Beijing's dazzling night sky gradually envelops the vast land, and the lights of thousands of homes shine brightly in the night. At this moment, Pang Zhongwang stood in front of his spacious and bright floor-to-ceiling windows, his eyes affectionately scanning the night scene of the city in front of him, which was both familiar and full of mystery.
As a senior executive of a world-renowned company, he has already lived a successful life that countless people dream of, with his wife and children by his side, and a harmonious and happy family. However, deep down, he has never been able to get rid of the deep longing for his mother.
When he turned around and looked at the precious photo walls on the walls of the living room, those frozen moments seemed to show every moment he spent with his mother again. Pang Zhongwang unconsciously stretched out his hands and gently stroked his mother's cheeks, as if he wanted to retain that warmth.
Although his mother has been dead for many years, he is always caught up in endless memories when night falls. Mother's expectations, mother's advice, mother's death...... These memories are like a rich and colorful picture, deeply imprinted in the course of his life, indelible.
Pang Zhongwang was born in an obscure poor village in Hebei Province. His father, who suffered from a severe congenital mental illness, was in a state of delirium for a long time, sometimes agitated, sometimes sluggish. In order to protect his family from harm, the whole family had no choice but to lock him in a small room at home. His mother, on the other hand, had undergone amputation due to the disability of both legs, which made her extremely unable to take care of herself in her daily life.
In this humble hut, Pang Zhongwang became the only healthy child in the family. From an early age, heavy housework and the responsibility of caring for his parents weighed on his thin shoulders. He had to get up at five o'clock every morning to prepare a hearty breakfast for the whole family and take care of household chores.
When the sun rises, the six- or seven-year-old can step through the doors of the school and begin his school career. After school, he always has to check that his parents need to be cared for before committing to voluntary sanitation work in the local area to earn his own tuition and living expenses.
For a child of this age, the pressure he is under is undoubtedly enormous. However, Pang Zhongwang never complained about this, but put all his energy into his studies, worked hard silently, and worked hard.
Compared to struggling to survive in an environment where the family is not well-off, the path to the sea of knowledge is like the only beacon that leads to a bright future.
Pang Zhongwang, who was new to the world, did not have a persistent pursuit of stepping into the campus, and always felt that since he was born between such a world and earth, it was better to stay at home and lend a helping hand to reduce the heavy burden of farming on his parents. Until one day, he accidentally witnessed the magnificent picture of the modern bustling city on the TV screen, and the dazzling images deeply shocked his soul and awakened the endless thirst for knowledge in his heart.
Since that moment, the trajectory of Pang Zhongwang's life has changed dramatically.
He began to devote himself to the sea of books, and with his otherworldly intellectual endowment and diligent learning attitude, he quickly rose to the top of his grade. The teachers were all impressed by this poor but enthusiastic rural boy, and they gave him great attention and high hopes.
This news was like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, making the Pang family's predicament even worse. In order to raise the high cost of the operation, Pang Zhongwang's mother had to run around and endure humiliation to borrow money from fellow villagers.
She has repeatedly knelt in front of everyone and begged for help, even when she was rejected in person. In this way, Pang Zhongwang regained the turn of fate, but his family was burdened with heavy debt pressure.
Since then, Pang Zhongwang has worked harder, and he has given it his all every day with extreme lack of sleep. At five o'clock in the morning, he prepared a hearty breakfast for the whole family, and then immediately set out on the road to study.
After school, he devoted himself to voluntary sanitation work to earn his tuition and living needs. For a child at this age, the responsibilities he bears are simply too daunting.
However, Pang Zhongwang never complained, but poured all his energy into his studies.
In this way, with the firm support of his family and the selfless help of his teachers, Pang Zhongwang achieved an impressive score of 744 points in the college entrance examination when he graduated from high school, beating the crowd and was successfully admitted to Tsinghua University.
The mother wept with joy and hugged her son tightly with tears in her eyes, muttering repeatedly the words "Great, we finally got through it".
However, just as Pang Zhongwang stepped into the ideal university with great longing, a sudden bad news was as deafening as thunder, ruthlessly tearing apart the joy he had just ignited. The news came from his hometown in Hebei that his mother was seriously ill and dying.
After a long and arduous journey, Pang Zhongwang galloped home like an arrow, which was once the small farm yard full of laughter and warmth. He pushed open the door of the house, and what caught his eye was his mother's thin and fragile face that had been through the vicissitudes of time. The disease devoured her life mercilessly, and she lay quietly on the simple wooden bed made of bricks, as if she would leave them at any moment.
The room was filled with the smell of stale objects and the damp, gloomy air, and the only source of light was the dim old-fashioned kerosene lamp by the door.
"Kid...... Mom can't move on anymore......" Mother said this sentence with difficulty in a hoarse voice, and tears instantly welled up in Pang Zhongwang's eyes. He groped in the darkness until he finally found his mother's palm, which he held tightly with his large, warm and firm hand.
On that heartbreaking parting night, mother and son reminisced about the past together. Pang Zhongwang recalled those cold and biting winters, and his mother always worked hard to weave bamboo baskets, hoping to contribute to this poor family.
However, he never confessed to his mother that the heavy knitting work actually did little to improve the family's financial situation, and it was the tutoring fees he received from the parents of distant classmates that really supported the whole family's life.
"No, my mother would be sad if she knew...... I'm going to tell her slowly. At that ignorant age, Pang Zhongwang thought so. Looking back now, he deeply regretted his decision.
Time flew by like flowing water, and the flame of my mother's life gradually extinguished that night.
The mother seemed to hear her son's vows in a coma, and a serene smile finally appeared on her face for the first time in years. She opened her heavy eyelids with all her might, pointed feebly to the moonlit treetops outside the window, and whispered, "Behold, it is a band of elves named Night Escape, who can hear your promises, and remember them forever......" However, before the mother's words could be finished, she closed her eyes forever.
After the death of his mother, Pang Zhongwang fell into endless grief and self-blame, and even had thoughts of self-destruction. For countless nights, he was haunted by his mother's dying words, dreaming of a group of night elves named "Night Escape" laughing at him outside the window.
Pang Zhongwang was on the verge of giving up, but whenever he thought of his mother's ardent anticipation and unyielding support, he always did not hesitate to pick himself up and bravely face the low points in his life.
Since he had made a solemn promise to his mother, he must not go back on it. This is the most basic respect for mothers. With this firm belief, Pang Zhongwang once again ignited the passion for moving forward.
The death of his mother gave Pang Zhongwang new vitality. In order to fulfill his promise to his mother, he devoted himself to his studies, working day and night. In just two years, he completed a university course that would take ordinary people four years to complete, and he has won praise and awards from many teachers.
Pang Zhongwang's thirst for knowledge has far exceeded the standard of the average college student. Not only did he study hard in the classroom, but he also extended his learning tentacles to the extracurricular field. Whether it is literature, art, science, philosophy, or even sports, he has mastered them and achieved remarkable results.
It is worth mentioning that Pang Zhongwang is also actively involved in the activities of various clubs and student organizations. At first, he just used these as a form of entertainment after school, and did not dabble in it too much. However, it didn't take long for him to realize that these activities had opened up new horizons, broadened his mind and increased his knowledge. So, he went all out, starting from scratch and eventually turning his hobby into a professional skill.
Whenever a major competition comes, Pang Zhongwang can always stand out and win honor for his alma mater with his profound theoretical foundation and rich practical experience. Even when he encountered occasional setbacks, he was never discouraged, but gritted his teeth and persevered, moving forward bravely.
In this way, with the appreciation of his peers and the attention of teachers, Pang Zhongwang gradually grew into a bright new star on the campus of Tsinghua University.
However, it wasn't always smooth sailing along the way. Sometimes he also faces difficulties and frustrations. The most painful time was in a national scientific research competition, despite his great efforts, he missed the championship due to a slight mistake.
At that time, he was so depressed that he even had the idea of giving up everything.
Fortunately, whenever Pang Zhongwang fell into a low point in his life, his mother's earnest teachings would always reverberate in his mind again, like a powerful spiritual power, giving him endless power! Taking this opportunity, Pang Zhongwang can always quickly cheer up his spirits and bravely knock on the door of the road to the unknown challenge. In this way, he climbed up step by step, and finally succeeded in obtaining a doctorate and achieving brilliant academic achievements.
After graduating, with his outstanding personal talent and deep professional knowledge, Pang Zhongwang joined a well-known and well-known company as he wished. When he first entered the workplace, he was still that inconspicuous ordinary employee. However, it was not long before he quickly rose to prominence and became the core backbone of the company with his brilliant mind and hard-working attitude.
