Chapter 18: Sunset Part II
Wu Lie told Ah Yi that he liked Lorraine, and Ah Yi was a very trustworthy person at that time. He didn't tell anyone, but kept Wu Lie's secret as his own secret in his heart. Wu Lie also told him about his ideal of being a soldier, Wu Lie's personality at that time was very lively, but he just had no opinions, and he could even be said to be a little timid, and it was already a lot of courage to tell others about his ideals.
Wu Lie's junior high school art teacher's surname is "Mu", and he is a very interesting person. He is tall and thin, wears a pair of glasses, and has short hair. He always likes to tell students stories about the past, and tell them about his outlook on life and values, which has a great influence on the students' thinking. So much so that when Wu Lie was in college, he was the head of the Propaganda Department. Wu Lie would also give lectures to the members, and at that time he had the shadow of Teacher Mu.
Teacher Mu doesn't teach them rigidly like he usually teaches in class, but he plays with them like a good friend. Wu Lie's personality was really lively at that time. He will also tell jokes to make everyone laugh and tell you some interesting things.
Once when he was painting still lifes, Mr. Mu didn't know where to find a pair of men's old leather shoes. When Wu Lie saw it, he jokingly said, "What's the matter, Mr. Mu, let's break my shoes!" It made the whole studio burst into laughter. Teacher Mu also has a good character, smiled and passed.
Mr. Mu also led the students and did a lot of interesting things. Once, in the winter, it snowed outside the studio. Teacher Mu took the students downstairs to play snow poles. After a few more days, it snowed a lot. Teacher Mu took the students to a snowball fight in a nearby river, because the ice was thick and the river was relatively shallow. So don't worry about the danger of falling into the river if the ice breaks. At that time, they were really crazy, and the vitality of youth was vividly displayed at that time!
Later, because of the transfer of teachers, Mr. Mu was transferred. If there is no teacher in the art class, there will be no soul. After that, it was disbanded. After that, there were no more art classes in junior high school. The frolic in the studio and those romantic and beautiful days are gone.
Maybe, the most can't keep the time~
The art class in the school is gone, but the art careers of Wu Lie and Ah Yi are not over. Ah Yi is very persistent in the pursuit of ideals, and after Mr. Mu left, he did not stop there. He decided to go to the county to study art, and Wu Lie at that time felt that he didn't have anything to do anyway, so he accompanied Ah Yi to study. In this way, the two of them began to study art in the county again. The road to the studio that used to take them to the studio under the sunset has become a bus home.
Wu Lie's hometown is in Luxiang County, and when you hear it, you know that this place is rich in deer. Especially when you enter Wu Lie's hometown, you will see a huge street sign that reads "Welcome to the hometown of wild sika deer in China".
Wu Lie and Ah Yi went to the county town to study art, and their teacher was a woman. She used to be Teacher Mu's classmates, and Wu Lie and Ah Yi were recommended by Teacher Mu. The teacher's surname is Liu, and the feeling that Mr. Liu gives people at first glance is the feeling of a cold and handsome woman. But if I get along with her for a long time, I find that she is actually not bad, and her personality is also very good.
At that time, Mr. Liu's art class was held on Saturdays and Sundays, from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and from 13:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Because Wu Lie and Ah Yi's family did not live in the county at that time, and they were both minors, Mr. Liu allowed the two of them to go late and leave early. Although the two of them were only in junior high school at the time, they were already considered small adults among Mr. Liu's students. Teacher Liu's students are almost all children. There are kindergartens and elementary schools, and before they came, Mr. Liu's oldest student was only in the first year of junior high school.
The two of them would also tell Mr. Liu what was on their minds, because at that time, painting was a whole day, and it would be boring to draw all the time. Wu Lie's DJ will also have times when he is bored listening to them, and Ah Yi's comics will also have times when he is bored of reading them, so he will chat with Mr. Liu. As an adult, Ms. Liu will also tell them about the thoughts and life experiences of adults. Talk about your future, your past stories, and the people and things around you. A day has passed......
Around Mr. Liu's studio, there are many construction sites. Those construction teams got up early and worked late to build buildings, and more and more buildings were built around the studio. Wu Lie stood in the classroom and looked out the window at the higher and higher floors, and said, "Build, build." The more you build, the cheaper the house gets! Our family will be able to buy a house in the county. ”
Later, Cheng Xiong really bought a house in the county. Wu Lie was very happy, because he didn't have to toss back and forth anymore.
However, fate is never certain.
In 2009, Wu Lie was already in his third year of junior high school, and there was still one semester to take the high school entrance examination. But his academic performance is really not very good, and it can even be said that it is too poor. There are a total of seven courses in the high school entrance examination, and the three main subjects are also the high point of the Chinese score, and the remaining two subjects can only be copied. Science subjects include physics, chemistry, and biology. Wu Lie only has a general degree in biology, and the rest can basically only be copied, but at that time, the high school entrance examination did not take biology. Liberal arts include politics, history, and geography, and Wu Lie is only good at history. At that time, in the high school entrance examination, the liberal arts were basically open-booked, and no matter how good the history was, it couldn't be scored.
When Wu Lie was young, Cheng Xiong graduated from college, and the knowledge of junior high school and elementary school was basically read by him. Since he was a child, he has taught Wu Lie math problems, and talked about various knowledge points and various question types that he can understand but Xiao Wu Lie can't understand. If Xiao Wulie didn't, he would humiliate him, scold him for his low IQ, and even beat him. In the end, it can only lead to one result, that is, Wu Lie's extreme disgust with those knowledge points. Even sometimes when Chengxiong gave him a lecture, he would cry unconsciously. So since he transferred from elementary school, to junior high school at that time. Wu Lie's feeling about learning is not that he has learned knowledge, but that those things will bring humiliation and beatings to himself.
Wu Lie didn't like to be asked about his grades at that time. Whenever I asked, I felt another self-blame and pain in my heart. People tend to care about students with good grades but not about students with poor grades. Students with good grades are often rewarded and praised, and students with poor grades are often punished and relentless.
In the years when academic performance was paramount, that kind of psychology was terrifying. There is no interest in learning, no self-confidence, but a hatred of learning. So his study is really not good, but he also knows that learning is useful, but there is no way. He didn't have an opinion, and in the end, Chengxiong helped him get the idea, and he was downgraded two levels in a row, and he started junior high school again from the first year of junior high school. Wu Lie's art career came to an end.
Wu Lie is unwilling to be demoted, and no one is willing to be demoted. is demoted, which means that he is going to cut off contact with his former friend Ah Yi and say goodbye to Lorraine. How could I bear my immature heart at that time.
Cheng Xiong didn't care what friends and people Wu Lie had at that time, his heart was a product of the era of economic development. If he is responsible, he is only responsible for Wu Lie's life. He didn't care what Wu Lie was thinking at that time.
On the way to study, the most difficult thing is not material deprivation, but the inner torment on the way to study. Sometimes students with poor grades tend to be under more pressure than those with good grades. Students with good grades will learn better and better because they are interested in learning and have self-confidence in learning. Students with poor grades slowly lose interest in learning, or even dislike it, and the more they learn, the worse they become.
Say goodbye to your former friends, goodbye to the girl who went to her heart but slipped away quietly. Wu Lie lowered his head and walked into the classroom of students who were once two grades younger than himself, what an uncomfortable feeling!
In this way, Wu Lie was demoted.
After being relegated, Wu Lie began to become more energetic. The past is like a dream......
Wu Lie began to learn to face it, to face his bleak life that he had been confused about. He began to live out the light like Ah Yi in the past. He is constantly learning, very motivated and self-reliant. I learn very late every day, not for the praise of others, but for the years I have lost.
His spiritual world is not so empty, and the inspirational characters in his mind are slowly beginning to increase. Lu Xun, Churchill, and Genghis Khan came to him one by one. He once went from the tenth in the class in the first exam to the second in the class. For the first time, he felt that learning could bring him happiness and self-confidence, and it could bring him a different sense of achievement. It was a feeling that he had never experienced, correct and positive. His ideals also slowly became ambitious, from a soldier to a scientist. He is also fighting for this little by little.
In the afterglow of the setting sun, he was writing until late at night.
His family has houses in the town and the county, because Wu Lie basically has to go to school from Monday to Friday, so he has to live in the town. Then I had a holiday on Saturday and Sunday, and then I went back to live in the county. At that time, a classmate asked Wu Lie: "Since there are houses in the county, why don't you go to school in the county?" ”
Wu Lie would half-jokingly reply: "Because I can't bear you!" ”
In fact, he couldn't bear his past years!
Later, once Wu Lie took the bus back to the county and saw it. The street sign in that hometown that reads "Welcome to the hometown of wild sika deer in China" has also been changed to "Forest fire prevention, everyone is responsible." Perhaps, this is the time that is slowly changing!
Wu Lie walked slowly through the streets of the university campus. He looked up at the sky, and there was the same sunset of that year, that month, and that sunset. He was thinking, thinking about life, thinking about how he should choose his future. He has experienced too many past events, too many unbearable retrospectives, too many re-establishments, too many joys and sorrows. He's going forward! Keep moving forward and struggle! To live his innermost and truest self! He doesn't want to continue to live in other people's worlds, he wants to live his true self! A wonderful one that has always belonged only to him!
