Chapter 272: A Black Man's Dream!

Markle. Martin, a black man who traveled to China with his girlfriend, and their first stop in China was naturally the Forbidden City in Beijing.

Madame Martin looked at the Golden Luang Palace: "This kind of architecture is really peculiar. ”

"Of course, this is the palace where the ancient kings of China lived." Markle. Martin knows a lot about Chinese culture, and is called Huaxia Tong, so he explains the Forbidden City for his girlfriend.

"Were there many kings in ancient China? Live in such a huge palace. Mrs. Martin was a little puzzled.

"No, no, no, this palace is inhabited by princesses, princes, servants and eunuchs in addition to the king."

“taijian?” The rest was understandable under Martin's Western-style explanation, but the eunuch couldn't.

"The eunuch is a shemale, a shemale kept by the king's side?" Martin thought about it for a long time before he came up with such an explanation.

"Thai ladyboys?"

"Almost" After thinking about it for a long time, Martin also felt that the eunuch was similar to the Thai ladyboy, and secretly thought in his heart that maybe this eunuch was passed from Thailand, so he was called a eunuch.

"Even, God, the ancient kings of China liked shemales?" Mrs. Martin was astonished.

Well, in short, it is very pitiful to interpret Chinese things in English, and Mr. Jin Yong's novel in his previous life is the most haode example.

The two walked around the Forbidden City for a whole day, and the sky began to darken, and the tourists slowly left the city.

"Honey, what's going on over there?"

"Probably selling some souvenirs, go. Let's take a look. ”

The two of them walked out of the Forbidden City, and as soon as they walked out, they saw a place surrounded by a lot of people. It seems to be selling something. The curious Martin couple wanted to squeeze in to see what was going on, but the two of them thought the problem too simply, and those who had not squeezed the bus in Huaxia couldn't squeeze in at all, so the helpless Martin couple had to wait on the periphery, and after waiting for a long time, the people in front finally dispersed. Only then did I see the real face, and it turned out that it was a newsstand that was surrounded.

"My dear, do Chinese people like to read newspapers very much?"

"That's how it should be, right?" Martin, who is Huaxia Tong, is also not sure.

"This boss. Give me a copy of the newspaper they just bought. "It's common to see foreigners in places like Beijing, so it's not surprising that this newsstand owner is not surprised, but after all, it's an international friend, so the boss's attitude is still quite haode" This foreign friend also likes Su Shichen? ”

"Su Shichen?" Martin was confused about the name.

"Here. This is the newspaper. There is Su Shichen's latest article on it, which is already a copy of zuihou. The boss said as he enthusiastically pointed out the headlines in the newspaper to the Martins.

"It seems that this author named Su Shichen is very popular in Huaxia, and a random article can cause panic buying."

At the beginning, this is a paragraph-

[Words to readers: You may know that I took the college entrance examination this year, and I am still quite troubled by this kind of thing, and the only thing I am interested in is this essay, and the theme of this essay topic is someone else's dream. Because I conceived two of them at once, I personally think that the two themes I have in mind are quite interesting. Among the two, I chose a more interesting one as my college entrance examination essay, and this one will be published in the newspaper to share with you......]

"The popularity of a high school student can be so high, and China is really a country full of miracles."

Martin saw the title - "A Black Man's Dream", and when he saw this title, Martin was stunned for several seconds, and his first reaction was disgust, yes, disgust, because he was dark-skinned, and he hated people who were not dark-skinned, and made a big fuss with black-skinned.

Then Martin's second reaction was to sneer, "Chinese high school students, how do you know what our black dreams are, not to mention yellow-skinned people, even I, a dark-skinned person, don't know what our dreams are now." ”

Thinking of the current status of blacks in the United States, Martin's face is sad, and now the status of blacks in the United States, he is already the most mixed, owning a multinational company, but for the current pattern of blacks in the United States, there is no way at all, and the feeling of powerlessness is very uncomfortable.

Looking at "A Black Man's Dream" written by a Chinese high school student, this kind of article that everyone knows is an empty shell when they hear the name, Martin doesn't want to waste time reading it.

"Darling, what's written on this?" Mrs. Martin asked.

"Nothing, the stuff of a well-known teenage writer."

"Young writer, Darling I want to hear it." Martin's wife can't read Chinese, and this newspaper is naturally a Chinese version, so if you want to read it, you can only let Martin read it.

Under his wife's repeated requests, Martin reluctantly looked at this "A Black Man's Dream".

"A Black Man's Dream" is said to be an essay, but it is better to say that it is a micro-novel, in which a black man's dream in two stages is described through very simple writing.

The main character of the story in the book is called Neo, who lives in the slums, is an ordinary black family, mother, father, grandfather, grandmother, and the family lives a life of not having enough to eat, and not starving to death like most slum families.

This article says that it is a black man's dream, but in fact it is two dreams, one is when Neo is a child, and the other is when Neo grows up.

"My dream is to see the clouds drifting in the sky and listen to the sound of the wind wandering around the city.

My dream is not to worry about not having enough to eat and sleep, my dream is to have a father, mother, grandfather, grandmother and sister, my dream is to have a warm home.

Dream is freedom, dream is that you can face this shijie with a smile. ”

When Martin saw Neo, he couldn't help but think of himself as a child, and softly and involuntarily read this passage from this composition.

Neo's dream is very humble, even for ordinary people, it is a little ridiculous.

Even for an ordinary person, they don't have to worry about not eating well and sleeping at all. You can enjoy a warm home all the time, which is sparse and ordinary for ordinary people, and it can be said that you can't afford the word dream at all.

But it's not a dream. It's Neo's unworthy dream, but it's also Martin's dream when he was a child, no, to be precise, the dream of all black children.

Martin read this article in the newspaper, and when he saw the composition halfway through, he actually cried, and the tears fell unconsciously from the corners of his eyes. Drips on top of the newspaper, which wets a large area.

Yes, their dreams are so cheap. But even such a cheap dream is difficult to achieve.

"Darling, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying? Mrs. Martin took out a tissue and wiped his tears from his eyes.

"It's fine." Martin's heart twitched slightly, a black man's dream, the expectation of all black people.

This "A Black Man's Dream" is not at all what Martin thought it would be, and it is definitely not an article without a shell.

This is a good article. The author did not use blacks as a pretense. It's really about what black people want, and even know better than black people who are doing, what they think.

Martin clutched the newspaper in his hand tightly, as if he was afraid of accidentally falling to the ground.

Continue to look down, the little Neo in the article has grown up, and through hard work, he has also achieved his childhood dream, but now the dream of adult Neo is different.

Martin unconsciously remembered a sentence in his heart: "Dreams progress with growth." It's not set in stone. "It's like when you were a kid and your dream was to have a toy car, and when you grow up, you can't still be that goal.

The dream in Martin's heart when he grew up-

"I dream of one day. This nation will stand up and truly live up to the true meaning of its creed: "We believe that truth is self-evident and that all men are created equal." ”

I dream of a day when the sons of former slaves will be able to sit with the sons of former slave owners on the Red Hills of Georgia and share brotherhood.

I dream that one day, even Mississippi, a desert-like place where justice is hidden, oppression is rampant, will become an oasis of freedom and justice.

I dream of the day when my four children will live in a kingdom where they will be judged not by the color of their skin, but by the quality of their character.

I dream of a day when the valley rises and the mountain falls; The bumpy and tortuous road becomes a smooth road, and the holy light is revealed, shining on the world. ”

……

In the article, Neo said his dream in front of everyone in Washington, even for this dream: Neo and this dream are like a grasshopper shaking a tree, this dream is a big tree, and Neo is a grasshopper, but even so, Neo is still working hard for his dream.

Even though he was ridiculed by countless people when he read the dream in Washington, Neo insisted that the dream would never be extinguished. Even in the face of many hardships, Neo still insisted that dreams would never die.

Martin was shocked and moved by Neo's touch, this persistence, and was moved.

Neo's dream vow was like a morning bell, and the sound of "I have a dream" constantly echoed in his mind.

"I dream that one day my four children will live in a kingdom where they will be judged not by the color of their skin, but by the quality of their character. It's the dream of all black people, and it's really okay to leave everything behind for the sake of this dream. ”

Martin felt very excited, and some didn't believe that such an article was actually written by a Chinese person and a high school student, but the facts were in front of him, but he couldn't help but believe it.

Martin was eager to meet the high school student, but now he had more important things to do.

"A Black Man's Dream illuminates the dreams of all black people, Su Shichen, you will always be in my heart - mentor ......"

If Neo's childhood dream touched Martin, then Neo's dream when he grew up was shocking, and this feeling was like a devout Christian hearing the Gospel of Matthew and hearing God's whispers, which is a kind of guidance.

In the article "A Black Man's Dream", Zuihou's ending is unfinished, in the article Neo is still giving speeches everywhere, without success or failure, Martin secretly decides that the rest will be handed over to him.

"Everyone has the potential to be Neo, but it takes the first Neo to step up and make me the Neo I am." Martin was determined that he wanted to be like Neo and get more people involved in the black civil rights struggle through his speeches, and he wanted to take the lead in awakening more Neo.

"Darling, I want to ......," Martin said suddenly.

"Darling, I'll support you no matter what." Martin's wife interrupted Martin's words and held Martin's hand tightly, she couldn't see "A Black Man's Dream" written in Chinese, but she could understand her husband.

Martin, who is known as the leader of the civil rights movement in the United States, officially began the civil rights movement today, and Martin returned to the United States with faith.

is also an article that was used by Su Shichen to pave the way, but he was called "the eternal good 'father' of black people"...... (To be continued......)
