In the 1970s, the family lived happily in East Germany. Mom, Dad, brother, and sister. Mom is a music teacher and Communist Party member in the school. They spend their holidays in holiday villas, frolicking. The older brother Alexander opened his shirt, and the T-shirt was printed with the space shuttle pattern.
In the 1970s and 1980s, our family lived happily in Cele County, Hotan Prefecture, Xinjiang. Mother, father, me, younger brother, and mother were the secretary of the Revolutionary Committee of Cele County and a member of the Communist Party. We live in a staff dormitory that is freely rationed by the public. Each family has an independent courtyard. There are two large houses and one small house. The floor is covered with blue bricks. After sprinkling water, there is a good smell. The windows are outside. The green aspen. The T-shirt I was wearing was printed with the Shaolin Temple pattern.
Our life is extremely simple and happy. The wooden furniture is made by the father himself, and the solid wood furniture is painted with simple colors, which is very beautiful. This is not the case for every family. Some people ask Zhejiang carpenters to make furniture for them. In one or two years, when we return to the mainland to visit relatives, the medical expenses will be reimbursed by the state. Every unit has a very large vegetable garden, which is only open to its own employees. Every evening, we carry baskets and pay 2 cents to the people who guard the vegetable garden. Then they can go in and pick vegetables freely. In the early 1980s, the cost of picking vegetables became 5 cents. Apart from that, we have no other expenses.
My mother’s father was an old Communist who participated in the revolution in 1936. He came to Xinjiang in 1956 with the migration of the prison system, where he was beaten as a traitor. But even so, when my mother just turned 18, He joined the party. I joined the Young Pioneers in the second grade, because I didn't join in the first grade, which embarrassed my mother.
My mother taught me to recite Tang poems and let me read "Contemporary", "Spring Breeze", "Sui and Tang Dynasty". My mother told us that other people’s things are not allowed. If you have money, you must go far and be honest. Irresponsible and loveless sex is filthy and filthy. She may not know what changes she has done and the foreshadowing she has laid will cause in the future.
In 1978, Alexander's father fled to West Germany and lived with another woman. The police had a long conversation with his mother, Christina. From then on, she put all her energy into her work. From then on, she has never loved anything other than this country, the party, and her children.
In the 1980s, someone had a long conversation with her mother, and her mother needed to explain clearly what she did in the 60s and 70s. She couldn't accept it. She put all of her energy into her work, except for the country, the party, and her family. She loved nothing else. Grandpa took her and our family back to the mainland.
We live in the countryside, and my mother learns to use Tukang, and learns to fight with village women. All the things she experienced, all the people she came into contact with, were things she had never experienced before. We get up early every day, cross the river, cross the railway, walk the mountain road, and go to school. All the people and things we have experienced are things that we have never experienced before.
In the late 1980s, Alexander participated in the parade and was taken away by the police. His mother happened to pass by. After witnessing all this, he fainted on the spot and fell into a coma.
In 1992, when I was admitted to the university, my mother was found to be sick, and she was in bed ever since.
From 1989 to 1990, when my mother was in a coma, the Berlin Wall was demolished and East and West Germany merged. In 1990, my mother woke up. She didn't know that she had slept for so long, and she didn't know anything about the changes outside.
From 1992 to 1999, my mother was ill in bed, and her world has stagnated ever since. She was dismissed by her relatives and rejected by the world. Apart from the television and playing cards, she knew nothing about the changes outside. She also often said: "How can this be done? This is not in compliance with the work procedures, this is not in compliance with the organization's regulations."
The mother who woke up again had an extremely fragile heart. The doctor said that she could not stand any irritation. Alexander was unwilling to let her mother know the truth, and she was unwilling to let her mother's years of faith collapse overnight. He was determined to hold on to the great wheel of the times, and let their 72 square meter small apartment stay in the night before the great change. The already decorated apartment must be re-decorated back to its original appearance, in the trash can and escape from the east. In the empty apartments left by the German people, they found discontinued foods, pickles, peas, wine, or similar foods from capitalist countries, packed them into packages for their mothers to eat. People in the family must wear plain, outdated clothes, and the little niece must also use plastic diapers instead of Western European diapers. There is also a street party group meeting at home. The members are the unemployed and drunk old people in the street. The young pioneers in my mother’s previous class were also hired by Alexander with 20 marks to visit her mother and sing past songs for her mother. . My mother still needs to watch the news. Alexander and his genius friend Dennis, who is dreaming of a director, create East German news for her mother. In the news, East Germany is flourishing, and the people of West Germany continue to come to East Germany. He does not necessarily agree with her beliefs, but respects her beliefs, knowing how important beliefs are to a person.
The mother lying in bed has nothing to pay attention to except her own illness. She also dreams that her illness can be cured, she can return to society, can go to relatives’ house to make dumplings, hug her nephew, nor Will be pushed away. Fortunately, she has past medical insurance and can be reimbursed for some money. Even so, the part that we need to bear is beyond our imagination. We are reluctant to tell her about our situation. One of my younger brothers may be in the underworld and the other is unemployed. I am a road maintenance worker. She is heartbroken about this: "How can the country train a college student to be a road maintenance worker!"
I got Opportunity, leave home, get a very low salary, often half-hungry, but you don’t need to dig sand. She has been sick for so many years and knows nothing about external prices. She thought that with 100 yuan, she could live in a big city for a month. She asked us how we were, and we all said, "It's fine."
His mother was in a coma again and was admitted to the hospital. Alexander found his father and took him to the hospital to see his mother. And produced the last news program, and it was the National Day feature. In the program, the first astronaut of East Germany became the head of state, announcing the demolition of the Berlin Wall and the acceptance of the West German people under the evil capitalist system. At the same time, fireworks were suddenly set off outside the ward, illuminating the entire night sky and the entire ward. Three days later, when his mother passed away, Alexander put her mother's ashes into the model of the space shuttle, lit the fuse, and launched it into the night sky.
My mother was in a coma for the last time and was admitted to the hospital. For the last 3 days, she muttered to herself: "The worst... the poorest... the most hated... the worst... The...the poorest." But on the last day, she said: "The favorite... the favorite... the favorite." What is her favorite? ? I thought about her life experience, but I didn't think about it. Maybe it's the golden age in Xinjiang? Because, in the photos at that time, she was wearing braids, smiling happily in the orchard, on the tractor, next to the sprayed sluice, and in front of the gate of the Soviet architectural style Revolutionary Committee.
Alexander and his father, sister, brother-in-law, will continue to live, they believe that their motherland is better.
My father, brother, and I will continue to live, and we believe that our lives will be better.
Other than that, we don't believe in anything else. A long, long time ago, people in this country, like doing chemotherapy, were killed all the cells of faith and replanted with new and beautiful beliefs. To live is our only faith at this moment.
With this belief, we have accepted the slow-coming great changes. Every night we pass, we must be prepared for something new to happen after waking up. Such great changes are reasonable. It will not let any of us. When a person is destroyed by a sudden stimulus, falls into a coma, or loses the courage to live, it slowly comes and makes us gradually become extremely tough, so that even if we migrate to Mars, we can try to live, survive, and gradually become Our only faith at the moment. We are entrapped, staggered in the torrent of the times, sometimes a little anxious, a little white-hot suffocation, but there is no time to study, there is a desire, there is no time to settle, a little bit of contemplation, we can not keep up with the advancing crowd . This process is painful and necessary. Perhaps, one day, everything will settle down. Our life can be peaceful, beautiful, full of fragrance, rich in beauty, and full of "humanistic care", but we may not be able to wait for that world.
Survival is our only belief at this moment. The Chinese are the strongest.
