Give her one dream, light first fire (1)
7 will it be summer vacation that year such as year old such as daughter, I take her Harvard University go on a pilgrimage. Jumped to the statue of Harvard, she said with straight and upright body: "Pass for 10 years, I am not small while coming again! "
The ideal that parents have not realized oneself is placed on child, is very natural and bright hope. Hope and ideal that the ancestors fail to realize oneself are placed on body of future generation, encourage and help them to go in order to accord with the scientific law and society's normal method hard, go to struggle, go to realize the pursuit to culture and education, the pursuit to science and technology, to the pursuit of bright and rich life, just have progress of human civilization, just have development of the society of today. This is exactly what family and the society bright and future hope is all about.
There should be a dream in life, there is no harm in giving children a dream, a goal, let them have one's own pursuit. Light one fire in the mind of child, let it burn, become oneself hard, interior power that struggle - -This designs most important first step in life.
Come on summer vacation 3 years later of U.S.A., our three people of one family and the Li 's of good friend, go up north by car, has gone on the longest travel after beauty. Via main city being as follows, a dozen cities such as Capital Washington, Philadelphia, Atlantic City, New York, Detroit, Chicago and Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto of Canada. The journey amounts to more than 3 weeks, more than 6 000 kilometers.
We were very excited while leaving, sing heartily and leave all the way, have a taste of the enchanting sights of U.S.A., Canada on the way, in ecstasies. But meaning when it is drunk since it is in my journey old man in " Harvard " ,Hold and take daughter to go on a pilgrimage, watch Harvard, the tree monument in her mind, setting up the idea of lofty ideal.
Harvard, just dreamt of in my mind 30 years ago. In the old edition book collected from bookcase under my father's bed, can often see the shade of Harvard. Except that one the president, one celebrity come from Harvard, a lot of may not leave a good name the century-old successful personages, man of the hour all come from Harvard too. Over the years, Harvard, just dreams of; In fact, even if not been in the dream either, after all, too remote.
However, after the several decades, dream, come U.S.A. is quickly close much from Harvard the same, I make, blow Harvard dream unexpectedly. Moreover, in domestic the same good friend little You of research institute, study for doctor already more than two years in Harvard with me, he often sends a telegram here and urges me to go to Harvard to meet each other.
In fact, dare, dream of that thing in the past, whole family reach U.S.A. since, Harvard this dream begin, have, stand up silently. I often say to the daughter:
"Harvard is the best school in the whole world, you will go to Harvard. "
"Study hard, go to Harvard later. "
"Go Harvard, I want, let you Harvard, must go to Harvard! "
Say repeatedly changing dozens of kinds of styles, toss about, it is that that " goes to Harvard " .
The ideal that parents have not realized oneself is placed on child, is very natural and bright hope. Hope and ideal that the ancestors fail to realize oneself are placed on body of future generation, encourage and help them to go in order to accord with the scientific law and society's normal method hard, go to struggle, go to realize the pursuit to culture and education, the pursuit to science and technology, to the pursuit of bright and rich life, just have progress of human civilization, just have development of the society of today.
Place one's own immature dream on child, say that " hope to place on you " to them Never ashamed. In fact, exactly emancipate the mind, appeal for " reform and opening-up " ,With thinking and norm of internationalization, let, down a generation make more efforts, study, work, struggle, go to the world, participate in the competition, realize ideal and goal that the older generation has not realized, the ones that just cause China today are prosperous and powerful. Is not this exactly what family and the society bright and future hope is all about? !
That kind does not place the hope, as to the thing that ideal and hope that oneself can't be realized on child, think child can realize either, require and encourage they to go method that realize pessimistic, in fact it is a kind of pessimistic, passive self- anaesthesia.
I was at home in the past, dreamt of going abroad, but did not dare to let people know, prepared the application material and went on furtively, afraid of being preceded by by others " Going abroad fan " "spoil name " .
Reach U.S.A. now, I dream of, let daughter Harvard, at the beginning, do not even dare to shout, afraid of shouldering " The fan in Harvard " Laugh at name. However, it take daughter see whether it is always on Harvard can with.
The gentleman walks in a circle in Harvard University taking us two, come to statue of Harvard to stop particularly. Establishing the bronze statues of handsome John Harvard in front of the administrative building of Harvard University. Carving 3 lines of words on the base where Harvard seated statue is tall and big:
" John Harvard "
" founder "
" 1638 years "
It is said, unexpectedly has hidden " 3 famous lies " in these 3 lines of words . 10 year later, return to I by Harvard,it it is be several crowds of out of admiration for the reputation to trail several times to pilgrim, find no matter Harvard student or travel agency guide, afford to dwell upon with great relish always .
First, the statue according to John Harvard look sculpture of me, because Harvard has never left photos to give to the descendant, while building the statue later, have to send for a handsome youth and act temporarily as models. Second, though Harvard University is named after Harvard, but I am not a founder of the school in John Harvard, just Harvard, as an executive chairman of Charles city, donated one's own half property and 260 books to the school that year. In order to commemorate him, rename the school named Cambridge University of this predecessor as " Harvard University " . Third, it was 1636 that Harvard built the school, but not 1638 years.
However, in any case, Harvard is Harvard.
Harvard is not a dream, we have come into the Holy Land that can only see in the dream in the past.

Section 14 Scarecrow (3) crying
Not for a moment, Lin Yan comes over slowly by bike, I far wave towards her, some are surprised to stop the car that she wears, though has not spoken, that expression in one's eyes is asking whether I have something.
Being a bit shy, I know that it is really a bit towering to block and put her at the roadside like this.
"I think you can't remember who I am. "
Lin Yan has smiled: "How can, you helped me in the night, I remember completely. "
I shake the head, the eyebrow peak is wrinkled a little: "What I said is not the thing of the the night, you do not really remember, a lot of years ago, we were once very intimate friends. "
Forest gaudy to take words out of the mouth quite a while this time, she keep watch on I, expression in one's eyes some fear still.
--Why does she fear? Has she already remembered what it is?
"Certainly I do not require you to remember quickly, however, if we were really once friends, can not remember now, the regret that it is very one that this is not? " I say.
Lin Yan does not speak, is staring at me staring blankly.
"I do not know that on earth where to go wrong, this will often present some things that we can't understand in the world. I once forgot all of that section of memory like you, until having one day, I have met you again, I had once had a section of stories to have no doubt between us, however, I can't remember all details. So, I hope you give me a chance, give yourself a chance. "
"How do you want me to do? " The expression Lin Yan has already been releived.
"I hope you can give me a little time, let us recall the past event carefully. Two people are recalling together, certainly eager to excel in whatever one more does than a person. " I hesitate, say " will it be six o'clock this evening, I will wait for you in fragrant front yard music kitchen at the Luis then. You come off duty five o'clock, stop over other thing, go fragrant front yard way need time for less than 45 minutes probably come off duty, but you will late to leave office one quarter usually, so in the six o'clock, you can get to the music kitchen certainly. "
Lin Yan has opened eyes wide: "How could you know I go out at one quarter at night every day? "
I have shaken the head: "Perhaps there are answers all these tonight. "
Lin Yan thinks, nods very heavily, when she leaves, also take some smile in sight. I saw her figure disappear in the sight, suddenly felt a bit gloomy. Lin Yan's last smile is thought of by me perhaps she has not really remembered anything, she regarded me as one to man which she entertained a certain idea, if I told her, perhaps she only regards it as a man to use for the means to attract the woman.
I can't help feeling dejected, feeling some helplessness.
Today, I must go to the hospital, headache is still tormenting me, I must find a kind of method which radically treats it. Fantastic blood vessel headache, I suspect it is after being fit that time, oppression of a certain blood vessel has reached the nerve in the brain, medication and physical treatment can't cure this kind of persistent ailment. I the doctor in charge advise me find time, go the psychiatric department see, a doctor has created a kind of consciousness treatment there, perhaps can do me a favor.
At six o'clock in the evening, I sit in the hall of the music kitchen on time. Music kitchen house style graceful restaurant, fit up person that style can let for the first time coming in think enter teahouse. I have especially chosen a seat which faces the window, so, if Lin Yan comes, I can find her at once.
It gradually black, at the the beginning such as light, night beautiful to let woman of street make the beauty stand up too. This is late I have noticed that there are so many women beautiful in this city, looking from afar over far, they are all so dignified and beautiful, beautiful and moving, they have quite a lot with Lin Yan alike somewhat, I regard woman who the single life walked as the forest swallow several times.
I have stayed in the music kitchen for three hours. The doctor can't drink while advicing me, but I want to drink some beer to trouble greatly, so, I ask the waiter to bring a bottle of beer. "I have headache, can't drink, but I want to drink some, drink one bottle. " I explain with the waiter.
In the nine o'clock, dining table of me stand in great numbers ten more than empty wine bottle already.
The dim light of night becomes warm because of the shining of neon, those women with limitless conditions and customs separate a layer of glass only with me, break the glass, what story can I take place with among them nobody perhaps. When I think like this, a bit disappointed in the heart, still some hate oneself. Because I know I have not broken the courage of the glass forever, I can only far watch the scenery outside attentively, regard oneself as an outsider.
Yan Lin to accept invitation of me, she so beautiful woman, will certainly round man such as the a lot of I at one's side. I helped her once only in some when being special, the one left is chance encounter two times in the lift, I grow extravagant hope out to her, this is actually a very mean trace.
I finish drinking a bottle of beer finally, while standing up, think some walls rock.
I have drunk so much wine, I was a little angry with waiter when checking out. I tell her obviously I can not drink, but she connives at me and drinks so much. I go out toilet once, the cold water is splashed on the face, the slight chill in the air suddenly makes me much more sober.
Having gone to the outside to block a taxi, the driver asks where I have gone, I have thought, say the Tang name of wind district.
Get back to the house rented, I am too impatient to turn on the computer.
I have seen that man dandified in appearance, he sits on the sofa in the sitting room, complexion is stagnant, sight is staring at somewhere opposite, or say a word not speaking and revealing one's feelings, Lin Yan having it moves more excitedly as you please. Lin Yan is really very excited tonight, two hands are still swung before the body ceaselessly when she speaks, been saying ceaselessly all the time, it seems to be narrating something, and the picture is being complained about.
I have understood the reason why forest swallow did not go to the music kitchen tonight, it is that man dandified in appearance that lets me lose a chance, therefore I am full of him to hate.
My head has some little pains, I leave the computer, lie with the clothing in bed, attempt to let oneself calm down, and can remember more past events related to Lin Yan. My headache is that God is dozing off, therefore I can see some his things unwillings to let me see in aching. This is late I have seen a man, I am coming out with him from a pub. Pub it when on a side street, we came out has been already very late, almost there are no human footmarks on the street outside. I seemed to want to call a taxi with that man, stood at the roadside for a moment, saw later that there is no car to come, towards the going over directly of the side street.

Say honestly, while determining to use hair as the psychological role's main shaft, I am afraid a bit whether will take the wrong road or exaggerate the fact by oneself, how so has been thinking hard all the time to find the theoretical foundation really up to the mark for one's own argumentation. When I have told P&G sea for many years of cooperation such worry the silk group and assistance that try to seek them have flown, never expect, fly to silk work with rigorous research but famous sea group give I fully 12th National Congress case, actual consumer diary to exceed 800 more than always!
I have asked two children to spend more than one week finishing reading the diaries of all consumers with me. I must honest I know hair influence in psychology unexpectedly deep complicated than whom me imagine in fact say read, we several there is a earthquake, fear, move deeply content of diary, strengthen me write the motive and enthusiasm of book even more too certainly.
All right, can talk about 3 heroines and their friends in the book at last now, someone asks me curiously: "Are they your friends? Why do I have it as the once similar feeling? ! "
Oh, yes, you will have it as the once similar feeling, or even had as the once similar experience. You may discover the peripheral friend or oneself, have a little Yang Qing's personal loyalty; Have a few wit of major parts; Unreasoning passion that has a little the 32nd; Sadly beautiful ones that have a little He Wei Role of book these like you and me small potato, live a ordinary people of the realistic society life, there are happiness, anger, grief and joy of common people usually, there are fuel,rice,oil and salt and basic daily necessities of the ordinary household too. Because too just because theirs is ordinary and true, we can find the evidence of life or life from their story.
If you ask me again, write this book, what do I really want to transmit?
If you permit my expression here, if my ordinary years experience has some reference value, I want to say, what I wanted to express is - -Life meaning that ' broken callus lives again '.
Because in every case intelligent person with capacity, is trussed up by the some so-called yokes more or less, it may come from the social norm; May come from the experience of growing up; May come from school education; May come from the dim corner unknown by the people in the heart of hearts too.
Some are confined, urge and standardize our behavior, it is what we must follow and bear; Some are confined, but has influenced our fondness of oneself, has prevented us from enjoying the life, even limit for one's own latent energy.
So, I want to make use of 3 protagonists to go through the experience that end live again of the life to the broken callus tired out, encourage oneself, encourage reader too, let we even if unable it blue often, the fragrance of flowers is often overflowed, but can cherish the hope, optimistic forever.
Finally, the professional knowledge that all relevant hair were maintained, the dandruff maintained in this book, come from P&G P&G, the materials that the friend that especially the silk group flies in Head & Shoulders sea offered. Thank you here deeply.
In addition, I cut and pay attention to the still messy natural curly hair constantly directly innately by oneself, have eaten to many drillmasters' file leader while studying in the middle school. So beg the correct knowledge of asking P&G to offer relevant hair to maintain specially, appendix on behind,hope have the same to perplex one the friends get by help from it.

Actually have supper, they think may get rid of other people go to the outside to take a walk and then, but everybody has held a small meeting at the supper desk, discuss as to several schemes of playing. Hear from friend in Xinjiang river called mother river, people of Kuerle, - -the river of peacock is extremely beautiful, though not the journey that the touring party often goes, absolutely worth stopping and sampling. Spend the intensity of the brain capacity too loud work on ordinary days, perhaps, this came back in Xinjiang, everybody wanted to let oneself be precipitated in the nature quietly very much suddenly. So, listen to locals talking about the river of peacock and adopt unanimously and give up another beauty spot, not only can save the fatigued bitterness of vessel and vehicle be before putting into the large-scale meeting that will come soon, but also can so, let the river erode and wash netly.
A hundred leagues locked in ice winter in northern part of the country, ten thousand snow float, a lot of river sleep under ice sheet for winter, but the river of peacock not fearing the severe cold of winter is always radiating vitality, surging forward and crossing city, the hope that it seems to never stop. The river of peacock had a legend beautiful, it called drinking the river of horse originally according to legend, because the Hou 's of Dingyuan exceeded and drank horses here in the Eastern Han Dynasty, later, because often there is a peacock that flies and collects in the grove of this riverside, got this name beautiful of river of peacock.
What a suitable person of Wei sits down on the clean land of bank of the river, far look at Liu KaiZhong chatting with the colleague losting in thought. In peacock bank of the river he under the bright and beautiful sunshine, have meeting on ordinary days at the desk shrewd and capable; Not having last night, the passion under the old Chinese scholartree was warm; He who is present, cultured and self-confident, even what Wei sees and has a little disagreeable proud postures of Ju in the past - -The station sloping after two hands are leant inserting trousers bag, body against slightly, all become goodlooking and pleasing to the eye too.

What Wei expresses one's gratitude to Liu KaiZhong courteously at first: "Really thank your company, ate these days, also drank, also played, dipped in every much light! "
Liu KaiZhong is waiting to speak, Xiao Li says vying for: "If really want the thanks, then should thank President Liu. In fact funds that the company gives to us are limited, are much all that President Liu paying the bill by oneself! "
Model Liu getting pleasant to the ear Haha, smile: "All right! It seems that here has already been turned into the conference of expressing gratitude to now. I, must thank Mr. He, because there is her having the honour of joining, our travel becomes more colorful and more colourful. " Then what Wei he turns round to stare at, say sincerely: "With you, we are really very happy these days. "
He Wei knows what he spoke is sincere words. Until stockaded village lay embrace and kiss, will it be starlit night the night in Rob people, heart of her seem, can experience his heartbeat and temperature already.
Wait for plane, Wei He receive message that send in the model Liu in Urumchi airport terminal building, writing: ' want to go back to Beijing with you very much. After you have left, I find the sunshine of Xinjiang follows to go too! Have a good rest on the plane! take care! ' .
Wei He in that airport wait short 40 more than minute, watch the message have ten the amount of time of counting fully, she believes, expects the love for a long time has already come lightly by oneself.
As the plane will reach the Capital Airport soon, while beginning to drop the low latitude and fly over the urban area of Beijing slowly, He Wei looks at the beautiful prospect of a city in the evening under the foot, is thinking since 18 years old, it takes 13 years so far, Beijing, the place that this calendar horbors towards the emperor, laugh heartily in youth of bearing the weight of her, bear the weight of sad deep sorrow of her too, pregnant with the land that she grew up hereto, no matter spend the remaining years till death in this in the future, she is except having one's heart filled with gratefully, mountains and rivers life, local conditions and customs to it, know each other on the heart forever.
