In pursuit of dreams, we must not wait.
Soon after a little girl learned to walk, her parents were "sent down" to Xinjiang, and since then there has been no news.
The single grandfather came from afar and relied on the little girl for his life.
Grandpa had a special love for orchids, and when the little girl was born, he sent a pot of lush orchids and named her "Little Orchid".
Xiaolan grew up day by day in a family where her parents were absent.
Grandpa said that the orchid is a gentleman in the flower, which means the high integrity of being a person. Therefore, Xiao Lan has been strictly disciplined since then.
Every month, Grandpa would receive a letter on time, written by Xiaolan's parents, and the words were full of care and love.
At school, the teacher asked Xiaolan, what is your ideal?
Xiao Lan also didn't understand.
One day, the neighbor Xiao cui took her to the performance, it was a gymnastics simulation training, the athlete's graceful posture, beautiful movements, she was amazed.
XiaoLan felt that this was his ideal.
She went back and said to her grandfather, I want to be a gymnast. She also set a benchmark for herself - jiang shaoyi, the national gymnastics champion, who is also surnamed Jiang, as if it was arranged by heaven in the dark. Grandpa said that practicing every day, it would take a lot of suffering.
Xiao Lan looked up at her small face and said I wasn't afraid.
With the efforts of Xiao Cui and grandpa, Xiao Lan finally entered the gymnastics training class. The coach was stern, almost indifferent, and it was hard to hear. She could only grit her teeth and insist.
Grandpa said that the path he chose, kneeling, he would also finish it.
On holidays, Grandpa also wants her to get up early to practice, as long as the movement is not in place, the ring ruler in his hand will be mercilessly called.
Sometimes, she would practice with tears in her eyes, practicing a movement to the point of invulnerability.

Honor the elderly, and never wait.
Xiaolan in his youth, with a graceful figure. A stop there, the pavilion is beautiful, chuchu moving; a smile, a thousand charming.
The literary master Gogol said that youth is happy because it has a future.
Xiao Lan warned herself in her heart that she must work hard, practice a famous hall, and earn money in the future to let her grandfather live a good life.
After Xiaolan became literate, she took over the workflow of the letter.
Grandpa would always sit in a wicker chair, squinting his eyes and "listening" with enjoyment.
Grandpa said that you should not only play well and practice, but also do a good job in studying, so that you will have a good future. You have come out, your father, your mother and me, your face will be very radiant.
Sometimes, Xiaolan feels that there are so many excellent people around her, and it is not an easy task to stand out.
Grandpa encouraged her to go forward bravely, and also read her Shakespeare's famous words: What is hopeless, bold attempts, often succeed.
Later, I first saw it before I understood my grandfather's good intentions.
Li Ka-shing said that where there is an ideal, hell is heaven.
Due to the lack of life, grandpa was ingenious, sewed her gymnastics clothes, and gave her high praise for her achievements.
Also on the roof, an award ceremony was held for her.
In an accident, Xiao Cui died. When such a living life was thrown into the incinerator, she shuddered.
The first time she was in contact with death, she was terrified, and she was afraid that one day her grandfather would suddenly leave her and leave her alone in the red dust.
In the dead of night, she sneaked over to her grandfather's bedside and reached out to probe his sniffles.
Since then, she has learned to cherish every minute and second of the moment, grandpa cooks and cooks, washes his face and beats his back, and completely changes his personality.
Mencius said that only filial piety to parents can relieve worries.
Xiao Lan found that if he was good to the old man, his heart would be particularly solid.

A good life must not wait.
One day, Xiaolan asked Grandpa, are you afraid of death?
Grandpa smiled and said, don't be afraid. When I die, I will be with your grandmother and uncle; how good it is to be with you when I am alive.
Grandpa's words often rang in Xiaolan's ears: "Good people are in heaven, bad people are underground."
"Helping people to do good deeds, not talking nonsense is a good person."
"I may see you in heaven later."
Xiao Lan was very scared, grandpa's waist was slowly slumped, white hair was getting more and more, it was more and more difficult to walk, and there would be a painful coughing sound at night.
Xiaolan began to "swap roles" with her grandfather. She tried to make grandpa happy, painted orchids on the wall, raised the ring ruler, and teased grandpa to eat fish.
Grandpa was in good spirits, and he wandered around the street and brought back a box and a letter saying that your parents had sent back the cantaloupe, sweet and crisp.
She cut the cantaloupe for the neighbors to taste.
Then, read a letter to Grandpa in the courtyard.
Grandpa was still enjoying himself. After listening to the letter, Grandpa said, you go to the horizontal bar to do a few movements, I want to see.
Xiaolan changed her clothes and began to play horizontal bars. A set of movements came down, and she heard a "yes."
When Xiaolan came down excitedly from the horizontal bar, she found that the grandfather in the rattan chair had died peacefully.
The villagers heard the news and rushed to help Xiaolan take care of his grandfather's affairs.
Before Grandpa was buried, Xiao Lan took one railway badge after another and pinned them to his chest seriously.
Back at home, Xiao Lan suddenly found that grandpa's favorite pot of orchids had withered at some point, and the originally small courtyard was suddenly cold and empty.
The next day, Xiaolan received a letter from her parents. The letter said they would be back soon. After so many years of conditions that did not allow it, I have not been able to communicate with my family, and I feel very guilty.
After reading the letter, she ran to the house, took out the pile of letters from the past, and suddenly understood everything.
It turned out that for so many years, it was grandpa who imitated his parents' pen style, wrote letters to himself again and again, for her healthy growth, the old man can be described as well-intentioned.
Xiao Lan once again paid tribute to her grandfather, and she secretly told herself that being a good person would be able to meet her grandfather in heaven in the future.
Yes, being a good person is a very happy thing in itself.
Live with peace of mind, live without complaint or regret, what could be better than this?
Lin Qingxuan said that happiness lives in the moment, and dedication is perfection.
May every day of our lives be happy and joyful, without regrets.
