Rebirth of the Burning Era

On July 3, 1991, the Army Day just passed.

It was only summer, and the rain that lasted for several weeks finally stopped, but the temperature suddenly rose to 37 degrees. Early in the morning, the burning sun began to scorch the city without mercy, as if it wanted to. The water in the city was evaporated, and the whole city was roasted lazily.

In this hellish weather, the only people who can still be active are probably the students who are on summer vacation.

As for Liu Siqi, a senior high school graduate, he was in a bad mood after the rankings were released a few days ago.

This year, there are 3.5 million candidates for the national college entrance examination, and 560,000 are admitted, with a one-sixth of the admission ratio. Liu Siqi is one of the five-sixths of the nearly 3 million who fell out of the list.

I don't want to meet people, I don't want to go out to play, I don't even want to eat popsicles, so I sleep at home with my head covered every day!

It rained a few days ago, but it was really hot today. Even though the electric fan was on, I woke up early in the morning, covered in sweat.

"Fuck! Even God is against me!"

Liu Siqi was full of resentment, scolded her mother, got up and brushed her teeth and washed her face. As usual, she turned on the 22-inch color TV in the room.

In fact, the conditions of his family are very good. His father is a self-employed person and opened a hardware store. In the mid-1980s, he was a household of 10,000 yuan. Now his annual income is 70,000 to 80,000 yuan. His mother works in a state-run bicycle factory and is the deputy secretary of the party committee. , the family is not short of money, nor does he worry that Liu Siqi will not have a job in the future if he fails to go to university.

But Liu Siqi doesn't like the work arranged by his parents!

Going to the factory to be a worker, doing repetitive and boring mechanical labor on the production line every day, with a gray face and sweat, smoking and drinking with a group of workers who don't know a lot of characters. Is that what I, a high school graduate, should do? !

Or sit in the office?

If he is willing, he can arrange to enter the factory party committee office, which is a relaxed place. He can read, drink tea, read newspapers every day, and get paid monthly.

That doesn't work either. I, Liu Siqi, are a new youth in the new era of socialism. How can I waste my life like those old guys!

The old lady's arrangement was not good, and the old man wanted him to go to the store to learn business. He has read books, has a brain, and young people are energetic and can help a lot. What's more, the country has focused on economic development in recent years, and in the future, the "money" will be unlimited!

As for Dad's 'expectation', Liu Siqi has one word: vulgar!

Two words: vulgar!

Three words: Very vulgar!

I am a dignified high school student, an intellectual, who has been studying for so many years, and asked me to make a fool of myself for some stinky money? Give up your ideals for money?

It doesn't exist, it doesn't exist in a lifetime!

Like many young people who have been spoiled since childhood, the 18-year-old Liu Siqi is still very naive, with high eyes and low hands, and lack of ambition and talent.

If you really ask him what specific ideals he has, he can't tell.

There used to be, the ideal is to go to university, become a college student, and then become a scientist!

But now it seems that this is not realistic.

Someone was swiped in the college entrance examination, and he was only a few points short of it, but he could still try harder. Like him, he was short by more than 80 points. Even he himself knew that there was no drama!

Liu Siqi felt that he was like the protagonist of the Chinese version of "The Sorrows of Young Werther" sitting by the bedside, full of depression, depression, irritability, and confusion!

The news was broadcast on TV. Since June, several provinces such as Anhui and Su have experienced continuous torrential rains, and the water level has risen to the highest level in 50 years, causing large-scale floods. Soldiers riding in green military vehicles are rushing to the front line of flood fighting and rescue.

Looking at the turbid flood on the TV, Liu Siqi suddenly thought of a poem by Bei Dao.

everything.

"Everything is destiny, everything is a cloud of smoke, everything is a beginning without an end, everything is a fleeting pursuit, all joy has no smile, all outbreaks have a moment of silence, all death has a long echo Ah, life, why is it so cruel to me, am I destined to be a mediocre in this life!'

Thinking about it, I have mixed feelings, I feel that my life is too cruel, there is no hope, there is no future, why does God torture me like this.

Thinking that he had experienced so much pain that ordinary people can't understand, and still survived tenaciously, Liu Siqi was almost moved to cry by himself.

Just being hypocritical, I heard a commotion downstairs.

"What are you doing!" Liu Siqi was very annoyed when he interrupted his self-performance, and opened the window to look out.

A heat wave rushed in suddenly, almost stunned him.

Looking condescendingly, whether in the yard or on the street, many people are looking up and pointing at the sky.

He narrowed his eyes and subconsciously raised his head to look at the sky.

I saw not far from the horizon, facing the direction of the sun, a huge flying object appeared, slowly flying towards this side!

"Huh?" He rubbed his eyes and looked carefully.

It's an airship!

Because the airship doesn't fly high, it is only more than 50 meters from the ground, which is similar to the tallest building in the city, so it looks particularly large.

There were also two long streamers dragging under the airship.

Slowly striding across the sky, when passing over Liu Siqi's house, Liu Siqi could clearly see the two rows of scarlet letters that were bigger than people on the streamers.

'New era English school, one-stop fulfillment of your dream of going abroad'

'The new era goes to the world and helps you climb to the peak of life'

There is also a little tail in the middle, '7.7 pm at 8 o'clock, meet at the city stadium, life will be different from now on'

Both sides of the airship are also heavily printed with large fonts "7.7 pm at 8 o'clock, free English lectures in the city stadium"

Liu Siqi raised his neck to look at the sky~www.wuxiaspot.com~ his eyes were always glued to the airship, until the airship was far away, and there was only a small spot left, then he came back to his senses and rubbed his somewhat sore neck!

The words on the airship were all in his mind.

'Going to the world', 'The pinnacle of life', 'Life is different from now on'...

After a while in the room, he suddenly jumped up, grabbed the phone, and swiped on the turntable six times, playing six numbers.

"Hey, Dad, I want to learn English, I want to go abroad!"

……

On July 3, 1991, two almost identical airships appeared in the sky over Binhai City. In low-altitude flight, they held long banners, one from south to north, the other from east to west. Finally, a cross was drawn over Binhai City.

The words of the new era English tutoring school, together with the airship, entered the field of vision of the entire Binhai City.

The common people were watching the lively with their necks raised, but Liang Yifei and Song Dajun suffered.

They both sat in an airship and went to the sky early in the morning.

It was so hot that the sun shone in from the side, and it was impossible to hide. After this day, the yellow skin tanned into red skin, and the red skin began to peel again.

Liang Yifei is better. His physique has been honed by the prison and has become very solid. In the prison in summer, he is smashing stones at a high temperature of forty degrees. Like on an outing.

Wang Ziwei couldn't do it anymore. Before going to heaven, he was wearing a big shorts and a vest, like a naked pig without hair. After he got down, his whole body was red, and his head seemed to be steaming, like a roasted suckling pig, panting.

"My God, Boss Liang, your money is so hard to earn, I almost died in the sky!"
