Chapter 12 Xiao Di

In the lounge where the sun sets softly, my little brother often hides in a corner, his eyes glued to his phone. His little hands slid busily across the screen, like a conductor controlling his own symphony. Although his movements are no different from the others, he always seems to be able to detect things that shock us one step ahead of others in that miniature electronic world.

He's not obsessed with a single program or game, his interests are broad and fickle, as if chasing something we can't capture. This spirit of exploration has allowed him to show amazing creativity and an innate unique way of thinking.

I looked at him and was amazed at the leap and agility of his mind. Sometimes I would go over and try to understand his world. "Did you find anything new?" I asked curiously. He would raise those bright eyes, smile and say to me, "You would never have thought of it." In this way, we were brought into that world full of unknowns and surprises by him again and again.

An idea came to my brother's mind that we thought was very novel at the time. He decided to show his video game world to everyone, to be a facilitator and help those who were lost or struggling with the game. He began to record interesting moments in his game life, sharing his joys, sorrows, and sorrows, so that more people could see his real side through the screen.

His heart is full of anticipation and eagerness, hoping that his story and his thoughts can resonate and let more people see him and understand him. Whenever he shares something that gets enthusiastic feedback, his eyes sparkle with success.

I remember that moment when he sat in front of the computer, his fingers jumping lightly on the keyboard, his eyes bright and determined. I understand that since then, his world has ceased to be confined to this tiny room in front of us, and his stage has expanded to the boundless cyber sky. I said to him, "Look, that's your stage, that big sky.

Every day, my brother immerses himself in a series of explainer videos to improve his game skills and language skills. I often see his focused figure, and the intoxication makes me think that maybe this is his true home, just as the fallen leaves return to the earth, and he has found his own home.

He is constantly researching how to upload his live game to the Internet and share it with more people. He is also always trying to create his own way of teaching the difficult parts of the game. He has a flexible mind and is always full of fresh ideas to put his ideas into practice.

It was in this day-to-day effort that his online identity Xiaodi came into being. I looked at him in front of the screen, and my heart was full of admiration, he was like a butterfly in search of truth, never stopping. At that moment, I understood that he had found his own stage, which was his world, where he belonged.

At that time, he was just a child who had just entered the fourth grade. However, while those peers were still enjoying a carefree childhood, he had gone far ahead of them. I looked at him and marveled at his adult-like determination and pursuit.

He has a good group of friends who play together, laugh together, and spend those carefree times together. But only he, only he was like a lone ranger in that group of friends, going to a path of his own choosing, bravely exploring an unknown territory.

His eyes are full of curiosity and enthusiasm, as if he is full of desire to explore anything new. Looking at his back, I deeply felt that this child would go farther than all of us.
