The Great Earthquake (novella) Zhang Baotong

In fact, Ye Nan was thinking about Cui Meiying the most in front of her. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoCui Meiying is a female student he has taught in the past, not only beautiful and beautiful, but also smart and sharp, with strong perception and high talent in art. Under Ye Nan's careful training, she was admitted to the Academy of Fine Arts with high scores, and after graduation, she was assigned to a famous school in the county as an art teacher. Because they often discussed and exchanged and painted together, over time, the young female teacher unconsciously transformed her respect and worship for Ye Nan into a kind of love. And Ye Nan already admired and loved this young and beautiful female disciple, how could there be anyone who was not moved by the girl's love? Yes, compared with this young and beautiful female teacher, his wife Wei Hua could not be compared with Cui Meiying, who graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts, in terms of like-mindedness and appearance. Cui Meiying's love and affection not only made him feel that he had returned to his passionate youth, but also constantly stimulated his enthusiasm and inspiration for creation. He has created more than a dozen high-quality works, two of which have won awards in the country, three in the province, several in the collection of the provincial art museum, and several more have been sold, one of which was sold to a Japanese for 200,000 yuan.

After the two fell in love for half a year, Cui Meiying was pregnant once. Ye Nan wanted Cui Meiying to have an abortion, but Cui Meiying not only insisted on refusing, but asked Ye Nan to divorce and marry her immediately, otherwise, she would give birth to the child. This incident not only made Ye Nan angry, but made him feel that this was Cui Meiying's deep love for him and he couldn't let go. So, after some contradictions and thoughts, he finally decided to divorce Wei Hua, because he felt that only with Cui Meiying could his artistic talent be more fully developed, his artistic career would have more fruitful results, and more importantly, his life would regain the kind of wonderful emotions and vitality that only young people can have. In other words, it was Cui Meiying who gave him a second youth. Therefore, he regarded Cui Meiying as the rain and dew and sunshine of his whole life, or his whole world. Therefore, when Wei Hua insisted on refusing to divorce, Ye Nan had to leave the house and children to Wei Hua, went out of the house by himself, and rented a house in the county town with Cui Meiying. Today is the two years that he and Wei Hua have been separated, and it is also the day to listen to the court's judgment on their marriage. However, not long after he left the small home where he lived with Cui Meiying, disaster struck. Therefore, at this critical juncture of life and death, the first thing he thought of was Cui Meiying.

However, when Wei Hua proposed to hurry up to save his daughter Lily, he could neither object nor reveal the secrets in his heart. Therefore, he had to agree to his wife's request, and at the risk of aftershocks and life and death, he took Wei Hua and ran towards the county. However, he did not take that shortcut, and chose a road facing the street. Wei Hua reminded him that he should take the road on the left, but Ye Nan didn't listen to Wei Hua's words at all, and ran like crazy towards the road facing the street.

Ye Nan ran all the way, and when he came to a junction on Minjiang Road, he saw thick smoke and dust billowing in the alley, and he couldn't see the situation inside clearly. He was about to enter the alley, but the intersection was blocked by a collapsed brick wall. He climbed up a pile of collapsed walls, looked inside, and saw that many buildings in the alley had collapsed in one piece, and those that had not collapsed were already crooked and crumbling. Smoke billowed and dust billowed from the entire alley. Yellow dust fell on people like large snowflakes. At this time, the alley is more like a cemetery, full of hellish gloom and horror. The survivors have long since fled, with only a handful of ghostly men or women wailing and searching for their loved ones in the collapsed rubble and piles of rubble.

Ye Nan wanted to rush into the alley, because he didn't know if the building he lived in would collapse and whether Cui Meiying would be dead or alive. Because when he left the house, Cui Meiying happened to be sleeping in the house. She was supposed to go to school to work, but because he was going to go to the court with Wei Hua to go through the divorce procedures, Cui Meiying took a day off. And she's been more than five months pregnant. This is her second pregnancy.

Seeing that he was about to enter the alley, Wei Hua grabbed him and said, "You want to die!" Ye Nan said, "My paintings are still in the house." As he spoke, he shook Wei Hua's hand away, jumped over, and jumped off the collapsed wall. Walking along the alleyway, I saw that most of the surrounding houses and buildings had collapsed, and the flying dust made it difficult to see ahead. Moreover, he could even feel the ground still shaking. However, he didn't care so much, and ran all the way around the ruins and rubble, stepping on the bricks and rubble.

Because the place where he lived was not far from the intersection, he walked past a collapsed building, and he saw at a glance the three-story building where he and Cui Meiying lived together. The small building, though visibly tilted and crumbling, had not yet fallen. When he saw that many sturdy buildings had collapsed in the strong earthquake, this small building was spared, which was indeed a bit of a surprise to him.

He climbed over a pile of broken walls and entered the small courtyard, where most of the courtyard was covered by scattered buildings, because one corner of the small building had collapsed, but it was still some distance from where they lived. He climbed over the concrete stone to the staircase in the middle of the small building. The staircase had been shaken out of the cracks, but it was still intact, so he trotted upstairs. But when he reached the third floor, he found that many places in the hallway had collapsed, and there were not only bricks and wall skins, but also honeycomb coals and stoves, buckets and gas canisters piled up everywhere.

He shouted through the passage into the hall, "Mei Ying, Mei Ying-" but could not hear any response. So, he cautiously walked around the bricks and debris in the passage towards the hall. Passing a corner, he saw that the door of his house was open, and shouted again, but there was still no reply, and he ran into the house with a quick pace. The house was a mess, with collapsed things scattered all over the floor. He didn't care much, so he went to find the oil painting called "The Goddess". This is a painting he painted specifically for Cui Meiying, and a Japanese wanted to buy this painting for 300,000 yuan, but he was reluctant to buy it. Because he poured too much effort and emotion into this painting, and the artistic expression and symbolism seem to be far beyond his own ordinary level. But most importantly, the painting depicts the person he loves the most. He can't sell the person he loves the most to someone else.
