"I miss that place."
This is what Ouyang Yi said in his later years. He missed the island that destroyed his will and consumed his pride, and everyone did not know that "Ouyang" was a compound surname and enthusiastically called him "Lao Ou".
Ouyang Yi is a high-achieving student at Tsinghua University, once he was full of economy and talent, he was a talented man who returned from the Yang, and he had the lofty pride of an intellectual.
Their family is the kind of bookish family that talks and laughs and has a great sense of humor, and there is no white ding. At that time, Ouyang Yi had ideals, pride, and vigor.
At that time, Ouyang Yi, he looked down on Jiang Defu, and even felt that Jiang Defu was not worthy of being his brother-in-law, he said: "How did I become a couplet with such a person?"
Because Jiang Defu is a big old man with mud on his legs, and because Jiang Defu has no culture, he does not even understand that "Ouyang" is a compound surname, and he is called "Lao Ou". Jiang Defu, who eats Western food management waiters to ask for chopsticks, makes him even more disgusted.
In this way, the elegant and proud Ouyang Yi, because of his unobstructed mouth, was beaten into a rightist faction and was sent to the little Black Mountain Island as a coolie and reformed through labor.
Little Black Mountain Island is desolate, isolated, monotonous, and even fresh water has to be brought in from the outside, and the environment is extremely harsh. Moreover, Little Black Mountain Island is under the jurisdiction of Jiang Defu.
The so-called higher the climb, the more miserable the fall, how proud Ouyang Yi was before, and how humiliated he was after being sent down.
The best 16 years of his life, he spent in this isolated island where even fresh water had to be transported from outside, going to the sea, fishing, catching tides, carrying and labor reform; always subject to the supervision of others, without the dignity of human beings, without freedom of thought, walking like a walking dead. More importantly, he has to obey the command of the people he despises the most, and he also responds with a smile to the "old Ou" of others.
He preferred to reacquaint himself with the people of the island in his new identity, because his past knowledge and experience were a disgrace to him at that time.
Since life is so miserable, since the heart is so depressed, since everything is so unsatisfactory. Why did Ouyang Yi in his later years miss that island? Shouldn't it be avoided so as not to evoke your own sad memories?
8 years later, watching "Parental Love" again, I found that Ouyang Yi was sent to the island as a coolie for 16 years, suffered humiliation, but in his later years he missed the hidden feelings behind the island.
An Xin's dead heart fell to follow
Like Ouyang Yi, An Xin was of noble and elegant origin.
Ouyang Yi, the proud son of heaven, is dashing and handsome, has good looks, literary talent, and family lineage.
The two of them stood together, a pair of heaven-made pairs, which was really enviable.
An Xin is elegant, intellectual, independent, thoughtful, cultured, and she has her own job. No need to add oil and vinegar, she brings her own light.
Ouyang Yi's mouth was unobstructed, and he was beaten to the right. A grain of dust of the times fell on an individual is a big mountain, Ouyang Yi's arm can not twist the thigh, he can only obey.
An Xin didn't know that Ouyang Yi's going meant endless suffering. She also knows that if she quits her job, she will lose financial support, and there will never be a job with such good conditions in the future.
And the children, who went to the island, just followed the suffering. She was entangled, frightened, uneasy, even afraid.
However, when her eldest brother asked her what she planned, she only said a fluttering sentence, "What can I do, go with him."
When Ouyang Yi was transferred back to Qingdao and An Xin went to the railway station to pick him up, Ouyang Yi hung up his dissatisfaction with Jiang Defu and his contempt.
At that time, An Xin had reminded him and asked him to speak politely: You have to get out of your mouth, right? You can't control your mouth, there is a day when you suffer losses.
Sure enough, the curse really came out of Ouyang Yi's mouth.
At that time, she must have complained in her heart, if it were not for Ouyang Yi not listening to her advice and unable to control her mouth, they would not have suffered such a calamity.
However, Ouyang Yi is her husband. Now that this was the case, she would not say a word of complaint to him, nor would she say it to her family.
Her sentence "What can I do, go with him" sounds light and breezy, but in fact it implies An Xin's turbulent heart. It's not really light and fluttering, it's a thousand times heavier than a thousand pounds.
It's just that she hid everything in her own heart and didn't say anything. Because she is defending Ouyang Yi's pride as a husband, that elegance, that spirit, and Ouyang Yi's dignity as a man.
On the island, Anxin's job was to press noodles, from an elegant capitalist lady to a gray-headed working woman.
The hardships of life, the hardships of struggle, the helpless thoughts. The torrent of years swept away An Xin's youth and Swept away An Xin's youth, and the speed of rolling away was tens of thousands of times faster than ordinary people. All that remains is a scarred shell and a heart of vicissitudes that have been deeply imprinted by time.
When Jiang Dehua went to pick up An Xin to take care of An Jiesheng's twin confinement, a straight-talking Andy Hua said: "His aunt, my mother, why have you become like this?"
From here, it can be seen that life has tormented An Xin to a thousand holes, unlike Anjie, who has no pressure of life, lives a moist life, and his face is glowing.
Even so, An Xin had never complained for half a sentence, nor had he ever been angry with Ouyang Yi. She followed him without complaint or regret.
On the island, An Xin is Ouyang Yi's only confidence, and there is a pure land in Ouyang Yi's heart, where he hides the last bit of pride and self-respect that remains. An Xin was the pure land in Ouyang Yi's heart.
On the island, Ouyang Yi not only found the pure land in his heart, but he also harvested An Xin's true treatment, dead heart and unswerving to death.
He witnessed the most sincere love. Ignoring the opposition of her family, his wife An Xin resolutely quit her job in Qingdao and accompanied him to this small island, where a capitalist big lady and intellectual did the work of pressing noodles like an ordinary fisherman; no matter how hard it was, she had no regrets or complaints. With this woman with you, what do you want in this life?
In his later years, when he remembered this memory, it was filled with An Xin's unforgettable love for him. It certainly deserves his remembrance.
He re-acquainted himself with Jiang Defu and gained a confidant
Ouyang Yi is a proud son of heaven, dashing and handsome, talented, literate, family lineage, once the pride of the An family, but also the idol worshipped by the little sister-in-law Anjie, who regards him as the standard for finding objects in the future.
Therefore, when Anjie did not come to the train station to pick him up because he was married, he still married a big old man. He was even more dissatisfied with Jiang Defu, and how proud Anjie was, how dissatisfied he was with Jiang Defu.
In the restaurant where he feasted on Western food, Jiang Defu's "Old Ou" utterly aroused his contempt and disdain.
He was sent to the island of Little Black Mountain as a coolie, and he did not know that it was the jurisdiction of Gan Defu. How much he hated Jiang Defu in the past, how much he didn't want to see Jiang Defu now.
When Jiang Defu went to inspect, he accidentally saw Ouyang Yi, who was being reprimanded. He only knew that Ouyang Yi was on the island, within his jurisdiction.
After returning in the evening, he questioned Anjie and learned that it was not only Ouyang Yi, but Ouyang Yi who had dragged his family to the island.
Jiang Defu said: You can't pay attention to the influence of the six relatives without acknowledging it, and your sister An Xin is not a rightist, so why do you want to draw a clear line with her? Our party's policy is to seek truth from facts, the hat can be buttoned, and relatives still have to recognize it. I am not afraid of such relatives, tomorrow, you will follow the duty boat to the island of Little Black Mountain to see your sister.
Anjie came, but Ouyang Yi didn't want to see her. He would rather be a stranger himself, a stranger named "Old Ou", and re-acquaint himself with the people of the island, rather than have any connection with people and things in the past.
Because in that environment, his past knowledge and identity were a disgrace. Jiang Defu was even more so, he felt that Jiang Defu would definitely fall into the well and make fun of him. Seeing Anjie is like seeing Jiang Defu, he will never go to people's homes by himself and make people laugh.
Man, the more proud he was, the more self-respect he became when he fell. The money that Anjie quietly left behind was kindness, help, and help. And Anjie did not give it to their faces, but also to save their face. But Ouyang Yi still felt that it was humiliating him.
How much he used to dislike Jiang Defu, now he felt that Jiang Defu made fun of him.
When An Xin went to take care of An Jiesheng's twin confinement, An Jie and Teacher Ge joked that An Xin was a nanny, and the two sisters had a big fight.
After that, An Xin went back.
Jiang Defu is a person of great affection, in order to thank An Xin for taking care of Anjie confinement, but also to apologize for Anjie's "nanny" joke, and for the real needs of the island, he made An Xin and Ouyang Yi become teachers on the island.
Ouyang Yi began to discover that Jiang Defu was not trying to laugh at him, and he began to accept Jiang Defu's help.
Ouyang Yi was rehabilitated, and the family of four went to Jiang Defu's house to resign.
Anjie said to them:
"Two days ago, Jiang Defu also told me that this old Ou should also take off his hat, and he didn't expect to take it off."
These words were Hints from Jiang Defu to Anjie, and it was he who maneuvered through them to get Ouyang Yi's first rehabilitation.
Ouyang Yi also knew, so he replied to Anjie like this:
"Thank you for the blessings of Commander Jiang."
This time, he was finally willing to see Jiang Defu. He wanted to personally express his gratitude to Jiang Defu. Because he knew that Jiang Defu was sincere in his treatment of him, he was very sincere, and he did not have the slightest intention of falling into the well.
The moment he met Jiang Defu, he sincerely said: Thank you, thank you, thank the party, thank Chairman Mao for giving me a second life.
He shook hands with Jiang Defu with both hands, reflecting his sincerity in the details of his body movements. He said thank you to the party, thank you to Chairman Mao, he actually wanted to thank Jiang Defu, thank Jiang Defu for his help, thank Jiang Defu for sending charcoal in the snow.
He tasted Jiang Defu's true feelings. This illiterate man, whom he once despised, took political risks and had been secretly helping each other. At the beginning, what he despised was the most sincere to him, but what he looked up to was the cool and thin people!
On the island, you are initially discriminated against by others, and later by the respect of others
When Anjie and sister Anxin talked, they mentioned the romance of being a teacher. Anxin said she envied Anjie for being a teacher.
There is indeed a shortage of teachers on the island, people with a little culture have gone to teach, Ge Meixia is the daughter of a fisherman, and the composition is also very high, isn't she also a teacher?
Therefore, Jiang Defu threw himself into his favor and secretly helped each other, so that Both An Xin and Ouyang Yi became teachers.
An Xin is not only not a rightist, but also has a high level of knowledge, but he just doesn't have a chance.
Ouyang Yi and An Xin became teachers on the island, and they were people who made the best use of their talents and used good knives on the blades.
Their becoming teachers was confirmed by the welcome banners drawn by the villagers of the island when they returned in their later years.
Their knowledge is very deep, their knowledge is very high, let them be coolies, let them teach but not to mention.
It is precisely because they really have real talents and practical learning, teaching and educating people are very useful, so everyone began to respect them, take care of them, and even protect them.
Although Ouyang Yi's previous status as a high-achieving student at Tsinghua University was also respected, it was more of an expectation for his future ideals, his future can be expected, focusing on the future, and the present is just a joke.
When he first arrived on the island, everyone discriminated against him and made him angry. Later, he respected and loved him. With the contrast, that respect becomes more and more sincere and hard-won.
The respect earned by being a teacher is real, visible, and present. It is not an illusory, invisible future.
On the island, since he became a teacher, he has been respected like never before in his life, enjoyed a special honor that he has never enjoyed before, and received wholehearted respect from everyone.
Ouyang Yi's lifelong glory and brilliance came from the island, and it was the fishermen on the island who took in his vicissitudes, let his homeless heart belong, and also gave him a moment of peace. Although 16 years is only a long period of his life, this period alone contains all the sincerity and supreme glory of his life.
When he returned to the island again in his later years, everyone cheered and beat gongs and drums to greet him at the dock, which should be the most gratifying moment in Ouyang Yi's life.
There is the most sincere love on the island, the true feeling of secretly helping each other at the risk of political risks, and the respect he has received all his life. He misses the island, which is naturally a beautiful environment, blue sky and white clouds, and simple and moral fishermen. The discrimination suffered in the early stage has been covered by the protection and love of the later stage.
May all the people in the world receive what they want, all they encounter, all they want, all they want, and all they expect. Despite the difficult process, I only hope that the results will be as desired.
