0145 Sad evaluation: I dedicated my youth to my life, and I dedicated my life to my children and grandchildren

Xiaoyu plays the role of her sister and brother and is responsible for the narration, while Wang Liang plays the role of her father.

"Daddy." The elder brother shook his father's leg and said to him, "Look how tall the tree is! ”

Dad didn't look back from his contemplation, but the sister next to him interjected: "No, that's not a tree, that's a big umbrella." ”

Brother: "How can there be such a big umbrella!" ”

"Look how straight it is!" My sister argued.

"It's a tree, not an umbrella!" My brother affirmed.

A little argument interrupted the father's train of thought, and he smiled, slowly stroked the children's heads, and said, "This is not an umbrella, it is an aspen tree." ”

The elder brother is still not satisfied: "Why is it so straight and grows so big?" ”

Dad's smile vanished, and his face turned serious.

He thought for a moment, then said to his son and youngest daughter, "The poplar tree has always been so straight. Wherever it is needed, it quickly takes root and grows thick branches. No matter whether it encounters a drought or a flood, it is always so straight, so strong, not weak, and not wavering. ”

Did dad just introduce the kids to poplar trees?

No, he is also confessing his heart. And this, the children still can't understand.

They only know that their father works in Xinjiang Province, and their mother also works in Xinjiang Province.

They only knew that their father would come back to their grandmother's house and take them to Xinjiang Province to study in primary school, and then to go to middle school in the future.

They only know that Xinjiang Province is a far, far away place, and it takes a few days to take a train and a few days to take a car.

Now, the children have a little more knowledge.

On the road to Xinjiang Province, there are many poplar trees.

They are needed here, and they are here to take root.

Dad put a child in his arm and looked at the poplar trees flashing out the window, and fell into deep thought again.

Suddenly, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, because he saw that to the right of the direction of the train, beside a tall poplar tree, several small trees were growing up against the wind and sand......

(ps: A text from elementary school, now I read it with a lot of emotion, and I have mixed feelings in my heart.) ）

——

With Wang Liang's cooperation, Xiaoyu completed the reading excellently.

The comment area is very quiet, and netizens are still immersed in the train and the conversation between the father and his daughter and son.

The text "Poplar" is very simple, about a father and two children on a train to Xinjiang Province, looking out the window of the poplar tree to start a discussion.

Through the poplars, he enthusiastically praised the lofty ambition and dedication of the frontier builders to obey the needs of the motherland, take root in the frontier, and build the frontier.

From the trees to the people, it starts with the children's argument about the poplar.

Then it leads to Dad's introduction to the characteristics of poplar, supporting things and words, and borrowing things to metaphor people.

Then he wrote that his father used poplar to show his ambition to take root in the frontier, and hoped that his child could also become a frontier builder.

The article does not directly praise those selfless builders, but gradually blends the tall and graceful poplars on the Gobi and the image of the builders rooted in the frontier.

The poplar outside the car window stands tall and straight in the vast Gobi.

The poplar in the eyes of my father - regardless of the environment, not afraid of disasters, thriving.

The poplar in my father's mind is the embodiment of the frontier builder who is rooted in the frontier and selfless dedication.

The depiction is very expressive.

Wang Liang and Xiaoyu cooperated to vividly portray the language description and demeanor of the father and son.

The child is innocent, and the father is serious and kind.

The text does not have much direct description of the psychology of the characters, but uses the gods to convey feelings, and expresses the waves of feelings through the changes in the demeanor of the characters.

These simple and straightforward things don't need Wang Liang to talk about, netizens can understand them themselves.

This is only an inconspicuous primary school text, but the meaning is long and far-reaching.

After a moment of silence, the comment section exploded.

"It was fine at first, but the more I listened to it, the more uncomfortable I felt, I don't know why, there was a sentimental and sad tone."

"I kept digging through the bottom of the box to find the primary school textbook and found this text, which had a line on it that I wrote awkwardly: I want to be a poplar tree when I grow up, regardless of the environment, not afraid of disasters, thrive, rooted in the frontier, selfless dedication. Tears flowed down my face, and now I live like I don't want to see. ”

"Yes, I studied this text when I was in elementary school. In the story of the 50s, a large number of young people in the mainland actively responded to the party's call to go to Xinjiang, develop the great northwest, work hard, and dedicate their youth to their lives, and dedicate their lives to their children and grandchildren. Who still remembers those young people from the mainland? ”

"I still think about a few slogans of the year, 'prepare for war and prepare for the people', good people and good people are on the third line, that is the call of the times, and more than 1,100 large and medium-sized industrial and mining enterprises, scientific research units and colleges and universities have been built across the country."

As the topic unfolded, the discussion among netizens became more heated.

"A massive strategic shift that began in 1964 led to the Great Migration that took place for nearly 17 years. Tens of millions of hot-blooded men and women, with the enthusiasm of dedicating their youth and lives to China's national defense and military industry, have taken root in the mountains like dandelions from Beijing, Shanghai, Shenshi, Haicheng and other important industrial towns to poor rural areas. ”

"More than 40 years have passed, their old bodies have given up their attachment to their hometown, and the children who marked their feat are bearing the burden of strategic adjustment from the third-line construction, as well as the forgotten by history."

"Just ask, who still remembers the third-tier people back then?!"

"I remember that, unlike the traditional sense of people going to high places and water flowing to low places, the third-tier immigrants followed the policy of "relying on the mountains, scattering, and concealing", and advocated a spirit of good people and good horses coming into the mountains, mobilizing a large number of manpower and material resources from the eastern coastal and northern industrial cities to move to the remote and deep mountains in the west. In addition to making tremendous contributions to China's national defense and military industry, the investment of more than 200 billion yuan in the past 17 years has also enabled the third-line construction to promote the local economy and even urban construction. ”

"It's a pity that a large number of former third-tier enterprises have relocated, or mergers, bankruptcies, reorganizations, transfers, and bankruptcies, have gradually disappeared from the stage of history!"

"The three informants are in tears!"

"The descendants of the third-line people passed by, thank you for remembering us, thank you for the old chief and the little sweetheart for reciting this text, my heart is very warm after listening. It's nice to have someone remember us! ”

Wang Liang let out a long sigh and recited "Poplar", which was intended for this.

Wang Liang: "The construction of the third line is not only a great and successful self-redemption of New China surrounded by various powerful hostile forces, but also objectively speaking, it can be regarded as the first development of the western region of New China. ”
