CHAPTER XXXIV

Li Zheng finally understood the purpose of Qi Tianxiang's coming, nodded and didn't speak, simply put the things on the desk, and walked out of the office with Qi Tianxiang. [Ran^Text^Library] []

Walking slowly on the wooded streets of the plain, Qi Tianxiang had a feeling as if he had returned to a small city, and suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and couldn't help but sigh and said to Li Zheng who was walking beside him: "Actually, I think the plain is very good, a quiet and elegant small county town, with a good economic foundation and a profound cultural heritage, isn't such a city very good, why deliberately change it?" Is it the needs of the people, or the government's impulse to develop? ”

"That's right! Isn't it good to have a fresh and quiet small county town, a small population, a small scale, quiet and serene, and a convenient and natural life? They all have to be as luxurious and prosperous as big cities, and the traffic is busy, as if that reflects the taste and grade of the city, but in fact, they are all blindly greedy for foreign psychology, and they dare not say that they have ulterior motives, at least it is a manifestation of amblyopia. Li Zheng thought about it and said: "In fact, the development of the city in the final analysis still starts from the positioning of the city, in the past, the feudal society to the population to define the size of the city, the state, the province, the government, the county have a strict hierarchy, and even the city wall range and size have specific regulations, in the final analysis, it is still taking into account the population's ability to support the city and regenerate the ability, there is a certain scientific basis, and now it seems that whose building is high, whose building is more reflects the economic strength of whose family, the development momentum is good, which is the manifestation of the rise of false fire." Speaking and sighing: "In fact, I still like some small villages, small county town quiet and comfortable, the key is convenience and convenience, the county is not big, the planning is orderly, the street shop is simple and elegant, the distribution of functional areas is clear, walk on the boulevard, leisurely and elegant, sit on the street and drink a bowl of tea, chat with the elderly people, listen to the local slang, taste a different cultural charm and customs, nourish the heart, isn't it beautiful, like crowded in the crowd of people rubbing shoulders in the city, It's better than a cold look at each other in the city. ”

"It's kind of interesting, it looks like it's a little bit like seeing through the red dust and floating out of the world!" Qi Tianxiang turned his face and looked at Li Zheng with interest, as if he wanted to read something from the expression on his face.

"Don't be sarcastic about me, it's rare that your heart doesn't have a trace of depression suppressed by the hustle and bustle of the city, don't you also like and enjoy the tall trees on both sides of this short road, and the green shade that shades the sky and the sun, as well as this faint, pleasant walk and leisurely browsing?" Li Zheng sarcastically sarcastically mocked Qi Tianxiang, "Living in a big city, but in my heart I hope for the tranquility and serenity of the small city, which seems to be the contradiction in everyone's heart, inseparable from the prosperity of the city and the convenient way of life, but dreaming of a peaceful small city, or why the luxurious high-end community deliberately wants to create a quiet and peaceful." Shaking his head regretfully as he spoke, "Sometimes I really want to escape from all this noise, relax and take a trip that is just a matter of walking." ”

"Do you think the same way?" Qi Tianxiang couldn't help but stop and stared at Li Zheng firmly, "Many times when I wake up in a dream, I will also have such an impulse, especially when I am tired or irritable, often I don't have to think involuntarily, I go out to see the scenery alone, thinking like this again and again, sometimes even obsessed." Qi Tianxiang said and walked slowly again, saying as he walked, "On a warm spring afternoon, or a crisp autumn evening, I stood lazily in front of a bus stop, aimlessly took a bus that could go anywhere, sat comfortably at the window, through the bright glass window, and quietly browsed the scenery along the way." You can watch it or not, you can think about it at will, or you can think about nothing at all, just watch it or not look at it. When walking through the bustling city, you can quietly watch the traffic coming, look at the unique shapes and gorgeous decorations of high-rise buildings, see the dazzling signboards and shops, see the busy or leisurely pedestrians on the streets, read the joy or helplessness on their faces, judge their identity and knowledge from their clothing and demeanor, and guess the mood from their steps. When walking in the alleys and alleys, you can look at the dilapidated streets and alleys, the antiquity and architectural characteristics of the houses, the simplicity of the small shops, the daily life of the passers-by in the streets and alleys, the difficulties and persistence of life, the hardships of the years from the people's faces, the past of the city from here, the decay of today and the glory of the past, and the vicissitudes of the old trees with new flowers. The time on the car passes quietly, only the driver can be grasped, so there is no need to look forward to it, fast and slow, fast and slow have nothing to do with the itinerary, of course, it has nothing to do with the scenery outside the window, get off or not depends on the mood at the time, the hurried is just a passerby, just a visitor who browses the scenery, the quality of the scenery can not keep the rotation of the wheel, it doesn't matter whether it is happy or sentimental. Because it's just a simple look, because there is no emotional dedication and investment, what you see and think can be remembered, or completely forgotten, and even the car you have ridden and the station you have been to can be forgotten, the reason is just a bit of a process. The next trip can be repeated, or not, because it doesn't matter, the repetition is just the process, the scenery you see and the people or things that dot the scenery are not the same, and there is no need to worry about the monotony of repetition, let alone complain about the long and boring trip, because you can go or not, there is no pressure and no burden, just walk slowly, look quietly. ”

"In fact, sometimes all you need is a state of mind, giving yourself a space and a way to think." Li Zheng echoed and said slowly: "Sometimes when I go home, I rarely encounter my daughter when she has no homework or make-up classes, so I like to take my daughter out to play crazy." I don't prepare, I don't even bring my phone, I just play indulgently. I took my daughter to row a boat, and after paddling a few times, I basically watched my daughter row casually. In the quiet, slightly swaying boat on the surface of the lake, and in the delicate breeze that blows on my cheeks from time to time, my heart also tends to be calm. The sun is no longer hot, perhaps because of the wide surface of the lake, the sun also feels weak, but it is still dazzling in the reflection of the lake. Or, deliberately leaving the road, climbing between the roadless ravines, looking for the way among the grass, and returning to the old days in a trance with the excited laughter of the daughter, there is joy and wonder in every pile of rubble and every hole in the broken kiln of the barren old city, birds' nests, scorpions, tiles, every unexpected discovery can make you still talk about it a few days later. Of course, these daughters can't see it, the old city of Shaanzhou has become a scenic spot, a place for people's leisure and entertainment, is over-regularizing, is moving towards prosperity, and the ruins of the barren old city are slowly disappearing. In the scenic area, in addition to the many trees that are countless, can not be called, can not be recognized, is the meandering mother river, is the dam, is the artificial lake, is the house and vendors that have gradually increased, the only wild interest is the ginkgo tree that can not be seen at a glance between the ravines, but these trees with high commercial value are private property, you can imagine whether the wall will be towering here in a few years, then what will be in the scenic area, and I don't know where to think about the ancient romance in the future. My daughter doesn't care about these, it was rare to have such a wild in the past, and the nature of children was suddenly exposed, and at my instigation, they tried more excitement and adventure, changing different ways and tricks, until the sun sank in the west and was not bored, but only under my constant urging to reluctant to return. When he walked into the house with his daughter in disgrace, the daughter-in-law's exclamations and complaints were certain, but the happiness in her heart was also certain. It's not so much to make my daughter happy, but actually it's my own inner indulgence. ”

"How old is your daughter?" Qi Tianxiang asked with interest: "It's a blessing to have a woman!" ”

"I'm ten years old this year, and I'm going to be in the fourth grade next year, which is the age of uneasy care, one idea at a time, one change at a time", Li Zheng seemed to complain dissatisfiedly, but there was a sweet and happy smile in his eyes, "When I went back a few days ago, my daughter solemnly announced: I am going to practice table tennis." At first glance, I was both happy and worried. The good news is that after all, my daughter doesn't have to be like pedantic literati like me, who get up five watches, climb in the middle of the night, light lamps and boil oil, and 'dig out materials' with wide eyes every day, nervously thinking about 'finding inspiration', intending to 'swear endlessly' and become China's 'Tolstoy, Balzac' or 'Cao Xueqin's second'; Throwing away the limited happy time of childhood between the classroom and the studio or the piano room, and growing up into China's 'Leonardo da Vinci, Van Gogh, Mozart, Beethoven' or 'Xiao Xu Beihong, Qi Baishi, Sheng Zhonghua, Ma Sicong' according to their parents' wishes, my daughter should follow her own wishes, follow the example of 'Qiu Zhonghui, Deng Yaping' and other heroines who do not let her eyebrows, promote the country's prestige, revitalize the country's ball, and gallop on the international stage to win glory for the country. After the joy, I can't help but worry. After all, what my daughter is engaged in is competitive sports, not national fitness, hard training, large amount of exercise, and there is no draw, often judged by wins and losses, there are no 'good', 'almost' and other vague standards, only 'best', 'better', only constantly surpassed, constantly surpassed, the cruelty of competition is very unbearable. And table tennis is the 'national sport', the level is high, the number of people who practice it, and the wide range of people who strive for it, its momentum is like climbing Everest, how many people can really reach the top? But looking at the young daughter's immature face and solemn expression, I couldn't bear to sweep her sex, so I was only busy preparing. Not to mention, the training for a period of time is really effective, participated in the provincial primary school table tennis match, after a few days of worry, finally under the leadership of the team teacher triumphant. At first sight, my mood was a little low, but after I received the wind and washed the dust, I asked about the results, and the answer was, "As soon as I went up, I clicked and made people call back", and his eyebrows danced as if he was talking about someone else's business. has no heart and no lungs, and the mentality is okay. Another effect is to watch the table tennis game on TV, and start chattering about analysis and evaluation, what is the upper arc circle, the lower arc circle, the straight board near the high master fast attack, and it is the choice of cartoons and table tennis at the same time, without hesitation to abandon the front and choose the last. Another change is that there are gradually more names such as 'butterfly', 'galaxy' and professional terms such as 'carbon plate' and 'rubber', so that people like me who practiced when I was a child 'arranging bricks in the middle of a stone platform' and 'buying a racket for a piece of money', have ever heard of 'five-layer, seven-layer carbon ball', 'fast-attacking, defensive, all-offensive and full-defense rubber'? But it's not these appearances that are annoying, watching my daughter tired of staying up to cope with her homework after daily training, and I am really distressed, and I am thinking about my daughter's future, which is really helpless. ”

"Don't worry, let it go, my heart will slowly fade after middle school." Qi Tianxiang said in a somewhat familiar tone: "My son, who is similar to your daughter, has practiced basketball and long-distance running, but he has put down all his homework as soon as he is busy, and it is still okay for the child to exercise properly, not to mention for the grades, for fame and family, practice some of these competitive sports, the mentality will be calmer, and more importantly, exercise makes the child's body better and tougher, in what I said to your sister-in-law, it is to pay the training fee for the money for medical treatment and medicine, hehe." ”

"You've got a lot of ideas." Li Zheng glanced at Qi Tianxiang and said admiringly: "But with the child, look at the child's smiling expression, listen to the child's boundless cute words, the tiredness and irritability are gone", Li Zheng continued: "My daughter looked at the photos of me and my wife when they got married, and asked her: Where were you when your parents got married?" The daughter blurted out: Go to the nursery. You let me go to the nursery as soon as you have something, it's annoying! There was also a daughter who took a picture of me, took two steps back, compared it seriously for a long time, and said with emotion: Dad, you are too tall to take a complete picture. Flying a kite, the daughter looked at the kite high in the sky and suggested: Dad, let the kite play by itself for a while, and we will call it again when we go home. On the phone with my daughter, the other end suddenly said: Dad, you talk first, I'll go to the bathroom. This is the language of my daughter before and after she is in the nursery. Nowadays, the schoolbag is sunk and there is less naivety and recklessness. ”

"Yes! It's time to learn from the children, cry spontaneously, laugh happily, live a real and natural life, and it's time to relax your body and mind. Qi Tianxiang said approvingly: "After so many years of economic development, we have always seemed to be running fast, catching up with the world, catching up with others, and always seem to be unable to stop. Shouldn't you supplement some nutrients and recover your physical fitness, let alone run in an all-round way, even if you are a strong professional athlete, it's not a thing to run like this, but you just can't stop, or you can't stop being coerced, which can be explained as fanaticism. The government is running, successful people are running, students are running, and even ordinary people, old men and old ladies are running. Has the government thought about it? Have we ever thought about it? Slow down, or stop, think about the purpose of running, think about the meaning of running, even if you summarize the gains and losses of running, and the goal of running, and then run again, can it be faster and easier? Qi Tianxiang looked at Li Zheng and nodded, and continued: "Farming civilization has shortcomings, such as restricting people's wisdom and hindering the development of society, but the leisure and leisureliness formed under the conditions of self-sufficiency production and living of farming civilization are not available in modern life." Leisurely as a form of life, whether it is Tao Yuanming's leisurely self-satisfaction of 'picking chrysanthemums under the east fence and leisurely seeing Nanshan', or Wang Wei's fairyland of the world of 'shining on the bright moon and pines, and the upper stream of clear spring stones', or Li Bai's 'a pot of wine among the flowers, drinking into three people', all show the struggle under the pressure of life, as well as the yearning for the spiritual home and leisurely state. Throughout the ages, literati and writers throughout the ages, whether they seek their work with literature, or with their literary pleasure and aspirations, have consciously or unintentionally been unable to avoid the standards and goals of sexuality, affection, ambition, will, strength, and cultivation, and under the grand goals and requirements of traditional Confucianism -- self-cultivation, family harmony, governing the country, and leveling the world, the spiritual struggle of entering the WTO and the elegance and dignity of being a person have tormented the conscience of enterprising and self-cultivation. On this basis, the leisurely mood and state of mind have become the standard for the living state of the scholars, and have also become the reference for measuring the advantages and disadvantages between the rise and fall of the social form and the harmony and beauty, and thus sublimated several leisurely artistic conceptions and observations. First of all, laid-back is a realm. Whether it is the materialistic historical materialism that determines the spirit, or the spiritual dominance of the idealistic historical view, it is impossible to deny the material existence significance necessary for survival, that is, it is clear that the fisherman and the Shizi are fishing in the river, the purpose is the same but the requirements are very different, that is, Tao Weng's chrysanthemum is different from the flower farmer's chrysanthemum, and the difference between the pleasure and the necessity of survival is obvious. Li Bai's drinking and Mr. Kong Yiji's drinking are also fundamentally different, the former is to borrow wine to express lyricism, while the latter is the need of the body, so Li Bai can be drunk and 'the Son of Heaven does not come to the court', while Kong Yiji can only struggle between 'stealing' and 'stealing'. The literati who are also knowledgeable and reasonable, the performance of the state of existence and the reality are different, and there is also the expression between the world, which reflects a realm, a realm without external worldly affairs, and a psychological expression promoted by the social environment in which the literati live. Secondly, laid-back is a kind of calmness. Whether it is Li Bai's "Will Enter the Wine", Su Shi's "Red Cliff Nostalgia", or Mr. Lu Xun's "From Baicao Garden to Sanwei Study", Mr. Shen Congwen's "Border City", and even Mr. Zhu Zhiqing's "Moonlight on the Lotus Pond", Mr. Qian Zhongshu's "Siege of the City", no matter what everyone's mood is, for the intention of the text, their state is the same, they all have a trace of calmness, no worries about food and clothing, and they all have the peace and enjoyment of leisure. They either have a small net worth or a lot of salary, while Du Fu, Yu Dafu, and Lao She of the same era do not have such a state, of course, they are also in later generations, but they are less quiet and more impetuous. Therefore, the world is quiet, the things are quiet, there is less worldly interference, and there is more calmness. In addition, laid-back is a must. Reading "Midnight" and reading "Poplar Praise", although you can get close to the style of Mr. Contradiction, "Teahouse" and "Dragon Whisker Gou" are both from Lao She's pen, the feeling of reading is different, the social form of the masters is no less than the general public, although the form of expression is different, but the same is the eagerness of the mood to make leisure become a mirror of social warmth and coldness. Therefore, the changes in social forms, so that the appearance, are reflected in the form of humanities, the industrial workers used to get together, play cards, and chat about leisure after work, and the pursuit of spirit and morality in literary and artistic works, which embodies the social psychological concept of happiness, and also makes the meaning of leisure and survival have a consistent height. In the end, laid-back is a sublimation. Whether it is "Analects", or "Historical Records", whether it is "Dream of Red Mansions", or "Golden Vase Plum", all arise from the humanistic demands and ideological expressions, and to meet the needs of society, although the changes in social needs directly affect the performance, but the supply needs an environment, but also the time and mood of refining the phenomenon, leisurely will also show the influence beyond reality, and it will also have the role of purification and enrichment and hand money, which is the origin of the development and progress of art and culture. Leisure is only a state and a manifestation in reality, but the number, state, and performance of the leisure group are a mirror of the social form and the basic verification of social happiness, although it is not easy at times, but it is a reality. ”

"Your realm is too high, this is simply the meaning of a thesis." Li Zheng looked at Qi Tianxiang with admiration and praised it sincerely. I know that Qi Tianxiang is very knowledgeable, his thinking is very quick, and he has the name of a talented man in the academy, but he thinks about it is just a professional achievement, but he didn't expect to be so literary and thoughtful in the field of humanities, and he thinks so deeply and thoroughly, he can't help but have some intimacy in his heart, "When it comes to the meaning of leisure, we must also talk about the meaning of waiting, whether it is social fashion or public opinion orientation, modern society is emphasizing the meaning and importance of competition, it seems that life is a competition, it is a fight, and defeating others is defeating yourself, It's the eternal king, is it that simple? This trend of thought is simply ignorance, and serious is ignorance and deception. Can the seeds planted in spring be as fruitful as autumn without being moistened by the spring rain and roasted in summer? Therefore, growth must wait, must accumulate enough strength, just like you said running, to continue to have physical strength and nutritional support, these are not, read a few inspirational books, look at the biography of successful people, you can compete, win, become the king, this success is not too simple. Li Zheng met Qi Tianxiang's strange gaze and said frankly: "This is the story of my own experience, and it is also what I suddenly realized. ”

"Oh, let's hear it." Qi Tianxiang encouraged Li Zheng with great interest, he knew that this kid liked to ponder, and he also had a certain amount of accumulation and thinking.

"Just graduated the year, I was assigned to the newspaper's communication department, said that the good is the communication, in fact, it is to send and receive letters from the masses, manuscripts, and then classify and send to the relevant editors or news departments, at that time the enthusiasm of the masses is now incomparable, the reading rate of the newspaper is very high, and the enthusiasm for reading the newspaper is very high, every typo or punctuation mark on the newspaper, the fallacy of the application of time, place names, and personal names, there will soon be a letter from readers to feedback back, the daily workload is quite large, and it is hard work, Seeing the spirit of the students who came to work as reporters and editors at the same time, I felt awkward, listless every day, and full of complaints. It wasn't until I once went to visit a reader alone that I suddenly understood the meaning of waiting. Li Zheng seemed to be immersed in memories, with a slight happy smile on his face, "Everything went smoothly when I went, but when I came back, there was a little situation, maybe I was too anxious, I insisted on stepping on the long-distance bus to leave in the afternoon, and came to this small county town in the mountains, although I knew that it was still far from Qinghe, although I knew that such a decision did not make any sense, because there were still a lot of cars to take tomorrow, and there was no difference between getting here and staying there overnight, but anxious and stubborn, In addition, the enthusiasm of the return visit made me feel pressured, but it still made me choose to move forward without hesitation, and chose to wait in the future. There is always an impulse to rebel in the heart of the young, as if by hard work, miracles will surely be created, and miracles are not far away waiting for those who are prepared. At that time, I thought that if I arrived at the county seat, I suddenly had a car to Qinghe, wouldn't I be able to go back early? The miracle did not happen, the Yellow River is still a barrier between the county seat and the Qing River, and it is still tomorrow's car that crosses the barrier, and it is the only car that crosses the barrier. In order to make tomorrow's journey smooth and convenient, I deliberately chose the hotel inside the coach station. This is a very regional hotel, in front of a three-story building, is the place to sell tickets, waiting for the train, that is, the so-called long-distance station faΓ§ade, behind is a large yard, is the place to park, departure, this should be any long-distance station is similar pattern. The courtyard is not surrounded by walls or low bungalows, but by a hole in the enclosed area. The flat cave can be said to be a characteristic of the northern Shaanxi Plateau, and it is also a beautiful scenery. But I didn't expect to do the same here. I have an impression of the caves in northern Shaanxi, and I also feel kind, because I went to northern Shaanxi when I was in college. The thick loess plateau in northern Shaanxi has been washed by rain for many years, forming a unique topography and landform, ravines and ridges are all over the plateau, and the caves that live in the mountains have become the way of survival of the wisdom of the people of northern Shaanxi who are born by the mountains, and the places where the ditches and beams are located have large or small, deep or shallow caves, and there are traces of cooking smoke and life. Over time, the cave that is warm in winter and cool in summer has not only become a shelter for people in northern Shaanxi, but also a favorite of life. The rows of neat and uniform caves not only have a slight meaning, but also become a unique symbol of northern Shaanxi. Gradually, people left the ravines and mountain beams, but they couldn't leave the caves and the feeling of the thick smoke and fire. So, the wise people of northern Shaanxi moved the cave to the plain and moved to the flat land. Caves surrounded by rows of mounds were born in the plains and in the cities. I once asked the local people curiously, in the flat ground hoop the outline of the cave, and then pull the loess to bury, the built cave still has no ventilation channel, compared to the flat land to build a house, not to mention the labor-intensive and time-consuming, not to mention, not to mention, not to say, not economical, these why? There are a lot of questions, and the questions are very specific, but in the face of me, a childish doll, most of them are smiling and silent, and even if they answer 'customs' and 'habits', there are very few answers like 'watching traditions', and these are also what I was told by realistic thinking after many years. We have lost a lot, we have lost a lot, technology and progress have also left us behind, the industrial revolution has made many traditions simple, but also made perseverance and watchfulness difficult, become precious, and many of us are indescribable, at least simple language is difficult to explain, only many years later, we may be able to find out what progress has made us lose.

In a small remote county where road traffic is the main way, the long-distance station should also be a very well-known and important place, so the yard is built very large, there are many caves connected on three sides, in addition to the office and the driver's rest, the rest has become a hotel for receiving accommodation, and the price is incredible. In fact, it is not surprising that in remote counties, with a small population, and even more scarce floating people, hotels are relatively redundant. In a county town that does not have much floating population, in a place where there are not many characteristics or specialties, how many outsiders are there, and how many people need accommodation? Not to mention that it is a state-run bus station hotel, and it is not a department that mainly operates hotels, so it is not surprising that it is cheap. This is the scene of a small county town in Chinese mainland ten years ago, but now it is very different.

After dinner, I was ready to rest, and the monotonous life of the county town gave a rare quiet at night, which can also be said to be silence, or silence, no one was still busy with anything or why in this dark night. The big cave is more than ten meters deep and more than four meters wide, and there are two beds side by side, and the other is a washstand for the basin, and there is nothing else. The simple furnishings, the simple arrangement, indicate that this is just a place to sleep and rest. I was the only one in the large, empty cave, and I felt a little lonely and lonely. Not only in the cave, but also in a large courtyard, but I was also the only one, and it was dark and silent. The waiter who was there before, and the cave where she was, the lights had been extinguished, so she must have gone home. Although she had told me that she would have to go home at night and take care of the young children, she still felt cold and even a little desolate when she saw the dark cave with the lights out. In the second half of the night, it rained lightly, first dripping down, and then with the increase of water in the low-lying part of the yard, the sound of rain mixed with the crackling sound of smashing, like falling leaves, and like someone tiptoeing around, sometimes drifting, sometimes drifting away, sometimes it was a long silence. Listening to all kinds of small voices that appeared from time to time, I woke up and fell asleep in a daze, and after a night of anxiety, I finally waited for the dawn and the possible dawn. When the morning came, the waiter came, but what I was waiting for was uncertain news - because it was raining, the car might or may not come, depending on the rain over there. Just as the rain fell on the heart, the news made the heart roll up and down, and the worry of not being able to walk aggravated the anxiety in the heart, and the loneliness and boredom made the worry grow like weeds like crazy. When I returned to the cave, I became anxious and restless, because the waiter still had instructions to come out often to see, because the late shuttle, the time was not easy to control, and I might come in and just stop and leave, and I would not wait for anyone. Look back and forth, go back and forth, not only to see the sky, whether there is a possibility of stopping the rain, but also to see the yard, whether there is a car from the front station to come in, in the drizzle of the eyes are constantly patrolling, for fear of missing something, for fear of missing the opportunity. The train departs from the front station at half past six, and according to the normal time, it can be reached in two and a half hours. Keep counting the time, keep looking at the yard. Nine o'clock arrived, but the car did not come. It was past half past nine, and there was still no trace of the car. Ten o'clock arrived quickly, and there was still no car. Cars came and went in the yard, and after a while, a car arrived, and soon it was full of passengers, and it quickly left. After a while, another car came, and it was still the same procedure, getting on the person, checking the ticket, counting the number of people, departing, and leaving. The courtyard is also like a big stage, sometimes cars come and go, crowded, sometimes quiet and abnormal, only a little bit of rain on the open land, sometimes splashing on the hard ground, sometimes rippling in the mud puddle of stagnant water, sometimes rolling wheels ruthlessly running over, bursting into a large area of mud soup. Waiting, hoping again and again, disappointed again and again, countless vehicles arrived, pulling away countless people, only I was still going in and out of the cave over and over again, asking the waiter over and over again, looking forward to the lucky happening again and again.

When the low, old passenger car staggered away, the mud-splattered car seemed so intimate, and the low and dull engine roar was no longer cursed, but became so beautiful, like the colorful harmonies of a large symphony, so beautiful, so reverie. Sitting in the rickety bus, thinking about the anxiety just now, I suddenly realized that waiting is actually the master of life, in fact, waiting is also a part of the journey, and it is a particularly important part. When all the preparations are complete, all that is needed is to wait, to be born, to grow, to mature, to grow, to love, to be an opportunity, to fly, and to wait for everything that needs to be waited. Even if it's just a trip, even if it's just a date, you need to wait. Either you are waiting for someone else, or someone else is waiting for you. The so-called success is just waiting for the right opportunity at the right time, and it is precisely at that moment that you are ready, and at that moment you are waiting. Li Zheng looked at Qi Tianxiang firmly, and said in the same firm voice: "After waiting at that moment, I realized this. ”

Qi Tianxiang didn't know what to say, or even whether to praise or encourage, there was no need to think about it, after all, this was his own experience, and it was also his unique life wealth, and others were not qualified to evaluate it, so he just patted Li Zheng lightly on the shoulder to express his appreciation.

Talking and walking, a few miles away, ten minutes of time, unconsciously arrived, Qi Tianxiang and Li Zheng stopped, and slowly watched the Shuguang Machinery Factory in front of them.

The grand factory gate is still standing tall, and the tall torch statue on a pillar on one side still reveals the fashion and atmosphere of many years ago. In addition to the large gate, the former walls have been built into one after another faΓ§ade rooms, and the faΓ§ade arrangement of various colors is like a patch around the factory.

said that it was the factory gate and the wall, but in fact, it was just a decoration, and no one was on duty at all, Qi Tianxiang and Li Zheng walked in smoothly.

This is a traditional form of enterprise, but also left which era of practical-based planning mode, facing the factory gate is a four-storey office building, looks very heavy, very solid look, obviously there are traces of Soviet-style architecture, brick concrete structure, red brick to the top, small wooden window frames paint mottled, many windows are missing glass, looking old from a distance looks lonely. A wide road in front of the office building extends to both sides, stringing up large factories.

"This factory was built at the end of the sixties of the last century, as an industrial project to undertake the transfer of Soviet aid, due to the beginning of the Soviet Union in the sixties, the whole enterprise moved here from the northeast, which can also be seen from the important position of this enterprise. The leading products of the enterprise are steam turbines, important components used in ships and large loading equipment, as well as automobile engines, which have high R&D and production capacity, and are the earliest supporting military production, to put it bluntly, the engines used in warships and tanks, there is only this enterprise in the eastern region, and there is little contact with the locality, their material supply and production, life are solved by themselves, the state allocates or purchases them outside, and there are more than 10,000 cadres and workers in the prosperous period, and there are more family members. The enterprise itself has a complete range of functions, such as hospitals, schools, sports facilities, food processing, and garment production, and it can be said that it has formed a large urban center by itself, which not only does not increase the burden on the local government, but also uses hospitals and processing plants to provide assistance to Pingyuan County. Not to mention anything else, every year the county-wide games in Pingyuan are held in the gymnasium of the enterprise, and the enterprises with employment difficulties in Pingyuan at that time also tried their best to solve them, and arranged many unemployed young people to enter the enterprise. Li Zheng took Qi Tianxiang to walk and introduce the situation of the machinery factory, and seemed to be very familiar with this place, "Later, the military industry was restructured, and the enterprise was converted to civilian production, and life was not so easy, but it was not easy after all, the enterprise was huge, and it was better to deal with life than many enterprises, but the disaster did not come from the operation of the enterprise, but from the adjustment of the national industrial policy and the change of economic development ideas." Shuguang Factory was originally a military enterprise, belonging to the State Ordnance Industry Bureau, and later assigned to the Provincial Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, and then adjusted to the Department of Heavy Industry. After some tossing, the company not only has no mother's family, but also no relatives. At the same time of stripping the socialization function of the enterprise, the subsidiary enterprises that are not related to the main business run by the enterprise have also been stripped away, and the responsibilities and powers are managed by the Qinghe Light Industry Bureau and the Industrial Bureau respectively, which makes the enterprise suffer a big injury. However, the decline of the enterprise is a joint venture, two cooperation, and three private enterprises, which have completely collapsed the enterprise step by step. Li Zheng stopped as he spoke, looked at Qi Tianxiang and smiled, "We have to have a goal, but we can't go like this!" Haven't you ever heard of a train running inside a business? The machine shop is too big, and it may not be possible to turn around after walking for a day. ”

"We don't have to turn around so much, just look at the typical three-step walk you said." Qi Tianxiang was also thinking about what Li Zheng said, he couldn't see much, in addition to time, he also had physical strength, so he said to Li Zheng: "You go on, let's talk about it wherever we go." ”

"Wasn't Sino-foreign joint ventures popular in the early years? Qinghe SASAC requires enterprises to engage in Sino-foreign joint ventures, and the company is not very reluctant, because the heavy engine part of the enterprise has a strong technical force and R & D and production capacity in China, but the strong dragon can not overwhelm the head snake, not to mention that the status of the enterprise is not what it used to be. When the enterprise specifications reached the vice ministerial level, the enterprise leaders were directly from Beijing to receive instructions and receive tasks, after the military color faded, in the process of civilian production, the enterprise specifications are also declining, and finally it is only a unit equivalent to the department level, so naturally it cannot compete too much with the competent department of Qinghe. Under the pressure of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, especially the direct operation of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, the company was forced to carry out Sino-foreign joint ventures, and it was the engine resources at the core of the machinery factory that were gathered. This was not just the fate of the machine factory, but the general trend of that era. It seems that the predicament of state-owned enterprises will be healed as soon as joint ventures and cooperation are alleviated, and this kind of economic dependence has spread, causing many state-owned enterprises to embezzle a large number of high-quality assets and resources. After a few years of joint ventures, I suddenly found that the high-quality assets are gone, the brand created for many years is gone, and even the necessary profits are gone, and the rest is a large number of non-performing assets and layoffs, which suddenly understands that the capitalists are not philanthropists, and the foreign capital and technology attracted are not aid, but plunder, this political infantile disease and economic dependence have made many heavy industries in trouble, and many domestic equipment that can be produced must be purchased and imported from abroad, which directly cuts off the key production and sales lifeline of heavy industry enterprises. More light industry enterprises related to people's livelihood have changed owners, and national brands have been embezzled and transformed by international brands, not only losing the market, but also losing their traces. At the same time, the decision-making power and pricing power of domestic commodities were lost, and the big international brands joined forces to manipulate the market and manipulate pricing, revealing the nature of wolves and man-eating fangs. It is not difficult to see in the market and supermarkets, from cooking oil, to toothpaste to toiletries, there are several domestic brands. At the same time as the state-owned withdraws, the role of the state in guaranteeing the market position also disappears. Li Zheng sighed with emotion and continued: "The foreign party of the joint venture is a well-known heavy industry enterprise in Japan, and the technology and R&D capabilities do have the advantages that Shuguang Machinery Factory does not have, but after the joint venture, I did not see too many technical personnel, nor did I see any key technical equipment, but the equipment and production line of Shuguang Factory were slightly transformed, and the heavy machinery engine became a car engine, which was matched with a car manufacturer in Qindao, and the direct profit became an indirect invisible profit. The Qinghe State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission did not get any benefits, and the tax revenue did not improve, the core production capacity and excellent equipment of the Shuguang factory were lost by the joint venture, and the enterprise was no longer the enterprise it used to be, and the workers were still the skilled workers of the past, but their identity and status had changed. ”

Saying that Qi Tianxiang and Li Zheng have walked to the door of the joint venture factory, only to see a large piece of the factory area and the plant are surrounded by walls, the marble factory door on both sides is a stainless steel telescopic door, the tall and clean marble is engraved with the name of the size of the staggered "Sino-foreign joint venture Rishu Machinery Company", the tall factory gate has built a gatehouse, and the vehicles and personnel entering and exiting are verified and inspected by the guards.

"Looks like we can't get in." Li Zheng joked: "This is a Sino-foreign joint venture, adopting the method of Japanese enterprise management, the management in addition to the Chinese board of supervisors, the middle and high-level are all Japanese personnel, the Chinese side only has a small number of personnel, the production management department is basically Chinese personnel, there have been many contradictions in the management and production process, and even the Japanese management personnel have beaten and scolded and corporal punishment of workers, as for the deduction of wages, or dismissal is not unusual, the Chinese side also protested but it is useless, as if they are the savior, It was they who saved the Dawning Factory, and they did not accept the inspection and supervision of Qinghe and Pingyuan, as if they were the ** kingdom. A few years ago, there was an incident in which a female worker committed suicide because of the beating and humiliation of the Japanese management personnel, which caused a sensation in the old factory and the new factory, and once made a disturbance to the point of a strike. Li Zheng watched Qi Tianxiang's face begin to become gloomy, and his clenched teeth made the ribs on his chin stand out, as if he was about to explode at any time, and hurriedly pulled him and said, "Don't be angry here, let's go." ”
