Chapter 5 Nostalgia, nostalgia!

Looking at the food my mother left for me, it was like seeing a relic, and I cried even more sadly.From the moment I sent my mother away, I realized that my childhood was over... From the end of 1987 to the summer of 1989, Deng Ping, the coach of the Sichuan provincial team, came to Chongqing to select seedlings. I was lucky to be a member of the provincial team for training. The man who went to the West Gate back then felt the ups and downs of life after leaving his hometown, while I suffered the first shock of my diving career after sunrise. The first thing I felt deeply was nostalgia.Homesickness is a kind of illness. Yu Guangzhong, the most "sick" Taiwanese writer, pinned all his homesickness on a small postage stamp.I don't have such strong comprehension and control, and I almost lost myself in front of this strange city of Chengdu.

The mother is worried when the son travels thousands of miles.Before leaving Chongqing, my mother packed things for me over and over again, "Liangliang, mom can't go with you this time, because mom has to work. Mom will come to see you in a week. Promise mom, be a strong What a man!" Mom said thoughtfully while touching my head.As an inexperienced me, I can't understand this kind of emotion, "Don't worry, it's not the first time I've left home. Just remember to come and see me as soon as possible!" So, I was alone, with an old wooden box and a few simple clothes, so I embarked on the road of wandering around the world alone.

After a 12-hour train ride, I arrived at the Sichuan Provincial Diving Team. I first reported to a coach named Du Huiying, got a bowl and a plate, and went to the dormitory. I lived a collective life.It feels like I have entered a whole new world, and every face around me is unfamiliar.I'm not a good dancer in this world, so I throw myself into the dark early. The days away from home are so hard!The day I left home was Sunday, but after only three days I felt miserable.I was listless in everything I did, and even felt that I couldn't live anymore.I was going crazy in my heart, and I almost couldn't help it, and yelled out.I know that I miss my mother and miss home.

But in that environment, this kind of emotion cannot be expressed easily, and my peers will definitely snub me or even laugh at me.Said that your child is really worthless, and you can't stand it just after leaving home.I am not a particularly cheerful person, and I cannot tolerate the contempt of my friends. Barely sustain until the 4th day, Thursday.During the day, I had classes at the elementary school next to the provincial team, and in the afternoon, after training, everyone was doing their homework in the dormitory. I cried as I wrote.Friends are very strange, no one bullies you.I had no choice but to choke and said, "I don't know why, it's just very uncomfortable, and I'll be fine in a while."

This reason seems too weak.As a result, the roommates began to list various reasons, but there was no correct answer.But the more enthusiastic they were about trying to help me out, the more upset I was. At this time, a child shouted in a shrill voice: "He misses his mother!" Before the words fell, the emotions I had accumulated over the past few days immediately collapsed.I couldn't bear it anymore, rushed out the door, and cried all day long. This is the saddest cry I can remember.I also don't understand, I have left home before, why this time I cried so heartbreakingly?

This Sunday, my mother came as scheduled, and I was finally looking forward to it.Looking at my haggard face, anxious eyes, and the pile of dirty clothes on the bed, my mother understood.With a sore heart, she turned her head to the side. That time, my mother stayed for a few more days for the first time, accompanied me, and took me to the mall to buy delicious food.Before leaving, she helped me wash my clothes all morning.At the train station, she said to me, "Son, don't blame your mother for being cruel, you have grown up. Since you like diving so much, you have to go through the wind and rain yourself!"

Tears welled up in my eyes again.Back in the dormitory, looking at the food my mother left for me, it was like seeing a relic, and I cried even more sadly. I can't imagine, how will I live without my mother in the future?I don't know any diving moves, how can I gain a foothold in the strong Sichuan team?How should I face all kinds of human affairs. After so many years, I left Chongqing, Shaanxi, and went abroad to compete again and again.But no matter how busy I am, I will call home and say I am safe.The love for the homeland hidden deep in my heart has become the driving force for me to move on.

That is to say, from the moment I sent my mother away, I found that my childhood was over!
