Chapter 46 International Friends
On the way to Buchenghe at noon in the past two days, I always heard the voice of foreigners, Tang Yi didn't care at first, and later found out that there was an international friend hidden here.
Originally, in a row of scattered storefronts on the side of the road, there is a tutoring center, which undertakes primary and secondary schools and kindergartens, because it is a storefront, you can only see the propaganda display board under the building outside, and because of the remote location, it is obvious that this is a not very well-known tutoring institution.
It was early at 12 o'clock, this was the normal time for Tang Yi to come out of the restaurant after eating, and it was also this time when the tutoring center ended class. It was also at this time that the international friend began to make phone calls outside.
This foreigner is estimated to be African, with dark skin, short hair slightly curled up and dyed semi-yellow, tall, with thin limbs, blackened eyes that are always looking around, and a little green in his early twenties.
“I'm fi
e!” Listening to that voice and tone, it should be a call to the family. It seems to be reporting safety to his family, and also telling them about his life here, everything is fine.
All are well? Actually, they are just words of comfort. Imagine his life situation here, leaving for a safe job, but he can only nest here, lonely and a little depressed.
Of course, this is indeed a job, according to his strengths, but a little inconspicuous, as for other aspects, due to salary restrictions, naturally it will not be much better, according to their habit of having dinners, it is estimated that they will come once in a long time, and it can't be too luxurious, and it can't be too decisive.
In addition, whether he is temporarily settled here or intends to survive here for a long time, if he settles here temporarily, although it is hard, but it doesn't matter, at most it is just as the experience of living in a foreign land, if it is a long-term residence here, then it will not work, one is definitely far from enough economically, the second is that life is certainly not as easy and comfortable as ordinary people, and three in the future development, here is a confusion.
Chinese sons and daughters have the habit of reporting good news but not bad news, and he is the same, but from the words and expressions, I see the difficulty of a wanderer, the sadness of a wandering filial son, and the embarrassment of an adult. They are in the well-known capital.
For a long time, there was such a voice circulating in China: the moon is bright in another country.
Yes, in the backward hometown, people have long been tired of the monotonous and repeated life, to go overseas to pan for gold, to go overseas to enjoy the lights of a foreign country, high-rise buildings, has become the choice of the Chinese people for a period of time, and when visiting relatives again, the tone of the moon in the hometown has brought to the hometown people, bringing hope and yearning to many people. And they are not easy.
Now, the motherland has become a place of "moonlight in another country", near Russia, North Korea, and Africa and Cuba, and they firmly believe that in this hot land in China, there must be their most shining dreams, or alone, or in groups.
This made Tang Yi feel a little proud, and at the same time a little worried, or sympathy sprouted from the bottom of his heart.
Sympathize with colleagues and international friends, because life is never smooth sailing, and life is never easy.
This international friend also seems to be aware of Tang Yi, Tang Yi originally wanted to say hello, but his English was too poor, he didn't dare, for fear that he wouldn't know how to talk after saying hello, so just keep it like this, meet and smile, and have a kind of friendliness between each other.
It's a little embarrassing to encounter it every time, but since this is a habit of life, why bother to change it, change will only bring more obvious embarrassment to the next encounter, so just just go with the flow, just don't bother each other.
The small training institution can hardly see the students, in fact, he also uses his own strengths to exchange food, which in itself is not an unsightly thing.
Of course, not all foreigners are like this, such as the foreign host of CCTV, who speaks Chinese very authentically, and he not only lives well in China, but also has considerable popularity.
Therefore, excellent lives are all similar, and embarrassing lives will show a sad side.
So, are you too extravagant?
A sentence of "I'm fi."
e!” expressed the helplessness and expectations of life.
I am very good! Only when a person's faith is still there, will he make the strongest voice in his heart. For the sake of life, for the ideal, for the unknown distance and glory, people are willing to endure humiliation and burden at the moment, help unexpectedly, not extravagant and decent, and do not need compassion.
Yes, compassion, that's the core value of my profession.
Compassion is a phenomenon, compassion is an attitude, and compassion is the warmest language for the people at the bottom.
Compassion for others is a state of mind, which is true in ancient China, in modern China, in developed societies, and in poor societies. She is like a good medicine, lighting a beacon for voyages when people are most pessimistic, and she is like a shackle, praying for liberation in the world where people are most self-respecting.
No one wants to be the object of compassion, the reality is true, there are objects of compassion everywhere in life, even Tang Yi has not escaped this fate, he has compassion for the poor people in the world in his heart, the lack of regrets in the world, the loss of the family, and his own unbearableness. He just didn't understand why there was so much hunger, poverty, and debt in this world.
When I returned, my international friends were gone. Maybe it's going to be class again.
Noon is a precious time for him. Of course, the same is true for Tang Yi, but Tang Yi still has a big night, where he can talk with his roommates, wander in the sea of books, walk by the river, and contact friends. In a world without relatives, Tang Yi can still live so openly, comfortably, and without scruples.
He is always thinking that there are always two sides to things, so we don't need to be too pessimistic, just like the famous poem, "Mountains and rivers have no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village". No one will spend his entire life in a lost kingdom.
Yes, be optimistic, let's be optimistic. Life has given you a test of the mountains, that is because the peak scenery is infinite, life has given you a muddy road, that is because of the flat river after jumping, life has given you rugged canyons, that is because in the quietest place the stream becomes a song.
Therefore, international friends, international friends of different colors, the Chinese people welcome you, welcome your arrival, study, and stay by yourself. I hope that many years later, you will be full of nostalgia, gratitude and reluctance to recall the time you came to China, I hope that many years later you will be determined, solid and full of hope for every trace of your heart here, and I hope that many years later you will have no complaints, no regrets and laughter about your choice. It is you who have enriched the colors and kingdoms of foreign countries, it is you who have deepened the exchanges and friendships between each other, and it is you who have strengthened the unity and unity of this world.
Don't be discouraged even if there are temporary difficulties, because we all look forward the same, and don't be discouraged even if we have shortcomings, because we are all equally wise.
Thank you for teaching me the most simple and profound words, which are by no means just a pretext, but the most responsible testimonial for yourself.
I'm fine, what about you? Tang Yi pondered the connotation of this sentence, perhaps, we have always lived too luxuriously.
