Infinite Streamer

Faintly hearing the chirping of birds, Liu Yuan woke up from his drowsiness again and found himself in a dark cave. His touch felt like a warm, cottony quilt.

The gloomy weather makes people feel that there is no light. The blankets laid on the earthen kiln kang are also very contemporary, with a monotonous and simple gray and white color without any embellishment.

Liu Yuan rubbed his aching temples, and his throat was dry and uncomfortable. Lying in the warm bed, numb after the hangover, he really didn't want to get up, and couldn't remember what happened to him.

Suddenly, a series of memories flooded into my mind like a tide, and the memories were like fragments, dazzling me. "I am Sun Shaoping in "Ordinary World"!"

It turned out that while drinking and chatting with Tian Runsheng last night, Tian Runsheng lamented his fate. Although he became a combat hero, he was deafened by the close-range explosion of a shell and completely lost the possibility of recovering normal hearing. He had to wear a powerful hearing aid to barely be able to communicate.

Sun Shaoping himself could not help but sigh at his ill-fated fate. He finally managed to graduate from the county high school, but due to the times and family reasons, he could not change his fate by passing the college entrance examination. He finally became a private teacher in the village, but had to return home to farm because the village school was closed.

Sun Shaoping wasn't much of a drinker, and both of them felt a little sad while chatting.

Sun Shaoping recalled what he and Tian Xiaoxia had said about going to Beijing together to see Tiananmen Square and read Chairman Mao's words. The lofty ambitions they had back then now seemed like an unattainable dream, increasingly distant from his real life.

Tian Xiaoxia is now a Chinese major student at Huangyuan Teachers College. The gap between her and Tian Xiaoxia will only get bigger and bigger. She couldn't help but feel very uncomfortable. Before she knew it, she drank too much and fell asleep. She didn't know when Tian Runsheng left.

Now that "I" Liu Yuan is here, I will never let Sun Shaoping have any regrets. It is already 1981, and this year the country will implement the self-study examination for higher education. I remember that Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, and Liaoning were the pilot cities. The self-study examination for higher education has a flexible learning method, small contradiction between work and study, and relatively low cost. It implements a policy of easy entry and strict exit. As long as learners complete all the courses specified in the professional examination plan and obtain qualified scores, and pass the graduation thesis assessment, they can basically obtain a nationally recognized higher education diploma.

You should know that Liu Yuan once obtained a diploma in law from a military self-study exam, and then passed the judicial qualification exam, obtaining the qualifications to serve as a lawyer, judge, prosecutor, and notary. Sun Shaoping, you have perseverance, you can do it.

"Sun Shaoping" (Liu Yuan) cheered himself up, got up, washed his face, brushed his teeth, packed his luggage, and after communicating with his family, he set off immediately.

Now his eldest brother Shaoan is running a brick factory and the village has implemented the contract responsibility system for linking output to remuneration. When Liu Yuan saw the old man Sun Yuhou, who looked like Liu Wei, and his eldest brother Sun Shaoan, who looked like Wang Lei, he was inexplicably excited. The country's policies are good, and with the two of them, they can definitely support the family, and he can also go out and venture into the world without worry.

Sun Shaoping told his family that he had a friend who was doing well in Beijing and he wanted to go out and try his luck. Old Sun Yuhou, who had never traveled far from home, couldn't understand why Beijing was the capital of our country and it was so easy to go there. His family couldn't persuade Sun Shaoping, who had made up his mind, and had no choice but to let him leave.

In order to avoid being sent back as a "blind migrant", Sun Shaoping asked his elder brother Shaoan to help him get some blank letters of introduction from the village, which he always carried with him to be prepared.

The first letter of introduction reads: Sun Shaoping, a private teacher in our village, and one other person are going to Beijing to take the self-taught examination for higher education because they need to improve their academic qualifications. We hope that the relevant departments will contact us! Signed: Shuangshui Village Committee.

In the early 2003s, the public security department's control over "blind migrants" was still extremely strict, and it was not until the "Sun Zhigang incident" in 27 that there was a significant improvement. (Sun Zhigang, a -year-old college graduate from Wuhan Institute of Technology, worked in a company in Guangzhou. Because he did not apply for a temporary residence permit in Guangzhou and did not have a letter of introduction, he was forcibly sent to a local shelter by the police. He was brutally beaten by staff and other sheltered people and died.)

In the early 1980s, transportation was still extremely inconvenient. Sun Shaoping took many buses to reach Xi'an Railway Station. He bought a train ticket to Beijing after providing a letter of introduction. After working as a private teacher for half a year, most of his savings were spent.

When the dark green train whirred out of Xi'an Railway Station like an old cow panting, "Sun Shaoping" knew that he would finally take the brave step of leaving his hometown for the dream in his heart.

It was my first time riding a train, my first time away from home, surrounded by strangers. Outside the window, the vast undulating loess hills and the looming mountains in the distance flew away all at once.

As his thoughts flew, "Sun Shaoping" felt infinite emotion in his heart, yet he was filled with the strength to move forward without fear of difficulties and obstacles.

My loved ones, my Xiaoxia, no matter how time passes, you will always be the home of my soul and the clarion call that urges me to move forward.
