Chapter 84: Jerusalem

Since Su Hong went to college, Zhao Yuemin still maintains the frequency of three letters a month with her. In his office, there was a large cardboard box full of letters.

Compared to instant messaging technology 20 years later, the feeling of dropping envelopes into the mailbox with great affection and eagerness to reply to the letter is no longer a thing of the past.

Young people in the new century will not understand the meaning of stamps affixed to the front, upside down, and tilted 45 degrees, but people in the seventies and eighties understand that each of them still has at least two kinds of letter stacking, what "missing", "heart-to-heart", "crush on you" and so on. There are many patterns, and some of them are so complicated that even the letter reader can't open them.

Communicating with Su Hong and listening to music channels have become the comfort of Zhao Yuemin's spare time.

However, he also has a faint layer of concern.

Since Su Hong went to college, Zhao Yuemin found that the string holding the kite was often tight.

Kites, want to fly further.

In the letter, Su Hong talked about poetry, literature, Che Guevara, and many unfamiliar things about Zhao Yuemin from time to time. She talked to Zhao Yuemin about the Chinese journal "Daystar" that she edited, and talked about the ballet experience of communicating with students from Eastern Europe, and the desire to communicate with the world.

Yuemin: I think our vision should not be limited to economic interests. In this world, most people are still living in dire straits. When I knew that they were still suffering, I couldn't live alone. ”

In a recent letter, Su Hong expressed a firm desire of hers.

"Rousseau said that all people are created equal, but many creatures in this world are still struggling to survive. I have recently made the decision to join Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) in Hong Kong on a battlefield rescue mission for the wounded. You are my dearest love, please understand. Regards. Love you Su Hong"

The Iran-Iraq War was an eight-year border war that ran through the 80th century. In the early '80s, Iraq launched a military attack on Iran over the disputed river under the pretext of defending itself against the "Islamic Revolution", and soon the tide of the war took a turn for Iran, and after '82, Iran invaded Iraqi territory, triggering a protracted Iran-Iraq war.

After Zhao Yuemin received the letter, he didn't say a word for a long time. As a factory director, as the general manager of a large collective enterprise, he was busy with the livelihood of thousands of people every day, but he didn't think about his own affairs at all. The workers in the factory often praise him for giving up his small family for everyone.

However, compared to Su Hong's desire to save the suffering souls of the world, the little thing she cared about seemed much smaller.

In his reply, Zhao Yuemin expressed his understanding and support, and also mentioned the news that he was about to go to Iraq for a business visit in the near future.

Su Hong has already made a decision. She is also eagerly awaiting a supportive response from her close lover.

Zhao Yuemin had to stand on his girlfriend's side.

"Yuemin, you said that Honghong went to this university, is it a bad brain?" Su Guoliang showed extreme concern. He leaned back on the sofa rather tiredly, his hand shaking Su Hong's letter.

Zhao Yuemin put his hands in his pockets and smiled.

"Hey, it's all because we spoil her too much." Su Guoliang rubbed his temples with both hands, "Since she was a child, she has been allowed to develop freely. ”

"That's good, isn't she also the pride of the sky now?"

"The pride of the sky?" Su Guoliang smiled bitterly, "The pride of the sky went to such a dangerous place in the Middle East? I've called her several times, but she just won't listen. If she really goes to Nightingale, we will be angry with her. ”

Su Guoliang let out a long sigh, slowly got up and beat his waist and said, "Yuemin, as the saying goes, women don't stay." I can't help it. Yuemin, this time you go to Iraq, on the one hand, you must pay attention to your own safety. On the other hand, he also did me a favor and persuaded Honghong for me. ”

"We're all old...... the wrinkles in the corners of Su Guoliang's eyes moved, and his eyes showed a sense of helplessness, "I can't stand the toss anymore......"

Before leaving, Zhao Yuemin received the latest news that Su Hong had moved from Iraq to the Gaza Strip with Médecins Sans Frontières. This had to temporarily disrupt his plans. He had to adjust his plans, apologize to El Fasher, postpone the meeting, and fly directly to Jerusalem first.

After four and a half hours in the air, the plane landed on time at Jerusalem airport.

As soon as he got off the plane, Zhao Yuemin felt a strong exotic atmosphere in the Middle East. The gray adobe walls are a sight to behold, and a large number of Muslim women wearing masks pass by him, and the white round mosque roof, and the solemn prayers that sound from time to time, make this weather-beaten holy city show a more distinctive style.

Of the city, the Jewish parchment scroll of the Talmud says, "If the world is very beautiful, nine parts of it are in Jerusalem." ”

Judaism says that this is the land that God gave them, the capital of the ancient kingdom of Judea, and their religious temple on Mount Zion.

Christianity says that this is the place where Jesus was born, preached, sacrificed, and resurrected, and is an irreplaceable holy place.

Islam says that this is the holy city where Muhammad made a night tour to listen to the blessings and revelations of Allah, and has the most beautiful mosque in the world.

No other city has ever been so invested in faith as Jerusalem. This land of less than one square kilometer is home to the spiritual centers of the three major religions, and is their common "holy city", where Jerusalem is worshipped by 1.8 billion believers from all over the world, and is sacrosanct.

Similarly, disputes over faith are escalating.

A car organized by Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) slowly stopped in front of Zhao Yuemin.

"Hello, I'm Liu Hui, a native of Hong Kong." A girl with a ponytail and a doctor's white coat spoke Cantonese and Mandarin, and greeted Zhao Yuemin: "Su Hong asked us to pick you up." ”

Zhao Yuemin nodded and got into the car.

He looked at the young doctors in the car, nervously preparing the materials. At this time, it is New Year's Day, and people from all over the world should be celebrating the arrival of the New Year.

However, these young doctors gave up their comfortable lives and came to the war-torn Middle East. They calmly checked the information, looked through the patients, and waited for the approval from the Gaza side.

Zhao Yuemin suddenly felt that he seemed to have entered another world and entered another group of people. Here, it is completely different from my home country. These Asian faces are both familiar and unfamiliar......
