Maran (prose)
Text/Wang Deming
The south side of the exhibition hall is covered with horsetails, one bush after another. Faint little flowers, gently swaying and dancing, are flowers like butterflies. Ma Lin, also known as Ma Lan, always reminds me of some old things.
That year, I went to study in a neighboring village.
On both sides of the road to school, this weed grows, and the rural people call her Marlan, mixed with artemisia, as ordinary as it is, and no one will care about her existence. However, she has developed roots, perseverance, unwilling to sink, silently accumulating strength, thriving in barren trampling. In summer, the little blue flowers are like a galaxy.
Every day on the road, I would often pick some maran flowers and give them to my peers at the same table as "two cents". "Two cents", surnamed Ma, name leek, is a neighbor of one of our villages. When she was a child, her family was poor, her hands were burned and there was no money to treat, and the back of her hands left two deep scars, like two coins. I always joked about the scars on her hands and gave her the nickname "two cents", which means not worth money. Of course, she also kicked and crippled for three days.
In the autumn of another year, we all returned to the village to participate in labor and became authentic farmers. At that time, the masses recommended outstanding workers, peasants, and soldiers to go to college, and it was said that our high school graduates could be recommended to college like Zhiqing. The students are eager to try, think of themselves as talents, and wait for the generations to emerge.
Soon, the "Gang of Four" stopped cooking.
The country is in ruins and waiting to be rebuilt, the unified enrollment examination for colleges and universities in the country has been restored, and the young people in the whole village have actively participated, and they have been named sun mountains again and again, and they have re-examined the exam again and again. The second sister-in-law said that a child who graduated from a rural school should not want to eat swan meat with toads, and it is the right thing to live honestly at home. Our physics teacher, Liu Minghu, said, I am a high school graduate of the county no. 1 middle school, I teach you, but also with you to take the exam, you must be able to get admitted, do not be discouraged, there will be ideals to have strength. Liu Minghu is a young intellectual, who takes the exam every year, but he is always named Sun Shan. Later, she simply stayed in the village to teach. I didn't stick to her ideas, but still believed her.
Most people didn't get her true biography, only "two cents" got it. When going to the ground, the "two cents" always carry a school bag, and when they rest, they take out the book and turn it over. "Two cents" said, do not give up until the goal is reached, and give her the kiss first.
In the autumn of that year, the commune had to select some of the students who had failed the college entrance examination to work in the township.
The commune came up with a question, "two cents" is very conspicuous, almost got a full score. The "two cents" essay "Dumb Second Uncle's Hoe Can Talk" wrote a story of poor and lower-middle-class peasants who rose up five times to express class feelings on the land in the middle of the night, which was deeply appreciated by Hou Tianlai, secretary of the commune party committee, and was elected as the secretary of the commune party committee, and soon became a civil affairs assistant. Two years later, the county cleaned up three kinds of people, Hou Tianlai became the head of the organization of the county party committee, and her appreciation turned into promotion, and she became the deputy director of the commune. Subsequently, the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China was held, which established the basic line of shifting the focus of the work of the whole party to economic construction, the market economy rolled in, and the people's communes were delisted and turned into townships.
Decades later, "two cents" appeared on television, and "one hundred exemplary county magistrates" were being honored.
The two-cent coin is long gone, but the appearance of the "two cent" has not changed much except for the years. Just like the maran flowers I saw when I was studying, despite the barren land, despite the wind and the sun, the weeds bloomed into a blue galaxy. Because, "two cents" and Liu Minghu are people who do not believe in life, and they have rooted themselves in the soil.
According to legend, Ma Lanhua, also known as Ma Leek, is a grass that grows cheaply and cheaply, but it is a family of dreams.
Review: Wang Keqi
Brief comment: Growing in the extremely ordinary maran flower on barren land, it has tenacious vitality. This is true of plants, and so are people, as long as they are willing to work hard, they will be able to become talents.
