4 p.m. on August 25, 2014.

In the hall of the Sanshui Villa of the Water Division Camp in Qi City, a special meeting was held. In front, on a red ribbon, a banner with seventeen yellow characters written "Keshan Sprout Normal School's Sixth and Eighth Class Third Class Reunion Ceremony" was hung, and under the banner, an old man with gray hair said loudly: "The third class reunion ceremony of the sixth and eighth classes of Keshan Normal School has opened!"

As soon as his words fell, there was a deafening applause below, and when he looked at it, he was lined up, and there were three round tables, all of which were surrounded by a circle of people, all of whom were men and women who were over the age of sixtieth year, and all of them were full of happy smiles.

The opening ceremony was announced by He Dianyong, and then, the former class president, today's party initiator Zhang Shicheng spoke: "The beautiful sister and handsome guy in the past have become an old woman and an old man today, forty-six years in a flick of a finger, our gathering today is an unprecedented event, it is a half-century gathering, the significance is extraordinary, may we talk about the friendship of classmates, enjoy the beautiful scenery of Qiqihar, everyone should talk happily, have fun!"

After the squad leader finished speaking, the old people around the three round tables below applauded warmly again, all smiling and excited!

Next, it is free to speak, Jiang and classmates were the first to speak, he prepared a three-piece paper speech, his speech, reviewed the life of the former Keshan Normal for three and a half years, and talked about today's gathering, he said: "Time is like flowing water, with a flick of the fingers, we have been separated for forty-six years, and today we have changed over the years, but everything has changed from it, and it still retains the appearance of the year." ”

After Jiang He finished speaking, everyone looked at each other, a farewell is forty-six years, nearly half a century, a long road of life, several storms and rains, several springs and autumns, the youth of the past, today the twilight is boundless: squad leader, with protruding eyes, slightly chubby and fair-skinned; Jiang He, dark complexion, refreshed; He Dianyong, black and red, still radiant; Fu Guofan, thin and white, few words; Yuan Ping, the nose and eyes in the past, with clear contours; Zhou Zhenxian, thin and small, with a funny face; Zhang Wanli, thin and handsome, dignified and rigorous; Zhang Yuyan, with a slightly red face and snow-white hair; Gao Lianfu, tall, thin and clear; Zhao Yajing, not fat or thin, still beautiful; Wang Guijuan, beautiful and edible, fashionable clothes; Ban Shuxian, eyebrows and eyes are still the same, full of energy; Zhao Ruihua, short stature, gray hair; Li Limei, looks like yesterday, exquisite clothing; Shan Wenzhen, elegant and demure, gray hair; Wang Shuzhen, short and thin, face is the same; Dai Guoying, dancing style, jaw rare; Li Guihua, the appearance of the year, Mongolian flavor; Wang Huicai, slightly thin, white as yesterday; Xu Xiuli, mature and steady, no childishness; that Rongfang, steady as before, free and easy; Yin Bo, slightly blessed, strong and plump; Pang Yanli, big change, strong and energetic。

Everyone looked at each other, it was a pity that the gentleman was unmarried, and the children suddenly made the trip. The stars are moving, and the twilight years are coming. When I met today, I felt a lot of emotion. No matter which one they are, all of them are the elite of the country, and they all contribute all their energy to the great motherland.

Na Rongfang is suffering from rectal cancer, but her mental state is very open-minded, she funded the printing and distribution of a booklet, which has a small photo of her classmates in the past, as well as a photo of their classmates in Beijing, and a group photo of graduation that year. At the party ceremony, Na Rongfang read out the article "Three and a Half Years of Classmates, Love for This Life" on the title page of the pamphlet she funded, which was written with deep affection and sincere touching, and wrote at the end of the article: "Once the floodgates of memory are opened, the vicissitudes of life, the stars will change, and they will be full of memories. What can't be erased is the love of classmates, and what can't be forgotten is the friendship of friends. Yesterday more and more, tomorrow less and less, I hope you cherish today and enjoy life!"

In the middle of the ceremony, she called Hou Shuhua, who was seriously ill in BJ, and she was very excited and said a lot of heartfelt words, the central meaning of which was to wish the reunion a complete success, say hello to everyone, and regret that she could not attend the party due to illness. Hou Shuhua also funded a photocopy of a group photo of all the students working on the farm that year, one for each person.

Then, everyone spoke enthusiastically, and the sincere words stirred people's hearts, the atmosphere was lively, and the scene was warm......

On this night, free activities, most of the students went to the song and dance hall of Sanshui Villa, got together after a long absence, talked enthusiastically, really recalled the past, the wind is in its prime, pointing out the country, inspiring the words, the glorious years are thick;

Before breakfast the next day, the class leader taught health exercises, a total of ten styles: rejuvenation of the two eyes, rejuvenation of the jade face, turning the stars, opening the world, yin and yang, three stars and the moon, five qi chaoyang, torrent bravery, all directions, standing against the sky. The squad leader explained and demonstrated, and everyone followed the drill and was very serious. The squad leader also wrote a detailed explanation of the exercise and handed out a copy to each person. The class leader has a lot of research in cultivation and health preservation, and he thinks about the physical and mental health problems of his classmates, and he deserves to be a leader.

After breakfast, everyone took a bus to visit the Longsha Zoo and Botanical Garden in QQHE City. It took about 40 minutes for the car to arrive at the Lonza Botanical and Botanical Garden.

As soon as she arrived at the Botanical and Botanical Garden, Rong Fang said goodbye to everyone, her relatives came to pick her up and return to Beijing, her physical condition could not hold on, this farewell, I don't know when we will meet again, perhaps, this will be forever.

Lonza Botanical and Botanical Garden, this tourist attraction, is mainly for viewing a wide variety of animals. We saw baboons, golden monkeys, foxes, tigers, wolves, dogs, lions, red-crowned cranes, and a bird with a body like a red-crowned crane, but with a peacock-like cherry blossom on its head, whose name we don't know.

These birds and beasts are pleasing to the eye, animals and humans are originally friends, coexist peacefully, and decorate the beautiful home of the earth together.

After arriving at the Botanical and Botanical Garden, where the scenery is good, everyone will take pictures there, there are group photos of 23 people, as well as a small range of group photos and individual photos, there are a total of three cameras, He Dianyong's camera and camera, Zhao Ruihua's mini PAD, Pang Yanli's license camera. Everyone took photos as much as they wanted, leaving this beautiful moment as an eternal memorial.

At eleven o'clock, go to see the dolphin show. The body of a dolphin is interesting and, of course, amusing. The whole body is jet black and smooth, they perform applause, jumping and swimming, which is very exciting, but they must be given meat to eat from time to time, otherwise, they will not play alive, this is the difference between animals and humans, but their unprofitable nature is still similar to some human beings, right?

At noon, the group took a car to Hongxing Fishing Village for lunch. This lunch is the most delicious, with cooked sweet potatoes, potatoes, pumpkins, eggplants, pure local colors, everyone loves to eat. There are also other delicacies: fish stewed vermicelli, chicken stewed vermicelli, cold skin and other good dishes, all of which are Northeast flavors, fresh and warm.

In the afternoon, drive to Mingyue Island. When I arrived at Mingyue Island, I took a battery car to the depths of the island for sightseeing. I came to a house with black tiles and white walls, called the General's Mansion. The sign hanging on the wall says that from the end of the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, there are 71 generals such as Shoushan who have lived here, and we did not go into the house to watch, because, once entered, 10 yuan per person, as for the structure and furnishings inside, there is no way to know, in terms of appearance, it is very ordinary, there is nothing special, but it is famous because there are 71 generals who have lived. Seventy-one generals were born and died in the smoke and fire, serving the country and the people, and spilling their blood in the spring and autumn, and their heroic feats were brilliant for thousands of years.

Then, everyone drove on the vast prairie by battery car, the breeze was blowing, and the whole body was comfortable. Before I knew it, I came to an antique pavilion with the words "Peony Pavilion" on it. Under the eaves of the pavilion, there is a portrait of a tiger, and according to people, no matter where you stand around the pavilion, you look at the tiger, and the tiger is facing each other. When I tried it, it turned out to be so, and I don't know how the painter designed it so ingeniously.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, everyone crossed the river by small ferry. The river is babbling and rippling. In the cabin, everyone sat on both sides, full, Zhao Ruihua took pictures for everyone, leaving this quiet and peaceful moment. When they arrived on the opposite shore, everyone took pictures freely, some on the boat, some in the grass on the shore, as they pleased.

At four o'clock, I returned to the station, Sanshui Villa.

This Sanshui Mountain Resort is the meaning of a resort. It is located in a rural area, with red tiles and white plaster walls, and the inside is made of bricks. There is a red brick wall more than one meter high in front of the courtyard, and at the upper end of the west wall, celery grows, which is more than eight inches high, verdant and vigorous. At the upper end of the east wall, there are all maas cauliflowers, the flowers have withered, and they are all purses full of seeds.

In the middle of the garden, there are plants that look like carobs, but they are not carobatos. Behind this plant, there is the grape trellis. Green and full of delicate grapes. In front of the house, there is a flower bed, there are all kinds of flowers in it, the nightshade blooms the best, the yellow flowers, refreshing and gorgeous, and the fragrance is overflowing.

On the east side of this house, there is the kitchen and dining room, on the west side of the dining room, there is a dormitory, in the door on the east side, there are a total of four huts, thirteen female students live in it, and the westernmost room is a big house, inside is a big kang, and eight male students sleep on this big kang.

The appearance of the villa is ordinary, but the service attitude is good. This is the villa of He Dianyong's friend.

The dinner on the first day was a bull's head banquet, and the dinner on the second day was a dog meat banquet. The cooking skills at the lodge are not superb, just the service.

After the meal, Wang Huicai and Li Limei left to go home by car, the two of them had something to do, some were sick, and it was inconvenient to stay for a long time.

After dinner, there were free activities, originally, everyone wanted to go to the dance hall to relax and have fun, but the sound equipment was not good, so they didn't go, there were five female classmates playing poker, and the others chatted casually.

On the third day, August 27, in the morning, everyone took a group car to visit the Zhalong Nature Reserve. When we arrived near the reserve, everyone waited in the pavilion, and Dai Guoying and He Dianyong and I chatted. After He Dianyong retired, he still had a group of people under him, who would do it if he had a job, and he was still continuing to do his business, he said, one was for recreation, and the other was that he could still have some income.

On the endless prairie, there is a dry road paved with narrow wooden planks, and on both sides is water, and the water is overgrown with reeds, which are more than a man high, swaying in the wind, and vigorous.

After getting off the bus, walk on this boardwalk and rush to the red-crowned crane settlement to watch the beautiful scenery of the cranes flying into the sky.

When you arrive at the place where the crane flies, there is a section of cement road, and in front of the cement road, there is a hill, green grass and full of vitality. This is where the crane flies. At the edge of the cement road, there are already many tourists, all waiting for the crane to fly into the sky at eleven o'clock. Everyone was looking forward to it, anxious, to see that wonderful scene.

Finally, the solemn eleven o'clock arrived! On the hill, a man in camouflage uniform, waving a red flag with both hands, after he waved it three times, a group of red-crowned cranes flew up from the grass, flying not high, each red-crowned crane was spreading its wings, its legs were straight, hovering in mid-air, there were about 20 of them, all snow-white and snow-white, against the background of the blue sky, it looked extraordinarily white and vigorous.

The red-crowned cranes in mid-air, after flying in a circle, three or five of them landed and no longer flew. Red-crowned cranes on the ground, they stroll leisurely in the aquatic plants, and with each step, their heads are stretched forward, little by little, as if welcoming visitors who come to watch them.

This is the crane flying into the sky, chic and magnificent, wonderful, but it is too short, the whole morning, and ran dozens of miles, what I saw was only a moment of moment, which made people full of regret, but this wonderful and wonderful moment was enough to make people have endless aftertaste.

At noon, lunch in the farmhouse's private restaurant, the meat and vegetarian dishes, colorful delicacies, or much more wonderful than Sanshui Villa.

At this time, Li Xiuwen, accompanied by her husband, came to the farmhouse private restaurant to meet everyone, and she was so excited that she burst into tears. Recently, she suffered from a cerebral infarction and had difficulty moving, but she still stumbled to meet her classmates after a 46-year absence, which cannot but be said to be of great significance. Her face is already a big plate, and the small plate of the past has long since ceased to exist.

In the afternoon, everyone took a car to visit Tsuru-no-Yu Onsen. It is said that there are many people in this place in summer, but now, there are not so many people, and the season has reached the Mid-Autumn Festival. Everyone went to the hot springs, but Yang Jun and I didn't go down, so the two of us sat on the sofa and chatted.

Yang Jun is very thin, she is three years older than me, she has insomnia, but her mental state is not bad, her husband has a cerebral infarction, can only be semi-self-care, or needs someone to take care of her, she came to the class reunion, is to let someone else take care of her husband instead of her.

We chatted while eating grapes and fresh peaches, and the conversation was warm and cordial. Half an hour later, Jiang He came out, and we greeted him, and he came and sat on the left side of the sofa and chatted with us.

I said to Jiang He: "One year, I saw your photos and reports in the newspaper, where did you become a leader?" Jiang He smiled slightly and said: "It was in 1984, when I was the county magistrate in Lindian, it was a model report on party affairs. So, Jiang He told about his journey as an official, which was an unusual experience.

Later, I asked again, "Didn't you write a book?" Jiang He smiled again and said, "I wrote one of the paragraphs, and I negotiated the publication of "Northern Literature", but as a result, I was sick and did not publish it. From his tone, you can analyze the regret in your heart.

Jiang He also said that he had lung cancer and skin cancer, and it has been six or seven years since then, and he has a narrow groove in the middle of his chin, and there is an obvious scalpel mark on his back.

His treatment, for a period of time, not for a long time, will cost 30,000 yuan, but it will be 100% reimbursed. His pension is more than 7,000 per month, and his family has three buildings.

Jiang He also said that his classical poetry will be published by a Hong Kong publishing house.

At half past three o'clock, the students who soaked in the hot spring came out, and seeing that they were all very comfortable, it could be concluded that soaking in the hot spring was also a beautiful enjoyment.

After returning to Sanshui Villa, a summary meeting of the party was held in the boys' dormitory. Before the meeting, everyone signed the ceremony banner, but unfortunately, this banner was left in Sanshui Villa, and when I left, I forgot to bring it back, and I don't know when and who will take it back and save it.

The summary meeting was still presided over by He Dianyong, and the squad leader summed up: "Our party was very successful, everyone talked happily, played happily, and the friendship between classmates greatly deepened, I wish all of us a long and healthy life!"

As soon as the squad leader's words fell, bursts of thunderous applause immediately broke out, and the crowd was agitated, and the laughter lasted for a long time!

After dinner, in the song and dance hall of the villa, a theatrical evening was held.

The party was presided over by Wang Guijuan, she was the literary and artistic committee of the year, first of all, the squad leader sang a song, his voice was loud and generous, and won warm applause from everyone. Next, it is Gao Lianfu, Wang Guijuan, Jiang He, Xu Xiuli, Ban Shuxian, Zhao Yajing, Zhang Yuyan and others singing, some of them sing classic songs, some sing two-person turns, and some sing excerpts from Peking Opera.

After the solo singing, it is a chorus of several people, these people are not so good at singing, Yuan Ping, Pang Yanli, Yin Bo, Dai Guoying, Wang Shuzhen, Fu Guofan, etc., but they sing about the mood and express friendship.

During everyone's singing, Zhao Yajing and Dai Guoying danced as a pas de deux, and their dancing posture was graceful, adding luster to the whole party. In particular, Dai Guoying's outfit left a particularly deep impression on me: the top, but there is nothing chic, mainly her pants, black, fat, soft, the ankle of the pants, is tight, about an inch wide, below is her shoes, my impression is not so clear, but, I feel good, it is thin, high-waisted shoes, not leather, this body-to-foot outfit, isn't it very dance-like? I think she is very free and easy.

After that, it is a free performance, some continue to sing solo, some people sing together, some everyone sings along, in short, casual and fun.

When singing freely, Jiang He and Zhou Zhen first went to the dark outside to pick flowers, and then offered flowers to the singers, especially when Zhang Yuyan sang, Jiang He put flowers in his ears, this funny action, it was really an old man talking about juvenile madness, which made everyone laugh, and the atmosphere was particularly lively.

Whether the singing is good or not, they are very devoted, and they all use their singing voices to express their excitement and show their feelings for decades.

At ten o'clock, the night was dark, and the theatrical evening ended successfully.

At breakfast on August 28, the financial management team announced the expenses. In this party, there were 21 people who participated from beginning to end, 13 female classmates, 8 male classmates, each of whom charged 900 yuan, and three people who participated in half of the party, charging 450 yuan.

At half past seven, everyone took the bus to the railway station in Qi City, and after saying goodbye, they went their separate ways.

I'm going to Daqing West, and the driving time is 12:20 p.m. I waited with Wang Shuzhen, Gao Lianfu, Zhang Yuyan, Dai Guoying, and Li Guihua in the soft seat waiting room, and at half past eleven, Zhao Yajing and Zhao Ruihua hurriedly came, and they handed over the USB flash drive of the party photos they had made to me and Li Guihua.

At twelve o'clock, Zhao Yajing, Gao Lianfu, and Zhao Ruihua and I boarded the train to Daqingxi.

This reunion, which has been held for 46 years, is very formal, organized, led, planned, arranged, beginning and end, rich in content, diverse in form, and perfect.

In March 2014, nine students living in Qiqihar and its vicinity gathered at Zhao Yajing's house in Daqing West, and they suggested that the class leader convene a reunion of the whole class, which had been planned for half a year.

At the beginning of this year, several classmates near Qiqihar got in touch, and they got together a few times. After deciding to reunite with the whole class, Xu Xiuli's son, who was a policeman, helped his mother find the classmates scattered all over the country on the public security network, found most of them, tried his best, and found a few, and finally, there were Yao Junru, Chi Shuzhen, Yu Mingqi, Fu Liande, Han Shuxia, Wang Qinglin Seven classmates were not found.

There were three classmates Li Fuyuan, Feng Guangjin, and Jiang Jun who passed away, four classmates Jiao Tiejun, Hou Shuhua, Wang Chen, and Wang Shuqin who were seriously ill and could not come, and nine classmates who did not come, including Zhu Xuewu, Yang Wenxue, Cai Wenhai, Shen Dingfa, Liu Xiulan, Wang Lijuan, Li Xinglan, Zhang Yanfen, and Meng Qingzhen. There were 20 people who did not come to the meeting, and there were 25 people who came (including those who came in the middle and those who left).

The organization of this gathering is: leading group, the leader is the squad leader Zhang Shicheng, and the group members are Shan Wenzhen, He Dianyong, Zhao Yajing, Gao Lianfu, Wang Guijuan, Ban Shuxian, Xu Xiuli, and Zhao Ruihua. Liaison group, team leader Shan Wenzhen, team members Xu Xiuli and Ban Shuxian. Financial management group, team leader Zhao Ruihua, team members Xu Xiuli, Zhao Yajing. Culture and sports group, team leader Wang Guijuan, team member Gao Lianfu. Logistics group, team leader He Dianyong, team members Wang Guijuan, Shan Wenzhen.

Work and rest time: wake up at 6:00, morning exercise 6:00-7:00, breakfast 7:00-7:30, activity ride 8:00, bedtime 9:00 (evening time).

In addition, the address book, party schedule, work and rest schedule, and USB flash drive are distributed.

The squad leader said that he would never organize such a large-scale class reunion again, they were all in their old age, and they were unable to move, even if the squad leader organized a large-scale class reunion, I am afraid that there would be no twenty-five people.

Therefore, this 46-year class reunion, which is the first and last, is really unprecedented. In any case, it is still the love of classmates, not afraid of long distances, not sparing money and money, everyone gathers in Sanshui Villa from all directions to see this last side, this may be the eternal side!

This gathering after a half-century and a moment of reunion is very fortunate and happy!
