"Looking at the leaves falling outside the window, the old man smiled with satisfaction, 99 years old, on behalf of the old man has gone through the fall of the country, the strife of war, the political ****, the reform and opening up, and finally enjoyed this beautiful era created by the blood of the soldiers and the people, and also represents the special of the old man.
At eight o'clock in the evening, when it was late at night, the old man had already prepared a table of delicacies, dressed in newly made clothes, and looked at the family in front of him, but a trace of warmth suddenly rose in his heart, although the old man never really cared about these children, but they never complained about anything. The old man closed his eyes and felt the countdown time in the depths of his mind, and found that he no longer had the previous reluctance, and after cutting off this fate, he was left with the pursuit that had been rooted in his heart for more than 70 years.
After dinner at nine o'clock in the evening, the old man sat on his rattan chair that had accompanied him for more than 20 years, holding a photo of his youth in his hand, with his parents and him in the photo, as if reminiscing, as if explaining to his children and grandchildren: "I was born in 1916, when the Republic of China had been established for five years, and it was lucky and unfortunate to be born in that era. Luckily, you grew up in a relatively stable environment, and unfortunately, you're just coming of age to be exposed to fire. Your grandfather was a wealthy businessman at that time, and he hoped that I could also become a businessman and inherit the family business, but at that time I was ignorant, and vowed to become a scholar despite my father's opposition, and in the end your grandfather had no choice, so he agreed to my choice, and supported me with his huge family business, so that I could travel thousands of mountains and rivers, travel all over the world, communicate with scholars in various places, understand the history and culture of various places, explore the places of interest and historical sites in various places, and discover the truth hidden behind the history of various placesγ So when I left home, we were only able to see each other again when your grandfather was seriously ill and about to die, but your grandfather told me that he never blamed me, and that he passed away peacefully. After your grandfather is gone, I will dismiss all the people in the family, hide my surname and name, and continue my dream. β
"Didn't Grandpa meet the Japanese?" asked a grandson curiously, they had never heard Grandpa talk about this history, "I heard that the Japanese were rarely cruel at that time!"
"Of course I did. The old man sighed and shook his head as he said, "But they don't dare to do anything to Grandpa, who has friends all over the world, and they can't touch Grandpa without a valid reason." The old man said, paused for a moment, and hid the murderous aura in his eyes, "Later, Japan surrendered, New China was liberated, and grandpa settled down in a small village, which is what you call hometown, and then later, the country went through that turmoil and lack of culture, and grandpa was invited to preside over cultural repair after the end of that period." β
"Grandpa, where is our real hometown?" asked another little girl curiously.
"A true hometown. The old man's eyes deepened, but it was fleeting, and then the old man looked at his child, "It's better if you don't know the real hometown." β
"I called you here today to tell you that my life has ended, and I have already sensed something that does not match my identity, so I called you here to arrange what happened after death. The old man put his hand on the rattan chair and tapped his fingers on the armrest of the rattan chair, "The older people get, the more scared they are, so after I pass away, I don't want to be cremated, and I don't want you to do a big job, you just need to bury me in the place I have picked in the Lijiang River cemetery, and you don't need to worry about the rest, and you can't worry about it, you just need to remember to give me a pillar of incense in the Qingming Festival in the future." β
"Dad......" The eldest son of the old man planned to comfort and comfort the old man, telling him not to think about this, and to live happily first, but before he could speak, he was stopped by the old man.
"You all have your own family business now, I am a teacher and reader, and materially it is a drizzle for any of you, so I have entrusted it to the state, and I will use the money I have saved to do some good things, and I won't say that you will know about it later. As for the spiritual one, I will leave that room of books, and if you want to keep a thought or something, you can take it yourself, but no more than three books per person, and I will donate the rest to the National Library. You don't have any opinions, do you?"
"Dad, of course we have no opinion, those are all your own things, you can deal with it as you want, we as children understand you. The old man's daughter was not young, and she was already very sad when she heard her father read her last words.
"I'm tired and want to rest, you can be quiet, don't ......" The old man nodded, then slowly leaned back on the rattan chair, slowly closed his eyes, and breathed slowly and gently......
The juniors around seemed to feel something, and slowly slowed down their breathing, holding the children in their arms, not letting them look at them, and then quietly looking at the old man.
The room was very quiet, only an unknown guzheng song flowed gently, flowing through everyone's heart, bringing out everyone's tears, but also flowing through the old man's heart, taking away the old man's breathing. Quietly, quietly, everything quietly......
The next day, the State News Agency published a report, "Yesterday, the 99-year-old scholar Wang Qingming passed away peacefully in the company of his relatives, and today the Ministry of Culture issued a document to establish a new welfare system for the scholar group by the Ministry of Culture and Mr. Wang Qingming.

Wang Qingming's life was devoted to cultural studies......"
On the morning of the same day, under the attention of the people of the whole country, the coffin of the old man Wang Qingming slowly entered the cemetery that the old man had already selected, and the old man, who was called the living fossil of the new century, left under the gaze of the people of the whole country.
Just when everyone was sad about the old man's departure, in the cemetery of the old man, who had been filled with loess, suddenly a white light rose up in front of everyone, like a meteor rushing into the sky.
So, that afternoon, sects from all over the world sprung up, and with the help of this miraculous scene that happened in front of everyone, they propagated their religious ideas, declaring that Mr. Wang Qingming had completed his merits and was Allah...... by the Jade Emperor/Buddha/God/ Picked up ......
