On a peaceful and quiet morning, the vast land was filled with a thin white mist, like a wonderful dream.

A huge red sun rose from the eastern horizon and radiated a brilliant light that shone on every mountain, every river, every city, every village, every family, and every ordinary and unordinary person.

Anxi City, the capital city of Hexi Province, ushered in another warm and peaceful day.

Liu Hong, the deputy mayor of Anxi City, who got up early, stole a little free time, walked to the wide balcony of his house, and happily bathed in the glow of Wandao.

In Anxi City, Liu Hong is a household name. She used to be a well-known news anchor of Anxi TV, the director of Anxi TV, the director of the Cultural Bureau, and the director of Anxi Radio and Television. Her struggle can be said to be the best example of the success of an ordinary little person.

Liu Hong looked at the beautiful city of Anxi from afar, and vaguely saw the towering TV transmission tower, the magnificent art theater, and the majestic and solemn municipal party committee building among the rows of high-rise buildings, and couldn't help but look back on his past.

A girl born in the countryside, because of her strong personality and lofty ambitions, she is unwilling to be an ordinary woman with a good wife and mother, after years of tenacious struggle and struggle, she finally became the deputy mayor step by step from a broadcaster in a remote village, and achieved enviable results.

Liu Hong sighed, the 50 years of my life are 50 years of hard work, 50 years of blood and sweat, 50 years of joy, anger and sorrow, 50 years of challenges, 50 years of scenery, and 50 years of good words.

Affection, affection, love, family, happiness, career, status, dignity, honor...... It all turned out to be a dream!

Liu Hong's previous name was Liu Hong, and his real original name was Niu Yuehong, but that was all from the past.

Origin has always been Liu Hong's heartache.

On September 18, 1964, Niu Yuehong was born in a remote village in Jinshan County, Hexi Province. She is the third oldest in the family. Because she has two older brothers, her birth has added bright colors to the Niu family and brought laughter to the Niu family.

Niu Yuehong's father is called Niu Fushou, and his ancestral home is Xialin County, Hedong Province, which is known as the crown of poor countryside. Niu Fushou's family was poor when he was young, and he only went to school intermittently for a few days in a private school, and he learned a few big characters. At the age of 18, Niu Fushou was arrested by the county, joined the Kuomintang army, and went to Hexi Province, which is located on the border.

In the autumn of 1949, Commander Tao, the head of the Kuomintang province of Hexi, declared an uprising when most of the country had already been liberated. Hexi Province was peacefully liberated. Niu Fushou and most of the other soldiers were reorganized into the Chinese People's Liberation Army as Kuomintang insurgents, and were stationed in Hexi Province in situ.

Later, Niu Fushou felt that the land in Hexi was flat, the climate was mild, and the natural conditions were much better than those in his hometown, so he chose to be demobilized on the spot in Jinshan County and became a village cadre in a small village.

Niu Yuehong's mother is called Zhang Guilan, originally from Qingdao, Shandong Province, pungent and capable, with a certain culture. In 1958, Zhang Guilan came to Hexi Province as a hot-blooded young man to support the frontier, and was introduced by the leader to marry Niu Fushou, an honest and somewhat shrewd village cadre.

Niu Fushou and Zhang Guilan can't say that they are in love. This noisy couple lives an ordinary life like everyone else. They raised three children, two sons and one daughter.

In 1960, the first child was born, a boy. Niu Fushou happily closed his mouth: Our old Niu family finally has a queen in Hexi, and we can take root here after that.

Niu Fushou happily ran to the small store to buy a pack of cigarettes and gave it to Li Xizhi, the most educated propaganda officer in the production team: "Da Xiucai, help me choose a good name for my child." ”

Li Xizhi smiled and asked, "Congratulations!

Niu Fushou said proudly: "Baby!"

Li Xizhi held his chin in his hand and pondered for a while, and used a fountain pen to neatly write the three names of Niu Geng, Niu Qianli, and Niu Xinguo on the old newspaper.

Niu Fushou squinted his eyes and thought for a while, feeling that the first two names were a bit bookish and not suitable for his children. The name Niu Xinguo has a bit of meaning, New China. So, Niu Fushou decided to name the boss Niu Xinguo.

In 1962, a second child was born, another boy. Unfortunately, Li Xizhi, a great talent, went to visit relatives in his hometown in Zhejiang.

Niu Fushou made his own proposal and named the second child Niu Xinjiang to build a new frontier, which is logical with the name of the boss, and has revolutionary significance.

In the late autumn of 1964, the third child fell to the ground, a daughter with a loud cry.

Niu Fushou happily looked at his daughter's cute little face, and was very happy. He wondered what to call his baby girl. I thought of a few names, but I couldn't make up my mind. He decided that he had to invite Li Xizhi, a big showman.

At that time, Li Xizhi had already been transferred to the commune as a cadre. Niu Fushou carried a sack of large watermelons on the last crop of autumn, braved the cold rain and rushed to the commune to ask Li Xizhi for help: "Da Xiucai, you have to rely on cultural people at a critical time." ”

Li Xizhi looked at the three big watermelons in the sack, and was moved by Niu Fushou's sincerity, and wrote down three words with a stroke of the pen: Niu Xinli.

Niu Fushou muttered in his heart when he saw this name, he was still angry. He walked home full of worries, looked up and saw the moon red blooming in the flower pot on the windowsill, and couldn't help but light up in his heart, and called Niu Yuehong!

The scientific name of Yueyuehong is geranium, also known as foreign hydrangea, because it blooms all year round, so people call it Yueyuehong by the way, and because it exudes a special smell, many people call it stinky hydrangea. Yueyuehong does not have high requirements for the conditions of growth, and it can take root and sprout and spit green and bloom when it is inserted into the soil at will.

Niu Fushou has always liked Yueyuehong very much, and planted seven or eight pots at home, filling the front and rear window sills.

Regarding her origin, origin, birthday, name, and gender, Niu Yuehong has been very dissatisfied since she began to be sensible, and has been avoiding and covering up almost all her life. She hopes that after she is a famous family, she is invincible on the road, and she speaks in a good way.

In her eyes, big cities like Beijing and Shanghai are places to be proud of. Hedong Province is poor and backward, and there is really no place to show off. Before 1998, as long as someone mentioned the word "Hedong", her heart would be as uncomfortable as an electric shock.

She always proudly tells others: "Our hometown is Qingdao City, Shandong Province, the old revolutionary area. ”

As if this was the only way to elevate her status.

Born in the countryside was also a psychological obstacle for her later efforts to move forward. She feels that the interpersonal relationships in the city are intertwined, and the interests are intertwined, which is not sincere enough. If it weren't for the enviable announcer work, she wouldn't have stepped into their circle.

The most annoying thing is the rustic name Niu Yuehong, which has neither far-reaching meaning nor a foreign atmosphere that makes people feel good. As long as Niu Yuehong sees the moon and the red flower, she will blame her father Niu Fushou for giving her this name.

Before she gave birth to her own child, she always complained about why her mother didn't give birth to her a day earlier or a day later, but she was born on September 18, the sad day of the "918 Incident", so that the day of her birthday was full of national shame.

She hated herself for being a woman, not a man. Because it's a world dominated by men. The head of the household is a man, the child has to follow the father's surname, the cadres of the production team are all men, and the big leader of the unit is still a man.

As a woman, you have to abide by complicated and pedantic old rules, you can't laugh casually like a dog and a big hair, you can't stay at your partner's house at will like the eldest brother and the second brother, you can't expose your body like a man in the summer, and you can't stand and pee like a man.

She resents the world.

She curses the world.

She concluded that this male-centric world was not fair at all. She is determined to shatter this "bastard" world and build a new world dominated by her, Niu Yuehong.
