Sometimes a small thing done inadvertently can change many people's lives in an instant.

The story happened in the summer vacation of the third year of high school, as soon as the college entrance examination results came out, a few families were happy and a few were sad, I am the kind of optimistic nature, and being admitted to this university in this city is my ultimate goal. So, I had an easy college entrance examination. Because of my credits, it's more than enough to go here.

On the third day after the results of the college entrance examination came out, a big event happened.

A girl from a poor family in our class couldn't bear the blow because of the failure of the college entrance examination, so she chose to jump from the window on the 7th floor in the middle of the night, and ended her short life heroically and calmly.

When the news came, the whole school was shocked.

Ah Pao and I, as well as a few good classmates, were the first to go to her house after hearing the news.

Her name is Wan Xian, and in the three years of high school, we didn't have much impression of her. She is the kind of girl who can't get up or down, usually talks little, and her learning method is very conservative, and she belongs to the kind of girl who holds books all day long. I don't usually have many friends, so one or two people go together, and they are all the less active ones in the class.

We rarely cross paths. The only time in my memory was that she timidly asked me: Yi Zhizhi, is there any other way to solve this question?

When I listed a simple method for her, I saw the surprise and envy in her eyes. In my impression, she is just such a bland little girl with dark skin and a thin body.

I never thought for a moment that her heart was so fragile, her endurance was so low, that she would choose such a heroic way to die.

When we arrived at her house and saw her little body lying there quietly covered with a white cloth, we all burst into tears.

I said to her in my heart: Wan Xian, there is no college entrance examination in heaven, there is no saying that the college entrance examination changes fate, I believe in you, you can breathe freely there.

I stayed at Wan Xian's house with Ah Pao, Cub, and Chubby, helping to greet Wan Xian's relatives with our shallow words. I especially can't see the tears of Grandma Wan Xian, the sorrow of the white-haired man sending the black-haired man, although we have not experienced it, we have felt the heartache.

Wan Xian's family conditions are not good, her parents have been laid off, and she can only make a living by setting up stalls, and there are young siblings and a grandmother who is bedridden all the year round.

Wan Xian's parents planned to cremate Wan Xian's body, hire a small boat to scatter it into the sea, and then ask the monks of the temple to overtake Wan Xian's soul.

When we heard this, we were very sad. I discussed with Ah Pao, Cub, and Chubby to pool money to hold a small funeral ceremony for Wan Xian. But the pocket money of the four of us is quite limited, Ah Pao said: Either go to the school post bar and call on everyone.

So, we got into action. And Chenxi, after seeing the post we sent, contacted me very quickly.

Soon after the post was posted, forty or fifty students joined our team. Everyone didn't have much intersection with Wan Xian before, but that kind of sad emotion, I believe everyone is spontaneous. A life that once breathed in the same heaven and earth as us suddenly disappears, and no one can not be sad. Because, we are one kind.

We scraped together some money and went together to buy wreaths and flowers, and made a posthumous portrait for Wan Xian. Then, in the narrow courtyard of Wan Xian's house, a small funeral was held around her ashes and portraits.

The courtyard of Wan Xian's house was crowded with students who came to see him off. I read the short story of Wan Xian's life with tears in my eyes, and I condemned the cruelty of the college entrance examination with some hatred, and everything seemed so pale and powerless in the face of life.

Everyone cried, and we thought not only of Wan Xian's departure, but also of the mountains of books and endless exercises, those lifeless slogans, and the college entrance examination that could determine our lives and even easily deprive Wan Xian of her life...... Those days of fighting for the college entrance examination are far away from us, and Wan Xian is also gone from us.

Such suppressed emotions, such a heavy present, make each of our hearts bleed.

When we saw off Wan Xian, I don't know when, Chenxi walked next to me. That day, I was immersed in sadness, and I didn't have any palpitations for Chenxi around me.

He was also very low, and we chatted with each other.

He said, "Yi Zhizhi, I never knew that death was so close to us.

I said: I also didn't think about it, we were still so young, I always thought that death was far away from us.

He said: Cherish every day of your life, I don't want to experience such depression again.

I said, "I'm the same, we all have to cherish life."
