For the vast majority of people, the airport is just a transit point. Sending people from all over the world to their respective destinations, even if there is an hour of delay, is a kind of anxiety torture.
But at Charles de Gaulle Airport in France, there was such a special passenger who stayed at the airport for 18 years.
Even airport staff don't usually work that long, but the passenger has almost become a memorial sign of the airport's movement.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-center-line" >01 Nassery: with a golden key and an iron thorn</h1>
Meian Karimil Nassery, now in his old age, is almost a "hero" known to everyone at Charles de Gaulle Airport. Even Hollywood used him as a prototype to remake a movie.
Nasseri was born in Iran in the early 1960s to a wealthy merchant family. Nasseri's father is Iranian and his mother is British.
Although Nassery's father was wealthy, he did not believe that The level of education and environment in Iran would bring a better life to Nasseri, so when Nasseri became an adult, he sent Nasseri to England to study.
Nassery also lived up to expectations and was successfully admitted to Bradford University in the United Kingdom, which is one of the well-known universities in the United Kingdom and has a certain status and influence in the world. Bradford University's QS ranking is about 700, which is equivalent to a good "double first-class" university in China.
But Nassery didn't go to college to get a job or a job, just to satisfy hobbies and improve cultural literacy, because it was a "rich second generation." The favorable conditions of the family allow him not to worry about the pressure of work, and everything he wants and does comes from his own field of interest.
Originally, Nassery only wanted to be a lover of literature and carry out the identity of "loser". After all, the family's property can not be continued in a few poems, and if Nassery is obsessed with literature and does not learn some management and management knowledge, it will be difficult for him to inherit the family's wealth.
But it wasn't until college that Nassery realized how ridiculous his previous opinions were. He deeply understood the stories of many self-disciplined and self-made characters, and also strengthened his determination to create a career.
In a communication with his father, Nassery said that he would not choose the towering tree that his father had planted for him, but would find a seed for himself and grow into a taller tree.
But with the accumulation of experience and knowledge, Nasserly's views in Britain have far surpassed those of his peers studying in Iran, and he is deeply aware of the errors of many of his country's policy measures and the government's tight control of the class system.
Coming from the upper echelons, Nassery had a hard time realizing that there were still many poor people in his country who could not eat or wear clothes. But after a few years of study in England, Nassery already had a high level of ideological awareness.
He began to gradually resist and oppose what the Iranian government was doing, from not supporting it in his heart at the beginning, gradually trying to persuade his family and friends, and finally, Nasseri simply joined many demonstrations against the Iranian government.
The violent march gave Nassery a lot of lightheartedness and recognition, but he was also targeted by the government. Due to his high status, he was notoriously influential in the "circle".
In order to curb Nasserie's adverse effects on the government, Iran decided to expel Nasseri from his citizenship and ordered him not to return to Iran, otherwise he would be treated as a forced invasion.
Originally, Nasseri's actions were not yet excommunicated, but the then Iranian king Mohamed had a great opinion of Nasseri, because Nasseri often publicly mocked Mohamed's rule. So Nassery got that treatment.
< h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" >02 traveled to England and France, and finally stayed at Charles de Gaulle Airport for more than ten years</h1>
The year was 1977, and having lost his citizenship, Nassery would not be able to return to his home, nor would his father be able to wrestle with the government. Fortunately, Nassery managed to obtain a temporary refugee card in Britain, thanks to the assistance of his father and the support of the school.
The temporary refugee card gave him the right to travel to the host country, but each country's policy toward refugees was different, which forced him to wander back and forth between countries. In each country, he can only do some zero-threshold work to earn some food money.
These tasks were very difficult for Nasserie, who had been pampered since childhood, and he was only dancing and inking in school, and he was not good at contributing. But Nassery gritted his teeth because he didn't want Iran's citizens to know that the consequences of his opposition were miserable.
He still wants to make himself incredibly successful and continues to encourage more people to stand up against corrupt governments in order to build a better country.
Although, in his own strength, the possibility of this idea being realized is insignificant, and the so-called "decay" is only the personal opinion of Nassery, the situation in the whole country is very complex, and it is impossible to say whether there are conditions for revolution.
A few years later, Nasseri finally got an official refugee visa in Belgium. With this visa, he is free to move between the UK and France and to take on formal jobs offered by a number of countries. This is nothing less than a great thing for Nassery.
In fact, after the turmoil subsided and iran's top brass changed, Nassery's father intended to bring Nasseri back and re-apply for citizenship and identity for him.
But the stubborn Nasserry said that if the motherland abandoned him, it would no longer be his homeland.
The "citizen of the world" refused to return to Iran and chose to remain in Britain and France to work. But seven years later, his peaceful life was shattered again.
In 1988, Nasseri sat on a subway that led to Charles de Gaulle Airport, which he was going to fly to London Airport in The United Kingdom.
When he got out of the place, Nassery was horrified to find that his purse, which he never left, had been stolen. The value of this leather bag is not high, and there are only bits and pieces of small money in it.
But Nasseri's refugee visas, temporary identification and other documents are inside, without which he would not have been able to get out of London airport.
With a try,losing his hand, Nassery boarded a plane to London. But when he arrived at the security checkpoint, Nassery was unable to produce the documents, and although he repeatedly explained that his belongings had been stolen, no one wanted to believe him.
At that time, electronic information technology was not yet widely used, paper proof was the only sign, without proof, it was almost impossible to move. Especially for a refugee like Nassery, that means he will be homeless.
Nassery did not struggle, and followed the staff to board the plane again. According to British regulations, it will be repatriated to where it came from: Charles de Gaulle Airport.
Nassery arrives at Charles de Gaulle airport, and without proof, he can no longer get out of the airport. Fortunately, because he often worked at the airport, he also developed a certain popularity, and when his situation was reported to the French government, the airport agreed to stay overnight at this "citizen of the world" and turned him into a "Charles de Gaulle airport citizen".
It also means that Nassery can stay at the airport, but he can't leave the airport for even an inch until he gets a valid id.
There were many red benches in the airport lounge, and Nassery "occupied" one of them, spread some old clothes, blankets and newspapers, and became his bed. Since the temperature in the airport is almost constant all year round, he does not have to worry about cold or heat.
The only thing that bothered Nasserie was probably the strange look in the passengers' eyes for the first half of the year. But soon, Nassery adapted to life here.
Flights at the airport are almost 24 hours a day, and the roar of the plane often makes him unable to sleep well, but when he gets used to it, he can use the plane at five o'clock in the morning as his alarm clock.
Later, Nassery even listened to the sound to discern which plane was going to take off and infer the current time from the flight. People have to sigh a sentence of practice can make skill, and think of the shop Xiao Er who wrote "the world's first Xiongguan" before Jiayu Pass.
Airport bathrooms generally have free dental appliances placed by the staff, who have their own toothbrushes, but toothpaste needs to be used at the airport. After washing, he will clean his chair and put away the mattresses one by one for the passengers to use.
During the day, Nassery often liked to stand by the newsstand at the airport, waiting for the passengers waiting for the passengers to leave, and throw away the newspapers and magazines. Nassery enjoyed reading these things because they often made Nassery feel that his knowledge had not regressed.
He also chatted with enthusiastic, talkative passengers to learn a lot about new knowledge and content. When someone first talked to Nasserie about the Internet, Nasserie still had a look of distrust. But more than a decade later, Nassery recalled that there were only vicissitudes of change.
A large car at the airport responsible for transporting luggage is Nassery's "wardrobe". With no restrictions, Nassery likes to hang his clothes in the car in the morning, after which the car will start the day and return to its original position at night.
Nasser had a favorite sweatshirt that he bought when he was a student and was expensive. He never gave it away, and only wore it once on special occasions. Nassery wrapped his clothes carefully in plastic sheeting and kept them in the car all year round.
By night, the shops at the airport are closed, and Nassery is free to roam. He would usually go to the bathroom, wash his clothes with airport water, and hang them on the car.
Nasser had a razor, the blade was a little dull, but it still worked. He would tidy up his beard every day.
So although Nassery was a "refugee," his clothing, image, and spirit always gave a sense of cleanliness and cleanliness, without provoking sympathy or pity.
Nassery's appearance was not bad, on the contrary, he was very handsome because of his good genes. His melancholy blue eyes and gentle Persian accent always gave him a special appeal.
However, in his later years, Nasserry's appearance still had a lot of decline, which made people feel a sense of regret that Planck studied physics.
He also fell in love with a French girl in an encounter and had a special wedding at the airport. The wife would visit Nassery every day, chat with him, and bring him groceries.
But Nassery didn't accept help from anyone but his own wife. Someone once tried to send him clothes and other things, but they were all politely and firmly rejected by him. "I am a refugee, but not a beggar," he said.
Over time, Nassery became good friends with the airport staff, and the passing delivery staff would leave him a fragrant beef and a cup of strong coffee, including the pastor and priest of the airport, who would discuss the Christian creed with him.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" >03 The story was written from a refugee to a wealthy businessman</h1>
In 1993, Nassery was given a chance to leave Charles de Gaulle Airport, but he refused. It turned out that his story had long been known to some directors, and one director used his personal experience as the source of the story to write a script and make it into a movie, called "Falling from the Sky".
Although this film did not achieve great success, it still caused a lot of repercussions. Many people began to pay attention to Nassery's life and situation, and even many Frenchmen who sympathized with him petitioned for him, hoping to "rescue" Nassery.
The French government also realized that Nassery's support rate was increasing, so it did a good job and issued Nassery a refugee card. But Nassery was reluctant to leave Charles de Gaulle airport because the French government offered him that he could only live in Belgium, while his wife was in France and his mother was in England, making it very inconvenient to go back and forth.
Steven Spielberg is a world-renowned American director. "Jaws", "Jurassic Park", "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and other globally recognized good films are from his hands.
When Spielberg heard Nasserie's story, he was immediately inspired. He approached Nassery, hoping to ask him for more details of his life and adapt his story into a movie. To this end, he specially invited Tom Hanks to star as the male lead.
Hanks has won the Academy Award for Best Actor several times, and teaming up with Spielberg can be called the "anti-heaven lineup". Many actors who have squeezed their heads and want to enter Hollywood can't imagine how Nassery can get such a wonderful treatment.
Nassery agreed to Spielberg's adaptation and received $250,000 in royalties. And this movie, it's "The End of Happiness."
In the end, though, he didn't even know who Spielberg was, much less had he seen the films he directed.
In addition to the $250,000, Nasseri also received a special dividend for the film, which is also a big number. Nearly two decades ago, the purchasing power of $250,000 was still considerable, and with the subsequent dividend appreciation, he suddenly became a rich man from a refugee.
Nasseri has set a world record for the longest stay at the airport and has no intention of leaving. At the airport, among those around the world, he was curious as to how long Nasseri would be able to stay.
But in 2006, Nasseri had to leave the airport for medical reasons and go to the hospital for treatment. After his illness was cured, he was already very weak and could not stay at the airport on his own, and for humanitarian reasons, the French government arranged for him to spend the rest of his life in a nursing home.
From a young and energetic young man to an old man with a broken candle, Nasseri spent his most precious 18 years at the airport.
During this period, he lost his freedom, wealth and future, but he gained love and insisted on himself. Perhaps only Nasserry himself could figure out the gains and losses.
