Family

On October 6, Yi Xu asked his father to be discharged from the hospital early after confirming that there was no major problem with his father's doctor. An hour later, he took a taxi to Larnaca International Airport and returned home.

His father was in a coma for four and a half months, and after determining that he had passed the dangerous period, Yi Xu pieced together all the information obtained in those two or three years, and did further investigation, and finally drew his father's life trajectory clearly after 89 years:

His father went to Russia to pan for gold in 89, and when he heard that Spain was better, he smuggled him to Spain. The world of flowers in Spain immediately attracted him, he was an orphan since he was a child, he only knew what it was like to endure hardship, and he never knew that there was such a paradise! He felt that the previous world was too small, and he was looking for an orphanage where he was looking for a girlfriend and a wife, and his previous life was simply a mistake! He decided to stay, and the best way was to find a Spanish woman to marry.

So he used a phone call to break off with his wife, who was far away in China. Then the Spanish girl Coralia stayed in Spain. Later, he had greater ambitions and began to have the idea of starting a business, he opened a company with two friends to transport goods, and the logistics industry was not as standardized and systematic as it is now, where the customer's goods went, their people went. After handing over the goods at the destination, they look for new business on the spot and go to another destination further away. In addition to land transportation, they also receive business by sea. This is also the reason why Yi Xu traveled all over the continents when he was looking for him - different people have seen him in different places.

Later, a Latvian client gave him a big opportunity to take on a relatively long-term, stable multinational order, and he no longer had to be kicked here and there like a ball all over the world. But he had to live in Latvia for a long time. Latvia shares borders with Estonia, Russia, Belarus and Lithuania, and logistics is a very lucrative business. In order to make his career bigger and bigger, he was determined to become a Latvian citizen so that he could have the status to negotiate more government projects.

He soon fell in love with a local girl and filed for divorce from his Spanish wife, Coralia. After marrying the Latvian girl, he took his wife's surname as his surname and gave himself a very traditional Latvian name, which was so long and weird that he couldn't read it or remember it!

In the first half of 2010, Yi Xu's father was a little frustrated in his business, his married life also made him feel bored, and he was disgusted by the typical wet and cold Eastern European weather in Latvia, so he secretly sold his property and company, left his wife of 17 years, 15-year-old son, and 9-year-old daughter, and fled Latvia with his new lover to visit places around the world with sunshine and beaches.

At the end of 2011, they arrived in Cyprus and decided to stop because they had already spent more than half of their money. After arriving in Cyprus, he took a fancy to the immigration policy just announced by the Cypriot government - residents of non-EU member states can obtain permanent residency in Cyprus as long as they buy a property of more than 300,000 euros, which is very attractive to wealthy Chinese.

He immediately cooperated with more than a dozen immigration companies in China, set up a translation team composed of Chinese in Cyprus, sent customers in China, received the whole process, and took some profits from the real estate company and shared equally with the domestic immigration company. When a client buys a house, he can earn at least 20,000 euros. In just three and a half years, he has earned almost 10 million euros.

Just as he was in the prime of life, a complaint was handed from Latvia to Cyprus, where his wife, with the help of a lawyer, approached him and filed for divorce, suing him for the unilateral transfer of the marital property, which had displaced her and her two minor children. The two children were witnesses in a 14-month divorce affair that resulted in the court awarding all the money in his name and a property in Paphos to his ex-wife.

He didn't feel that the sky was falling, because his girlfriend still had 250,000 euros in his bank account, and just as he was thinking about leaving Cyprus, where the immigration industry had shrunk, and thinking about whether he should go to Spain or Portugal, which is more prosperous, he suddenly wanted to run to the Eros Stone to swim, and his girlfriend died and he almost died.

When Yi Xu learned what his father had done over the years, what kind of person he was, how he had abandoned his three wives and three children like old clothes and shoes over the years, and then thought of his mother raising himself alone because of such a man, lonely for many years, and such an optimistic and pure person who had left a heart disease, and maybe lost his life because of that heart disease, he no longer had the slightest illusion and nostalgia for this father.

My mother said that such a person is worth a pillar of incense when he is dead, and he can only be slapped alive!

Yi Xu never said a word to him, even though his father kept asking, are you my son in China?

"The son in China" – he doesn't remember that his son was once called Duan Yuan, nor that his son was later called Yi Xu, who he said was "the son in China."

He just remembered the face he had when he was younger.

Cyprus is a very beautiful island nation with stunning beaches, sunshine, ancient walls, and some of the best seafood in the world that locals are proud of. This European country happens to be not one of the Schengen countries, I have annual leave, and the company is a relatively happy company, so I should have flown to take half a month's leave.

But Yi continued to say, don't come, it's dirty here.

After Yi Xu sent his father from the hospital to the rented house, he left without leaving a word.

Yi Xu said that he gave me a life, and I also saved his life, and it was evened. Caring for him for so long is just out of reverence for life. In this world, some husband and wife relationships are paper-based, and some father-son relationships are physiological. became a husband only because he was alive to enter the marriage registry; Becoming a father is only because the reproductive system is normal. What can retain people has always been feelings and responsibility, not titles.

The day after Yi Xu returned home, he brought a cake to my house to celebrate his 28th birthday. My mom burst into tears when she saw that he really looked so much better than me, and tears fell to the floor one by one. The next morning, there was still a smear of white dust, Yi Xu didn't dress up at my house, she put on makeup for an hour, and the tanned black from Thailand had faded more than three years ago, and she still had the determination to pour half a box of powder on her face.

Yi Xu made a wish to the candle and said, Mom, we will meet again in the best place!

The four of us stood in front of the cake that night, and Yi Xu took the first group photo with his mobile phone. He laughed in the photo with the best arc in the world.

The most beautiful arc in the world is what I imagined.

The fact is that many years of rejecting the ease of photography have accumulated a sense of strangeness to the lens. His own composure collided with the crampedness of standing in front of the camera, he was excited and restrained, expectant and resistant, calm and helpless, so he seemed to laugh but cry instead of crying in the photo.

It's like a retard.

I set that photo as a phone screensaver, and whoever says I'm not worthy of him in the future, I'll take out my phone and make a name for myself!
