The assembly number of the 4th company and 2 platoons is Zhang Baotong 2018.5.15

The flowers in May are purple and red, the temperature in May is comfortable and pleasant, and Miluo in May has an irrepressible yearning for the students in the four rows and two rows. At this time, Miluo has just passed the beginning of summer, clear and bright, the grass grows and the warbler flies, cool and moist, the drizzle continues, and the rainy mood fuels people's thoughts and feelings.

It was also in this season that the students of the fourth company and the 2nd platoon of the six iron middle schools in Miluo, Hunan Province turned their hearts towards Miluo at the same time. This small place, which is inconspicuous in the eyes of people, was once the spring of the flowering season of the students in the fourth row and 2nd row, the place where they let their dreams fly, and the eternal hometown in their hearts. Now they have become workers, clerks, drivers, nurses, technicians, police officers, teachers, and some have become model workers, writers, heroes of self-defense and counterattacks, CEOs of state-owned enterprises, private bosses, scholars in the United States, principals and secretaries of schools, administrative cadres of units, project managers or commanders, etc. After more than 40 years of separation, they are eager to revisit and be together.

4th Company 2nd Platoon, the name at first glance will make people think that it is a military formation, but in fact it is the 2nd class of the fourth grade. In 69, Sino-Soviet relations deteriorated, the Soviet army had millions of soldiers, and the Sino-Soviet war was about to break out. The Chinese people are all soldiers, preparing for war and famine. As a result, classes in schools also went into militarized management. This class was later promoted from the fifth grade to the junior high school, and soon after the second grade of junior high school, the sixth place of the Iron Fourth Bureau recruited workers, and a large number of students became workers by changing their household registration, and the remaining students continued to go to the second year of junior high school with the students who came from other classes, and then went to the first and second years of high school, until they went to the mountains and went to the countryside.

For many years, students have been looking for and connecting with each other, but only individually and in a small area, and the idea of bringing the whole class together originally came from Yang Weiguo and Li Lianbao. In the first two years, they began to do everything possible to find and contact, and established "QQ groups" and "WeChat groups" among the students who got in touch, gathering students scattered all over the country in the group one by one. After more than 40 years of separation, some of the students have long disappeared without a trace, but like looking for a needle in a haystack, they asked around and searched in many ways, and finally connected more than 40 classmates together, laying the foundation for the reunion of the four companies and two rows of classmates.

After a lot of preparation and preparation, the long-awaited rallying call for the reunion of the four companies and 2 rows of classmates was finally sounded. Like a lost soldier returning to the army, like a home-loving wanderer rushing to his hometown, like a long-lost child rushing into his mother's arms, the classmates put down what they were doing, overcame all kinds of difficulties, and rushed to Miluo for thousands of miles. Li Yuying, who has been taking care of her parents in Miluo for a long time, is responsible for the preparation and preparation work on Miluo's side, and she is still as dedicated and meticulous in her work as she was when she was a member of the study committee, often busy until one or two o'clock at night before going to bed, and making the preparations in an orderly manner.

The meeting was scheduled for May 11 and 12, but many of the students had arrived in Miluo four or five days earlier. They gathered together every day, inquiring and discussing who would come to Miluo one day, so that they could go to the station together to meet them. Li Huiyi rushed back from Yueyang and drove a small car back and forth between the hotel and the high-speed rail station. Kong Fanxiu didn't know how to drive, so she asked her husband to drive to help pick up the station. Every time I see a student, everyone will enthusiastically surround him (her) and hold his (her) hand for a long time, so that he (she) can identify the students present. Some students haven't seen each other for 43 years, and some haven't seen each other for 47 years, so many students can't recognize each other for a long time when they see each other. But no, when the students were still young and bookish, and now they are gray-haired and over sixty years old, how can the great changes in the rivers of more than 40 years not make us feel the passage of time and the ruthlessness of the years. Students from other places live in hotels, and some students whose families live in Miluo stay in hotels all day to accompany them. Everyone has endless confidant words, and uses all the time to catch up with other students. When it was time to eat, the male and female classmates competed for a treat, and returned to the hotel after the meal to continue chatting. Some students are almost inseparable, they are together during the day, and they talk until midnight at night, but they still refuse to leave, and even talk until two or three o'clock in the evening.

Every time I see a new classmate, everyone will add a sense of joy, like finding a lost comrade-in-arms and relative. Whenever I hear about a student who can't come, everyone can't help but feel a little lost and regretful. Gui Zhongding had already taken the train from Kunming to Changsha, but suddenly sent a message saying that his father-in-law was seriously ill and wanted to go back to take care of him. After hearing this, the students sighed. However, early the next morning, Gui Zhongding sent a message saying that he had rushed over from Kunming by car and arrived in Changsha, and the students were cheering again. Then, Song Guifeng and Yang Lihui came, and Zhou Guangcheng and Luo Qiuming also came. The arrival of each student was a great joy for everyone and made everyone excited. In order to participate in this party, Zhang Xichang entrusted his two grandsons to others to take care of, and rushed from Shenzhen with his wife. Wang Baolan and her husband are both from the Miluo family area, so she brought her husband to share this class reunion. Huang Baoqin had a waist injury and couldn't sit for a long time, so she came from Xi'an lying on the sleeper all the time. Li Mei was unable to attend the whole process of the party due to the incident, so she came to meet with her classmates on the evening of the 10th and 12th respectively. Especially at 11 o'clock on the evening of the 12th, everyone finished singing karaoke, saw Li Mei coming, and sang with Li Mei. Duan Taoying was also unable to participate in the gathering for some reason, and when she learned that her classmates were going to Yueyang Tower, she came to the gate of Yueyang Tower very early to wait for everyone and had lunch with everyone. Wang Changjie has scheduled to have kidney stone surgery in Yueyang on the 10th, and in order to reunite with his classmates, he endured the pain and chatted with his classmates for two consecutive days on the 8th and 9th. Xiao Guiying was the most unlucky, on the afternoon of the 8th, she said at my house that she must overcome difficulties and attend the party, but she was admitted to the hospital with a sudden cerebral infarction early the next morning. Yan Min, Wu Shuo, Zhang Jinlong, Xi Baofeng and Ma Huimin are all classmates that everyone has missed for a long time, and we also learned that Chen Ying lives in Changsha. However, they came to the future for some reason, which made the students deeply regretful.

Mr. Tan Mingxi also participated in our class reunion, and I couldn't imagine that a 79-year-old person could travel thousands of miles from Hefei to Miluo by car, and when a classmate stood in front of him again, he could accurately say everyone's name and impression. Seeing Teacher Tan, we can't help but think of teachers such as Peng Yunbin, Guan Bukun, Li Dongbi and Zhu Xue'e, who are a generation of famous teachers in the Six Places of Iron, who have had an important impact on our life and growth.

In this kind of atmosphere and small talk, many words hidden in the heart can be spit out, and many things that want to be said can be said to your heart's content. Before the party began, the students who came to Miluo early gathered together, took the students from other places out of town to go shopping, went for a walk in the park to watch the scenery, went to the family area to visit the old family members, and visited the old neighbors and old residents.

On May 8th, the preparatory team stayed at the Zhongdu Hotel, and the students gathered in the hotel day and night, talking about their past thoughts and expectations for the party. On May 10th, the students checked into the Miluojiang Hotel, marking the official start of the reunion of the four and two rows. At 4 p.m., the students gathered in the hall on the second floor. On the big screen, the slides of each student in each period that Yang Weiguo worked hard to edit and edit were constantly played. From those photos, we can once again see the youthful and high-spirited brilliance of the students. At that time, we were in the flowering season of life, pure, beautiful and carefree. When we "recall the past and the eventful years", although we feel that the years are like a shuttle and we have mixed feelings, we are also sincere and have no regrets, because we have not wasted our time.

Everyone took a group photo in front of the banner of "2018 Class Reunion in the Four Rows of Six Irons". Next, Zhang Junhua began to preside over the meeting. Li Yimin, the old squad leader, delivered a speech. He gave a brief introduction to the organization and preparation process of the reunion, and elaborated on the longing of the students for more than 40 years. Speaking of excitement, his voice couldn't help but tremble slightly, and his eyes began to moisten.

Mr. Tan Mingxi's speech was short and profound, he told that when the country was at the end of the Cultural Revolution and the national economy was on the verge of collapse, the students shouldered the heavy responsibility of national construction with weak shoulders, and in the past 40 years, together with their peers in the Republic, they built China into the second largest economy in the world. His words were inspiring and deeply touched us. Some people say that our generation is a generation full of disasters and difficulties, when we were growing up, we encountered natural disasters, when we were in school, we encountered the Cultural Revolution, when we should go to work, we encountered going to the mountains and going to the countryside, we should get married, we encountered advocating late marriage, it was time to have children, we encountered family planning, and it seems that all kinds of bad luck have been spread on us. I've been to some class reunions in the past, both in high school and college, and every time I see some of my classmates crying because they didn't go to college or take leadership positions. In fact, each of our students will have this or that kind of sadness and regret in their hearts. This kind of sadness and regret is not because we have endured many hardships, but because we have not achieved what we deserve. If we think that we are going through pain and suffering together with the Republic, and with the Republic we are moving from poverty to prosperity. If we think that the Yunnan-Guizhou Railway, the Beijing-Kowloon Railway, the Anhui-Jiangxi Railway, and many high-speed railways and subways throughout the country were all laid by our own hands, and we see the motherland's trains running at high speed on the railway lines we have laid, what sorrow and regret will we have? Compared with the country's danger and hardship, what are our personal difficulties and sufferings? Compared with the achievements and successes in national construction, our personal achievements and fame are really insignificant.

The performance of the cultural program was one of the highlights of the gathering. First, all the students sang together, and then Li Yuying led everyone to sing "My Motherland". Because of the busy days of work, her voice has become hoarse, so she sings very interestingly. But it doesn't matter if you sing well or not, the important thing is that everyone is happy. However, Wang Jin's moon-stepping and performance of "Listening to Mother Tell the Story of the Past" are of a very professional level. Zhou Enbao's song "Liang Zhu" fully demonstrates his violin professional level 8 skills. Li Huiyi used the flute solo to play "Raising the Whip to Urge the Horse to Carry Grain", if it weren't for the people at the scene, you would definitely think that this was the sound coming from the radio. Yang Weiguo's harmonica solo was also prepared, and the song "Red Coral" was pleasant to the ear. Li Huizhi's solo "A Pot of Old Wine" is a reserved program for participating in the bureau's literary evening, with a clear vocal range and deep emotions. Feng Lili, accompanied by musical instruments, danced solo in the sky, with deep affection. Yang Lihui, Song Guifeng, Chen Jinghong and Huang Baoqin also sang and performed for everyone, adding a lot of color to this class reunion.

The dinner was sumptuous and the atmosphere was warm. Miluo is the hometown of Hunan cuisine, and various delicacies such as roasted eel, fried salted fish, fried bullfrog, boiled skin powder, dry pot duck, braised tripe and other delicacies are placed on a large table, exuding a strong hometown flavor. But everyone didn't care about eating, and they were busy clinking glasses and toasting. Everyone first clinked glasses with the classmates at the same table, and then toasted with the classmates at the next table. For a while, the whole hall was full of cordial and warm wishes and words. It seems that whoever doesn't clink glasses with others and toast feels that they are not warm enough and polite enough. Cao Quanhai and Li Shaoxue were busy decorating the house, and at this time they put down their work in the house to raise a glass and drink with everyone. Eating and drinking, I don't know how many times I have eaten and how many glasses of wine I have drunk. Everyone kept talking, clinking glasses, and saying all kinds of greetings and praises. These conversations and greetings are like glue over and over again, sticking everyone's affection and friendship tightly together.

Everyone drank one glass after another, drank liquor and beer, and drank beer and drank drinks. The more I drank, the more I talked, but I couldn't finish the words in my heart. So, everyone left the restaurant and went back to the room to continue chatting. The male classmates were concentrated in the rooms of Li Yimin, Xie Aihua and Yang Weiguo. Everyone drank tea cup after cup and chatted from dawn to dark, and did not part until midnight. In the rooms of Li Yuying, Kong Fanxiu, Zhou Yibin, Song Chunfeng, Chen Jinghong and Zhou Chunlian, some female classmates also gathered. Three women in one play, this play is not over as soon as it is performed, and I can't bear to leave until one or two o'clock in the middle of the night. Kong Fanxiu and Huang Baoqin were in a room, and after the other classmates left, the two of them continued to talk until two o'clock, when they both said it was time to go to bed, so they turned off the lights. However, the two felt that they had not finished speaking, so they continued to talk and turned on the light again. We talked until three o'clock, when the two turned off the lights again. However, after the lights were turned off, the two were still chatting until almost four o'clock, and then they began to sleep.

In this kind of gathering, the love between men and women is naturally an indispensable topic. As the saying goes, which teenager is not in love, and which girl is not in love? At that time, although we were still young, we still had the love we longed for and the boy or girl we loved. Because he is still young, he can only tacitly hide this attachment and affection in his heart. However, when we reach the age where we can express love, we have scattered everywhere, going our separate ways, and there is no longer a chance to express each other, but this feeling is still hidden in our hearts, and it has become an unforgettable feeling for us, an eternal regret.

Among the male and female classmates, there are several pairs that the classmates feel very well matched, and they should become lifelong couples and lovers. But unfortunately this did not happen, all the girls in the class married outside men, and the boys in the class also married outside women. Therefore, some students are eager to find out the cause and inevitably ask about it. As a result, the girl said that no one came to chase her at that time. And the boys said that the girls were proud and proud, and their heads were raised high, so that people did not dare to look at them. But no matter what, everyone still hopes that they can find their favorite lover and live happily.

There are also some boys who confess that they once had a crush on a girl, but they dare not confess because of low self-esteem or timidity, so they miss the good relationship. There are also some students who deliberately make "return the pearl to tears, hate to meet when they are not married" to express their admiration for a certain classmate. In fact, there will be some male and female classmates in each class who have admired each other, and I have seen two old lovers hugging each other and crying bitterly when they met at other parties. But that didn't happen at this meeting. Some of the male and female students, although they had admired or fallen in love with each other in the past, met again this time, and all they did was to spend as much time as possible with each other during the two-day gathering, encouraging and wishing each other well.

At this meeting, every boy shook hands and held hands with many girls, and every boy was similarly shaken and held by many girls. It's something we've never had in our lifetime. Because you can't be so intimate and affectionate with so many boys or girls except for your classmates. And what this intimacy and intimacy conveys is a pure emotion and an invisible power. The purpose of this gathering of the four companies and 2 rows is to unite the students into a whole of love.
