Chapter 3: Beautiful Childhood Dreams
13. The taste of hometown
It's been six years! I'm back! Looking at the traffic in front of the station, looking at the unique blue sky of Harbin, and sucking in the familiar smell that permeates the air, I am full of emotion! That is the unique "Harbin taste", that is the taste of my hometown -- it is the taste of the fusion of Eastern and Western cultures, it is the taste of Harbin beer with the red sausage of Qiulin Company, it is the taste of the beetroot soup of the Russian feast with the fragrant "Da Lieba", and it is the taste of standing on the central street at minus twenty or thirty degrees, eating Matiel popsicles, ice cream, The smell of sugar gourd is the cool, sweet and fragrant smell of sitting in a warm house and nibbling on frozen pears while watching the goose feather snow fall outside the window, and it is a special and harmonious taste that permeates the air on Sun Island in summer, accompanied by the melodious accordion song......
The Modern Cold Drink Hall on the Central Street of Harbin
I was born in this beautiful city in the fifties of the last century, and I lived here for 16 years in kindergarten, primary and secondary school. In my memory, childhood was a happy time. Although the material life at that time was relatively poor, and even when our bodies needed nutrients the most, my mother needed to calculate the amount of food for each day and each meal to ensure that the food would not be cut off until the end of the month. At that time, everyone with many children had a scale, and they had to use the scale to accurately weigh the grain for cooking every day. There are three brothers in our family, and each of them wears only a few clothes throughout the year, and only during the Chinese New Year will my mother make us a new dress. I remember one year, on the morning of the first day of the Spring Festival and New Year, I had just put on a new dress and ran to the yard to play, when a firecracker flew out of nowhere, which landed on my right shoulder and exploded with a bang, blowing up my new clothes, and my face and neck were black. Frightened, I turned around and ran back to the house, crying and hugging my mother and saying, "The new clothes are torn, the new clothes are torn!" My mother immediately pulled me over, gently wiped my face with a towel, and then laughed: "It's good that your face is fine, you are blessed!"
Children always have a lot of fun, compared to today's children, although the space was limited and there were few toys, but the children were not less fun than today's children. They can always invent some "local games" according to local conditions, and they are basically the kind that do not cost money. At that time, I didn't have much of a burden to study, and I ran out to play after school after finishing my homework. For example: bouncing glass balls, rolling hoops, playing slingshots, slingshots, fan pia ji, bar leaf stalks, fly paper kites, play poker, play chess, ...... , and girls jumping rubber bands, jumping squares, and playing Kalaha...... In winter, I play with plows, snow skateers, ice pumps, build snowmen, have snowball fights, build snow caves, and skate...... There are free skating rinks everywhere, and no skates can't stop children's interest, many children are homemade skates and foot paddles, and they still have a good time. There are also a lot of fun things in the Songhua River in winter, such as riding the big ice climbing plow, sitting on the sled, riding the ice sailing car, watching the ice lanterns, ice sculptures, and snow sculptures...... etc., I still remember it vividly.
After middle school, I played more "advanced" and "civilized". For example, the school organizes extracurricular scientific research groups, model aircraft groups, music groups, dance groups, art groups, and sports groups...... , everyone can participate in one or two. And these groups do not need to pay fees, these are the normal education scope of the school, and it is an important indicator to evaluate the education level of a school. I joined the model airplane group, which I found interesting and meaningful, and I was able to learn a lot of knowledge that I didn't have in class. What impressed me was that after I went to middle school, as soon as I entered the winter, the school gave each student a pair of skates, which were not as good as the current skates, many of the uppers were made of canvas, but the front and heel were leather, unlike now when the entire upper was leather or technical fabric, but the skates were the same. At that time, we were so elated that we proudly carried our school bags and skates to school every day, and skated on the ice rink after school. So, my middle school classmates all skated.
At that time, people's desires were not so high, and when I was a child, my parents often took us to the banks of the Songhua River and Sun Island for weekends, which was the happiest time. The Songhua River in summer is very beautiful, cross the river by yacht, and the north of the river is the famous Sun Island. At that time, Sun Island was pristine, completely natural, and there were families on the beach, wearing swimsuits and swimming trunks, spreading a large oilcloth (similar to the thick plastic sheeting now) on the beach, drinking beer, eating sausages and bread. More than half of the island's Caucasian population is predominantly Russian, and the air is filled with the smell of Westerners' perfumes, and the ears are filled with Chinese, Russian, English and other languages sandwiched together. Russians love to play the accordion, and every time someone comes with an accordion, and the bold Westerners often dance to the accordion on the beach. On the rippling river, a small boat gently floats on the water, a white cruise ship carries leisurely people to enjoy the scenery on both sides of the strait, occasionally a large passenger ship or a large cargo ship with a big smoke pipe, slowly and majestically sails through, the river will be flooded with waves, attracting bursts of laughter and laughter from people on the boat and on the beach. Every time I go to Songhua River to play, it is the happiest time for the children, bathing in the sun naked, running around on the beach, and making trouble. The adults drank beer, and we children drank sodas, bread and red sausages, and felt extremely happy. I still remember that picture very nostalgically.
I returned home with the admission letter from Beijing Institute of Physical Education, and it was a long-lost sense of happiness. My parents were naturally very happy that it was a great thing to be able to go to university in Beijing. But I can also see that my parents are happy and show obvious regret. They, like me, never dreamed that I would go to a "sports" university. I know very well what my parents expected of me, and that dream of being a diplomat of mine, which is heavier in their hearts than mine, has never been erased. I didn't tell them in detail the twists and turns in the process of being recommended to go to college in the Great Northern Wilderness, let alone tell them the twists and turns of being put into the cold palace by the "holy decree" of the company commander and "fished out" by the central documents after I was recommended to go to university. Of course, I didn't tell them that I met a teacher from Beijing University of Foreign Chinese and asked me to go to Beijing Foreign University. I don't want them to take more care of my heart. I said to them: "Sports will definitely be more and more valued by the state, and you can see that sports diplomacy has become an important part of the mainland's diplomatic work, so you can rest assured that after I arrive in Beijing, I will study hard and strive to realize my dream of becoming a diplomat in sports diplomacy in the future." Mom and Dad were very happy when they heard it. Those few days were the happiest days of my life with my parents. For the first time, I seem to be beginning to understand my parents a little, they have their hearts for most of their lives for their three sons and for this family, and how many ups and downs they have experienced!
At night, I lay on that familiar bed, with the faint smell of home in the air, falling asleep and returning to my childhood life.
14. Memories of the Children's Park
Childhood dreams are simple and intuitive. My house is very close to the children's park, and when I was three or four years old, the street set up a children's group, and my aunt often took us to the children's park hand in hand. Harbin Children's Park is famous for having the only children's train in the country. The park was established on June 1, 1956 and is located in the area enclosed by Dacheng Street, Hequ Street, Guogeli Street and Majiagou River in Nangang District, covering an area of 16.9 hectares. The children's railway surrounds the park and is 2 kilometers long. Today's data shows that over the past 60 years since the opening of the children's train, it has trained more than 20,000 young employees, and has received party and state leaders such as Liu Shaoqi and Chen Yi, as well as important domestic and foreign guests such as Prince Sihanouk, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Cambodia and his wife. It was a great pleasure to go to the children's park at that time.
My family lives on Sanshi Street, which is only a few hundred meters away from the east gate of the children's park, and the Moscow station of the small train is heard every day when you enter the east gate. This children's train is called "Young Pioneer", it is very beautiful, it is completely a real train, but it is one size smaller than a regular train, and the tracks are narrower. The small train has six or seven carriages, of which the first two are box-type with windows, and the latter carriages are similar to open-top carriages, only one grid is hung with window screens, and there is no glass, which is very beautiful. I like to sit in an open-top car, the wind blows, the curtains hit my face, and I see the trees and telephone poles on both sides of the car flashing by, and the feeling is very reverie. At that time, the locomotive was coal-burning, and it was necessary for a stoker (also a child) to use a shovel to add coal to the large furnace of the locomotive, and sometimes the little stoker could be seen with black soot on his face and a white towel around his neck, which was particularly beautiful at that time. Later, with the development, the children's train also changed and upgraded, from coal to oil, and from oil to electric. The appearance of the locomotive is constantly changing. But I still think that the earliest coal-burning locomotive, with a big chimney, and white smoke is the most beautiful and majestic.

The train goes around the outer wall of the children's park. There are two small railway stations in the east and west. The west gate is the main entrance of the park, and the station on that side is called Beijing Station, and the east side is called Moscow Station. Later, due to the deterioration of our relations with the USSR, the Moscow station was renamed the Harbin station. For a while, Prince Sihanouk of Cambodia often came to Harbin, so during that time he changed the name of Harbin Station to Phnom Penh Station.
In the 50s of the last century, Harbin Children's Park small train Beijing Station
But one thing has not changed, that is, the uniformed conductors, conductors, and drivers on the small trains are all served by children and teenagers. Later, it was only the small stoker that used to burn coal when the steam locomotive used to burn coal was gone, because no one had to use a shovel to add coal to the big furnace. The ticket inspectors, waiters, and stationmasters at the station are all staffed by children and teenagers. Of course, there is an adult to guide you.
At that time, I envied the staff on the small train the most, and dreamed of becoming one of them, the conductor, the conductor, the driver, even a stoker, who was responsible for filling the train with coal. Every time the little train starts, I look at the little conductors in uniform, standing at the door of each carriage to salute the Young Pioneers, and as the train leaves the station, accompanied by the sound of music leaving the station, the breeze blows their little uniforms and flutters gently, how beautiful! Especially the little driver, poking his head out of the window on the side of the front of the car, looking ahead, and sounding the whistle, is simply handsome! I thought to myself, if only I could drive this train. So, when I was a child, I often dreamed that I was a train driver, driving a long train across the field. The children's train carries many of my childhood dreams.

When I went to elementary school, my dream leveled up and I changed from a train driver to an airplane driver. Rose from the land to the sky. At that time, there was an airport in Harbin, just a few kilometers south of our house, which belonged to Xiangfang District. When the weather is nice, there are often planes in training, and there are often parachute jumps. It is the kind of "An-2" aircraft with two wings, which does not fly very high, and even the pilot's head wearing a hat can be seen. Nangang District, where my home is located, is higher than Xiangfang District, sitting at home from the window you can see the plane going back and forth, one by one parachutists jumping out of the belly of the plane, like a string of sugar gourds, and then, soon, like a colorful flower suddenly opened, slowly falling in the air. At that time, as long as there was airplane parachuting training, I would always like to lie on the window or stand in the yard and watch, while watching and counting how many planes there are today, how many people are parachuting, and how many colors of parachutes there are. Slowly, I became more and more interested in airplanes and skydivers, being able to tell which plane it was, and sometimes which one was jumped yesterday and which was new and not before. And I often wonder what the person flying the plane looks like? Is it a man or a woman? It must be a man. What did those skydivers look like? I heard that there were women among those skydivers, which is amazing! They gradually became idols in my heart, and I began to dream of flying airplanes and going to the sky when I grew up.
This dream lasted for many years, and my interest in airplanes continued unabated, so when I first entered junior high school, I joined the school's model airplane research group. Once, I did something a little crazy. It was during the school shutdown, and one day, on a whim, Ma Yongli, my best classmate, and Ma Yongli, rode bicycles from the foreign language school for several kilometers to the airport to watch the planes. But the airfield was much larger than expected, and after riding, the gate was not allowed to enter. At that time, the airfield fence was simple, it was barbed wire. We stood outside the barbed wire fence and looked in, and the planes on the runway were far away and small, and we couldn't see clearly. All you can see is a puff of white smoke rising from the ground as the plane lands. I thought we couldn't run for nothing, so we discussed it, so we put our bicycles on the side and found a place with a wide barbed wire fence to get into. Then run in the direction of the runway. It didn't seem to be far from the runway, and I didn't reach it for a long time, but when I looked up, I saw that it was still quite far, so I continued to run. Tired and sweaty, I finally ran closer and closer, and saw the plane getting bigger and bigger. Suddenly, the dust passed, and three people appeared out of nowhere and blocked us in front of us: "Stop!" "What are you doing?" "How did you get in?" I saw that they were all wearing the same overalls and holding shovels and other tools in their hands. The two of us were frightened, gasping for breath and not speaking for a long time. Later, we told the truth and said that we wanted to see airplanes, but for many years we only saw airplanes flying in the sky, and we never saw how big airplanes were. Seeing that we were only two thirteen or fourteen-year-old children, they did not embarrass us too much, educated us, and told us to stand still and not move, and after watching the plane's take-off and landing for a while, they sent us out. This incident left a deep impression on my boy's heart.
Actually, I've been a good kid and a good student since I was a kid, and I didn't do much crazy things like this. Influenced by my parents, I like to learn, my learning has never been worrying to my parents, and I have never felt that learning is difficult, as long as the teacher speaks once, I can understand. Writing homework is something I enjoy because I know that my homework is better than others, and the teacher will definitely praise me. When I was a child, I had a strong sense of vanity and loved to listen to praise. From elementary school to middle school, he was a good student all the way, and he was always a two-bar in elementary school, the squadron committee. Every year, they are five good students or outstanding students, and they have been rated as outstanding students at the district and municipal levels many times, and they have won awards every year. So from primary school to middle school, the teachers liked me very much, and I liked them too.
From elementary school to university, I will never forget my homeroom teacher. Up to now, I can easily say their names: the primary school homeroom teacher is Tan Xikui, a male teacher, who followed us until we graduated from primary school (many years later, I wrote to Harbin Dingxin Primary School to find Ms. Tan's contact information, but I never received a reply). When I was in junior high school, my homeroom teacher was Xia Zhongrong, a young female teacher who taught English, and she had high hopes for me and recommended me to apply for a foreign language school (many years later, I also wrote to Harbin No. 13 Middle School to find Ms. Xia, but there was no response). The head teacher in the foreign language school is named Wu Yunqing, who teaches politics, and the small class teacher is called Liu Shuying, who teaches English (they all got in touch later, and now they are all in a WeChat group). I also remember very well the homeroom teachers at the university: the homeroom teacher at Beijing Sports University was Mr. Liu Wenhua, and the homeroom teacher at Nankai University was Mr. Chen Zhiyuan, the son of Chen Tanqiu, one of the 12 deputies of the "First National Congress" of the Communist Party of China. The homeroom teacher at Renmin University is Ms. Li. The head teacher at the National School of Administration is Professor Xu Liming, the head teacher at the Central Party School is Teacher Cao Mingchan, and the head teacher at the Shanghai Foreign Language Institute is a beautiful teacher.
I will meet many people on the road of life, but most of them will gradually forget as time goes by, but I have never forgotten these homeroom teachers of mine, they have always inspired me and accompanied my growth.
15. The god of luck is coming
In junior high school, I was first admitted to Harbin No. 13 Middle School. It is a good school to focus on. From the first year of junior high school to the third year of high school, there are four classes in each grade, and there are only 24 classes in the whole school, with more than 40 people in each class. The conditions of the school are very good in all aspects, the campus is very large, and the school's track and field field is turned into an ice skating rink in the winter, and everyone can go skating after school every day.
The teachers in the thirteenth middle school are very strong. Among them was an old teacher who taught English, thin, tall, very gentlemanly, who had studied in England when he was young, and who had a high level of English and was a senior teacher. It is said that he was the deputy mayor of a city when he was in the puppet state of Manchukuo. I still remember his name, Xu Kuijiu, and his family is a neighbor of my family. He usually gives people the impression of being very majestic and arrogant. But for some reason he liked me very much, although he never came to my house, but when I was very young, he often let me go to his house to play, and every time he taught me some knowledge and simple English conversation. Later, when he heard that I was in the 13th middle school, he happily said to me, "Great, I'm going to put you in an English class, and we won't learn Russian." At that time, all secondary schools in Harbin learned Russian, and it just so happened that very few schools began to set up English classes that year, and the 13th Middle School may have set up an English class because of him, an authoritative English teacher.
I have only been in the thirteenth middle school for more than half a year in total, but the thirteenth middle school is a lucky place for me. For students who have just moved from elementary school to middle school, I feel that everything here is very new, and I feel like I have grown up a lot all of a sudden. I was fortunate to be a student at such a good school, and I was fortunate to meet a high-level English authority who made me one of the few students in the city who learned English. There are a group of good classmates of mine in the thirteenth, although I haven't seen them for decades, but I still remember the names of several classmates: Lu Jiazhi, Jiang Songqi, Yuan Bingjie, Wang Yuqin, ........ The most fortunate thing is that I also met a good homeroom teacher - a young and beautiful female teacher who had just graduated from Beijing Foreign Language College, and I heard that her husband was transferred from Beijing to Harbin because he was working. Her name is Xia Zhongrong, she is my god of luck, she sent me into a more fortunate door, and since then I have established the ideal of my youth, to be an excellent diplomat, and to make great achievements for the diplomatic career of the motherland.
I vividly remember that it was around 10 o'clock in the morning in winter, the weather was exceptionally good, the sun was shining, and all the students were doing radio gymnastics on the loudspeaker in the playground, which was the "prescribed action" every day. After doing radio gymnastics, as soon as the music stopped, I heard someone shouting at me, and I saw Teacher Xia running over while waving to me. She brought a notice, she said: "The principal's office will study and decide to send you to represent the students of the 13th middle school to participate in the entrance examination of Harbin Foreign Chinese School, you should prepare well and go to the exam in a few days." "I didn't understand it at the time, and I didn't realize that it could be a big thing that would change my life. On the contrary, I feel that if I am admitted, I will have to leave the 13th Middle School, and leave the campus I am familiar with and such good teachers and classmates, what a pity!
At that time, I didn't know anything about Harbin Foreign Language School, I just thought it was a bit mysterious, a little special, and different from other schools. When I went to the exam that day, I experienced the special features of this school for the first time, and it became the most memorable exam experience of my life. The foreign language school is located at No. 4 Yiman Street, Nangang District, across the road from the gate of the famous "Kazakhstan Military Industry". The school is a small two-story yellow building, and the campus is not very large. But as soon as I entered the building, I was startled by the red wooden floor under my feet, which was so bright that it could be used as a mirror, and the building was so clean that I hesitated for a moment before going up. A female teacher took me into a waiting room where several students were already waiting for the exam, and there were some picture books and books on the table. The teacher who brought me in sat next to me and chatted with me very casually, asking about the situation at home, school, and study, etc., and I felt very kind and comfortable. Later, I found out that I had actually entered the exam at that time, and I could see your personality traits, expression skills and other things that were not easy to see in the exam through chatting. After about 20 minutes, it was my turn to enter the exam room.
The examination room is a room as big as a classroom, and when I look up after entering the room, I am suddenly nervous and afraid to breathe. Behind a row of long tables sat five or six examiners, all of whom had a very learned and noble temperament, and in the middle was a very personable male teacher with glasses. Not far from the long table, there is a chair facing the examiners, which is for the candidates to sit on. The atmosphere is similar to that of interrogating prisoners in a movie. I'm sure whoever sees this stance will get nervous. But the tense atmosphere melted slowly and imperceptibly with the changes in the process and content of the exam, especially the guidance of the examiner. The content of the exam is not one-size-fits-all, but is tailored to the circumstances of different candidates. Candidates will be asked questions such as their aspirations to see if their answers are clear and their minds are responsive. I remember that during the exam, there was a sentence that the candidates repeated: "Communists are models of seeking truth from facts, and they are also models of foresight and wisdom", to see whether the candidates are articulate, whether the pronunciation is correct, and whether the flat tongue and the curly tongue can be clearly distinguished. The teacher also reads some letters, words, and phrases in multiple languages for the candidates to read along. Depending on the candidate's situation, those who have studied English will have a simple conversation in English, and those who have studied Russian will have a simple conversation in Russian. Then, you will be given a short essay in English or Russian for you to read aloud. Others asked candidates to show their strengths, such as singing a song, dancing a dance, reciting a small poem, and some had to walk a few steps on the spot. In the end, the candidates completely got out of the nervous mood, relaxed, and showed their strengths and talents.
It was the first time in my life that I took such a special exam, and after the exam, I felt very relaxed, and I was in a very happy mood, and I even felt a little reluctant to come out of that atmosphere. It also made me like the school a little bit. But I don't know if I can get in, and I feel that my test results should be good. But only 96 of the city's thousands of students were admitted, a small percentage. So I don't have much hope, and if I can't pass the exam, I'm still reluctant to go to the thirteenth middle school.
But luck really came to me, and I was admitted to the newly established Harbin Foreign Chinese School (also called Harbin No. 70 Middle School, which is said to be too conspicuous), becoming one of the 96 lucky winners.
I remember that it was early spring, and after the second class on a Saturday morning, Teacher Xia announced that tomorrow and Sunday, we would organize the whole class to visit the children's park. Everyone cheered happily. The next morning, the whole class happily brought the lunch prepared by the family to the children's park, led by Mr. Xia and Mr. Wang, who taught mathematics. Since I started middle school, I don't come to the children's park very often. On that day, everyone had a great time, riding a small train, riding a carousel, playing swings, and playing games. At noon, everyone put the lunch they brought together, tasted each other, and evaluated each other. At this time, Teacher Xia said to everyone, "Students, do you know why you brought you to the garden today?" Some said, "It's spring, let's relax and study hard". Teacher Xia looked at everyone and said, "Because I want to announce one thing, this is a good thing for our class and a great thing for our school." After a pause, she said, "Sun Daguang, a student in our class, was admitted to Harbin Foreign Chinese School. Harbin Foreign Chinese School is a key school for training diplomats for the country, and he is the only one in our school who has been admitted, which is the honor of our 13th middle school and the glory of our class. Today, in order to bid farewell to Sun Daguang, our class came here for a spring outing, which was also a farewell ceremony. ”
Everyone fell silent all of a sudden, and I felt very sudden. After a few seconds, everyone applauded, and then, out of the blue, they gathered around me to congratulate me. Many of my classmates showed reluctance, why were they about to leave all of a sudden? Are they really leaving us? My best classmate, Lu Jiazhi, also shed tears. I was touched by everyone's true feelings, and I didn't know what to say. After lunch, the students spontaneously organized a party, singing, dancing, playing games, playing handkerchiefs, and playing with whomever they threw into the show. Everyone deliberately threw more of them at my back to let me out of the show. I sang to everyone, I remember singing two songs, one is "Let's swing the sculls", and the other is my favorite "Exercise in the wind, test in the rain, we are a flock of petrel......s with wings spread high", now I only remember the lyrics, I don't remember the title of the song. In addition, a simple English poem was recited to everyone. Everyone also unanimously asked Teacher Xia to sing an English song to everyone, forgetting what song she was singing, only remembering that her bespectacled face flushed slightly when she sang. Now that I think about it, Ms. Xia at that time was a young female teacher in her 20s who had just graduated from college. I am very grateful to Mr. Xia and the students of Middle School 13!
On that day, Mr. Xia also specially arranged a program to give our whole family a big surprise, which made my parents and family feel glorious and unforgettable.
In the afternoon, everyone had a great time, and at about three o'clock, Mr. Xia announced that today's activity was over, and everyone could disband and go home. After saying goodbye to my classmates one by one, I reluctantly went home. When I got home, I told my parents about my admission to a foreign language school, and they were very happy. Dad said, today Sunday, stir-fry two good dishes, I want to drink two cups. Just as we were rejoicing, we heard the sound of gongs and drums beating in the distance. I ran to the gate of the courtyard and saw a group of people in the distance beating gongs and drums while walking this way, and there were many children running around to watch the excitement and see whose house they were going to. There are dozens of bungalows where our family lives, each with four families, and there are about 100 families in total. There is a little movement, and everyone will know about it soon. My house is a house on the innermost side of the house, with a big yard.
I watched the group of people coming from a distance and didn't care. However, looking at it, it felt a little wrong, as if it was someone very familiar, and they were coming this way...... Ah, I can see clearly, it turns out that they are all classmates in our class, two students in front of them are holding a big red paper in their hands, and the students in the back are beating gongs and drums, and they are walking towards our house! Teacher Xia walked at the end, followed by many children watching the excitement. I hurriedly called my parents and brother out. At this time, more than 10 students in our class, under the leadership of Mr. Xia, had come to the gate of my courtyard and beat gongs and drums for a while. Then, Teacher Xia came over and shook my parents' hands and said, "Good news to you! You have cultivated a good child, and it is the honor of your family and our school that Daguang can be admitted to a foreign language school." "That big red piece of paper turned out to be a piece of good news. Subsequently, a student read out the good news aloud, to the effect that the parents of the so-and-so classmate congratulate your child on being admitted to the Harbin Foreign Chinese School, which was specially established by the state to train high-level diplomatic talents. Thank you for your cultivation and education, and I hope you will continue to cooperate with the school and make greater contributions to the cultivation of talents in the country!
My parents kept saying happily, "Thank you, teacher, thank you for the school ......," and many neighbors applauded. I forget how Mr. Xia and the others left, but I remember that there were a lot of people at that time, and the street with the three surnames was as lively as a festival. This incident has been spread as a good story on the street of the three surnames.
This is a real life sitcom directed by Mr. Xia that my family and I will never forget and have influenced my whole life.
