He was very curious about what the book said and what it could do.

Zhou Xiaobai has undergone such a big change.

This book is not a publicly published book. It is only available in internal bookstores visited by senior cadres. It is said to be for their criticism and study. The cover of the book is yellow or gray without any decoration. It is commonly known as "Yellow Book" or "Gray Book"

, these books are very popular in the circle of Da Yuan disciples, and Zhong Yuemin and Zheng Tong have read many of them.

The story of "On the Road" is very simple. In order to pursue individuality, the protagonist Sal hitchhiked or drove with Dean, Mary Lou and other young men and women along the way. They crossed the American continent several times and finally arrived in Mexico. Along the way, they drank to excess.

He talked eloquently about Eastern Zen Buddhism, blocked roads and blocked cars when he was tired, stayed overnight in villages, wandered from New York to San Francisco, and finally dispersed like birds and beasts.

However, after turning a few pages, Zhong Yuemin was attracted by Dean Moriarty. He despised authority, ignored tradition, allowed himself to be driven by instinct and personal will, and acted crazily regardless of the consequences. This was quite similar to Zhong Yuemin's own preferences.

, watching him couldn't help but read aloud, "I'm still young, and I'm eager to hit the road. With the original passion, pursuing the first dream, and feeling the first experience, let's hit the road..."

Zhong Yuemin read the novel of more than 200,000 words over and over several times until he couldn't bear it anymore and then went to bed. When he woke up again, it was almost night.

This also made him miss the opportunity to see off Zhou Xiaobai. At the train station, Zhou Xiaobai kept looking at the platform, but she did not wait for Zhong Yuemin until the train started.

Zhou Xiaobai finally couldn't help but fell into Luo Yun's arms and cried. She knew that her first love was over, and that rebellious and handsome boy did not belong to her after all.

At this time, Shen Long sneaked out of the hospital again and walked towards Nanheng Street in Xuanwu District, where his home was, where he also had his mother, three brothers and two sisters.
