The king was reborn
In the spring of 1971, with the cry of a baby, I landed on earth.
It is a barren land, far from the hustle and bustle of the city.
It is a shallow hilly area, scattered and scattered households, this small village, diagonally straddled between the east and west low, north and south long hills. From a distance, it looks like a giant dragon, stretching from north to south, a full kilometer.
To the north of the village is an east-west river that flows eastward all year round. The flat white sand beaches on both sides are our childhood paradise in summer. Playing hide and seek in the reed-like spotted thatched garden has become a fond memory of our adulthood.
Nowadays, due to excessive sediment mining, it has become a different place.
This is the land where I was born and raised.
The people here are hardworking and kind, honest and pure, and have been farming for generations.
But there have also been literati, and my uncle is one of them. In the early sixties, he graduated from Wuhan University.
Therefore, this homeland can also be called an outstanding person.
Originally, this was not our habitat, but due to the country's vigorous construction of water conservancy, the villages in the original plains had to be divided and relocated. Because my grandfather planned to reclaim more wasteland, he decided to move to this feng shui treasure land.
I spent my childhood in this almost isolated place, carefree.
It wasn't until I graduated from junior high school that I went to the county seat to take the entrance examination and left my homeland for the first time. But this county is not a prosperous county, but it opened my eyes.
It made me suddenly inspired that life is not about winter and spring, spring planting and autumn harvest, farming. Instead, there is a lot of traffic, floors, bright lights, and bustling people.
In the fall of 1989, at the age of 19, I graduated from junior high school and missed my high school career.
With helplessness and reluctance, I had to end my student days and step into society.
In the face of the loess with my back to the sky, I was extremely uncomfortable. The farming work, which was relatively unfamiliar, made me, a nerd, seem to have no idea where to start.
In the spring of 1991, I gave up my sweet first love and left my homeland for the first time with curiosity and yearning. Head north with your buddies and head straight to the capital of your homeland.
This trip to the capital lasted only more than half a month, and he gave up because there was no difference between work and agriculture. When we were young, we wanted to integrate into the metropolis and do a relatively decent job, but due to the limitations of technology and expertise, we were at a loss, and hope and reality were diametrically opposed.
So? We decided to give up and go back to our homeland.
With the continuous deepening and development of reform and opening up, a torrent of migrant workers has rapidly swept the north and south of the motherland.
In the face of such a huge tide of romance, how can I be willing to live as it is.
After much deliberation and guided by a friend, I decided to embark on a part-time job journey again.
In the summer of 1992, I once again ruthlessly bid farewell to my fiery first love and familiar homeland, and went to the southern gate of the motherland (Guangzhou City) alone, and began my dream of the city.
Accompanied by dreams and dreams, I was determined to integrate into this metropolis and become a part of it.
In this bustling and open city, I feel particularly out of place. Compared to the countryside of my homeland, it is really a world of difference.
Nearly 20 years of urban life, although I often yearn for and nostalgic, but with the passage of time, I have no skills, coupled with the limitations of emotional intelligence and IQ, and finally I have to be beaten back to my original shape.
During this period, many untold stories took place.
Now, more than ten years have passed, but the light of that unusual period often flashes in my mind.
In order to make an overall memory of the best time in my life, I decided to use words to record it as a permanent memory.
Due to the integration of a large number of young men and women in rural areas, the already prosperous and open city seems to be more prosperous.
Maybe it's a newcomer; Perhaps it was the deep-rooted roots of the countryside that made me unable to adapt to this kind of busy and bustling scene for a while. And at night, the red and green neon lights flickered non-stop, which made me can't help but immerse myself in the prosperity of that era and can't extricate myself.
My former sunrise and sunset routine will be ruthlessly disrupted.
This will be the city that never sleeps, a paradise for young men and women, self-liberation, and a symbol of power.
After graduating from junior high school, I could only work as a general worker.
With the communication of a friend, I was assigned to work in an electronics limited company.
In the company, I was more than 20 years old, and I couldn't fit into the life of young people at all.
I am introverted and calm, whether it is a fellow countryman or a provincial person, I almost never fit in. I like to be alone, I am not good at words and I am unwilling to communicate and communicate, you can imagine how monotonous, boring and boring my life is.
After nearly half a year of atmosphere edification, I changed my original intention and fully integrated into it.
I had the previous rejection and isolation, but it turned into acceptance and adaptation. Like many boys and girls, they are also completely open to integrate into the prosperity of the city and the entanglement of male and female emotions.
Half a year later, I left the company for various reasons.
Instead, with the help of a friend, he started his business. It's not so much about starting a business as it is about making a small business.
Friend Ah Hua, a little different.
In those years, in Guangzhou, there was almost nothing he could not do.
With his care, I started a small business in Guangzhou, and at least no one was looking for trouble.
Because with his connections and intersections, he seems to be omnipotent, almost black and white.
In this densely populated industrial park, a friendly store came into being.
In addition to dealing in drinks and daily necessities, the automatic mahjong table in the inner room and the commission for stealing the Hong Kong Mark Six lottery are also essential items. Coupled with the income from game machines (slot machines), it is also quite good. At least it surpasses the dead wages of the factory, and compared to the factory, it is still a little relatively free.
In fact, this is also a replica of Ah Hua's model, he not only owns the same stores, but also puts game consoles in various stores. Settle every once in a while, and then get a commission.
Because he became a security patrol officer at a police station in the jurisdiction through his network, his business was almost smooth.
Because of his cleverness, he has a great place to dance in this open city. In just a few years, from a motorcycle boy to a luxury car, it has been less than ten years.
Nowadays, it almost has a fleet, starting from the Changhe van, to the Buick sedan, only one year, and then upgraded to the Toyota 2.5 series, and then to the Audi Q7, it is only two or three years.
At present, there are three Toyota 2.5 series, one Shanghai GM business, one BMW X5, and one Guangqi business gasoline and electricity dual-purpose type. In addition to self-use cars, Q7 and Guangqi, other vehicles, either rented private or company, or public cars, as long as the buddy who said it, can be borrowed at any time.
Why did a person who didn't even graduate from junior high school get so noisy? Can his life model be replicated? As the person next to him, the answer is that it is absolutely impossible.
It's not just a simple copy and paste, but an all-round combination of time, place, and people. Otherwise, there are no doors.
Ah Hua, a native of the countryside, why can he be so proud and shine in the forefront of reform and opening up? He seems to be able to call the wind and rain and make everyone always admire?
