On August 5th, there were two new emails from Xuantian College
…………
"Are you here?" Xiao Fen felt excited. He opened the two emails. Sure enough, one was the admission notice of Xuantian College, and the other was about admission-related matters. The admission procedures in this era were very simple.
At that time, you only need to bring your electronic ID card for verification, and there is not even any tuition fee, because all education expenses are funded by the government, and students only need to be responsible for their own food and accommodation expenses.
Xuantian College, the most famous college in the south of East Asia and China, is also one of the most famous colleges in the world. Four of the five most famous colleges in the world are in China. This is why there are so many talents in China, and the Earth Parliament is only
The reason is that more than half of the council members are from China.
"Congratulations, Master!" The personal manager intervened at the right time, and two glasses of red wine were brought to Xiao Fen.
Xiao Fen nodded excitedly. Xuantian College is famous for its field of psychodynamics and is his dream place to study. In the society he lives in, the two fields of space exploration and the development of human potential are the most popular subjects. However, Xiao Fen
He has never been very interested in the space school. For him, developing his own potential seems to be much more useful.
A capable person, what a glorious name.
He took the red wine from the robotic arm, clinked a glass with the personal manager, and whispered: "It's worth celebrating!"
The red wine was fragrant. He took a sip, and then quietly lowered his head. His eyes gradually blurred, and the appearance of a kind silver-haired old man gradually emerged. The old man was smiling, so kindly and peacefully. He felt sour in his heart.
Suddenly I recalled the scene a few years ago...
"Grandpa Dean..." he murmured.
In 2499, an orphanage in the West District of City S——
As autumn approaches, the yellow leaves on the trees fall one by one.
The environment of the orphanage is beautiful, but no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it cannot replace the sadness and loneliness in the eyes of the children... Although the orphanage has excellent conditions, it cannot replace two simple words - family love. Since childhood, there have been no relatives.
, not everyone can understand the terrible feeling of loss without a warm family.
12-year-old Xiao Fen stood quietly in the yard, trying hard to piece together the appearance of his parents, but it was all in vain, because his parents had never appeared in his sight since he could remember... What are relatives?
In his heart, it is just a code name, a symbol that symbolizes distant happiness.
"Child, what are you thinking about?" A kind old man came behind him, gently stroked Xiao Fen's furry little head, and asked softly.
Xiao Fen turned around nervously, then relaxed again, his eyes showing a bit of joy and a bit of sadness.
"Grandpa Dean, I'm wondering what my father and mother are like." He responded calmly.
The person who came was the director of this orphanage, a very kind old man. He once held a high position, but had no children. After retiring to the second line, he donated all his money to charity and built this orphanage.
He lives in an orphanage. He treats all the children here as his own, and uses his love to melt the shadows in their young hearts little by little.
Hearing Xiao Fen's answer, the old man felt sad. These children are very sensible and obedient, but they have to bear much more burdens alone than others.
"Child, your parents must be very outstanding people." The old man looked at Xiao Fen lovingly and whispered.
"Really?" Xiao Fen's eyes flashed with excitement. Although he had never met his parents, the child didn't want his parents to be great people.
The old man nodded and touched Xiao Fen's head. "If they know you are so obedient, they will be very happy."
"Yes." Xiao Fen nodded seriously.
"Kid, look." The old man led Xiao Fen out of the yard and pointed to the city buildings in the distance.
"This is your motherland and your home. All the people here are your relatives. You must work hard and use your abilities to repay your motherland when you grow up!" the old man said word by word.
"But doesn't the book say that the world has been unified and there are no longer distinctions between countries?" Xiao Fentian said honestly.
The old man smiled and shook his head: "No, kid, you are still too young. When you grow up, you will understand that there are still people in some parts of the world who are jealous of our motherland because we are too powerful! This world is not what you think.
It’s so peaceful to see.”
Xiao Fen nodded as if he understood, and then said: "Then why don't we arrest them?"
"Child, just arresting is useless." The old man looked at the blue sky. "Only when our motherland becomes stronger can we fearlessly defy all enemies who dare to oppose us."
"Well, I will definitely work hard and become a useful person to the motherland in the future, for my motherland! My home!" Xiao Fen replied firmly with a childish tone.
"Okay, okay!" The old man looked up to the sky and laughed. He patted Xiao Fen's little back and said: "If you are ambitious, I, a Chinese man, should be so ambitious. Grandpa Dean will watch you and watch you become useful to the country.
people!"
As autumn approaches, the yellow leaves on the trees fall one by one...
Three years later, S Central Hospital, Special Care Ward——
The space is pure white, surrounded by white curtains, white walls, and white sheets, making it seem like a quiet paradise.
There is an old man lying on the hospital bed. His life is extraordinary. He has experienced too many ups and downs. He has struggled and struggled. He once had the pride of a young man, the calmness of a middle-aged man, and the age of old age.
Man's wisdom has seen too many things in his life. He has watched the rise of his motherland, watched the enemy's conspiracy be destroyed, watched the world become unified, and watched his own life gradually burn to the end.
He should have no regrets, but he did. He remembered that he had promised a stubborn young man to watch him grow into a person useful to the motherland, but now he was about to break his promise... How much he wanted to see him again
After a few more years of life, I watched the young man with clear eyes fulfill his vow.
His kind eyes looked towards the ceiling, and the weak sparks of life were burning quietly, which vaguely revealed the memory of life. He was tired, and maybe it was time to rest. The only thing he missed was maybe the child.
…………
The 15-year-old Xiao Fen stood on the hills outside S City. Although he was once ignorant, he still knew now - the dean who took care of him was not an ordinary person. He also knew that
The kind old man is leaving now, going to a far away place. He will never come back, will never be able to look after him, and will never have the chance to see him become a useful person to his motherland.
He buried his head, and painful tears fell from his cheeks. He hated himself for being timid and for not daring to see the dean's grandfather for the last time.
"Why..." he murmured to himself, "Grandpa Dean, you promised me that you would see me become a useful person to the motherland. You promised..."
He is leaving City S, he is going to City A, he is going to start his own life, and he is going to fulfill his promise.
He finally looked in the direction of City S. He mustered up all the strength in his body and shouted in that direction: "Grandpa Dean, I will fulfill my promise, I swear!!!!"
Determined shouts echoed between heaven and earth...
…………
The old man has entered the last stage of his life, and the scenes of the past are replayed before his eyes, as if he is watching a silent movie. That is his life!
The picture changed rapidly, and finally settled on three years ago, that yard with falling yellow leaves, that orphanage, that child with clear eyes, what a beautiful scenery... He sighed, but felt a little disappointed in his heart. Then he
The pupils of his eyes began to gradually fade and disperse, and the surrounding scenery slowly turned black...
"Grandpa Dean, I will fulfill my promise, I swear!!!!!"
He seemed to hear a faint voice, a voice that made him feel very reassured...
The old man left with a peaceful smile on his lips.
On May 14, 2502, old man Zhou Rui left this world after completing his 101-year life journey. This old man who made China rise with unparalleled courage and single-handedly promoted world peace passed away quietly.
On May 14, 2502, flags were flown at half-mast in all regions of the world to mourn the death of a great statesman.
On May 14, 2502, Xiao Fen boarded the train to City A in order to fulfill his vow. He was 15 years old that year.
…………
August 10, 2505, Orphanage in West District of S City——
In the eyes of the world, this place used to be an unknown place, but now, it is a place where tourists gather... because they all know that a great old man walked the last journey of his life here and left his
The last wish is buried here.
There is the grave of old man Zhou Rui here, and there is a secret wish of the old man here. No other person except Xiao Fen and the old man knows this wish.
A special guest came here today. He was wearing a formal black suit and trousers, black sunglasses, and holding a bouquet of white flowers. His expression revealed a sense of nostalgia and solemnity. But outside
From a human perspective, it is an expression of pilgrimage.
"Sir, the grave of Grandpa Dean is here." A young man led him to the black marble tombstone hidden behind the trees. The tombstone had been cleaned very clean, and various wreaths had already been piled next to it.
"Little monkey, you have grown taller again." The guest in a black suit showed a kind smile.
The young man leading the way was shocked. He turned back to look at the guest with an expression of disbelief.
"What? Don't you know me?" the guest said with a smile.
"Brother Xiao!" The boy known as Little Monkey made a move to pounce on Xiao Fen.
"No, no, I don't want to be misunderstood by others." Xiao Fen quickly pushed the young man away, and the latter blushed slightly and showed an embarrassed expression.
"Brother Xiao, are you here to visit grandpa's grave? Do you want me to call Yaya and the others?" the young man said excitedly.
Xiao Fen shook his head: "Not today, let's do it in three years! Three years later...I will definitely fulfill my promise to grandpa. Before that, I don't want others to know that I have been here."
The young man nodded a little disappointedly.
"Leave me alone with Grandpa." Xiao Fen said softly.
"Three years, I believe in you, Brother Xiao!" After saying that, the young man left quietly.
Xiao Fen looked at the black tombstone, showing that nostalgic and solemn look again. Although the area around the cemetery was already very clean, he still cleaned it carefully again, and then gently placed the bunch of white flowers on it.
Go to the tombstone.
"Grandpa Dean, I'm here to see you. How are you doing alone..."
"Grandpa Dean, have you seen that I am getting closer and closer to the goal I promised you."
"Grandpa Dean, I will definitely become a useful person to my motherland, please believe me!"
A touch of sadness spreads out from all sides, converging into a small poem in which faith and trust are intertwined...
