In 1979, I had just turned 20 years old, and I was in the prime of my youth. In that year, the army set off a wave of promotion and political food, and many soldiers regarded it as a special honor and a good way out for their careers. As an activist, I was also full of pride and ambition, and with the careful training and support of the company leaders, I successfully joined the ranks of the Communist Party of China.
As a new party member, I believe in the party's ideals and always keep in mind the purpose of serving the people. I have actively asked to be promoted to the army in the hope that I will be able to gain a broader platform and contribute my youth strength to the cause of national defense. After going through various assessments and screenings, I finally got the opportunity to be promoted to instructor.
At the last hurdle, a letter from the army dealt a severe blow to my grand ambitions and beautiful hopes. It turned out that before formally appointing me, it was customary for the army to ask my relatives about the situation. When I consulted my second aunt, she slandered and slandered me, a young apprentice, in every possible way, accusing me of being a misbehaving person, having serious problems in my thinking and morality, and strongly questioning my ability to be an instructor.
When the leaders of the unit heard this, they directly rejected my qualifications for promotion and shelved the ideals and expectations that I had been striving for for many years. Although I was extremely wronged and wronged, I had no way to defend and appeal, so I could only choke on my blood and cry secretly.
In retrospect, although my sister-in-law was still a poor woman back then, she had a lot of voice among her relatives. She must think that it will be difficult for me, a nephew, to turn over on the road of life for a while, not to mention her in-law as capital, I believe that I have no way out at the moment. So she began to criticize me with pleasure, telling me about prejudice and arbitrariness, which was in fact only the result of impulsiveness and jealousy, and did not think too much about the serious consequences of such remarks.
As the years go by, the situation changes dramatically. Today, I am in a senior position, prosperous in government, full of children and grandchildren, and living a carefree and happy life. On the other hand, the second aunt who slandered me back then, her children all did nothing, achieved nothing, and lived a shabby and decadent life. Although she is old, she has no children to love, and she is alone at home all day. Every time she thinks of her narrow and extreme remarks and arbitrary decisions many years ago, she is extremely annoyed and regretful, and tears are in her eyes.
As the saying goes, "once the sea was difficult to water, but Wushan is not a cloud". If there is anything we still resent about, it is to complain about those depressed years. But we should be glad that the ruthless but wise guidance of fate has allowed us to have higher and more lofty pursuits and ideals today.
Looking back on the episode that happened that year, I didn't have too much anger or revenge, but I understood the environment of that era and the situation of my second aunt. After all, the women of her era generally had a low level of education, and their vision and vision were naturally relatively narrow. I even thanked her for giving me the first tempering in my life, which made me realize that the sunny ideal road always has to go through a dark night, and suffering and tempering can truly temper people's will and quality.
After that episode, I put down my body and began my military career conscientiously and diligently. With my academic ability and persistent qualities, I finally won the appreciation of my superiors. Through my unremitting efforts and tenacious struggle, I finally got my wish, and successively held important leadership positions in the army at the company and regimental levels, and then was honorably transferred to the locality, and was re-elected to the leading positions at the county, department, and bureau level for more than 20 years, completely exceeding people's expectations and positioning for me many years ago.
Looking back, I am glad that I was able to achieve myself in the end, and I was not imprisoned and constrained by those narrow old stereotypes. Of course, I can't do without the understanding and support of my family and friends. Along the way, too much sweat and tears have been imprinted in this world, there are laughter and regrets, and the past is like smoke. I have no complaints, but I also hope that my family and friends can learn a lesson from this incident: do not be easy to disappoint a person, let alone judge easily; As long as you are tenacious and do not give up and work hard to move forward, you will definitely be able to get out of every predicament in life, and your own value and significance will naturally be fully displayed.
I have entered the age of sixtieth, and now I am retired at home, living at home, enjoying my children and grandchildren, and occasionally playing with my grandchildren, enjoying the joy of family. However, every festive season, I would write a letter to my children and grandchildren, telling them some anecdotes about my past and telling them not to repeat my past mistakes, but to be cautious and diligent in learning. Only in this way can we live up to the brilliant era and achieve our own career and ideals. Because I know that only by not forgetting the original can we sublimate ourselves and achieve extraordinary.
Whenever I mention this past, I always feel a lot of emotion and remember it vividly. Life is like a baptism again and again, if you lose, you will gain it, and if you fall, you will get back up. Although there are many obstacles and difficulties, as long as we have ideals and beliefs in our hearts, we will overcome all obstacles, carry them through, and move forward bravely. Once upon a time, I would also be in a trance and at a loss. But it was that training that made me realize the value of my ideals, and also made me see the road to my ideals.
Now that I have embarked on a new journey in life, I am much more relieved. The old thing has long since passed away with the wind, and it is only a small episode of memory. Although it occasionally comes to mind, bit by bit, it is precisely this ordeal that has made me who I am today. The magnificent life is nothing less than chicken feathers, and it is inevitable that there will be these episodes. As long as you stick to your original intention and overcome all difficulties, you can move forward bravely and let the situation change.
Life is like chess, and you can see the truth only by stopping. One step at a time, through thousands of mountains and rivers, you may eventually understand a new truth. I am now a fellow traveler and can see through the world as it is. The baptism of the years has allowed us to correct the confusion and prejudice of obsessiveness in the past, and also let us really understand how to treat people and things correctly. Those ideals that seemed unattainable yesterday can be realized gradually with hard work. If there is love in the sky, the sky is also old, and the right way in the world is the vicissitudes of life.
Let the old things be like smoke, and the past will be in smoke. Although I am now in my twilight years, I am still young in my heart, full of hope for the future, and hope to give my family and friends more inspiration and understanding in the limited time. As long as we uphold our kindness and face difficulties, life will show a different kind of wonderful.
Before I knew it, I had become an old man with a house full of children and grandchildren, with gorgeous hair and tattoos. But when I think about those difficult years in the past, I feel a sense of courage and strength that I have never seen before. That is the precious nourishment I have drawn from the denial and slander of my second aunt back then, and that is the resolute will that I have tempered in the tribulations of life.
If it hadn't been for that blow, I would have been living a mediocre life forever, unable to appreciate the meaning and value of life. It was that episode that made me understand that only by bravely facing the ups and downs of life and facing difficulties can I truly get a new life. Since then, I have made up my mind to fight for my ideals and never give up until I achieve a career.
Looking back, the reason why my second aunt judged me so much back then was largely because of her limited life and limited vision. As an ordinary rural woman, she has never received a good education and does not know much about the outside world, so she naturally cannot correctly judge the future development prospects of a young person. But it is precisely because of her words that I have so much motivation to work hard, to achieve my ideals, to prove myself.
For many years, I have gritted my teeth and adhered to my ideals and beliefs, and no matter what difficulties I encountered, I gritted my teeth and persevered. In this way, I moved forward on the road of life step by step, and finally improved a little in middle age. I was denied back then, but now I have become a leading cadre in a high position and highly praised.
Yes, if it weren't for the "criticism" of the second aunt back then, I'm afraid I wouldn't have achieved such an achievement today. Strange to say, fate is sometimes so bad. We were misunderstood, denied, and felt very aggrieved at that time, but it was the motivation to achieve real success in the end!
So I didn't hold a grudge against my second aunt, but I was glad that she had done that. It was because of her words that I started my life path of hard work. If I had risen to the top from the beginning, how would I have understood the meaning of hard work? It is because I have been underestimated and looked down upon that I will have the incomparable motivation to work hard, to achieve myself, and to make those who question me change their opinions.
Life is like this, full of countless twists and turns, which makes people confusing. But as long as you have good thoughts and stick to your original intention, you will definitely be able to overcome many difficulties and obstacles, and finally live a wonderful life. I am very glad that I did not give up on my dream in the most desperate time. Otherwise, I would have to live an ordinary life today.
Let us toast to the efforts and hard work we have worked toast to those who have questioned and denied us! It is their doubts that have made us successful today. If we had been favored by everyone from the beginning, I am afraid that it would be difficult for us to have the tenacity and courage to fight now. It is precisely because of these episodes and twists and turns in life that we can finally get through and show our true strength.
So, don't be afraid of life's tribulations, that is the opportunity to temper us. As long as you have dreams and are down-to-earth, you will one day be able to look far away and step into the pinnacle of life. Let's look forward to a bright future together!
