May you be like a child in the sun and an adult in the wind and rain.

On the road of life, everyone is trying to find their own way, not too tortuous, not always wandering at the turning intersection. Things are different, I want to get what I want, and I want to live like running water, but there are always storms.

I admire those who can endure, hide their pain so deeply and share their happiness with others. In fact, their inner sadness has already flooded, but it seems as if nothing has happened, and the years fly by.

I believe A Xing's story will move you.

0 1

When I first met A Xing, he was a sophomore with dark skin and a slightly fat figure. An obvious feature is that he laughs and reveals two rows of gums, which is extremely ugly. Although we have laughed at him many times, he still laughs like a child, showing his gums unscrupulously, bringing warmth and joy to people.

A Xing and I are inseparable friends. When going to the toilet, we must hold hands. At that time, there was not much homework and the courses were relatively easy. The topic we discuss together every day is not the girl transferred from which class, nor is it guessing what color suspenders the female students in the front row wear.

Our class is located in an advantageous geographical position and the sunshine is just right. There is a big balcony in front of the class, where everyone can have activities after class. That balcony recorded the good times of our high school.

Sometimes I will kick shuttlecock there and talk about Duan, but more often I will stand there and punish A Xing. Outside the balcony, Xing Lei and I stood there, laughing and chatting freely, no matter whether it was sunny or rainy or stormy.

In a blink of an eye, those easy times are always short, and then I am a senior three.

That year, our world was surrounded by laughter.

Senior three became a turning point for A Xing and me. My good friend who accompanies me every day is no longer A Xing. Five years of college entrance examination, three years of simulation replaced him, and the classroom was no longer as happy as before. Everyone bowed their heads and brushed their papers for review. There was no sound of kicking shuttlecock outside the balcony, accompanied by repeated endorsements.

Like most college entrance examination students, I keep brushing papers and reciting them, and like most students, I bear the expectations of my parents and work hard for a goal.

The arrival of the college entrance examination has no influence on A Xing. One of his most common words is "I don't want to go to college, but I want to start a business in my bones and be my own boss." Thanks to his petty bourgeoisie, otherwise his parents would be furious.

Sure enough, he fulfilled his promise. 70 days before the sprint of the college entrance examination, he submitted the report of dropping out of school, and he came to the dormitory to pack his clothes alone. I hurried out while I was still in the classroom and saw him wandering around the school gate with a suitcase in his hand.

I coaxed him: "you dog star, you left without telling me, you are still not a brother."

He replied, "Dog Lin, I don't want you to drive me. I'm afraid I can't help crying. You should work hard to get into college and be my right-hand man in the future. Goodbye, brother, don't come over. "

I stopped slowly in my hurry and watched him turn around and wave his right hand at me. "Goodbye, be sure to come back to be a man."

That year, I was admitted to the university and A Xing dropped out.

I never thought that two years could make a person change a lot and suffer many setbacks.

Two years later, A Xing started a small company, and the benefits were not bad. In the circle of friends, there are often photos of his suit and tie shaking hands with a big coffee. At that time, I often molested him, saying that he had become a big boss and would take good care of my brother in the future.

In the photo, he gained a lot of weight, a whole circle fatter than his face in high school, and a lot stronger. The only constant is his dark skin and gums exposed when he smiles.

But it didn't last long. Life is full of accidents. I don't know which comes first, the accident or tomorrow.

Later, A Xing partnered with a friend who had known him for many years, and the man ran away with the money. He can only choose to sell the company to pay off debts and collect money from his old classmates. Even so, I still owe the bank more than 200,000 yuan, which is a huge sum for a young man aged 2/kloc-0.

He didn't tell his parents the truth, but simply said that the company's business was not good recently and the funds were a little tight. During this period, A Xing's life was very difficult. He spends no more than 30 yuan in his pocket every day, borrows some money from friends, owes three credit cards, and basically has no available quota left.

A Xing once again chose to leave alone and work hard in a strange city. He has been gone for three years. He didn't hear anything about him for three years and suddenly disappeared out of thin air.

That year, I was a junior, but A Xing was heavily in debt.

Those countless moments of licking the wound alone with tears are not enough to defeat the strong now after crossing.

That hard time will always pass.

In the first year, A Xing did more than a dozen jobs. Because of his high school education, he can only do some coolies. During the day, he moved goods to the moving company, cleaned the vegetable market at noon and took some odd jobs at night.

At the end of the day, except sleeping in a dormitory of several square meters, I basically bask in the sun and sweat outside. No matter how strong the body is, it can't stand high-intensity physical labor. He is thin, his weight did not exceed 105 Jin in the first year, and his skin was peeling off.

After struggling for two years, he said that he was afraid to look in the mirror, and it hurt to see his face polished by life in front of the mirror.

In this way, after two years, A Xing saved a sum of money and saved more than 20,000 yuan.

Under the double pressure of mental pressure and money pressure, A Xing fell ill, which spent all the money he had worked so hard to save.

Lying in the hospital bed, he looked at the mobile phone notification message, and the balance in the card was getting less and less every day. He thought it was another year in vain. He watched all kinds of people coming and going in the hospital, and people died and lived every day. A Xing said he thought about it himself, but it takes more courage to die than to live. A Xing still chose to persist, and living is hope.

A month later, A Xing recovered from a serious illness. Instead of working at once, he thought about it for two days and felt that he could not do hard work. Let's do some mental work.

As a result, he got a poor diploma to apply for a job. He submitted one resume after another, as if sinking into the sea. At that time, the balance of Cary was only 400 yuan, so I could only starve to death if I couldn't find a job.

After waiting for about two weeks, A Xing applied for a sales position. In fact, he is selling color TV sets and products in shopping malls. A xing doesn't want to miss this opportunity. Before going to work, he summarized the parameters, advantages and disadvantages of all color TVs in the mall in two notebooks.

As a result, A Xing won the weekly sales star and the monthly sales star in succession, and became famous in the local area. He also seized this opportunity and opened a free sales course in the local area, which received a strong response. A Xing was labeled as a sales expert, and his salary tripled from the original 1000 yuan, not to mention the commission. All employees in the company know A Xing.

A Xing said in class: "It was life that taught me how to struggle and how to endure those difficult days alone."

After graduating this year, A Xing has only 50,000 debts left.

I got a strange phone call last night. There was only one sentence on the other end of the phone: "Alin, meet me at the pub where our high school used to go at 8 pm."

That night, A Xing drank too much, only to see him staggering in the street at 3 am. I helped him and called him stupid until he didn't drink enough.

The street lamps on both sides of the street lengthen our figure, and it seems very quiet at night, as if there are only two of us in the whole world.

A Xing's words broke the silence and his psychological defense. He cried so hard that I felt very sad and distressed.

A Xing said, "Alin, I fucking survived those hard days. I really don't want to know what is waiting for me after I pay off my debts. What I am afraid of is that if one day I can't persist? "

I hit him hard in the right arm with my fist. "Don't talk to me. I have no idea who you are. When the sky fell, you were fine. Let me give you a word. Those who can't beat you will eventually make you stronger. "

We didn't speak, but hummed a song that was often sung in high school, Xu Wei's Once You. While singing and laughing, the two rows of gums are more vicissitudes under the street lamp, but they don't feel so ugly.

It's a long way, brother. Take your time!

May you be like a child in the sun and an adult in the wind and rain.
