Those crystal tears

An Liang

① It is said that southern Xinjiang is mostly made of green poplars without eyes and poplar euphratica without tears. The moment I stepped into the desert, I concluded that Populus euphratica was the embodiment of perseverance and tenacity, and it seemed that it had no chance of tears. But in those days, I really felt the heart-warming tears of Populus euphratica.

②The urban area of ??Kashgar has high-rise neon lights and lake landscapes, which are the same as many medium-sized cities in the mainland. But when we go deep into the countryside and visit farmers, the poverty and backwardness are first and most vividly revealed in housing. I walked in with a kind of compassion, but also with a kind of sadness. Houses made of mud and bamboo can be seen everywhere. Heartbreakingly low, shamefully worn. We people in this big city should be ashamed. We are all brothers, so why has this gap not been eliminated? In the aunt's house in Yarkand, people and animals almost live together, and the smell from the sheep shed is like floating dust, which goes straight into the living room. The aunt is in her fifties, but she looks haggard and old like a grandma in her seventies or eighties. The village party secretary said that her husband had died of illness a long time ago, and she was raising an old man and five children. Two of the five children were born mentally retarded and were on subsistence allowances. She could feed the whole family. That's great, but improving housing is almost impossible. While he was talking, the mentally retarded girl in her teens sat there stupidly, her eyes dull and defiant. I held my aunt’s hand and told her that the government would help her build a spacious and earthquake-resistant house. When the village party secretary was translating, I saw tears overflowing from the aunt's dry eyes, and there was a light and joy in the eyes of the demented girl, and I couldn't help but feel the heat in my eye sockets.

③In the third village of Zepu Baxiang, villagers are cleaning up the site after the earthquake. Under the sun, they were sweating hot and having fun. The township leaders gathered them together and introduced that Shanghai came to support us in building affordable housing. They helped design the drawings, and they also provided part of the money. Before I finished speaking, I saw the villagers whispering to each other and all looking at us. Although I couldn't hear or understand what they were saying, the luster in those eyes was joyful, and there was a warm power rippling between us.

④An old man in Bachu County first built a new house. There is a 90-square-meter apartment and a planting and livestock area of ??nearly one acre. Hearing that we were from Shanghai, his eighty-year-old mother came up eagerly, held my hand tightly, and murmured, her dim old eyes filled with tears, and his son wiped his eyes from time to time. .

⑤Many people in Kashgar still live in adobe houses. If there is even the slightest rain, water will seep out and even collapse, which is very dangerous. A local construction official told a story that still resonates with me and makes me unable to calm down. A few years ago, during the Jiashi earthquake, all the houses in a village collapsed in an instant, causing numerous casualties. There is only one family that received government subsidies and scraped together some money to transform their house into an earthquake-resistant house, so the whole family has no worries. When the leader went to offer condolences, he actually cried in his arms. Everyone was puzzled, and finally learned that many people in the village had temporarily taken shelter in his house during the earthquake, making him suddenly the most eye-catching and enviable figure in the village. He was crying with joy!

⑥ Populus euphratica is a symbol of manliness and a symbol of Xinjiang people. They are also reluctant to shed tears, but when they get emotional, they burst into tears.

⑦We couldn’t help but shed tears when we saw them crying with excitement.

⑧The tears reflect the national sentiment and brotherhood!
