853. The mountains are painted with clear smoke, and the ancient city is dyed by white snow (10)
"How is it?" Lao Bai seemed to have never heard Dong Qiangqiang's words at all, "I mean, class."
Lao Bai didn't explain the reason for the two quarrels at the first time, which made Dong Qiangqiang feel bad: Lao Bai had just experienced a marriage and knew better how to deal with the opposite sex. Besides, today was Christmas Eve, so beautiful and romantic
Why do the two still quarrel at night? Could it be that what Lao Bai just reminded him was not groundless?
Although Dong Qiangqiang didn't want to admit it, for a moment, his curiosity exceeded his worries, but he also knew very well that he could not ask questions in detail and further down. Even for buddies, he still had to have the distance and sense of proportion.
If Lao Bai wants to share with him, Lao Bai will take the initiative to say that since the other party has changed the subject, he can only go along with the rampant. However, Dong Qiangqiang originally planned to talk to Lao Bai about his current confusion, so Lao Bai asked this
It saves him from laying the groundwork like Xianglin Sao.
"It's different from what I think, many of them don't understand."
"When will the final exam be? Is the time coming?"
"The specific time has not yet been released, but I estimate that classes will be possible in February and March, after all, the summer semester will begin at the end of March."
"Are you afraid?" Lao Bai asked teasedly.
"I'm afraid, but I don't know when I will graduate. Do you know? Now I'm starting to envy you, Lele, and Duanmu from the bottom of my heart."
"On the last time you said Trier gave you the feeling of 'promising and cruel'. Is this still the same feeling now?"
"It's limited to better than before, and there's still pessimism."
"What pessimism?" Lao Bai smiled.
"Confused, anxious." Dong Qiangqiang admitted honestly with his fingers, "It's mainly these two. Zheng Chunhua thinks I may have mild depression."
"You are mildly depressed at the beginning of your life, so you won't be severe at the advanced stage?" Lao Bai looked unbelievable, "And when you were in Hannover, you were full of fantastic ideas and always could do it.
I didn't see that you were depressed at that time."
"Maybe I am what you said there," Dong Qiangqiang shook his head and smiled bitterly, "but since he came here, everything seems to have changed, and all the things you said seem to have disappeared at once."
"You are already an adult and should have the basic ability to analyze and change unfavorable situations." Lao Bai said seriously, "Are you still expecting others to help you analyze and change?"
"I didn't expect anyone, I was just not sure my analysis of myself was correct."
"Just remember one thing: no one can be sure of what is right for you except yourself, and even your parents are not good at it, you are the only one, so you must believe in yourself, even if your analysis is wrong,
At that time, you must also believe and persevere." Lao Bai added confidently, "Just as you thought it was the right thing to save me, only you believe in this for so many people, right? Is it because you got others?
Can you save me by your support or certainty?”
Dong Qiangqiang sucked Lao Bai's words and felt thoughtful on his face.
"Actually, your confusion and anxiety are just one sentence: no one tells you how to study, so you are confused and don't know what to do." Lao Bai said quietly.
These words were whipped on Dong Qiangqiang's face like a whip. He didn't expect Lao Bai to point them out so mercilessly.
He tried to defend himself, but after scraping his stomach, he only sprinkled with a few words filled with powerlessness: "Your words are so cruel."
"But the truth."
"You did this before? And others did it?"
"Although I read music, unlike you who study liberal arts, it is not easy than you. Art exams are sometimes even more difficult than yours, because there are many unquantifiable knowledge points. For example, they are all played by Beethoven.
Even if my voice is good, my German classmates and even Austrian and Polish classmates have higher grades than me. I ask if I don’t understand music works properly. What should you do if you encounter this? Is it just that anxiety and confusion are useful?"
"I'll go..." Dong Qiangqiang was amazed, "Then how did you live in the end?"
"How else can I live? Just fight to the death with all the ways I can think of."
"Try to the death with all the ways you can think of..." Dong Qiangqiang recalled Lao Bai's words and secretly guessed that Lao Bai's hair had turned white at that time.
After a long time, Lao Bai suddenly spoke again: "I'll ask you, tell the truth. Have you ever thought about giving up?"
"You mean I don't want to read it anymore and I'll go back to China?"
Lao Bai nodded.
"Then I never thought about it. After all, I have suffered a lot to get to where I am today. How could I give up so easily? It's impossible." Dong Qiangqiang decisively denied.
"Look back."
Dong Qiangqiang looked back and saw a brightly lit Christmas market not far behind him. The light and shadow were not as prosperous as in Germany, but more like a bustling street in China.
"Look at the front again." Lao Bai said again.
Dong Qiangqiang turned his head. Although the end of the alley was not as bright as the Christmas market behind him, he could still vaguely see the colorful lights.
Only he is standing now and it is dark and dark.
"If one day you really can't continue to study and want to give up, remember that your future and retreat are bright. Whether you grit your teeth and persevere or give up quickly, it's okay. Graduation is not the only one in life.
It is released, as long as you think you are worthy of yourself, the opinions of others are not important. There is only one thing that matters, that is, before you give up, you must ask yourself whether you have used all methods to overcome difficulties. If not, then
You will definitely regret it in the future. I hope you would rather hate than regret it."
After Lao Bai said that, he continued to walk forward. Dong Qiangqiang turned his head again and looked back. It seemed that a flame rose in his heart. Although the flame was not big, it was extremely bright.
Before they knew it, the two walked to a fork in the alley. Before they could completely pass, someone suddenly spoke in the shadow on the other side of the fork: "Merry Christmas! Gentlemen!"
Although Dong Qiangqiang didn't stay in Trier for long, his daily chat with the landlord made him instantly hear the other party's standard Trier accent.
With the dim light, Dong Qiangqiang saw a sloppy young man sitting and lying lazily against the red brick wall. The collar of the gray-green coat stood proudly, not knowing that it was frozen.
It has not been washed hard for a long time, with patches on his pants, and the front end of a shoe is open, revealing the toes inside. He is surrounded by rice bowls, guitars, and sleeping bags, and other personal belongings, without exception.
A person feels dirty. He is curled up by his legs, with a huge body with smooth hair. Dong Qiangqiang and Lao Bai not only did not let out a low roar when they approached, but they did not even raise their heads, and they looked very well-behaved.
There are many homeless people in Germany, and Dong Qiangqiang is no longer surprised, but the homeless man in front of him surprised him, because although the other party begged, his face was rosy, his apple skin was full, and his skin was tight. It seemed that his age was not much older than Dong Qiangqiang.
And the homeless people he saw were mostly older people.
"God bless you to slide smoothly until next year!" While the homeless man said auspicious words, he pushed a black piggy bank with only a few steel inside toward Dong Qiangqiang and Lao Bai. The piggy bank slid on the ground and sent out a while
The harsh metal sound sounds sound quite desolate in the middle of the night.
"Why is he begging here?" Dong Qiangqiang felt puzzled. If the homeless man was an elderly or disabled person, he would have thrown a few more pieces of melons, but seeing that the other person is so young and has a healthy limbs,
I suddenly felt contempt in my heart.
"Many homeless people in Germany are not wandering because they are poor." Lao Bai ignored the homeless people and pulled Dong Qiangqiang to continue walking forward.
"Because of being lazy?"
“Because of different life philosophy.”
"Lack is laziness, can it also be mentioned that "life concepts are different"?" Dong Qiangqiang was speechless. "They have so many job opportunities. Even if they don't like to sit in the office, they still have a lot of hourly workers of 400 euros per month. Besides, he has
He has legs and looks like a German. It is impossible that he can't find a job like us, right? Why isn't he better than begging?"
"You think it's hard for him to sleep in the open and homeless. Maybe the monthly relief for him will be hundreds (Euros) or even more, not poorer than you and me."
"I don't do anything in a month, and I'll have so much money to sit and eat and wait for death? If you want to say that it's a bad thing for a capitalist country, I also want to do nothing in a month to get hundreds of euros in vain." He has gone a long way, Dong Qiangqiang endured
He turned around and looked at the direction of the homeless man, "I still feel that those who don't work can't eat. He thinks so young, but he is getting something for nothing and has no future."
"He thinks begging is meaningful, and his life does not need to be recognized by you." Lao Bai corrected, "Just like you think education is useful, I work all day for money because these are what we think are meaningful."
Things have nothing to do with what others think. How to spend your life meaningfully is the most important thing, and it’s better to take care of others’ affairs.”
Only then did Dong Qianqiang hear Lao Bai beating him around the bush. He stopped and followed Lao Bai, silently walking towards the bank ahead.
