introduction
In the "Tiangong" space station, which is more than 200 kilometers away from the earth, I am now floating by the round porthole after finishing my experimental work, overlooking the colorful planet that gave birth to our life in the twinkling stars - the earth.
Looking back at the time on the monitor, there were still a few minutes before the space station flew over my homeland, over my hometown, a small village at the foot of the Taihang Mountains.
The distance made it impossible for me to tell where my hometown was, so I could only look at the general direction in a silent daze.
It was also lunch time, and the relatives must have eaten the lunch prepared by their grandmother and mother in the small courtyard of their hometown, with the rich fragrance of hometown food.
I couldn't help but snort, as if the scent could pass through the thick layers of the atmosphere, and I could smell it through the confined space station.
Relatives, are you okay? Do you know that I am gazing at and missing you in the distant starry sky? I haven't seen you for almost two years, and I miss you so much, and I miss every plant and tree in my hometown.
The voices and smiles of my relatives appeared in my mind one by one. Father, mother, grandfather, grandmother, and my mysterious uncle.
When the image of Uncle flashed in my mind, it was suddenly fixed in my mind: Uncle was dressed in a dark and shiny skin tanned by the sun, a medium-thin figure, a hair that had not changed for decades, a thin, calm face with almost no expression, a pair of dull, godless little eyes behind the sunglasses that occasionally turned, the only living nose occasionally opened and flipped to help him breathe, and his usually tightly closed mouth.
The reason why I describe my uncle like this is because he is a severely disabled person, he can't see, hear, or speak, he is such a person who has no way to communicate with the outside world, but there are so many incredible and magical stories that ordinary people can't understand.
These stories are narrated by relatives, personal experience, and more often seen by people and passed on by word of mouth.
My uncle and I are even closer than my parents. When I was a child, I grew up with my uncle, and my parents worked far away from home, and I had very little time to accompany me.
My uncle and I have never mentioned my secret to anyone, because our secret is so magical that even now, with my knowledge and experience, I can't explain the secret story between us, and I can't know his strange secrets, and I have always acquiesced in my family's evaluation of the mysterious uncle in my heart before.
At this moment, I suddenly had an inexplicable urge that when my mission was completed to visit my family, it was time to take a moment to explore the magic of my uncle.
In just a few minutes, the space station flying around the earth at high speed has become farther and farther away from my motherland and my hometown, and my eyes are still trying to stare in that direction, and my brain and thoughts are flying farther and farther.
The stories of my uncle and my family, my friends and many people I didn't know came to me one by one......
