Galaxy Airlines is an outlier in the global aviation industry, with its Dragon V380 aircraft currently the world's largest passenger capacity, but it only has 60 Gold seats and 6 Platinum seats on each flight.

Despite this, Galaxy Airlines still makes a lot of money, because it has 10 times the price of each Gold seat and 20 times the business class of other airlines, and each platinum seat is 20 times that of other airlines' business class, and it is hard to get a ticket.

Galaxy Airlines claims that even if the plane disintegrates in the air, its unique escape pod-style seat design can also ensure a safe landing of passengers in the most difficult terrain. In addition, the special convenient customs clearance channel, the ultimate pursuit of on-time take-off, coupled with foolproof safety, make many super-rich people even give up special planes and take bank airline flights.

There is a classic joke circulating in China's private equity circles. A Chinese private equity boss wanted to raise a huge amount of money for a cross-border merger and acquisition, and after many investigations, he got in touch with a financial institution in the United States. In order to rush to the United States for an interview at the appointed time, the bigwig reluctantly spent a lot of money to exchange for a Galaxy Airlines gold-level seat ticket from a friend, but he did not expect to raise enough funds from the super-rich people on the same journey during the flight to the United States.

The veracity of this joke is impossible to verify, but there is a general consensus in the world's top circles that Galaxy Airlines is more than just an airline, it is a mobile club for people at the top of the pyramid.

Li Jingwei sits in the Grand Lounge of Galaxy Airlines at New York JFK International Airport.

This simple yet luxurious departure room is mostly empty because the company has its own customs clearance lane, and its planes always take off on time.

It is not possible to say that there is no delay in a thundershower for 2 hours, but it is very rare. Although the weather has been notified that it will clear in one hour, Li Jingwei is still anxious when he looks at the rain outside the window that has not slowed down at all.

In Li Jingwei's view, although his grandfather is over 83 years old, as a grandmaster, he has already entered the realm of selflessness, and it is not a big problem to live for another 20 years. He couldn't believe what his father said on the phone, that his grandfather's time had come and that he wanted him to return quickly. In addition to being shocked, he didn't hear a word about his father's statement that his grandfather wanted to see him explain what happened.

Li Jingwei belonged to early wisdom, less than two years old to read, at the age of three with his grandfather babbling reciting "Analects", "University", "The Mean", "Tao Te Ching", etc., Confucianism and Taoism are not distinguished. Although I didn't fully understand the meaning, I read it a few times and memorized it.

When I was four years old, I thought it was fun to watch my grandfather play tai chi, so I followed the comparison. Listening to my grandfather, Tai Chi has the inner holy realm, the selfless realm and the divine realm. Li Jingwei didn't know what the realm of Tai Chi was, but when his grandfather played Tai Chi, he naturally had no self, and he was already in harmony with the surrounding environment.

My grandfather once said that the realm of transforming into a god is an unattainable and unattainable realm, and there is no law to follow, which is a kind of enlightenment. In the past 100 years, only Zhang Longcheng, the head of Taiji, has stepped into the half-step divine realm, and he also belongs to the first person in China.

Li Jingwei clearly remembers that during the Spring Festival the year before last, Iga Liuying Shinobi Asai Nagashi, known as Japan's No. 1, went to Wudang to challenge under the slogan of exchange and learning. Zhang Longcheng was reluctant to intervene in mundane affairs, so he asked his grandfather to come forward to deal with it. So, my grandfather took Li Jingwei to Wudang Mountain for a trip. As a result, the knife that Asai Nagazu slashed with all his strength was easily avoided by his grandfather, and he caught the back of the knife with his thumb and index finger, and he couldn't even pull out the knife. Asai Yong is also single, admitting defeat with sincerity and sincerity, and asking to leave his granddaughter Asai porcelain painting with his grandfather to follow enlightenment.

At that meeting, Zhang Longcheng stared at Li Jingwei for a while, and then asked his grandfather to worship Li Jingwei under his door, saying that the roots and bones are strange, the future is unlimited, etc., making it look like a hawker selling martial arts cheats such as "Rulai Shenzhang" and "Sunflower Treasure Book" in the movie, which made Li Jingwei smile bitterly.

After the Spring Festival, Li Jingwei returned to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to continue his doctoral dissertation, and slowly forgot about this stubble, which is still funny when I think about it now. Although he has been practicing Tai Chi diligently for more than ten years, it is more of a habit, he is not very interested, and he does not think that he has the potential to reach the so-called God Transformation Realm by Zhang Longcheng.

That meeting seriously shook Li Jingwei's understanding of the natural law of birth, old age, sickness and death. Grandfather said that Zhang Longcheng should have been over 140 years old at that time, but in Li Jingwei's opinion, he was at most in his 50s, much younger than his grandfather.

Although he has long known that the Tao of Tai Chi can strengthen the body and prolong life, Zhang Longcheng's seemingly rejuvenating phenomenon still shakes the life science concept of a science man like Li Jingwei. It is also from what Zhang Longcheng saw that Li Jingwei firmly believes that his grandfather, who has stepped into the realm of selflessness, will also live a hundred years.

After receiving a call in the early morning, Li Jingwei took the ** air ticket from the Internet, and found that the earliest air ticket that could be booked was also the day after tomorrow. In the end, Zhao Yici, who was far away in Beijing, didn't know how to help Li Jingwei get a gold-level seat on the bank airline's plane at one o'clock in the afternoon. I hoped to fly back to Puhai City as soon as possible, but it was delayed because of the weather.

This is not the first time Li Jingwei has waited for a plane, but in the past, he was able to read materials or books with a calm mind while waiting. I sat in the waiting room for two hours today, but I couldn't read the annual report of Jiexun sent by Zhao Yici. Scenes from my past life with my grandfather kept coming to mind.

In Li Jingwei's impression, whether it is endorsing or practicing Tai Chi, he does not feel any pressure, and more often he feels that it is his grandparents and grandchildren playing together.

The only thing that made him feel pressured was practicing calligraphy. Because the endorsement can be carried on the grass in the yard, rolling, or even walking the dog, and it is relatively easy to memorize, often part of the content is read two or three times to remember, and you can also show off to your grandfather that the back is fast.

And to practice calligraphy to sit at the desk in a regular manner, even the posture of holding the pen must be meticulous, which is always very reluctant for children who like to run around, and even painful.

But fortunately, when I started practicing the piano at the age of five, I didn't feel the pain of practicing calligraphy, because I had a more painful piano.

My father studied philosophy, and he may have been deeply influenced by ancient Chinese Taoist thought, and he also believed that human development should also be natural. Everything should go with its own flow and children should not be forced to learn anything.

But these reasons are obviously completely untenable in the eyes of the powerful mother. Most of the time, parents will ask their children to learn this and that in the name of love, and they also say that it is for the good of their children. My own mother is no exception.

In the past few years abroad, calligraphy has basically not been practiced, but piano and tai chi have almost become Li Jingwei's daily compulsory courses, although I don't like it very much, it is more of a habit. However, if you don't like it at all, you probably won't be able to stick to it.

Fortunately, since he was a child, studying has never been a burden for Li Jingwei, homework has always been done at school, and even in elementary school, he helped the beautiful sister at the same table to do homework for a period of time, until he was later discovered by the parents and teachers of the beautiful sister.

In Li Jingwei's memory, his grandfather is the one who accompanies him the most. During every vacation before going to university, my grandfather would take him on a trip to visit friends and find his way.

My grandfather once said that everyone is a traveler of time, walking in a short or long life journey for the "way" in their minds. Everything in the world has a time, there is a time to be born, there is a time to die, there is a time when flowers bloom, and there is a time when flowers fall.

However, when life and death really let me face it, the helplessness and helplessness are still painful.

Outside the window, it was still raining heavily. There is not the slightest sign of abating.
