The following is the text:

Zuo Guan's hometown is in K City, saitama, which takes about an hour by express train from Ueno. It is not so much a satellite city in Tokyo as a suburb where you can drive to work, and there is no geographical significance of "hometown". Zuo Guan's parents are no longer alive, and his hometown is only his brother and sister-in-law and several relatives in the city.

"Beautiful town on the horizon"-this is Zuo Guan's impression of his hometown.

"I was black and blue all over in order to go to the other side of the horizon. It is a wonderful irony to return to my hometown to find a burial place after 30 years. " Zuo Guan laughed at himself and came to his hometown station. The sky is gloomy, as if it is going to snow soon.

The party was held in a restaurant in the suburbs. The scenery of this town has changed its old view. If people bring him here silently, he will certainly not recognize his birthplace. For more than 30 years, my hometown has changed beyond recognition.

Zuo Guan searched hard for the "Lake Moon" restaurant, but it was a little late. He thought it would be grand enough if only fifteen or sixteen people attended, but when he saw the scene, he was surprised to find that two Japanese-style rooms were filled with more than forty people side by side. Because I just came from outside, the room was full of people, and I was a little suffocated. He even has a feeling that "the whole class may be there". It has been a great contribution for the director to find out the news of so many people.

"Hey, isn't this a left turn?" A burly man who looks like a clerk greets in the middle of the meeting. He is Aoki Valley who sends postcards. There was a kind sigh all around.

"Sorry, I'm late." Zuo Guan greeted the naughty boy of that year primly. Then someone shouted, "Kimpiro. Come here! " Kimpiro is a nickname that imitates the pronunciation of two words and deliberately sounds funny. He glanced in the direction of calling him his nickname, and a familiar face showed an unforgettable smile. The "millstone" is there, and so is the "cylinder barrel". See "Octopus" and "Old Lady" coming. Those faces remembered by nicknames instead of names still retain their primary school appearance more than 30 years ago, and now they are middle-aged people with paunchy bellies.

The 30-year gap was instantly eliminated. Zuo Guan feels that he has discovered a miracle. In order to remember the past more than 30 years ago, almost all the students got together. This is really unbelievable in this world where it is already difficult to survive.

The clerk has come to collect the meal. The classmate named Shimamoto next door seems to be very imposing. He took out several ten thousand yuan bills and said he would donate them. The officer said that "everyone pays equally" and declined.

I began to introduce myself in turn, including officials, doctors, craftsmen, company employees, shopkeepers, journalists, engineers and so on. Nowadays, the urchin whose primary school has been given up has spread to every corner of society.

Despite the changes that have taken place here for 30 years, despite being immersed in the joy, nostalgia and sadness over the passage of time, everyone is still indifferent to each other. There is no sense of superiority for winners, and there is no sense of inferiority for losers.

Many people met for the first time in 30 years and returned to their childhood. Zuo Guan had many partners in primary school, not only at school, but also after school. I met not only my classmates, but also their families. At that time, unlike the primary school now, I went to school at seven and went to cram school after school.

At that time, we went to school together in groups according to regions, and unconsciously came here with each classmate's family on the way.

In particular, Zuo Guan's class did not change the grouping, and the whole class became a family-style * * * body. Now, people in Tan Xing are reluctant to part with their old love, not only mentioning each other's episodes, but also recalling their family and adventure stories on their way to school.

The meeting is imminent, but few people want to leave. The other room is for the second dinner. Shimamoto was in high spirits and clamored for a geisha.

While talking with his old friends one by one, Zuo Guan realized that his life so far was nothing more than returning to this place tonight, and he couldn't help feeling.

The students didn't know that he got off the bus to attend the reunion before he died. After the meeting, he had nowhere to go except death. However, all the students think that he has made great achievements in Tokyo.

It's time for the second dinner. Director Aoki suggested holding another reunion in three years, and then announcing the meeting. The participants met again three years later and dispersed. Some of them live in this city, but they also return to Tokyo, Yokohama and neighboring counties and cities.

Out of the "Moon Lake", snowflakes are flying in the sky, and the roof and street end are covered with a thin layer of snow.

"It seems that the snow will not stop for a while."

The cold wind of reality seems to cool the body burned by wine and sadness. These "naive adults" who returned to childlike innocence 30 years ago were disappointed when they came back to reality. This is the face of a middle-aged man who has endured the wind and rain for 40 years.

Those who are still nostalgic for sentimental aftertaste have started a third dinner party. Let you go to the ends of the earth and finally return to reality. Of course, they have good ideas about it, but they can only delay it for a while.

Zuo Guan is also one of them, but for him, it is not to delay the time of returning to reality, but to delay the time of death.

Several bars are strung together, and the number of people is decreasing with each turn. When I walked into the fourth and fifth bars, Shimamoto was the only one left, and he almost paid the bill. Shimamoto was almost drunk. He has been drinking from the beginning. Zuo Guan figured it out from Shimamoto's drinking method. Shimamoto seems to be doing well on the surface, but it is not. Singing can reflect a person's living environment, and there is a depression in Shimamoto's wine.

They were only casual acquaintances in primary school, so they knew nothing about his family. It is said that he is now the manager of a company. Judging from his attitude, he seems to have a bad life. Zuo Guan was not interested in the recent situation of his classmates, so he didn't listen carefully to everyone's self-introduction.

"Hey, Shimamoto, ready to go home." The bar will close soon.

"Go home? Where to go? " His eyes widened in drunkenness.

"Go home, of course!"

"home? I have no home! "

"Hey, don't tease." Zuo Guan is a little overwhelmed.

"I escaped, and the company had a loophole in the economy. I was not caught immediately when I went back. "

"Don't scare people."

"Not scare people. I came to the reunion with the determination to commit suicide. Hey, everybody's happy. How did they know I was looking for the cemetery? I have spent the rest of the money. Say goodbye after three years, don't laugh at me, I have today and no tomorrow. " Shimamoto said with tears.

"Let's go out first." Zuo Guan supported Shimamoto with his shoulders and left the bar. The snow is getting heavier and heavier. Zuo Guan panicked at the ironic ending. Even after drinking, people who tell their specific motives in detail and lament that they want to commit suicide cannot be ignored.

"I can't die, I have to think about it." Zuo Guan's advice is diametrically opposed to his determination. He supported his friend's heavy body with his shoulders and walked on the snowy street, with no destination, just to walk. Although it is my hometown, it looks like a strange town and a vast place.

Thirty years is gone forever. Standing here are losers in the journey of life, people who have been killed by the long-term negative pressure of life.

But Zuo Guan gradually gave up the idea of suicide. Even if you are alive, your luck will not change, and your future life is likely to continue to fail.

Nevertheless, let's live with the goal of meeting again in three years for the time being. He supported the bodies of his old classmates who had walked different roads with him for more than 30 years and met at the intersection of defeat, and walked endlessly on the snowy night.
