118. Don’t ask about life or death. Zhang Xiaolian’s wedding day came unknowingly.

When Zhang Xiaolian got married, our whole family went out that day, and Xueer and Xiaoqiang didn’t even have to go to school. Of course I have to be happy to go.

In those days, although the countryside was catching up with the old and new, changing customs and customs, most of the country people were still flexible in the implementation of major events such as weddings and funerals.

Zhang Xiaolian herself was once considered a cadre, and the person she was going to marry was a serious state cadre. Therefore, her wedding ceremony consciously followed the revolution of changing customs. There were no invitations or gifts, no big fuss, and the dowry was very simple. A few very simple daily necessities, such as towels, tea bottles, water cups, toothpaste, toothbrushes, and a few new sets of bed sheets and quilt covers were all her dowry.

However, for country people, no matter how they change their customs, even if they don’t set up a banquet, if there is a big event like a wedding or funeral, and there are a lot of people watching the fun, it will not be reduced at all. The scene is still very exciting. Lively and spectacular.

If you are getting married, the climax of the ceremony is the wedding ceremony. If you are getting married, the climax of the ceremony will naturally be the crying ceremony.

Marriage is the most important dividing line in life, from child to adult; from being a child to being a parent; from being under the protection of parents to facing society independently. These are all disconnected from the wedding day. When a girl faces this huge change in her life, she has endless emotions in her heart. This is the cry of a country girl getting married. When a girl cries for marriage, it is a touching moment for a girl to say goodbye to her parents and say goodbye to her brothers and sisters. Some are good at crying, while others only cry. The real crying marriage is actually a touching confession.

Zhang Xiaolian cried very sadly and sadly today. From her parents to her brothers and sisters, to relatives, friends, and neighbors, she all used her cries to tell her gratitude and express her reluctance. Almost everyone present was moved to tears by her crying marriage. I can't face such a situation. I could silently feel her confession and pity from her shrill cries. I didn't dare to let everyone present see my tears. From the moment Zhang Xiaolian started crying about getting married, I avoided everyone and ran to the far countryside alone, feeling miserable alone.

In such an occasion, no one would pay special attention to me. Even Michelle was immersed in the sadness of farewell at the moment and completely forgot about my existence.

Just like that, I left this lively and sad scene alone. Unconsciously plunged into the boundless wilderness. Wandering and dazed, I walked along the country road that Zhang Xiaolian and I had walked many times before, to the fields and to the fields. It was a period of tenderness covered by night, and a scene of sadness swallowed by darkness.

In the wilderness of the countryside, Suola's sobs are still floating vaguely, and in the boundless loneliness, my soul is also wandering in the air. Suddenly, I saw a familiar figure, dressed in new clothes, descending from the sky and floating in. She was suspended in the air, flicked her sleeves, gently took me into her arms, and flew away with me.——

"Who are you? Where are you taking me?"

"do not ask who I am? Don't think about who you are? Life is like a stinky skin, and death is like a wisp of smoke; if you remove this stinky skin, you will be in the clouds and mist between heaven and earth."

I only heard a voice hovering in the air. The voice was like a Sanskrit mantra, and my life suddenly fell from the air. But in an instant, my life was split, divided into two halves of yin and yang. Half of them turned into dust. It fell and was scattered on the wilderness; half of it turned into green smoke, curled up into the sky, and floated into the ethereal universe.

If not this is the end of life and the salvation of death?

I am a communist who was born in a new society and grew up under the red flag. Successor. We have received pure proletarian revolutionary education since childhood. We do not believe in God or ghosts, and our revolutionary will is very firm.

However, we learned in school that matter is the first nature and consciousness is the second nature. In other words, life There is still matter and consciousness. If the manifestation and carrier of life is visible and tangible matter, then what is consciousness? What about spirit? Do people have souls? Where is the soul of a person when he is alive? Where does a person’s soul go after he dies?

In fact, with the current scientific and technological civilization of mankind, mankind has not yet fully understood its own life and death. According to mankind’s own general understanding and thinking, all people are born from the mother’s womb. From the moment it makes its first cry, it means the birth of a new life. Then, this life will continue to suck in some things from the earth and excrete some things, until one day it can no longer suck in or expel anything. At this time, this life ends again. This is the most simple and ignorant understanding of human life, nothing more. Is human life just like this skin and bones? Human life and death are just these bones and skin. Infinite cycle, never ending?

This is obviously too naive!

In the real society, how many people believe that people have spirit and soul? What is the human spirit? What is the soul?

Human beings, many people often , are all very self-righteous and smart. In fact, what are humans among all things in the universe? Even a drop in the ocean is considered high and flattering. As long as we humans think about it carefully, when we see in our eyes the cracks in the earth, An ant comes out. What is the world of that ant? And what does that ant mean to us humans? According to this reasoning, if we humans are put into the vast universe, we are in another world. , in front of another giant, then we humans are probably not as good as ants.

Therefore, ants can never understand themselves with our human eyes and thinking; similarly, we humans cannot stand at a higher height and position, to truly see and recognize ourselves.

It was from the moment I fell to the ground, from the moment I officially died, that moment. I suddenly discovered that we humans are not that simple!
