The summer noon sun shone like golden liquid in the courtyard, and Ah Xing sat on a stone bench, holding a yellowed family tree in his hand, his brows furrowed. He looked at the incomplex family tree on the family tree, and an indescribable emotion swelled in his heart.
"Ah Xing, what are you looking at?" A crisp voice broke the silence, it was Ah Xing's cousin Xiao Ling. She holds a bunch of grapes that have just been picked from the trellis, the crystal clear grapes sparkling in the sun.
Ah Xing raised his head, and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes: "Xiaoling, do you know which family our surname originated from?"
Xiao Ling was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Well, I never thought about this." However, I remember my grandfather once said that our surname has a long history, and it seems to be related to some great family in ancient times. ”
When Ah Xing heard this, a glint flashed in his eyes: "Really, can you help me ask Grandpa?"
Xiao Ling nodded, turned around and ran towards the house. Ah Xing lowered his head again and continued to flip through the family tree, his heart full of anticipation.
After a while, Xiaoling came over with her grandfather. Grandpa was a gray-haired old man with traces of time carved on his face, but his eyes shone with wisdom.
"Ah Xing, are you interested in our family's surname?" Grandpa asked with a smile.
Ah Xing nodded and handed the family tree to his grandfather: "Grandpa, can you tell me which family our surname originates from?"
Grandpa took the family tree and flipped through it gently, the expression on his face gradually becoming solemn. After a long while, he slowly spoke: "Ah Xing, our surname does originate from an ancient family. That family was once glorious and produced many outstanding people. However, as time went by, the family gradually declined, and our branch ended up here. ”
Ah Xing was fascinated by what he heard, and he couldn't wait to ask, "Grandpa, can you elaborate on it?"
Grandpa sighed, as if caught in a memory: "That family is called 'Yun Mengze', and it is a family known for its wisdom and courage. Their ancestors were once great leaders who led their people to a glorious foundation. At that time, the name of 'Yunmengze' was known to everyone. ”
Ah Xing's heart was surging when he heard it, and he seemed to see the glorious history of that ancient family. He couldn't help but ask, "Then what happened later, why did 'Yun Mengze' decline?"
Grandpa sighed: "That's because of a sudden disaster. The disaster left the entire family in a difficult situation, and many people had to leave their homes. Our ancestors were one of them, and they fled their homeland with their family names and part of their family tree to end up here. ”
Ah Xing was silent for a moment, his heart was full of admiration and regret for that ancient family. He looked up at his grandfather, his eyes flashing with determination: "Grandpa, although 'Yunmengze' has declined, we must not forget our roots. I want to study hard and let the spirit of 'Yunmengze' continue to be passed on in our generation." ”
Grandpa listened to Ah Xing's words, and a gleam of relief flashed in his eyes: "Ah Xing, you are right. We must not forget our roots, nor can we forget the once glorious family. You have to study hard and become a productive person in the future and win glory for your family. ”
The summer noon sun is still shining, but Ah Xing's heart is full of hope and motivation. He knew that although 'Yun Mengze' had declined, their spirit would never disappear. He wants to pass on this spirit and let the family name shine with new light in the new era.
From that day on, Ah Xing studied even harder. Not only did he work hard in school, but he also used his spare time to study his family's history and culture. He hopes that through his own efforts, he can find more information about 'Yunmengze' and pass on the family's history.
Time passed like flowing water, and Ah Xing gradually grew up. He became an excellent scholar who not only achieved excellence in his field, but also earned honor for his family. Every time he stood on the podium, an inexplicable sense of pride would spring up in his heart, and he knew that this was the glory that belonged to 'Yun Mengze'.
However, Ah Xing didn't stop there. He knows that in order to truly inherit the spirit of 'Yunmengze', more people's efforts are needed. Therefore, he actively organized his people to participate in various cultural activities to let them know about the history and culture of the family. He also created a family website to record the family's stories and legends, so that more people can understand and inherit the spirit of 'Yunmengze'.
With Ah Xing's efforts, the spirit of 'Yunmengze' has gradually been inherited and carried forward. The clansmen began to value the traditions and culture of the family, and they helped each other and worked together for the prosperity of the family. Ah Xing looked at all this, and his heart was full of relief and pride.
The summer noon sun was still shining, and Ah Xing stood in the courtyard, looking at the family house under the blue sky and white clouds. He seemed to see the glorious history of that ancient family reappear in front of his eyes, and he also saw the future of the family become better with his own efforts. He knew that no matter how time passed, the spirit of 'Yun Mengze' would be passed on forever and become the eternal wealth of their family.
In this story, Ah Xing finds his roots and sense of belonging by learning about the origin of his surname and family history. Through his hard work to learn and inherit the family culture, he has made the spirit of 'Yunmengze' shine with new light in the new era. His story teaches us that no matter where we are or when we are, we must never forget our roots and our family traditions. Only by cherishing and inheriting these precious treasures can we go further on the road of life in the future.
