When I learned the news of Mr. Nguyen's death in the morning, I was surprised, stunned, heartbroken, and then I had a crush. All impermanent aggregates and discretes are sharp, continuous, and never-ending stops.
Since 2013, he has successively replaced the class "News Today Talk", when Phoenix's base camp in Beijing was still in the XiaohongLou in Haidian. Mr. Nguyen's office is in the innermost part of the corridor, the room is not large, the TV is always on, and there are always many newspapers on the desk. The first time I visited Mr. Ruan, I knocked on the door and introduced myself, as if greeting an old friend, "Chu Yi, sit", which kindly resolved the anxiety of young people. After a long time, I found that this chief commentator, the old gentleman who was in the limelight, was actually as cute as a child in his bones.
Mr. Ruan has been diabetic for many years, and his diet has always been carefully adjusted by Ruan's mother, what can be eaten and what cannot be eaten, no worse, especially sweets are more cautious. But Mr. Partial loves all kinds of desserts, mid-autumn festival I sent him mooncakes, he always secretly ate in the office, full of excitement and satisfaction.
At work, I have always regarded him as an old man and a leader. Not only because he has a keen insight into major events at home and abroad, a unique and daring perspective, but also his most admired attitude and humility towards colleagues, he taught me to have the ability to listen and understand before I have the ability to dialogue.
▲ Mr. Nguyen, who is always serious about his work
Mr. Nguyen's day is almost immersed in the news, although the current affairs commentary has become familiar with the road, treating each episode of the program, still consulting materials, writing notes, writing outlines, printing news, and drawing key points. For an old man, such a workload is not small, but also to ensure that it is clearly explained in the program, I know that Mr. Nguyen enjoys it.
Sometimes we were funny, grabbing Mr. Nguyen to accompany me to take a selfie funny, and he never refused. I said that I had sent a circle of friends, and he shook his head and smiled bitterly, "My name has been destroyed in your hands."
▲ Cute Uncle Ruan, without a little "idol baggage"
In life, he took care of me like a father, and when he was sick, he would never be without Mr. Nguyen's greetings; he would also call at any time like a friend to talk about the rolling news, or simply because he couldn't remember the name of the restaurant where the lamb was delicious. He is so real and pure.
When he learned that I was going to get married, he was overjoyed, and Ruan's mother told me several times that she was as reluctant and happy as marrying a daughter. Looking at the group photo at that time, I didn't expect it to be the last time.
▲This is my most precious photo, and the only photo with Mr. and Mrs. Nguyen
Mr. Nguyen especially likes children, after I had a child, he asked me to send a few photos of the baby to their second elder every day, hoping to take the child to see him, always because of various reasons did not make the trip, and now regret it. Later, when they returned to Taiwan, there was always WeChat exchanges with them, and they never broke off contact. During the New Year's Festival, Ruan's mother always sent greetings to my junior as fast as she could. The gentle, kind, and upright character of the couple has really affected me.
▲ This is the last issue of "News Today Talk" recorded at the Phoenix Guild Hall, after which we moved. Mr. Nguyen said, "Let's take a group photo!" ”
The past is like smoke, bits and pieces gush into the heart, the familiar faces in the lens gradually drift away, the time is no longer there, and the familiar sounds in life fade away. The elders who once gave me infinite warmth do not want to say goodbye to you, but saying goodbye does not mean forgetting.
Miss you Uncle Nguyen, thank you, always miss you.
