Chapter 22: Idealism

Wu Lie sat in that corner and ate silently, like a man abandoned by the world. There are only two dishes on the plate, one is dried tofu with sharp peppers, and the other is soy tofu, Wu Lie is a person who loves soy products. The anger in the past few days has been too great, the corners of the mouth have cracked, and it hurts when I move. But he still eats as if he was nothing, so many days, so many things to experience. He can't escape from the wall, he can only face the reality and stick to his principles in the twists and turns of reality!

He also has a principle when he eats, that is, there must be no thing left on the plate.

It all started in high school......

He was not admitted to a key high school, strictly speaking, he was a self-financed student.

That year, the high school entrance examination came! Because of his unsatisfactory results in an English test, his total score did not reach the publicly-funded admission score of the key high school at that time. But his family didn't want Wu Lie to go to an ordinary high school, after all, Wu Lie had been in junior high school for five years! So his family tried their best to let him go to a key high school, and he became a self-financed student. Originally, when he was in high school, his mother's promise to buy Wu Lie a new mobile phone could not be fulfilled because Wu Lie was not admitted to a key high school at public expense.

The key high school in Luxiang County is called "Luxiang County No. 2 Middle School", which is a very beautiful school. It is the highest institution of learning in Luxiang County, referred to as "Luxiang No. 2 Middle School". It was also the alma mater of Cheng Xiong, who was also admitted to Luxiang No. 2 Middle School in the early nineties. No. 2 Middle School carries the memories of two generations and two eras.

Wu Lie studied at the No. 2 Middle School in 2012, and the environment of the No. 2 Middle School was so good that the normal students who came here for internships said that its campus architectural style was not like a high school, but more like a university architectural style. Why was Wu Lie attracted by the beautiful appearance of Beichun Architecture College when he filled in the college application? Maybe it's because I don't want the architecture of my university to be worse than my high school architecture.

The canteen of No. 2 Middle School is the best canteen in the canteen of Luxiang County. But the price of the meal was not cheap, and the dishes were counted as money at that time, and a meal cost a dollar. If you usually eat a meal in the cafeteria, it will cost eight or nine yuan. Eight or nine yuan for a meal is not cheap in the average school cafeteria. But the taste is also right at this price.

The schedule of the second middle school is very tight, starting from 7:10 for morning self-study, starting from 8:10 for four consecutive classes until 11:30 noon, starting from 13:30 for four consecutive classes until 16:30 in the afternoon, and starting from 18:30 for two consecutive evening self-study until 20:40 in the evening. Throughout the day, classes were filled. Except for eating at noon and running recess exercises in the afternoon, Wu Lie basically won't go downstairs.

High school life is boring, and it can even be said to be very depressing. Small desks, crowded classrooms. The closer you get to noon, the more sleepy you become, studying day after day, and doing problems, there is no other way to relax and entertain. That kind of life Wu Lie really didn't fit in, in other words, he didn't like it at all! Wu Lie will have a rejection of things he doesn't like, especially learning knowledge, which has been the case since he was a child.

The knowledge points fell more and more, but he did not give up learning. Like those good students, he worked hard. But at that time, he was still a student, and it was also in the era of learning first, and his grades were getting worse and worse than others. The self-confidence that had just been built up after being demoted from junior high school was being eroded less and less, and the world was slowly becoming gray. He slowly discovered that he no longer understood many of the things that his teachers said. The science subject he used to be most proud of has begun to betray him! It's because the method and method of learning are wrong, and his books are about to be rotten, but he just can't study well, and his grades can't go up. Unlike other students who easily get grades, he works hard, but he struggles.

At that time, Wu Lie's thoughts were very negative, the most pitiful and the most obscure. He is a person with a lot of self-esteem and a very strong person. But life is like waves, constantly washing this reef in Wu Lie's heart. At that point in his life, he even questioned the world. How could the world be like this? Shouldn't it be like this, the beauty of the world? He was like this, one day, two days, ten days, twenty days, a hundred days! Two hundred days! In this way, he fell deeper and deeper, deeper and deeper.

In those years, Wu Lie slowly became no longer lively, but had a gloomy face. No one would come to him again, and he slowly became friendless. Sometimes, he may not say a word for days when he arrives at school. It's not that he doesn't want to talk about it, every time other people talk to their partners after class, and he also wants someone to come and talk to him after seeing it. However, it is still a society where learning is paramount! In fact, the communication and exchange between people also need benefits.

Wu Lie was silent like this. People do not explode in silence, they destroy in silence!

Wu Lie found that the life around him was completely devoid of fun. His ideals are getting farther and farther away, and in the years when he is still only a dozen years of experience, the future is so terrible, no ideals, no life, no pursuit, no love. A real life like the walking dead, that's all! His worldview ——— collapsed!

Have you ever felt like your worldview was collapsing? That's a denial of your previous self-worth, that's a renunciation of the meaning of life, that's even the heart to die! I can't sleep every night. I don't have any self-confidence in my heart, and I feel that there is no point in living. His eyes dare not look at others, and he always feels that others look down on him. Class is to look at the blackboard in a daze, except to go to the toilet after class. I just went back to my desk and continued to look at the book in a daze, not listening to the knowledge at all. Numbness, repeating one thing every day.

Until he had a dream......

The dream was in a dark world, and the world was so hazy and obscure. Wu Lie walked there, not knowing what he was looking for. He walked slowly until he saw a beam of light. He slowly approached the light, and when he entered, he realized that it was the huge hawthorn tree from his childhood!

Under the tree stood a woman, with golden skin, all golden, dressed in a golden dress, and her hair strung with pearls, hanging down like a bracelet, all golden. She blinked the eyebrows on his golden eyes, looked at Wu Lie and said, "I've been waiting for you for a long time. ”

Wu Lie said, "Are you?" ”

The woman beckoned to him: "Come, come quickly, my child." ”

Wu Lie asked in surprise, "Are you ......?"

The woman replied, "Goddess of Fate! (The following woman is changed to the goddess of fate)

Wu Lie replied in shock: "You are the goddess of fate?" ”

The goddess of fate said, "Yes! I'm going to show you something. ”

Wu Lie was puzzled and asked, "What is it?" ”

Goddess of Fate: "Look at me, look at me with all your heart!" ”

Wu Lie: "That's ......"

Goddess of Fate: "What do you see?" ”

Wu Lie: "That's ...... That's ......"

The goddess of fate said, "Yes, that's you!"

Wu Lie: "What are you going to do?" ”

Goddess of Fate: "Give you a new soul." ”

After that, I woke up from the dream......

A few days later, on one occasion, their Chinese teacher gave them a lesson. The teacher's surname is Jia, and he is a very good teacher. There are two realms of teacher teaching, the first is to look at the textbook and give a lecture to the students. The second is to convey one's own worldview, outlook on life and values to students through textbooks. And he belongs to the second type, he said to his classmates in class: "Even if you are doing a wrong thing, you insist on doing it to the extreme and doing your best, then you are also a successful person!" ”

What a philosophical sentence this sentence was for Wu Lie, whose worldview had collapsed at that time. So he vowed to do something that only he could do and no one else could do!

At that time, Wu Lie felt that anyway, isn't it all about studying hard now to be admitted to a good university and find a good job in the future. Aren't they all fighting for how much money they will earn in the future? What can reflect one's own value is now in addition to academic performance. There's one more thing, and that's money! But now I'm in high school, and I can't make money outside. What to do? So he thought of the easiest way ——— save money!

But you also have to have a goal when you save money! What do you do with your savings? You can't keep your money in your pocket! At that time, Wu Lie's family lived in the county seat at that time. But there is only a computer and no TV in the house, which is a very embarrassing thing. If one person is using the computer, then the others can only stare dryly, and there is no entertainment equipment at all. In the Spring Festival Gala in 2013, Wu Lie's family watched it around the computer, which was particularly awkward! In the living room of Wu Lie's house, the place where the TV was to be put was empty, and Wu Lie always felt a little weird.

Then save money! it!

In this way, Wu Lie only eats a spoonful of dried tofu with sharp peppers at noon every day, with a meal. It was the same at night, and after more than a month, the money was saved to 1,500 yuan. When he had enough money, he told his mother that he wanted to buy a TV. His mother asked him why, and after he told her about the cause and effect, his mother was moved by his persistence and decided to take out 1,500 yuan herself. So Wu Lie's family bought back a 3,000 yuan LCD TV! Now the Wu Lie family has a device that can be used for the whole family to entertain together.

Wu Lie continued to save money because he found confidence in it. Later, I slowly saved, saved, and the money became more and more.

One day, he suddenly wanted to write down the process of saving his money. He went to the stationery store to buy a ledger and kept it every day. Later remember, remember. It felt too boring, so he posted all kinds of inspirational stories and pictures of inspirational characters on it, and he also wrote a poem on it.

It reads like this:

On Yourself

I wouldn't choose to be an ordinary person!

If I can do it,

I have the right to be an unusual person.

I am convinced that my destiny is in my own hands!

I want to be brave enough to take my own steps!

I want to live my own life boldly!

I look for opportunities, but I don't seek stability!

I accumulate energy, but I don't store up regrets!

I don't want to live on the handouts of my country and my parents.

It would be looked down upon by others and myself, and it would be painful for me.

I'm convinced! There will still be people who live unyieldingly for that unattainable dream.

I'm convinced! People who truly know how to pursue their dreams,

You will not be indifferent to watch your dreams shattered.

A truly idealistic person has his own ideals.

All he knows is that

If anyone is going to question it, prove it!

If there is any force to thwart it, defend it!

It's in my nature to stand upright,

Proud and fearless.

I want to be free to think, act, and believe.

I want to indulge in the value I create.

When I stand between heaven and earth one day, I will proudly say:

"I'm on my own! I did it! ”
