The meaning of time is neither the past, nor the present, nor the future, but what actually happened in time. If there is no content and existence in time, then the so-called time is nothing, you say, are you remembering what happened and then remembering time? Or do you remember the time and then remember what happened? For me, my time completely stopped in the days when Honghe and Ah Yue got along. It doesn't matter what year it is.

But that was not the case with my father in 1983, when time was like a reminder on that desperate night. Because of the loss of contact with Wangxi, I don't know what will happen in the next every second, and the existing system has to be shut down because of the loss of contact with Wangxi, and the worst thing is that if you can't find the "backup system" in time, then, I don't know what will happen, which is also the reason why Tang Weidong, the head of the central investigation team, left cruel words, out of control, which is an immeasurable risk for the organization

Beijing Night.

My father, Huang Weiguo, fell into deep despair in my grandfather Huang Kexing's office, is there a backup system? If so, where exactly is it hidden? My father wanted to be in my grandfather's style, even if he died, he would leave instructions within the second of closing his eyes at the end. But my father looked at the sand in the hourglass on the table, and he collapsed in despair first, and in one night you can find a secret that a man keeps at all costs, which is objectively impossible.

A woman came to the door of the room, she was my mother, and she had come to deliver a message: the virus was spreading.

Viruses are like cancer cells in a person's body, no matter how healthy your body is, as long as the virus in your body spreads to a critical point, then your life structure will immediately change, and even destroy you immediately. My mother came to deliver the message of Manhattan......

It's the spring of 1983.

Zhao Qingci sat in the Starbucks café, asked for a cup of coffee, and listened to the music flowing from the saxophone.

Zhao Qingci is a Chinese artist in the United States, and runs a gallery and club in Manhattan called Blue and White CHING, which mainly represents the works of painters from all over the world and porcelain from Jingdezhen, China, and is also a club where artists, journalists, and writers from all over the world meet. There will always be people who write the task secretly on the blue and white porcelain plate, she observed for a long time, but she did not find the person who conveyed the task, according to the principle of confidentiality, she did not need to know who this person was. When he received the task, Zhao Qingci handed over the business of the store to Dugu Fanghua, a Chinese student. From the age of seventeen to Manhattan to obtain a doctorate in philosophy, to immigrate to the United States, four years of college, two years of graduate school, two years of doctorate, two years of part-time work, ten years of none, she was born in Beijing, her father Zhao Bingcheng and mother Lin Tingting turned out to be a businessman in Shanxi coal mine, after selling the mine, opened a company called China Blue and White Art Import and Export Company in Nanchang, Jiangxi, China, and has branches in all countries in the world, her father Zhao Bingcheng is a Harbin, and her mother Lin Tingting is a native of Taiyuan, Shanxi, All this is in the archives of the CIA, and the CIA has approached Zhao Qingci more than once, and they want Zhao Qingci to become a CIA person. Zhao Celadon did not accept or refuse. Zhao Qingci knew that among these so-called artists, journalists, and writers from all over the world who came to the club, there were CIA people, FBI people, KGB people, and Mossad people, and more often it was a profession to earn a living, but the word agent was Zhao Qingci's mission. Therefore, the real agents are not the kind in the movie, it seems that they are more ordinary than ordinary people, just like sand in the sand, water in the water, they will always exist, they will never exist, existence is a sword, when they don't exist, they are just an ordinary ordinary person who no one knows, just a special job.

During these years in the United States, Zhao Qingci spent a lot of time studying the country, and the American "Global Geographic Magazine" introduced the city of New York as follows: New York was born in 1664, the American Revolutionary War in 1775, the Declaration of Independence was issued in 1776, and the United States of America became independent in 1781,-----。 A lot of people know New York, but they don't necessarily know Washington, so many times New York is the symbol of imperial America. For example, Lady Liberty is the human rights spirit of the United States, and Wall Street, for example, is the economic nerve of the world. The American "Global Geographic" magazine also said that New York's history is relatively short, only more than 300 years. The earliest settlements were at the southern tip of Manhattan Island, where the Indians lived. The Italian Vrazano was the first to come to the estuary in 1524, and in 1609 the Englishman Hudson made an expedition up the river, and the river was named after him. In 1626, the Dutch bought Manhattan Island from the Indians for small items worth about 60 guilders (equivalent to $24) and turned it into a trading post, which they called "New Amsterdam". In 1664, King Charles II's younger brother, the Duke of York, occupied the area and renamed it New York (New York, England has Yorkshire). New York was founded in 1686. During the Revolutionary War, New York was the seat of George Washington's headquarters and his first president of the United States, and the temporary capital of the United States at the time. In 1825, the Erie Canal, which connected the Hudson River to the Great Lakes, was completed and navigated, and later a railroad was built, connecting New York with the Midwest and promoting the city's great development. By the middle of the 19th century, New York had become the largest port city in the United States and an international metropolis integrating finance, trade, tourism, culture and the arts.

At this time when Yue Celadon was drinking coffee, Nastasia, dressed in black, led a group of people into the Chinese Hall in New York's Chinatown. The Chinese Tang Chunqiu is writing, and the Americans do not understand, this is China's quintessential Chinese calligraphy, which belongs to the world's intangible cultural heritage. Tang Chunqiu was holding a large pen, saw someone coming in, smiled and was about to stop to greet the guests, Nastasia waved her hand and said, "NO, NO, don't stop, continue." ”

Tang Chunqiu took the pen and said, I'm sorry, you wait a while, I'll be fine. The rice paper on the large table is filled with a fragrance, and Tang Chunqiu wrote a poem by the Chinese poet Li Bai: The bright moonlight in front of the bed, the frost on the ground, holding up the bright moon, bowing his head and thinking of his hometown.

Nastasia said, "It's a good poem."

Tang Chunqiu said, you also understand China?

Nastasia said that she doesn't understand China, but her hometown is a good thing for everyone. The conversation changed to say, we are the CIA, are you Mr. Tang Chunqiu?

Tang Chunqiu said, yes.

Nastasia took out her gun and said to Tang Chunqiu, then it won't be wrong, Nastasia said while showing her ID, We are ordered to arrest you.

The pen in Tang Chunqiu's hand flew towards Nastasia like lightning, lost the gun in Alana's hand, flew up, and rotated three hundred and sixty degrees in place with a chain of feet in the air, and struck three blows with one leg, sweeping Nastasia and the two black-clothed people beside her to the ground together, Nastasia took advantage of the situation, and there was an extra shining knife in her hand, stabbing at Tang Chunqiu like electricity, Tang Chunqiu saw that he was outnumbered and had no intention of fighting, a backflip man was already standing on the window, the gun rang out, and the bullet was faster, All the bullets that came came hit Tang Chunqiu's body, Tang Chunqiu became a bull's-eye, his body smashed the glass, his body fell downstairs, and he smashed into a big character on the ground downstairs. They rushed downstairs and surrounded Tang Chunqiu, who was lying on the ground, and a man in black carefully examined Tang Chunqiu's body, and then said to Nastasia that he was dead.

Nastasia said to the two men in black, "You two stay, take all the people from the guild hall with you, and the others go with me."

The police car stopped downstairs at the Confucius Martial Arts Center on Fifth Avenue in New York, a center dedicated to the teaching of Chinese language and Guoshu (martial arts). The sound of the guqin upstairs is a song of Chinese ancient music "high mountains and flowing water", the sound of the qin is simple and melodious, and it is moving. The sound of children reading came from the classroom, "At the beginning of people, nature is good and ------" Nastasia rushed directly to the sound of the piano with people, and saw a Chinese woman in a Chinese cheongsam in front of the guqin who was stroking the qin, and everyone's guns were aimed at the woman who was stroking the qin, Nastasia asked, who is Xia Yuxue?

The woman stopped and stroked the piano's slender fingers and said without changing color, Xia Yuxue is me, is there something wrong?

Nastasia didn't bother to report her identity, so she said directly, take it for me.

Nastasia's order was not finished, the guqin in front of the woman rushed towards her like a blade, Nastasia just wanted to dodge it was too late, the guqin hit her chest, directly knocking her to the ground.

I don't know the gun that Xia Yuxue took out from there, and the two men in black have already fallen down in response to the gunshot. Xia Yuxue rushed to Nastasia on the ground like a shadow, Nastasia snatched the submachine gun in the hand of a black-clothed man next to her closely, and fired a sharp shot, the blood on Xia Yuxue's body splashed in all directions like exploding rain, and her body fell to the ground like a broken leaf, Nastasia stepped forward and shot at Xia Yuxue's heart again, as if she was afraid that Xia Yuxue on the ground would stand up at this time.

Confirming that Xia Yuxue was dead, Nastasia ordered, saying, search the place, carry out seizures, and take everyone away. Go, next stop.

Zhao Celadon drank coffee, studying this country with a history of only more than 200 years, there will be some confusion, those ancient civilizations in the world have disappeared, only the Chinese civilization has a long history, that is, the United States under this ass for more than 200 years, his history is not as long as a Chinese painting, and Chinese Chinese painting is painted on a piece of rice paper, Americans will not believe that a piece of rice paper can be longer than their history, let alone Chinese porcelain, Any piece of blue and white porcelain has a much longer history than the United States, but what's the use? A country without history can drive an aircraft carrier to your doorstep, and when you think of these heart-stopping things, that kind of nihilistic mission will become real and real in your heart. At this time, the fierce gunfire suddenly remembered outside the window, it looked like a plot in a Hollywood blockbuster, the person who was being chased was an oriental face, this oriental face man did not seem to be frightened, the gun in his hand shot at the people who surrounded him, until there were no bullets, the man in black who surrounded him kept shooting at him, he became a standing target, the bullet holes on his body kept gushing blood, as if the blood was flowing out of his body, and he fell like a scarecrow at the door of the blue and white CHING. The man in black showed his ID to the passerby and said: CIA is on official business. Some people say: the FBI is on official business. At this moment, fierce gunfire rang out not far away.

Zhao Qingci went out and asked: You have to say hello in advance when you make a movie, you are like this, how do I do this business?

Nastasia said, what movie to make? We're on official business, and I'm Nastasia, a CIA clerk. Yo, Nastasia looked at Zhao Qingci with suspicion and said, you are also an Oriental? The United States is messed up by you Orientals.

Zhao Qingci was angry at this time, and said angrily, is Dongfang Face guilty? Don't you disdain?

Nastasia, the man in black, held a gun at Zhao Celadon and said, can't you shut up?

Zhao Qingci said, shoot? Shoot? You're a grandson if you don't shoot? Are you bad people all over the world except you Americans? My wife is also a U.S. citizen, so you shoot?

Intuition told Zhao Celadon that something was wrong, but he didn't know what it was. Zhao Qingci saw that the police car at the scene had the logo of the CIA and the FBI, and both the CIA and the FBI appeared at the scene at the same time to explain that it would not be a trivial matter. Zhao Qingcis's heart was full of confusion and anxiety. But I don't know what to do, except to wait is to wait.

Nastasia pointed a gun at Zhao Celadon and said, stay honest, don't go out, it's better not to touch my muzzle, you will die a miserable death.

THIS AFTERNOON, ANOTHER ORIENTAL FACE WALKED INTO QINGHUA CHING, AND AFTER THIS PERSON SAT DOWN, HE SAID DIRECTLY TO ZHAO QINGCI IN CHINESE, ARE YOU THE BOSS HERE?

Zhao Qingci said, yes, you are Chinese?

Someone said, this is not important, I want to order a piece of porcelain, is it okay?

Zhao Qingci said, of course you can.

Someone said, the content is provided by me, I am specially customized, the time is very tight, can it be done?

Zhao Qingci said, of course you can, what are the requirements? You say.

Someone said that I would order a Chinese blue and white porcelain vase, the content of which is two Chinese poems, "Heaven and earth are together and dare to be with the king".

This is a code word that can only be used at the most urgent moment, but Zhao Qingci still vigilantly looked at the man in front of him, and the man himself introduced that there were renegades, many comrades sacrificed, and the above asked you to go to Iraq immediately, and when you arrived in Iraq, someone was waiting for you at the airport. After saying this, the man glanced at Zhao Celadon deeply and said, take care, as if this glance is goodbye, after speaking, he got up, turned around and walked out of the gallery, and disappeared into the crowd at the door.

Zhao Qingci did not believe in this sudden appearance of Chinese-speaking Chinese faces, and Japanese and Koreans could also pose as Chinese faces. Even if there is a sudden incident, this is not in accordance with the procedure, even if this person is indeed from the organization, according to the confidentiality regulations, it is still not credible, who dares to conclude that this is not a means of the CIA? Zhao Qingci suddenly became nervous, could it be that this intruder was a renegade?

It was a dark day in Manhattan.

My mother had come to tell my father about the importance of time, and that if he couldn't find a backup system, he didn't know what would happen next, which was completely immeasurable. But when I saw my father's hair starting to turn gray, he just stood and didn't dare to enter the door, because my mother was afraid that at this time, any straw could easily crush my father, because, my mother knew that my father was the most unsuitable person for special work, and my father, in addition to inheriting my grandfather's extraordinary memory, and my grandfather were completely two personalities, weak, sensitive, and indifferent, and it should be said that the most suitable profession for my father was to be a mathematics teacher.
