Seeing the Sea (prose)
Text/Wang Deming
Look at the sea. When you think about it, you are very happy.
My hometown is on the edge of the Xiaoxing'an Mountains, with no sea, no river, not even a lake. In the waterlogged year, a little water accumulates on the meadow at the south end of the village, forming a small bubble, which is not as deep as the waist. On a dry day, there were no bubbles, only bare shells. I used to go to blisters with a sieve to catch fish, and the loach was fun to keep.
The sea, the first impression I had was fear.
When I was in elementary school, I learned a text. A Panamanian freighter was shipwrecked at sea and asked an American freighter for help, but Captain James ignored it and the Chinese steamship reached out to help. Afterwards, a Somali crew member gave Chinese a thumbs up in thanks. The sea, which nearly devoured the lives of the crew, was my first feeling. But what really arose in awe was that a young man in the village, who went to a place called the Uyur River, pulled sand and drowned while swimming in the river, which made me know the horror of the water.
That year, I went to middle school. I studied a text called "Petrel", which is a prose poem by the Soviet writer Gorky. The sea he described was "thunder roaring, waves calling in angry droplets, fighting with the wind." Look, the fierce wind picked up the layers of huge waves, and viciously threw them to the cliff, smashing these large pieces of jadeite into dust and debris." When I came to Dalian after joining the work, my first action was to go to the sea. However, it is a calm world, and the blue is intoxicating. The waves hit the reef, making a "whooshing" sound, opening up thousands of waves, shining golden light under the illumination of the sun, flickering, like beautiful fireworks in the blue sky.
A coastal walk, calm, azure, vast, not only the sea, but also the heart of the wanderer.
The Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China established the basic line centered on economic construction, and countless people who were willing to create wealth with their hands plunged headlong into the mysterious "commercial sea", and the market economy developed rapidly. In 2020, the annual GDP has reached 101.6 trillion yuan, an increase of 2.3% over the previous year. The basic pension insurance coverage has exceeded 900 million people, and the medical insurance coverage has exceeded 1.3 billion people. China has become the world's second largest economy, with foreign exchange reserves ranking first in the world for many years. One country, two systems, Hong Kong and Macao returned as scheduled, lin Qingxuan's "News on the Sea" always reminds people of the side of the sea.
Love the sea, starting with her daughter's long journey to study.
Australia and China are not connected by continents, and there is a sea in between. The first time I went to see my daughter, I looked at the flight chart and knew that I was above the sea. Looking down from the plane, the white clouds through it are like the sea. After flying for more than ten hours, I didn't feel tired at all when I saw my daughter. Suddenly, I had a feeling that the sea was a carrier connecting me and my daughter, and when I saw the sea, I was close to my daughter, and I fell in love with the sea and was happy to walk along the sea, especially when I saw the plane landing on the runway surrounded by the sea.
As the old saying goes, misfortune depends on blessings, and blessings and misfortunes lie down. The COVID-19 pandemic swept the world in 2020, but it got the Australian government to give me a two-year visa to spend time with my daughter. I am a layman, I did not ask for much, with the sea and the wind, such an ordinary stay and warmth, is enough. As long as the weather is good, I go to the beach every day for a stroll. Just like the mother said, holding her daughter's hand, blowing a faint wind, looking at the little white sails on the skyline, is there anything happier under the sky?
After graduation, I went to Dalian. The mother cried loudly, and the mother, who had never seen the sea, said that she loved the sea.
