One hundred and forty-four study abroad turmoil

Their fruit stall in Yangyang only lasted for more than two months, because Guo Wei, who was rescued, was eventually killed by the disease. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Guo Wei's funeral was held three days after his death, and the mourning hall was set up in the funeral home. But that day, Yang Yang suddenly said to me that he didn't want to go to Guo Wei's funeral, I persuaded him that it was rude not to attend the funeral of his classmates, but he said that it didn't matter if he was polite or impolite, anyway, Guo Wei no longer existed, he didn't know anything, and I explained to him that in fact, participating in someone else's funeral was not only to say goodbye to the deceased, but also to comfort the relatives of the deceased who were in grief, in addition to being a comfort to himself, otherwise he would feel that he was not dedicated to the deceased and left regrets. But Yangyang didn't listen to me, and still sat alone in front of the computer and watched the anime endlessly, as if he didn't take his classmate's funeral seriously at all. However, as a mother, I know my son best, and Yangyang's seemingly unreasonable performance on the surface is because he can't accept the fact that Guo Wei has passed away for a while, he is just avoiding it. He used to be so hopeful, thinking that Guo Wei's illness was just a matter of lack of money, and that as long as he had money to pay for medical expenses, he would get better, but he didn't want the result to be completely beyond the imagination of an eighteen-year-old child like him, who was ignorant of the world, and made him feel that his efforts were so useless and weak, and he became like a defeated soldier, huddled at home and did not show up.

I couldn't persuade Yangyang so I had to ask for help, so I called Wu Xuewen, and after a while, Wu Xuewen came to our house.

"It's not early, let's go, your classmates are waiting for you at the funeral home." Wu Xuewen urged as soon as he saw Yangyang.

"Go ahead, I don't want to go. Yang Yang shook his head and said.

"I understand your feelings, but I don't necessarily understand others, your performance must be understood by others? Guo Wei did so many things for him before his death, and now it is the last time to give him a ride, but you don't show up, what do you think about the classmates? What should you do if you regret it later?"

Hearing Wu Xuewen say so much again, Yang Yang was speechless, and then Wu Xuewen seized the opportunity to make a radical move, saying, "You won't let your classmates come over to invite you, right?" After speaking, Wu Xuewen took out his mobile phone from his pocket and made it look like he was going to make a call.

At this time, Yang Yang finally couldn't sit still, so he quickly got up and grabbed Wu Xuewen's wrist and said, "Okay, I'll go with you." ”

In this way, under the persuasion of Wu Xuewen and me, Yangyang rushed to Guo Wei's funeral site.

But after bidding farewell to Guo Wei, Yangyang still has been in a state of little talk and smile for a long time, which I didn't expect, I didn't expect Guo Wei's departure to have such a big impact on him! To say that he experienced the death of his grandfather as early as five years old, but now that he thinks about it, he was too young and ignorant, and he didn't have much feeling about the departure of his relatives, and now that he has grown up, he not only has more understanding, but also has a certain understanding of life, so the departure of his classmates shocked him very much, through this incident, he deeply realized the fragility and helplessness of life, and also felt his own insignificance and powerlessness as an individual.

In the next few days, I talked a lot with Yangyang, teaching him to learn to face everything calmly, a normal person naturally has an emotional side, naturally has joys, sorrows, but can not be too pessimistic and irrational, in the joys and sorrows, we must always be clear about what we are doing, what we should continue to do, and we should be a warrior of life rather than a deserter.

A month later, Yangyang gradually came out of the sadness of losing his classmates and friends, and behaved a lot more sensible, as if he had grown up a few years at once, and I didn't have to worry about many things in life. For example, he no longer uses me to wash his clothes, and he no longer waits for me to wake up in the morning, but learns to arrange his own life and study, and after entering the second semester of his senior year, his academic performance finally broke into the top 50 in his grade.

But just when I was happy for Yangyang's growth, I suddenly found that things had changed again, and I found that he actually put down his English textbook and started learning Japanese! At first, I thought he just wanted to relax and read Japanese anime books in between studies, but I didn't want him to read Japanese books almost every day, and they read Japanese textbooks.

One night, I finally couldn't help myself and asked him, "Are you reading a Japanese book?"

"Yes. Yang Yang replied briefly.

"Can you read it?" I was curious.

"I'm learning. He said.

"What do you mean? You're learning Japanese?" I didn't understand.

"Yes. ”

"You don't take the Japanese test in the college entrance examination, right?" I asked deliberately.

At this time, Yang Yang closed the book, looked at me with a pleading gaze and said, "Mom, send me to Japan, I want to go there to learn anime." ”

"If you like anime, you can learn it in China, but you don't have to go to Japan to learn it. I said.

"Japanese anime is leading the world, and I would love to go there and learn it. ”

Looking at Yangyang's serious face, I believe that he is by no means casually talking, but thinking that the relationship between Japan and China has become cold again, I can't help but be a little worried, and said to him: "If you go to Japan to study, many people will not understand." ”

"Mom, I'm just doing what I love and I don't need many people to understand me. Yang Yang said.

"We can't completely ignore other people's opinions, after all, we are people living in society, and we can't blindly do things with all their might. I said again.

Do you know how many Chinese students are studying in Japan? Do you know how many Chinese live and work in Japan? That's a huge number! Please don't take war as a personal enmity and always carry it on yourself? Don't express your love for your motherland in a way that hates other countries? Isn't the whole world going all out to promote peace and tolerance? The words of a few people do not represent everyone, I believe that most people are willing to coexist peacefully, I just want to study anime when I go to study in Japan, and it has nothing to do with whether I love the country or not, whether I am pro-Japanese or not!"

Yang Yang said so much, I said that I had nothing to say, to be honest, I didn't object to Yang Yang going to school, I was just worried that others wouldn't understand him, and I was worried that his grandmother wouldn't understand him. Now it seems that Yangyang's determination to go to Japan is decided, and what I have to do is how to persuade my mother-in-law to accept this matter. My mother-in-law is the kind of person who gnashes her teeth at the mention of Japanese, and it is not easy for her to change this attitude. Thinking of this, I said to Yang Yang:

"When your dad comes back, I'll discuss it with your dad, okay?"

"Okay. Seeing that I no longer objected, Yang Yang nodded happily and said.

After Lu Tao went home, I didn't immediately tell him about Yangyang's desire to study in Japan, but waited until we went to bed before hesitating to say to him on the pillow: "Yangyang said that he wants to go to Japan to study animation." ”

"When did he say that?" Lu Tao asked in surprise.

"Just now. I said.

"It's okay, this kid has ambition, I'm not afraid that he will go there, but I'm afraid that he won't dare to go there, he has his own goals, of course it's a good thing, I support him!"

I thought that Lu Tao would not agree, but I didn't expect that he didn't consider his family's history of blood and tears during the Anti-Japanese War, but fully supported his son's choice.

"I thought you were going to object. I said to him.

"Children want to learn things, and we can only support them. Lu Tao said.

"I mean, you actually agreed to let him go to Japan. ”

"What's wrong with going to Japan? Our children are going to learn things, not to engage in politics. ”

"Mom must not agree!" I reminded Lu Tao.

"I've done my mother's job. Lu Tao said.

"But money is also a problem, and it is not possible to study abroad without hundreds of thousands. "I spoke again about a real problem.

"Don't worry about money, I'll figure it out, as long as the child is willing to learn, I will support him to the end." ”

"Okay, it's good to have your support. ”

In fact, I just wanted to hear Lu Tao say this, and with his statement, I was much more relieved, turned around and fell asleep easily.

Several days have passed, and Lu Tao didn't mention Yangyang to study in Japan with his mother, I think he probably hasn't prepared his lines yet, and he hasn't found the right time, but it's not in a hurry, it's dozens of days away from the college entrance examination, and it's not too late to talk to his mother-in-law about it after the college entrance examination. But things are always unexpected, one day the visit of the head teacher of Yangyang, I inadvertently let my mother-in-law know in advance.

Ms. Dong is the new homeroom teacher after Yangyang entered the third year of high school, and she is also one of the few senior teachers in the school. Mr. Dong is a very dedicated teacher and a teacher who is highly regarded in the school. Mr. Dong came to my house for a home visit this time because Yangyang was going to Japan.

When Mr. Dong entered the door, my mother-in-law was watching TV on the sofa in the living room, and as soon as Mr. Dong entered the door, she quickly asked me, who got up to open the door for her: "I heard that your child is going to Japan to learn anime?"

To say that my mother-in-law's ears have long been a little back, but she heard Mr. Dong's words very clearly, maybe the word "Japan" is too sensitive for her, and before I could answer, she asked loudly: "Who is going to Japan?"

"Your grandson!" Mr. Dong replied loudly.

"You mean Yangyang?"

"Yes!"

At this time, I hurriedly played a round first and said to my mother-in-law: "Yangyang just said it casually on a whim, whether to go or not is two different things." ”

"It doesn't seem to be just a casual talk, the whole class knows about it. "Teacher Dong's characteristic is that he is too straightforward, there is no way!

At this time, the mother-in-law finally couldn't help it and said, "Why is this child getting more and more ignorant as he gets older? If he can't go there, he wants to go to Japan? Don't he know that our family and the Japanese are enemies? The Japanese killed three members of our family!"

Yes, my mother-in-law began to talk about the history of blood and tears again, and once again told the heroic deeds of the three martyrs of the previous generation of the Lu family in front of Mr. Dong from beginning to end. I don't want to forget that period of history, but just like Yangyang said, I don't want to mention this matter endlessly, and I don't want to let the hatred pass on from generation to generation. Throughout human history, almost all of them were written in terms of war, and if they were to be pursued, there would be a blood feud between anyone. According to the laws of nature, if you want to survive, you can't avoid fighting, and from the perspective of pursuing peace, if you want peace, you must know how to be tolerant, and those who commit the most heinous war crimes should indeed be condemned by people, but we don't have to settle this account with their descendants endlessly, otherwise the pursuit of peace will become a lie. Of course, these words are all big truths, and the key is to explain them clearly to your mother-in-law.

"Mom, Yang Yang just wants to go to Japan to learn animation, and it's also something we should be happy that he can have a major he likes. I shook my mother-in-law's hand and said, as if I was worried that she would be angry.

"Can't you learn anime in China?" asked the mother-in-law.

Of course, there are many universities in China that offer animation majors, but he wants to study in Japan, and Japan's animation production level is among the leading in the world. ”

And my mother-in-law obviously had no intention of arguing with me, she probably knew this matter and did not need to argue, right and wrong were very clear, so I stood up, waved her hand at me and said:

"Okay, your children are in charge of yourselves, I'm a man who is about to go into the earth, who wants to listen to me?"

After that, the mother-in-law went back to her room.

Teacher Dong and I were the left, looking at each other, not knowing what to say for a while.

After being silent for a while, Mr. Dong said to me: "It's not that I don't agree with Yangyang going to Japan, I just want to tell you that no matter where you go to university, the main thing at this stage is to learn the textbooks well, and Yangyang reads a Japanese book every day, can it not affect your studies?"

"I also found out that this is a problem, and I will talk to him when Yangyang comes back. I said to Teacher Dong.

"Yes, you'd better talk to him again, you're his mother after all, you know him better, and you're more convincing than me. ”

"Okay, I see. ”

Teacher Dong only stayed at my house for half an hour, and after explaining her intention to me, she got up and said goodbye. (To be continued.) )
