This city in the south is always warm, and the leaves never wither!

Standing alone outside the window, the mango tree, dressed in green all year round, calmly watched the fluorescent lights in the dormitory building turn on and turn off with a bang.

The lights were turned off, and the day passed.

Where has the time gone?

It's winter in a flash.

In this city in the south, the winter is also warm, but the winter of 2002 was cold, a warm wind blew, and everyone felt the freezing cold in their hearts.

It was definitely a desperate winter!

For everyone who works in Shenzhen, that winter will never be forgotten for the rest of their lives, the "SARS" in 2002 was like a huge shadow, suddenly running out of the devil's black box, dancing and shouting on the street.

The world outside the factory suddenly became panicked.

Eyes, look your last!

Arms, take your last embrace! And, lips,

O you the doors of breath,

Seal with a righteous kiss

A dateless bargain to engrossing death!

On a winter night, they flipped through the original English book of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, and under the fluorescent lamp, they read aloud the above passage together.

People who love each other can't see their lover die!

Reading Romeo's weeping words, He Xueyi's eyes suddenly widened, and she asked with fear: "Liu Gong, will we die in SARS?"

News reports say that people in the city are infected with SARS every day, and from time to time people die in despair.

She is very sad, these days, life is like a year.

The orphan had a great fear of death.

Her mind kept coming to mind her mother and father in heaven.

My father had already reflected on himself and got rid of his habit of eating and being lazy, and in heaven, would he and his mother ever meet? They should no longer quarrel, and in heaven, like ordinary husband and wife, they must have lived a life of mutual affection.

She has been praying for a fairytale beautiful love to come, and the story with Wang Shiyi is not beautiful, it can only be said to be a pitiful love.

In retrospect, there is only pain.

That poor love, doomed to an untimely death, has withered and withered prematurely.

Fate always seems to be unfair to her, when today, she feels that she is bathed in a beautiful sunshine, she faintly feels that the truly beautiful love is coming, but the daunting SARS is also coming, everyone lives in a huge shadow, she feels uneasy.

Living in this city, the news of death is coming one after another, and she feels that her life is coming to an end!

She felt hopeless and unwilling.

"He Xueyi, don't worry, the country will have a way, the vaccine will be developed soon, we will not die in SARS, a better tomorrow is waiting for us. Liu Lan's heart was also full of fear, but at this moment, in front of a beautiful woman, he suddenly had the innate heroism of being a male citizen in his heart, and his expression was as firm as General Yue Fei on the execution ground.

"It's messy, everything is messed up, it's messed up outside!"

"Now that the industrial park is closed, you have to believe that even if SARS is a monster and a devil, it will not be able to enter, we are safe here, and we will not die." Looking at He Xueyi's frightened look, Liu Lan said loudly, he wanted to use his heroic spirit to dispel the fear in the heart of this weak woman.

"Hmm!" He Xueyi nodded, and her heart was much quieter.

"Don't think too much, let's continue to learn English, you have to prepare for the exam well, the English exam will come soon. Liu Lan knows that when a person forgets himself to study, he can forget his fear.

"Hmm!" He Xueyi nodded.

So, in the apartment dormitory, the sound of them reading aloud began to echo again, and it became lively and energetic.

"Eggs!" When he was taking a break, Liu Lan took out two eggs from the drawer, which surprised He Xueyi very much!

"You're going to be preparing for your graduation exams, and you need nutrition!" he said, putting the egg in the electric kettle.

"Liu Lan, you connect the power supply privately, you are illegal!" He Xueyi is a person from the personnel department, and the company clearly stipulates that you can't privately connect the power supply to cook in the dormitory!

"Shhhhh

She originally wanted to insist, but when she thought of the tall man in front of her, he also needed nutrition, so she compromised.

Before SARS, at least on weekends, everyone could go to nearby taverns to improve their food, go to nearby supermarkets to shop, and improve their nutrition, but now that the industrial areas are closed, everyone can't go out.

A little bit of food is really hard to come by!

"Where did you get these eggs?" He Xueyi asked in surprise, the eggs in this industrial park have already been snatched away, how did Liu Lan's eggs come from?

"He Xueyi, I bought it from outside!" Liu Lan smiled!

"Did you go out to buy eggs?

"Wearing a mask!you'll be fine!" Liu Lan smiled again!

At noon today, he borrowed a bicycle from his colleagues, and after lunch, he pedaled the bicycle like Nezha stepped on the Hot Wheels, and took a big circle outside the industrial zone.

Yes, the shops outside are basically closed.

The streets are sparsely populated.

After finally finding a store that sells grain and oil, and after buying some eggs, he feels like a victorious general, and he has returned triumphantly.

"Liu Lan, don't do such stupid things in the future!" When He Xueyi learned the story behind the egg, she was so moved that tears flowed out.

Going outside the industrial zone, at that time, it was tantamount to going to the ghost gate.

"I'm so tall, even if SARS is the devil and Satan, I'm not afraid!" After Liu Lan finished speaking, he stood up and straightened his chest!

Liu Lan's powerful appearance made her burst into tears and laughed, yes, such a fresh young man, SARS will definitely not be able to take him away.

After a while, the eggs were boiled, Liu Lan took them out with chopsticks, handed one to He Xueyi, and said, "Beauty, eat it while it's hot!"

On a winter night, the two of them each peeled one, pinching the porcelain white egg, He Xueyi thought to herself, she must give this egg a ceremony, so she stood up and said, "Cheers to the hard-won egg!"

With that, she gently lifted the egg as if she were raising a wine glass.

The two of them touched each other in the air and said, "Chest!"

Eggs from hard scratch taste so sweet!

Liu Lan just peeled off the egg white and ate it, and when He Xueyi didn't pay attention, he stuffed the egg yolk into her mouth.

After eating the eggs, they opened the English textbook again, and began to chatter, the tone of English is high and low, rich in layers, Liu Lan has practiced crazy English, the pronunciation is like a roar, and the reading is full of passion.

In that cold season when the outside world was in a panic, they used English words to keep warm, expelling the clouds in their hearts and dissipating the loneliness that came from nowhere.

Naturally, under Liu Lan's careful guidance, He Xueyi's English improved rapidly!

When the cold winter passed, they sat together in the spring breeze and were free to talk about their work in English, or sing an authentic song in English, or talk about a famous Shakespeare play together.

"You can understand the BBC news!" Liu Lan was amazed at her rapid progress.

"I'm far worse than you!" He Xueyi responded!

In this world, the heavens are fair!

It will never fail the well-intentioned!

In the spring of 2003, He Xueyi was definitely deeply memorable, she got a high score in English, and finally passed the English unified examination as she wished.

It was an important point in her life.

She was supposed to step into the ivory tower in '99 and get her bachelor's degree in 2003!

But the sky let her get a bachelor's degree in another way, as scheduled!

She succeeded!

In the summer of that year, SARS was defeated! The summer sun fought fiercely against the "SARS" demon, and the monster finally exhausted itself and obediently rolled back into its black box, so the closed restaurants and bars began to open their doors again.

On the street, which has been quiet for several months, Eason Chan's sad love song "Ten Years" is played everywhere, walking past fashionably dressed young red men and green women.

People living in the city of Shenzhen began to sing and laugh again.
