This story is fictional, and if there are similarities, it is purely coincidental!
Many people will make a wish to "step on the villain" or "stay away from the villain" every New Year's holiday, and when I was young, I just thought it was a fun Xi.
But it wasn't until later that I suddenly realized that this sentence might not only be a joke, but also a person's ruined life. Unfortunately, I was the one whose life was ruined.

For as long as I can remember, my family was relatively poor in the village, because my father did not have many brothers and sisters, so his family was always bullied.
So when it came to my generation, my parents firmly stated that they must have more children and take care of each other.

So, I was the second oldest in the family, and in addition to one older sister, there were six younger siblings below me, and indeed as my father thought, our family had always been very lively.
It's a pity that in an already poor family, the more children there are, the heavier the burden on the family, so our family often eats this meal without a meal, and we grow up hungry and full.

Although the family was very poor, our parents did not deliberately let us not go to school, but my father said that the children should go to school well, so that they could not only change their own destiny, but also do something useful for the family and even the country.
Since I am the second child in the family and a boy, my parents have always had great expectations for me, and I have always lived up to expectations and have always been at the forefront of the school. My parents are also very reassuring to me, and often talk to me that when I am admitted to university and work, I will be able to help my younger siblings.

That's what I thought the same way, so I always worked so my Xi that I almost couldn't hear anything outside the window. But in the village, it's not like we can live in peace without caring about anything.
Since I went to high school, there has been a lot of gossip in the village for some reason, from the style of my parents to the various discussions of my younger siblings.

After another gossip spread to my young sister, I finally got into a big fight with the rumor-spreading aunts, and I almost started to do it.
It was then that I learned that it was because my neighbor's son Li Yuguo was about the same class as me, but unfortunately he didn't have the heart to study Xi seriously, so he dropped out of school early and lay at home all day doing nothing.

Maybe it was because I was in high school and my grades were good, so my neighbors began to spread some rumors in the village.
After learning about this, my father and I went to the neighbor's house together and had a big quarrel with the neighbor Li Fuquan's family, and the relationship between the two families was completely ossified.

In 1966, the college entrance examination was cancelled, and I happened to be one of the students who were canceled.
In the face of this sudden change, my parents were naturally the most sad, but we had no choice but to accept this fate, I gave up my studies and helped my parents do some farm work at home, and took care of my younger siblings by the way.

After two years as a farmer, my life finally took a turn for the better. In that year, the mainland began to recruit again, and many people who had come from that era knew that being a soldier was also a good way out for peasants like us, so after I couldn't see a way out to study Xi, I joined the conscription without hesitation.

Although there were a lot of conscripts that year, because there were more conscripts this year, I still successfully entered the army after a series of physical examinations, political examinations and home visits.
I joined the army with my neighbor's son, Li Yuguo, but because of my good education, the two of us were not separated, and I was told that because my culture and knowledge were not bad, and I did not go to university for special reasons, even if I did not have a college degree, I could hope to be promoted.

This sentence ignited my hope, so I always took orders seriously in the army, and I was extremely serious in training, and for this, my squad leader also admired me very much, and often reminded me of small things.
In my second year in the army, I quickly became a deputy squad leader, and then slowly became a squad leader, and even acted as a platoon leader for a while.

Since my performance has always been very good, so the army also plans to promote me to platoon commander, and since then I can be promoted all the way, I am still a little nervous when I hear this news, but the old squad leader who took me at the beginning said that I can almost be said to be sure this time, and the quota has come down.
At this time, I put my mind at ease, but Tigan needs to send a letter to our production team to learn about the family environment and personality again, but because when I enlisted in the army before, the political examination that should have been passed has been passed, and I also know my family, so it can be said that there is no other problem except for being poor.

However, what I didn't expect was that it was such a process that I thought was extremely simple, but it ruined my future.
It turned out that the neighbor's son Li Yuguo did not perform well in the army, so after two years as a soldier, he retired early, although since enlistment, the two of us have almost never met, but he knows that I mixed well in the army, plus the conflict a few years ago, since then his family began to hate my family.

In his usual work, he deliberately picked on my family's thorns, and deliberately said a lot of bad things about my family and myself when the army came to the political trial, and even exaggerated the previous contradiction, saying that I deliberately bullied others and smashed their family.

And the reason why I was not promoted was because I did not pass the political trial, and this matter spread quickly in the army, although I was not very popular in the army, but in the face of such news, it is inevitable that many people will speculate about some and not, and the gaze that looks at me is also quite complicated.
Although I knew that I could sit up straight, I was still under all kinds of blows, and finally I was sloppily discharged from the army and returned to my hometown to become a farmer again.

After returning to my hometown, due to the lack of morality done by my neighbors, our two families also completely broke off contact, and usually in the village can be as far away as possible, and later although the national college entrance examination was resumed again, I no longer have the heart to re-study the Xi exam, so I can only work peacefully at home farming or working.
Now, decades have passed, and we have long since left the village of the year and completely cut off contact with Li Yu's country, but whenever we think of our future, we still feel a little regretful and sad.
