In the 1970s.
Lao Li hobbled in the ice and snow, and the snow tired to his knees forced him to pull out his numb legs with all his strength and step into the next pit. This is like the bad luck he is facing now: he has just experienced the criticism of the Cultural Revolution, his reputation has been discredited, his literary talent has nowhere to play, and others have avoided it, but it can still be counted as a life; But now, there is really no food at home. Do you really want to see your mother, wife and children starve because of being implicated? Snowflakes swept in the wind, dense and overwhelming, and there was no sign of this ill-dressed man. I don't know how long it took, but Lao Li's brim, collar and cuffs were covered with ice slag, and his whole body was wrapped in cold. But he didn't dare to stop, fearing that he would be buried in the endless snow because of a temporary relaxation. Despite the pain, Lao Li told himself: Don't give up, don't cry, believe in the country and believe that the party is still on the side of the people. So Lao Li wrapped his clothes and continued to walk to the other end of the snow.
Fortunately, Lao Zhang, Lao Li's comrade-in-arms, used the savings and food stamps of his family of five to solve Lao Li's urgent needs and save their lives.
In the 1990s.
The Dalijia family is dozens of kilometers away from the middle school in the town. In that poor little village, there is not even such a luxury as a bicycle. And this seemingly scary mountain road was walked back and forth by this strong boy for six years. At home, I can't afford kerosene lamps, so Da Li studies at school and doesn't want to go home until the switch is turned off every night. When he got home, his family had fallen asleep at midnight. But at 5 o'clock, before dawn, Dali had to get up quickly, grab some cold steamed buns from the drawer cage and go to school as food for the day. In the past six years, except for the Chinese New Year, Da Li can hardly eat with his family.
No matter how hard and tired he is, no matter how lazy he wants to be, he doesn't want to drop out of school. Because he knows that only by studying can he change his family and his own destiny. He believes that the country will give him this opportunity, and he believes that as long as he works hard, he is entitled to happiness.
It is such a poor but stubborn rural boy who was successfully admitted to Beijing Public Security University with the first place in the college entrance examination in Heilongjiang Province. Four years later, he was assigned to work in a big city. After years of fighting, all 30 relatives of their hometown in Northeast China were taken back to their own cities and settled down in life and work.
2 1 century 10 year.
Xiao Li's family is well-off, more than enough. She used to think that she didn't do well enough, but until that day, she saw the atlas. In the picture, there is a large area of ground cracked by drought in the northwest, and the peasant woman squatting next to her looks at the farmland that once relied on for a living and now has no food to cry about; An ordinary mineral water bottle is placed on the dilapidated wooden table, but it is not pure mineral water, but water with turbid color and many impurities, and such a bottle of water is indeed all the water used by this family in one day; In the Iraq war, a scrawny black child hung his head and put his hands on a surprisingly round belly. He tearfully said that he didn't want his stomach to be blown up, but at this time he had lost his life ... The pain, sadness and powerlessness loaded in these thin papers made Xiao Li feel how dissatisfied he was. Regardless of this, even around us, people will still worry about normal meals every day, and anything on the table may be unhealthy. But it doesn't matter. Xiao Li has seen the continuous progress and changes of the motherland over the years, and how many people have benefited and changed their destiny under the leadership of the national government and policies. She believes that as long as we believe in ourselves and our country, everyone's life will be as happy as we expect.
Lao Li is my grandfather, Da Li is my father and Xiao Li is me.
Grandpa said that those days were really hard. He even said that he wanted to end his life but could not give up this big family. What ultimately supported him was his own dream: Grandpa hoped that the "Cultural Revolution" at that time would end as soon as possible, that China would restore order, that * * * would implement correct policies, that the children would grow up healthily. I couldn't help crying when I was talking. Dad said he couldn't even believe that those six years were his real experience. Looking back, it was a sad dream-chasing history written by a rural child with his own unyielding. At that time, my father wanted to cherish the college entrance examination system restored after the Cultural Revolution. Since he can succeed as long as he works hard, what's wrong with trying to get rid of poverty and helplessness and let his family live a better life as a man? He really doesn't want to watch his parents worry about the way out for his brothers and sisters. I don't want my next generation to make the same mistake. I saw this steely man secretly wiping the tears from the corner of his eyes.
If it were not a dream, many people would have given up, given up the pillar in their hearts and chose to crawl at the foot of cruel reality. How can the country have a future? And I, after 90 s and 00 s, which day is not living in the dream of the older generation? However, the happiness at your fingertips has become the spiritual support of some children who are not enterprising and ambitious. The reason why grandpa and dad crossed the layers of thorns and started their own lives is because they always have unshakable dreams as sharp weapons to resist the boulders and turbulent rapids in reality. As masters of the times, we are much happier than the previous generation, and there will be no great obstacles in pursuing our dreams. What's the excuse for being muddled without faith? You know, all dreams are based on faith. In the dream, Lao Li and Da Li did not give up their families, their pursuit of happiness and their trust in their motherland. Therefore, their dreams have come true.
Now, the country provides a more harmonious social environment for us to realize our dreams. What reason do we have not to pursue our Chinese dream? Lao Li's dream is my dream, and so is Da Li's dream. Because whether it is Lao Li, Da Li or Xiao Li, each of us needs a firm Chinese dream in our hearts. This Chinese dream symbolizes that we have ideals, pursuits and courage not to bow to fate. I certainly hope that China will become stronger and stronger, regain its glory and return to its former glory; But before that, my first dream is that every Chinese descendant who grew up on the loess can be healthy, safe, dull and happy.
It's okay, it's okay. I have a dream. We all have dreams. With me and our generation, this peaceful and happy dream and Chinese dream will soon be no longer just a dream.
