1. The intersection of lofty ideals and choices
Yang Shuchun, an outstanding graduate of Peking University majoring in Spanish, was expected to go to Spain for a one-year academic study with his outstanding academic strength and the precious opportunity to study abroad on public assignment, and then successfully stepped into the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, realizing the dream he had set since childhood.
Being a diplomat is not only a deep imprint of his childhood dream, but also carries the high expectations that his parents placed on him.
Therefore, during the school study stage, Yang Shuchun always adhered to the attitude of diligence and hard work, and firmly moved towards the established goal. It wasn't until his junior year that he finally passed the strict screening of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and won the honor of studying in Spain.
With full of enthusiasm, Yang Shuchun bid farewell to his parents and embarked on the road to study in Spain.
During his time in Spain, as long as he continued to work hard, he could devote himself to diplomacy directly after his studies, just like other international students, and start a new chapter in his life.
However, the trajectory of fate is always full of uncertainties, and Yang Shuchun's concept of life has undergone a earth-shaking change at this moment.
During his study abroad, Yang Shuchun actively participated in work-study activities and worked part-time at a newspaper. Unexpectedly, the owner of this newspaper turned out to be a compatriot. They quickly developed a strong friendship and often exchanged ideas and shared their insights with each other.
In an in-depth conversation, the boss told Yang Shuchun about his entrepreneurial journey from having nothing to becoming wealthy, which inspired Yang Shuchun.
It turned out that this boss had struggled alone in Spain when he was young, experienced poverty, and even had the idea of quitting for a while. However, with his perseverance and insatiable thirst for challenges, he eventually won a brilliant victory in life.
On the occasion of parting, the boss gave Yang Shuchun a message: "Life should be full of challenges, so it can show its value." ”
These simple words were like a thunderclap, deeply imprinted in Yang Shuchun's heart. He began to reflect on whether he was pursuing the right path in life. Does the seemingly glamorous profession of a diplomat herald a "sight-to-sight" and rule-based lifestyle? He longs for a more challenging and groundbreaking way of survival.
2. The intersection of life of rupture and choice
After a full year of exciting study abroad in Spain, the first thing I faced was the difficult decision of my future life path. Yang Shuchun was unwavering in his heart and resolutely decided to abandon his original dream of becoming a diplomat and explore his own new sky.
However, such a choice hit his dear parents like a thunderbolt from the blue! They are looking forward to the graduation of their son, who will be able to enter the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and begin a career full of hope and glory.
Yang Shuchun affectionately and sincerely explained his inner world to his parents: "Dear parents, I have been thinking about it for a long time before finally making this decision. I don't want to live a life where you can see the end at a glance and follow the rules.
The words of the Chinese entrepreneur touched him deeply: "The value of life lies in constantly meeting the challenges and breakthroughs of new things. ”
Before he could finish speaking, the father took his son's hands tightly and admonished him earnestly: "Son, you must not be deceived by the words of others. ”
Mother also nodded frequently on the side, tears flashing: "Shu Chun, you are the heart of me and your father, we have worked hard in this life, just to see you have a bright future." ”
In the face of his parents' bitter heart, Yang Shuchun still adhered to his beliefs. He firmly believes that if he does not pursue a more meaningful and challenging way of life, his life will be extremely weak.
