Xia Yuan was born in Shanghai and was raised by his grandparents.

Since he was three years old, Xia Yuan rarely saw his parents.Parents are always coming and going.During the holidays, I occasionally saw them at home.The next day, after waking up, there was only the gift his parents bought for him beside the bed.

After Xia Yuan went to kindergarten, his grandfather picked him up every day.Grandpa loves Xiao Yuan very much, and is reluctant for him to walk more, so he often carries him on his back.In summer, in the bungalow area of ​​Jing'an Temple, the road is lined with lush sycamore trees, and the greenery is dense.On the way home, Xiao Yuan often fell asleep lying on his grandfather's back, and his saliva dripped down his neck.

When he was a child, Xia Yuan often listened to his grandmother talking about Xia’s father and Xia’s mother before going to bed. They were a pair of young diplomats who traveled overseas all the year round, wandering around the world.When Xia Yuan was born, Xia's father was in Europe far away, and when he named the child, he named him Xia Yuan.

There are no photos of my parents at home.Xia Yuan misses his parents. Grandpa will take Xia Yuan into the study, open the drawer with a key, take out a color photo, and tell Xiao Yuan that these are his parents.

At the age of seven, Xia Yuan spent the Spring Festival with his parents for the first time, and the old bungalow was extremely lively.For the first time, Xia Yuan acted like a normal child. He visited the Town God's Temple with his parents, ate rice cakes, and made small vegetable and meat wontons with his own hands.It's a pity that before the Spring Festival is over, a phone call in the middle of the night called my parents away again.Looking at the note left by his mother on the bedside table, Xia Yuan felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.The desire for love from his parents is buried deep in the heart of the young Xia Yuan.

Psychologically, Xia Yuan is an insecure child.Grandma and grandpa, after all, are old, and the love of parents is irreplaceable.

Due to the special nature of the work of Xia Yuan’s parents, starting from kindergarten, grandma and grandpa appear more frequently in the column of relatives that Xia Yuan filled out. In the column of parents, apart from the name symbol, the place of work is always “overseas”. word instead.

Xia Yuan, who was getting more and more sensible, even wondered if what was filled in this column were the real names of his parents?Also, why has no one in the family ever mentioned my father's family?The grandparents often mentioned by the children seem to have never appeared in Xia Yuan's place.

This kind of life continued until the age of ten.

One night, after my grandfather answered a phone call, he called my grandmother into the study and closed the door.When grandma came out, her eyes were red.In the next few days, grandma was always in a daze.Sometimes I would look at Xiao Yuan, not knowing what I was thinking, but my eyes were full of affection.

A month later, a few people came to the family and talked with grandpa and grandma for a long time in the study.Before leaving, he shook grandpa's hand heavily at the door.

In the evening, after Xia Yuan finished his homework, he was called into the study by his grandfather.

There was a small box on the table.Grandpa opened it, took out the color photo and handed it to Xia Yuan.

From the box, he took out a small box, opened it, and there were two medals in it.There is no name on the medal, and two sets of numbers are engraved on the back.

The ten-year-old Xia Yuan didn't know what this meant.Grandpa told him that his parents were working overseas and traveled far away, and they would not be able to return for a long time.

Since then, Xia Yuan has never seen his parents again.

As Xia Yuan grows up, he often thinks of his parents.I often pull my grandfather to open the box, look at the photos, and touch the two medals and the number on the back of the medal.

17 years old, after the college entrance examination.Xia Yuan's first choice was the Economics Department of Imperial University.Grandpa is very relieved when it comes to economics.But he disagreed with Xia Yuan going north.But Xia Yuan was very high-minded at that time, none other than Imperial University.

Before leaving, grandpa called Xia Yuan into the study.Talked to Xia Yuan about his parents for the first time.

"Xiaoyuan, I wanted to wait until after you, and then tell you. But you are going to study abroad tomorrow. I discussed it with your grandmother and decided to tell you in advance."

"Xiaoyuan's parents are unsung heroes. Seven years ago, they lost contact with the higher-level organization and suddenly disappeared. There has been no news of it."

On that day, Xia Yuan found out that his father's name was Xia Shinian and his mother's name was Liu Xuan.The Xia Jun and Liu Ying listed on the household registration of the family were later aliases.In order to protect them as well as Xia Yuan, the organization fabricated a new identity for Xia Yuan's parents.

After Xia Yuan grew up, he thought about his parents more than once.He had already faintly felt that his parents might be gone.But the longing for fatherly love and motherly love has always been buried in Xia Yuan's heart.
