Chapter 24 Chapter 24 Youth Like Fire

When he first arrived in Beijing, Xie Youpan felt as if he had entered a dream world.The spacious roads, beautiful street lamps, and majestic city gates and buildings here all make him feel relaxed and happy. The sunshine in Beijing is as bright as in a dream, and the air, flowers and plants are like a kind of gift to him.Everyone walking on the street, cadres, workers, farmers, elementary school students, and even the police, made him feel very friendly, as if they were smiling at him.The majestic Tiananmen Square, the benevolent portrait of Chairman Mao, the soldiers on guard, and the red flags fluttering everywhere made him truly feel the majesty of the capital.The sound of bicycles beeping, the strong Beijing accent of Beijing people, the neatly arranged trash cans on the street, and even a strong smell of sewers coming up from under your feet, to Xie Youpan, they are all "high-end" unique to big cities. ".His feet in new cloth shoes stepped on the ground of Beijing, like a revolutionary hero in a movie standing on top of a mountain.

Beijing City, I, Xie Youpan, are finally here! Beijing Law School was established twelve years ago. It is a school spelled out by a bunch of schools. The former Department of Law and Political Science of Beijing University of Political Science and Law, the former Department of Political Science of Tsinghua University, the former Department of Political Science of Yenching University, and the former Department of Sociology of Fu Jen Catholic University The major of social and civil affairs, the former Peking University is an integral part of it.The North China Administrative Committee also transferred a group of veteran cadres to serve as leading cadres at all levels.Last year, the college was under the leadership of the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of Higher Education. This year, it is said that it has been under the leadership of the Supreme People's Court.When the school was founded, it was on the side of Wusi Street in the sandy beach, next to the famous "Democracy Square". Later, it moved here, and it is now south of Huangtingzi, Tucheng, in the northwest suburb.The surroundings of the college are very desolate, and there is a section of earthen city wall in the north, and the earth will grow when the wind blows.This school was much shabby than he had imagined. Although he had never seen a more admirable institution, this university, which didn't even have a decent gate, was indeed far from the palace he had imagined.The school building does not occupy a large area, and the three solitary houses are at a regular distance, which looks a bit abrupt in the empty campus.Due to receiving the notification late, Xie Youpan had already missed the official registration time, and it was noon when he arrived at the school. Except for some janitors walking around, there were not many teachers and students in the campus.Xie Youpan was wrapped up with a few bundles, carrying them on his back and carrying them in his hands, sweating profusely from exhaustion, standing at the gate and looking around in panic, not knowing where to report, his face flushed with anxiety .

"Are you a freshman?" asked a quiet woman's voice.Xie Youpan hurriedly turned his head, and in a hurry, he turned back quickly. The inertia of the heavy burden dragged him around in a circle, but he didn't see the girl clearly.She let out a series of pleasant laughter, like the crisp birdsong in the woods. "I can tell you are a freshman at a glance. I don't know where to report, right? Why are you here so late?" When Xie Youpan finally saw her appearance clearly, he was stunned.This is the most beautiful girl he has ever seen in his life, her long hair is fluttering, her face is as white and tender as a pear that has just grown, her eyes are as bright as the stars in the night sky, her figure is like a reed in a pond So light.All the beautiful words he could imagine flooded into Xie Youpan's mind.At this time, the smile on her face is still there, that smile is like the lovely pear tree in the yard of her hometown.This unprecedented beauty hit Xie Youpan like a bullet, making his blood flow faster and his whole body weak, and the burden in his hands could hardly be lifted.He trembled and muttered a series of words that he couldn't understand clearly.

"Your Henan accent is so strong! Let me help you carry your luggage! The students are at the back, I'll take you there. What's your name? Which department do you belong to? Give me your luggage..." After a moment of hesitation, the girl had already snatched one of his burdens and left.As soon as she walked up, Xie Youpan finally recovered her normal heartbeat, and only then did she see her clothes from behind.She was wearing a gray cotton student uniform with a slightly wrinkled back, a pair of trousers of the same material underneath, and a pair of mille-soled cloth shoes on her feet like herself. The contrast is clear.

"Thank you, my name is Xie Youpan, and I haven't been assigned a department yet. What's your name? Are you also a freshman?" Xie Youpan finally spoke boldly. "My name is Jiang Nanyu. I'm one class higher than you, and I'm in the law department. We don't have any boys from Henan in our department yet. I don't know if you will be assigned." "It's good to share it..." Xie Youpan said unconsciously. "Huh?" Jiang Nanyu didn't seem to hear clearly. "Oh, it's nothing! Thank you for helping me! Why can't anyone be seen in the school? Are they all in class?" Youpan hurriedly covered up.

"Not all of them. More than half of the students were led by the leaders and went to the bottom to carry out the 'four clean-ups'. Some went to Guangxi, some went to Sichuan, and there were quite a few in Xianghe, Hebei...It took a while for them to come back "We should go down when they come back." "Aren't you from Henan by the accent?" "Hehe, you're so funny. I'm from Hangzhou, Zhejiang. How about it? Is it better than your Henan dialect?" Jiang Nanyu took him to report, took a lot of washbasin towels and other items, and brought him to the dormitory.Xie Youpan's enthusiastic help to Jiang Nanyu was like a spring breeze, and he wished to delay her for a while longer.They said goodbye at the door of the boys' dormitory, Xie Youpan thanked and thanked, Jiang Nanyu smiled and smiled, leaving him with a bright smile.

Xie Youpan was assigned to the second class of the law department. There were a total of thirty-two people in the class, and the number of men and women was evenly divided.Everyone came from all over the world, with different looks and messy accents, but most of them were in tattered clothes with patches and patches, which were quite different from my brand-new cotton tunic suits. So my family was quite affluent?There are a total of six students in the dormitory, except for myself, there is no one from Henan, one from Hebei, one from Hunan, one from Sichuan, one from Jiangxi, and one from Beijing.Although everyone has different accents, they are not restrained when meeting each other. After a few days of work, they get along well and are assigned seats from the eldest to the sixth.Xie Youpan is the second child and the only student from a military family. Half of the others are from urban worker and cadre families, and half are from peasant families. Everyone is very interested in each other's family environment.Especially Hu Genjin, the sixth son, who grew up in Beijing since he was a child and has never been out of the government compound. He admires Xie Youpan's father very much, and talks to him about Xie Youpan's father when he is free.At this time, Xie Youpan realized that he knew so little about his father.Hu Genjin can even tell the great achievements of the 11th Army and the illustrious military exploits of the 38th Army with his fingers, but he knows nothing about his history except for a few battles dictated by his father.Xie Youpan felt deeply ashamed and remorseful, feeling that his father's greatness had already become a glorious history, but he wanted to ignore and forget it.

College life is very rich, which is incomparable to the boring high school. Xie Youpan opened his eyes for a while and was overwhelmed.In addition to the daily lessons, there are a large number of current affairs lectures, exchange of ideas and assembly activities in the school.After only participating a few times, Xie Youpan discovered the gap between himself and his classmates who grew up in the city.My test scores are much lower than those of my classmates from other provinces.Students in the city are extremely concerned about current affairs, and their study and thinking can keep up with the pulse of the country.They can explain the ins and outs of various directives issued by the central government and editorials of the People’s Daily at length, and they can quickly tell the clues about the potential meanings contained in the decrees and the direction of policy adjustments.The decision-making process of the country's leaders, they seem to have seen it on the wall of Zhongnanhai, and they can all say one, two, three, four.But Xie Youpan and a few companions from the countryside couldn't get in a word, couldn't hold back a word, except to listen stupidly with their mouths wide open, so they could only forcefully nod their heads in understanding.The youngest He Weidong speaks Beijing dialect as fast as jumping beans and as sharp as a knife and axe, even faster than Xie Youpan's thinking speed. Xie Youpan always has to wait for others to finish speaking before he understands the meaning, and at this time others are already discussing other things. problem.

Lying on the bed in the dormitory, Xie Youpan began to think about the difficulties he was facing. He thought that the difficulties were not difficult to overcome, but he had to work hard. In addition to learning classroom knowledge, he had to acquire a lot of social knowledge, especially political and ideological aspects. Your ambition here will become the success of the villain who is ridiculed.Even though I worked very hard, after the first mid-term exam, my grades were only ranked twelfth from the bottom. Xie Youpan's once-exploding blockbuster confidence suffered a huge blow, and he could no longer lift his head in front of his classmates. The chirping advice from his classmates made him even more ashamed.Coming to Beijing seems to be just the first step of my long march. I can't just admit failure. I must reshape myself and bid farewell to Xie Youpan from the past. I can't let a girl like Jiang Nanyu look down on me.Of course, the first thing to do is to get rid of my Henan accent, which always makes people frown.

Xie Youpan participated in the Marxism Study Group and the Debate Society of the Department. The former was to absorb a large amount of political ideas and cultivate his political awareness and sensitivity, and the latter was to exercise his eloquence and get rid of his weakness of blushing when he opened his mouth.It is very easy to join the Marxism study group, all you need to do is express your opinion.Getting into the Debating Society was not so easy.In an examination match, Xie Youpan, who was clumsy and tongue-in-cheek, was refuted to the ground by a sharp-tongued girl from Hunan. He was so embarrassed that he had no power to fight back except for a self-deprecating smirk.Judging from the expressions of the committee members of the Debating Society, everyone had basically rejected his joining, but he still received the notice of joining the club the next day.Surprised, Xie Youpan asked He Weidong, who was already a member, and the youngest squinted his eyes and said:

"What's your relationship with Jiang Nanyu? Why does she take such good care of you?" "Jiangnan Yu? Oh, is she in the Debating Society?" Xie Youpan suddenly remembered that beautiful figure, did she help? "Jiangnan Yu is the vice president of the Debating Society and a start-up member. She interceded for you, otherwise you wouldn't even be able to touch... Oh? Thank you, second child! How do you know her? Which building does she live in? ? What’s the room number? Where are you from?” He Weidong stared at Xie Youpan, as if he wanted to dig out the answer from his eyes.Xie Youpan smiled triumphantly and said: "Secret! Anyway, I know everything, don't worry about this swan meat, it's our senior sister!" "Senior sister, what? Did you take a break from school? She studied all the way down, and she is three or four years younger than us! How about it? Can you help me? I will help you improve your debate level, and I will help you." , your speed of improvement must catch up with Gasjeep!" "Pull you down! I don't need to help anyone. After half a year, you will see me refute you! Want me to betray Jiang Nanyu's secret? Don't even think about it! How can the descendants of my proletarian revolutionaries do such a thing? Don't worry about it! Or Worry about your 'Dou Si Criticism' speech!" "Hey? Your second brother Xie is on the line with me? You want to plant the red flag yourself? You can do this with me! It's okay, I'll go find out by myself, and I'll take the lead when the time comes, so don't eat it The vinegar of the proletariat!" "You are so self-righteous. Our school is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. There are already many people who like her? Can it be your turn? Besides, our school does not promote this, and the management is quite strict. Don't make mistakes!" Xie Youpan had a solemn expression, as if he included He Weidong in the ranks of losers. "Your news is not as good as mine, right? She has no partner! Don't think she is good at studying, but her family background is not good. Rightists, capitalist roaders, counter-revolutionaries, orthodox Sixiu, you have everything you should have! Do you know? His parents were both sent to labor camps on the farm..." Xie Youpan looked at the complacent He Weidong in surprise, wishing he could be slapped across the face, his mind was spinning rapidly. "The composition is not good!" These words made him flustered, not knowing whether it was because of Jiang Nanyu or himself. The semester passed quickly, and it was winter again in a blink of an eye. The leaders of the Supreme Court instructed that the Beijing Law College is a party school and should train cadres for the dictatorship of the proletariat.As a result, many non-party professors who gave good lectures stepped aside. Headed by the oldest principal, Qian Ruisheng, there were nine non-party professors, who were called "Nine Diamonds" by the students.These people are basically celebrities in the legal field in the old society, and their level is not to be said, but their thinking is problematic.Among them, Professor Wu Siyu, who is a master of research, and Professor Zhu Jiwu, who is proficient in many foreign languages, are both knowledgeable and humorous, and are very popular among students.The marriage law taught by Professor Lei Jiqiong is novel and lively, and the students love to listen to it very much.It is estimated that the party committee of the college thought this situation was considered, and they were not allowed to stand aside completely, and the class could not be taught, so they set up a research room for them and asked them to compile materials related to bourgeois politics and law. Thought.The college's big-character poster states: They are "poisoned too deeply by the evil capitalism" and "their brains are not well washed, so they cannot teach law."Most of the lecturers and professors teaching today are young, and many of them have stayed in school after graduating in recent years. The lectures especially emphasize politics and class.The textbooks of professional courses such as criminal procedure, civil law, and history of legal thought were almost completely eliminated, and new content mainly included political science textbooks were replaced.The introduction to socialist jurisprudence and the history of Western political thought, which were originally compulsory courses, became elective courses, and then even the elective courses were simply stopped.Xie Youpan is not surprised by this, nor is he flustered. As long as everyone is the same, there is no difference between high and low. You can learn whatever the country asks you to learn. Unlike Xie Youpan, most freshmen have never been away from home for such a long time, when will they go home?How to go back?became the main topic of conversation after the final exam.Xie Youpan has lived in school for a long time since junior high school, and has no such anxiety.The ranking in the final exam has been greatly advanced, and it has reached the positive twenty. This result is already very satisfying to him, after all, a lot of energy has been devoted to other aspects.He was amazed by his rapid growth and the improvement of his eloquence. When he encountered topics he was familiar with, he could already compete with He Weidong and others in night chats in the dormitory.This kind of debate often evolves from trying to say a result to a battle of wits and courage trying to overwhelm one side.Xie Youpan began to have some brilliant victories. He Weidong and others are no longer their opponents when it comes to class struggle in the countryside.He could not only understand some esoteric legal papers in "Politics and Law Research", but also appreciate the exquisite poems in "Yellow Book" and "Bitter Fruit". He also published a few reflections on the college newspaper, which surprised his classmates. Following the rhythm of the central spirit, the various campaigns and critical work of the School of Political Science and Law suddenly increased.The school youth league committee, the student unions of various departments, and various self-organized associations have shifted the focus of organizational work to summarizing the work of "four clean-ups" and the work of "Dou Si Criticism".In various "capital-hunting and criticizing seminars", the college has uncovered many "extreme right" elements, revisionists, and a few counter-revolutionaries.A legal history lecturer who was still giving lectures the day before yesterday became a "bourgeois spy who infiltrated the legal profession" today. It is said that the working group discovered letters in his home with his classmates at Fu Jen Catholic University in Taiwan. .The students didn't see this notice in time, and they still came to class early in the morning. An ignorant graduate student said that he would be a substitute class in the future, and was rejected by the students.Since then, the school's teaching work has been completely in chaos.The focus of students' attention has also completely shifted from legal study to political study. Xie Youpan and all the dormitory brothers participated in the "Investigation Team for Investigating Funds and Investigating Countermeasures" organized by the Youth League Committee. Because Bai Xi's classmate, the current vice principal, helped, and Xie Youpan's family background was listed as "revolutionary soldier" on his resume, so Successfully joined the group.Under the leadership of the Youth League Committee, they entered the school office and the teaching and research office many times to investigate and research, and uncovered many leading cadres who were suspected of bourgeois line.Because of Xie Youpan's strong insight, uncompromising on the problems he found, and his courage to argue with the reactionary authorities, he has attracted the attention of the leaders of the organization. By the end of the year, Xie Youpan was already the vanguard of the group. long.He won the respect of his classmates and the admiration of his brothers in the dormitory. The reunion with Jiang Nanyu did not excite Xie Youpan as expected. I don't know if it is because of her maturity or the influence of her family background.It was the weekend. After attending the anti-Vietnam War demonstration in Tiananmen Square, Xie Youpan felt his mind was in a mess, so he didn’t want to study by himself at night. Last week, he borrowed a copy of "Falling Arguments from Rightists in Political and Legal Circles" from the library. Look, just drive the night train at night to finish watching.As soon as he lay down on the bed, the sixth child and the fourth child rushed in. "Second! Why did you just come back? We've all been back for an hour!" "I'm walking back and want to see the scenery on the way." "Pull it down! If you don't take the free bus, you have to walk. What kind of bourgeois sentiments are you talking about?" "Go out, don't interfere with my reading." Xie Youpan turned over impatiently and muttered. The fourth child slammed onto the shelf of his upper bunk, pushed him and said: "Did you know? In the evening, the department held an unprecedented dance in the auditorium, saying it was to welcome the New Year's party of the Beijing Municipal Committee of the Communist Youth League... The senior students came to teach the lower grades to dance. Everyone is welcome to go!" "No! I can't dance, and I don't want to learn!" Xie Youpan pushed him down. "Huh? This is a political mission, why don't you go? You are alone in bed watching the fallacies of the rightists. Your attitude is very wrong? Come down, if you don't go, we feel that we are alone and alone, and there are many 'upper-middle' elements. All the female classmates from the school have gone, we, the descendants of the revolution, must not fall behind..." Xie Youpan couldn't resist these two tireless guys, he couldn't stand it anyway, and dancing was a new thing, so he dropped the book and went together. A dance floor was circled in the corridor of the auditorium, surrounded by two rows of chairs, and more than two hundred people crowded here.A record player is placed in the corner, playing melodious music.Xie Youpan has never done any rhythmic exercise since he was so old, and he has no feeling for dancing. After making gestures for a long time, he finally decided to give up, because the sixth child said that he was not dancing at all, but plowing the land.Xie Youpan didn't take this very seriously, and he couldn't dance a great proletarian revolutionist. I didn't hear that Chairman Mao and Premier Zhou danced well, and I didn't hear which of the ten marshals was good at it?So he hid and sat on the side, quietly watching the group of demons dancing on the field. The songs in the "Long March Suite" were played over and over again, and those who could dance and those who could not dance were mixed together.The sixth child is like a village jumper, out of step with the rhythm, while the fourth child's every movement is as if he is heroic, his expression is as fierce as the Red Army in "The East Is Red", but his feet are muddy and disorderly. It is in stark contrast. Under the dim light, he suddenly spotted Jiang Nanyu who was also sitting in the corner, and he almost didn't recognize her unless he looked carefully.Jiang Nanyu and a girl sat at the opposite corner from Xie Youpan, staring blankly at the crowd.Because it was too far away, Xie Youpan couldn't see her beautiful eyes clearly, but felt that this was not the Jiang Nanyu who smiled like a pear flower at the school gate.Xie Youpan's heart beat suddenly faster.But it was only for a moment that he realized the obvious problem.It is impossible for a beautiful girl like Jiang Nanyu not to be invited to dance, unless it is inconvenient.Xie Youpan looked around, and many male students cast vague glances at the opposite corner, but no one got up.Xie Youpan remembered the blind eyes he suffered in school when his father was designated as a "rightist", a chivalrous spirit suddenly rushed to his forehead, he stood up firmly, walked through the stumbling dancers, and went straight to Jiangnan Yu. go.Jiang Nanyu noticed that the male student in the distance was walking towards her in a firm straight line. Looking at the side, it was obvious that he was not walking towards someone else. She was so nervous that she was at a loss.This boy looked familiar, but a little strange, until he stood still in front of him, he recognized that he was the Henan freshman who couldn't find the registration office. "Student Jiangnan Yu, I can't dance, can you teach me?" Xie Youpan admired his composure!How can I say such a decent and confident words.Jiang Nanyu felt that these words were not asking for her consent at all, but ordering her. She was nervous, but also felt a burst of fresh comfort. It was deserted for half the night, and someone invited her so grandly.He neither twitched nor contrived, and his outstretched hands were steady and big.Jiang Nanyu's ears were buzzing, and she stood up in surprise. "It's you! I can't dance well, I can't teach you well, don't worry..." Her voice was as low as a cat's and as light as snow, Xie Youpan couldn't hear her clearly at all.But her meaning was clear, for her lithe arms had been raised, and her full breasts had risen.Xie Youpan took a deep breath, tried to hold her left hand with hers in the correct way, and took a step forward.In the beautiful music, they slowly slid to the dance floor.Rather than teaching, it is better to say that Jiang Nanyu is leading Xie Youpan forward.Xie Youpan was very surprised, she was so petite and strong and determined, almost like a man.Xie Youpan had no way to exert his strength, so he could only follow her rhythm in circles.Xie Youpan could control her footsteps in her rhythm, but she couldn't control her body's pitch.When turning around, he felt his chest collide with Jiang Nanyu's chest a few times. Even though he was wearing cotton clothes, he could still feel their fullness.Her faint scent and soft hair caressed his face.Xie Youpan knew that his face must be red.His eyes were empty because of cramping, he couldn't see the people around him, he couldn't even see Jiang Nanyu who was close at hand, and he could only hear people's surprise and admiration mixed with the sound of music.Under the light, Jiang Nanyu's face showed the description of Lihua again, and Xie Youpan heard her bird-like laughter again.He also smiled, smiling as naturally as in childhood, as comfortable as in a dream. "You dance really well! I've been learning for a long time and I can't find the feeling, but once you teach me I will." Youpan said while wiping his sweat.The dance was over, they avoided the bustling crowd and walked towards the dormitory together. "It's not that I teach well. In our dormitory, I'm actually the worst dancer. You are very talented and have a good sense of rhythm. I can't teach others so fast...Huh? Is your accent changing?" "It's not a change. Learn the language of the people of Beijing and speak the capital dialect with a correct accent. This is a powerful weapon against class enemies, and it is also helpful for communicating with other students... um... thank you for helping me improve. I joined the Debating Society, or I’m still clumsy.” "I said, you are very talented... you can learn everything quickly! When... when will you go home?" Jiang Nanyu's smile faded slowly, and he asked as he walked. "I'll go back next Tuesday, the ticket is already booked, what about you?" "I...may not go back. I'll live at my aunt's house. I'll review my homework at school!" She lowered her head and kicked the stones at her feet indiscriminately. "Why? You have to go home for the New Year anyway! Do your parents agree with you staying?" "They... all agreed, and I may go back once a year later." Tonight's temperature is very low, and there are gusts of evil winds that rip around.Although they were wearing military overcoats, they still felt chilly.Xie Youpan glanced at Jiangnan Yu from time to time, intoxicated by her beautiful face profile and slightly pursed lips, feeling hot in his heart, and blurted out: "I thought you were going to go first. If you go first, I'll see you off..." "...Really? Now that you are going home, I can send you off..." Her voice dropped again.Xie Youpan didn't know what to do, how to answer her warm words?He didn't dare look into her eyes either.He knew what he was destined to feel, but he didn't know what he was afraid of.The wind seemed to stop suddenly, and the sound of the two people's footsteps on the concrete floor became very clear.Both of them silenced, and it was like this until they broke up under the street lamp. "Well... When I first came to school, I didn't understand anything. Thanks to you for helping me, thank you!" Xie Youpan broke the silent embarrassment. "It's nothing, I should... Hehe, you looked so funny at that time. You were well dressed, but you were carrying a lot of baggage, and you were sweating profusely..." When Jiang Nanyu laughed, his glasses lit up. Like the stars in the sky. "Are you really going to see me off? I had to catch the early bus that day, and I had to get up at 5:30..." Xie Youpan asked tentatively, and his heart started beating wildly again. "I can get up... I will come..." "The ingredients in your family are not good, right?" The conversation between the two seemed to be separated by an awkward fence. Xie Youpan felt that he could not get close to this girl unless it was knocked down.After hesitating for a while, he still couldn't help bringing up the topic.Even at night, he saw her face turn pale suddenly.At that time, one or two hundred rightists were drawn out in the school. Because of her good performance, she was designated as a "substitute". Later, her parents were labeled as "active counter-revolutionaries".When the scar was uncovered, Jiang Nanyu was covered in bumps all over his body.She looked at Xie Youpan with disappointment and resentment, but his eyes were kind and sincere, and he didn't mean to look down on her. "I know you are the leader of the vanguard group. Do you want to use dancing to check me? Let's check tomorrow openly... Go back to the dormitory, I'll go back first..." Jiang Nanyu looked away, turned and walked towards Building 1 go. "My father is also an old rightist!" Xie Youpan shouted through gritted teeth. Jiang Nanyu had just run not far away, when he heard this, he stopped, hesitated for a moment, and slowly turned around.Xie Youpan saw the white steam she exhaled flew into the sky in balls and disappeared in the moonlight, her eyes were full of doubt, puzzlement and bewilderment.He fastened the buttons of his army coat, walked slowly up to her and said: "My father was knocked down in 1958, and he took off his hat a few years ago. If I hadn't been lucky, I wouldn't even be able to apply for the college entrance examination. Now my father writes on my resume that he is a revolutionary soldier... We are actually similar, you Don't put too much pressure on your heart, everything will be fine...I only told you about my things now...they are going to check you again...I want to protect you..." Two strings of huge teardrops had already fallen from her eyes like rain, and those two grateful eyes made Xie Youpan feel as great as a hero. For some reason at the end of the year, it was extremely cold.In a windy day, it lasts for half a month, and the temperature drops sharply, and you can drop eight pieces of phlegm if you spit it out.The sky over the city of Beijing was blown away by a strong wind, and the wind rushed into the narrow alleys, making a shrill whistle, and the streets were full of slogans and various big-character posters that were peeled off by the wind.Apart from all kinds of vehicles, there are not many pedestrians in the vicinity of Xueyuan Road. Today is the day when freshmen go home, Xie Youpan got up at 5:30.The luggage had already been packed and piled up at the feet, the third child in Beijing had gone home early, and the remaining five had to take the school bus to the train station.Without washing their faces, the five of them rushed out of the dormitory, but they still realized that they got up late.There are already more than one hundred people queuing in front of several school buses at the school gate, and everyone is wrapped up like a zongzi.Xie Youpan looked around for a while, but couldn't tell which zongzi was Jiang Nanyu. At this moment, he realized how stupid it was not to wear a hat. His face was already numb from the cold, and his tongue was almost turning into a straight stick.He crawled around in the crowd, when a person suddenly grabbed his arm, took off his thick scarf and mask, and Xie Youpan saw Jiangnan Yu's flushed face from the cold. "Are you really here? It's such a cold day, I'm really sorry for you, put on your mask quickly..." "It's okay, get on the train quickly, why don't you even wear a hat? Don't miss the train... I'll be back in a while, and you have to change trains... This is the latest version of Chairman Mao's Quotations!" A cold notebook was stuffed into his hand, and he couldn't see it clearly.The doors of the bus opened, the queues were thrown into disarray, and the students rushed towards the four school buses like a charge.Everyone is afraid of missing their own train, no one pays attention to politeness, and the people who maintain the scene in the student office have been crowded out without a trace.People crowded like crazy, the sliding doors of the school bus were squeezed out, and the iron handrails were pulled into twists.The boss is Wu Mingzhang from Hengshui, Hebei Province. He is not tall but strong like a calf. He made a way through the crowd and got into the first car with all his strength. The companions were dragged in from the car window.Xie Youpan was the last one. Before he could say goodbye to Jiang Nanyu, he was dragged into the crowd by the fourth king Qi Fu and pulled towards the school bus.The moment Xie Youpan turned his head, a scarf suddenly hung around his neck. "I knitted it for you..." The crowd was roaring, and the screaming of the school bus driver didn't help.Jiang Nanyu's faint voice was drowned in the shouts of Nanqiang Beidiao, so he stopped shouting at all.Xie Youpan was carried into the carriage by the boss, which looked like cotton stacks on the carriage.He was sweating, and shouted at her through the window: "Hurry up and go back to the dormitory! We will be back after the new year...study hard...think hard...don't be discouraged...everything will be fine..." Xie Youpan himself forgot what he shouted later, anyway, he remembered the frail figure submerged in the crowd.Her neck was no longer covered by a scarf, revealing a section of her snow-white neck, which was especially beautiful in the army green crowd.In an instant, he felt a strong emotion that he had never felt before. That kind of feeling scratched his heart and lungs, made him feel hot all over, his eyes swelled, and his lips became dry.He pressed his hot face against the cold car window, melting the thick frost on the glass, trying his best to search for the melancholy girl in his sight, wishing he could just jump out of the oppressive car. "Is this the lightning love that Tolstoy described?" Xie Youpan murmured to himself. "Thank you, second child, can you do it? Someone has sent you a token of love! Her family has been declared a counter-revolutionary, and her father has been arrested. Pay attention to your identity and be careful of your mistakes..." The boss wiped his nose and said.Many people in the car cast envious and suspicious eyes on him, and they flickered in the dark car.The school bus drove quickly to the train station, and the homesick students chatted enthusiastically, imagining the comfortable days when they went home and hid on the kang head for a month.Xie Youpan just leaned against the window silently, watching the frost that melted on his cheeks slowly freeze into new patterns, twirling the crimson woolen scarf in his hand.Outside was the city of Beijing before the snowstorm, and the sky there was as cloudy as his mood. Xie Youpan opened the quotations from Chairman Mao given by Jiang Nanyu, and found that there was still a piece of paper sandwiched inside the plastic cover. He quickly pulled it out and opened it, and half a page of beautiful handwriting came into view: "Even though there are vicissitudes, it's really cold and warm, but dreams in the gentle mirror are hard to stay..." Xie Youpan recited these two sentences silently, as if he had seen Jiangnan Yujing's pen frowned under the candlelight. That night, the north wind was raging outside the window, and the dead trees were broken, but the room was gentle and infinite. linger.Thinking about it, he was a little crazy for a while... He didn't stay home for many days, only a year later, Xie Youpan ran back to Beijing in the name of previewing his homework.Everything is fine at home, and my father is better than ever, and he is happy all day long.The Siqing work did not involve him in anything, but Guo Pingyuan, who seized power, was found to have serious problems, including the forty bags of grain that the Japanese devils snatched back in 1960, and was convicted of "privately dividing state property." .Fortunately, he confessed his crime thoroughly and was not locked up. Now he is mixing feed every day in the brigade's pig farm.Banzi Village's power structure was reshuffled, and newcomers emerged in large numbers.But no one thought that Xie Guoya, who had a head on his buttocks, would become the secretary of the brigade, and Xie Laogui would become the deputy secretary.When the Siqing working group withdrew from Banzi Village, a new leadership team took office in full swing. Back at school, the atmosphere was very different.The number of people suddenly increased, and more than half of the teachers and students who had gone to engage in the "Four Cleanups" returned to school. The library and study room were full of people, and they all studied eagerly.Xie Youpan thought about Jiang Nanyu, and after packing up, he came to Building No. 1 to find her. Unfortunately, Jiang Nanyu went to the city to find a classmate, and Duan Yueyue, who was in the same dormitory, said that she would not be able to come back until evening.Xie Youpan felt restless, so he went to the self-study room to read, his eyes were on the book, but his heart was elsewhere, holding a copy of "Overview of Civil Law" and flipping through it all afternoon, he had no idea.Seeing some men and women holding rice bowls and walking together awkwardly, I feel a little jealous. With great difficulty until night fell, Xie Youpan sneaked out of the school gate and sat down in a corner next to the bus station.Hiding in the shadow of the street lamp, he clapped his hands and stomped his feet, his heart itching like a cat scratching.Every bus that stopped made his heart beat faster and made him cringe.In a blink of an eye, the big clock at the train station struck eight times, and he had been waiting for more than two hours. Xie Youpan was so cold that he had nowhere to hide in the cold wind. No matter how hot his heart was, his hands and feet were completely cold and painful like needle pricks.He hopped around, wanted to leave but was unwilling, and secretly scolded Duan Yueyue, the ugly girl from Jiangxi, who was talking nonsense, didn't she make fun of herself?Maybe Jiang Nanyu is in the dormitory right now, reading a book under the covers. "Gah..." Another bus arrived, according to the time, this should be the last bus, Xie Youpan was about to bow down to this iron guy.Finally, after several men came down, Jiang Nanyu, who had been looking forward to it all day, jumped out of the car with his schoolbag on his back.She was still wearing the same attire she gave herself, and started wearing a mask as soon as she got out of the car.Xie Youpan saw her face at that moment, it was the beautiful face that he tossed and turned and missed day and night, and the coldness around him disappeared miraculously.He stepped out and wanted to walk towards her, but almost fell over, only to realize that his legs and feet were so cold that he almost lost consciousness. "Xie Youpan? Why are you? When did you come back? Why are you freezing here?" Jiang Nanyu immediately took off his mask, showing shock and surprise on his face. "Oh... I heard... you... came back at night. I just came out... from... the study room... to see if you... have come back... I didn't expect... to meet... you came back... but It's so late..." Xie Youpan knew that this lie was not successful, her tongue was not very good, and her complexion might not be good, the smile she just squeezed out might be uglier than crying, she must know, just coming out of the classroom will not freeze into this. "Are you waiting for me?" Jiang Nanyu stared at this lovely person, and the depression and dullness during this winter vacation were slowly dissipating.He didn't know how long he had been waiting here, just to see himself appear. This should be the same feeling as when she went to Building No. 2 to see if the lights in their dormitory were on from time to time, right?Jiang Nanyu has never been so confident before. She felt a meaning she was looking forward to in his eyes. Presumably he should also see the hot emotion in her eyes, right? She stared at him blankly, and he smiled at her too.This bus stop seems to be their stage, and this street lamp envelops them in their own space.The surrounding streets, pines and cypresses and the boundless night are all hidden, because there is the most beautiful scenery in the world in front of you.They approached slowly, Jiang Nanyu took out his hand from the glove, and slowly cupped Xie Youpan's cold cheek.Xie Youpan quietly felt the fiery palm, and then covered it with his own.He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and immersed himself in the happiness melted by them... Jiang Nanyu and Xie Youpan are dating! A month later, the news finally spread quickly in one night and became the headline news at the beginning of the second semester. Its influence even surpassed that of a strong earthquake in Xingtai, Hebei Province.After the male students regretted and cursed, many people appreciated Xie Youpan's courage.Many female students felt resentful. With her family status, how dare she engage in bourgeois flirting at school?That Xie Youpan is a fool, pretending to be a descendant of the revolution, but he is not a good person in his heart!Now the whole country is emphasizing "prominent politics", but he gets together with the descendants of "current counter-revolutionaries and bullies". Aren't you afraid that your class position will be tarnished? The proliferation of rumors did not panic Xie Youpan and Jiang Nanyu, nor did it affect Xie Youpan's continuous progress in learning and politics.With the help of Jiang Nanyu, his academic progress has been rapid, especially his Russian proficiency, which has been improving by leaps and bounds.Jiang Nanyu's learning ability is not ordinary, with a strong memory and strong comprehension ability.Her class notes are clearly organized and neatly handwritten, and they can be printed into textbooks without sorting out.Xie Youpan is very smart, but because he goes to school intermittently, his knowledge system has obvious short legs.But he is very modest and persevering. The articles he published in the school magazine have become more and more solid. After half a semester, even Jiang Nanyu was surprised by his progress.Although she was in the first year of high school, Jiang Nanyu was four years younger than Xie Youpan, and Xie Youpan was far more mature than her in dealing with things. Many of the students who had a tense relationship with her, as well as the youth league committee officials and school personnel, were mostly in Xie Youpan's office. Under the influence of hope, he no longer confronted himself obviously. The year after he and Jiang Nanyu confirmed their relationship was the happiest day in Xie Youpan's life, and it was also the day when he worked the hardest.He is working hard to progress like a never-ending clock, studying law, philosophy and socialist revolutionary theory hungrily. He is growing with incredible enthusiasm and perseverance, his academic performance is rising day by day, and his popularity is getting better and better.The classmates said that this kid either drank chicken blood, or became obsessed with love, so he studied and made progress so hard, did he want to be a professor after graduation?The teachers said that this student is really not simple. I don’t know how many books in the library have his pencil sketches. His theoretical level is getting better and better. The articles in the school magazine are already outstanding. With a scholarly attitude, you can consider recommending graduate students in the future. Xie Youpan's eloquence is also improving.The hard training in the past year was not in vain. Through round after round of debate competitions and speeches, he won the title of captain of the school debate team by virtue of his strength, and was also elected as the vice president of the Faculty of Law.Xie Youpan finally made a name for himself by holding several eye-catching academic seminars and organizing inter-university exchange activities. In this semester, he planned and implemented a school-wide discussion on "Is it good to be an upright official? Or is it not good?" based on his criticism of Wu Han's "Hai Rui Dismissed from Office", which aroused the attention of teachers and students of various departments for a while.Group discussion, class discussion, department meeting discussion, and finally a big debate between departments, there are basically three viewpoints: Hello!Honest officials represent an advanced force that safeguards the interests of the proletarian people. They understand the conditions of the people and care for the people. They are allies on the same front as the working people and a favorable combination of the awakened bourgeoisie and the revolutionary proletariat.The emergence of honest officials will greatly encourage the creativity of revolutionaries, and can effectively protect the development and growth of the proletariat, thereby accelerating the realization of the revolution. The second point of view is: honest officials are not good!They believe that no matter how much honest officials love the people like their sons, their class position cannot be changed. The relationship between the two is always between oppressor and oppressed. Feudal bureaucrats regard the people as their sons, which in itself is an insult to the proletariat.Objectively, this kind of behavior of honest officials will anesthetize the resistance consciousness of the proletariat, prolong the feudal autocratic rule, and allow the proletariat to endure longer and cruel class persecution. In this sense, honest officials are even more abhorrent than corrupt officials! The third point of view was put forward by the Law Society led by Xie Youpan, and it has many supporters.They believe that clean and honest officials are good or bad, and they should be analyzed from a historical dialectical point of view, and they should look at the problem in two, rather than going to two extremes.Compared with the proletariat at the same time, the emergence of honest officials can guarantee the security of the existence of the proletariat and help the working people to carry out the revolution smoothly.From this point of view, honest officials are definitely better than corrupt officials.But from another point of view, the proletariat cannot place all their hopes on honest officials, become dependent on them, and lose their own revolutionary and progressive nature. In this case, an honest official is not as good as a corrupt official, because later The latter is more able to stimulate the spirit of resistance of the proletariat, and the feudal rule will perish at a faster speed. "Hai Rui Dismissed from Office" starts from the perspective of feudal bureaucrats who love the people like their sons and sympathize with the people's sentiments. This has serious ideological limitations. No matter how Hai Rui behaves, even if he loses his official position because of this, his fundamental purpose is to maintain feudalism. The system of the dynasty and the class structure at that time, so as not to force the people to rebel.Therefore, "Hai Rui Dismissed from Office" must be criticized. Xie Youpan talked eloquently at the debate, quoted scriptures and allusions, advanced and retreated freely, and everyone was convinced.And Jiang Nanyu's heart is surging, what an outstanding young man he is!His speech, his demeanor, and even his Henan accent and the slightly crooked corners of his mouth, all fascinated her.Those dark eyes are so confident and firm, as if there is infinite power in his body.The applause and applause around him made him as high-spirited as a former revolutionary.Jiang Nanyu understands that she has become more and more envious of this man who broke into his heart, being with him, all the haze is swept away, he is like a stalwart pillar, propping up his own sky high . After a rational summary, Xie Youpan also pointed out some of Jiangnan Yu's obvious shortcomings.For example, she always felt that she was born in a high-ranking class, and her cultural quality and knowledge were far better than that of the poor and lower-middle peasants. It seemed that she deliberately distanced herself from the proletariat and could not make progress together.Other people's clothes were patched with patches, and if there were no patches, they would deliberately open a few, but she always kept a clean and tidy appearance.Most other girls have short hair with bangs, but she insists on long hair.Other girls walk neatly and with strength and clang, but she always shakes her steps three times and flutters like a willow in the wind... Xie Youpan made a list of her shortcomings, and she laughed when she looked carefully. The shortcoming is actually what I like the most.Her uniqueness, her beauty and elegance, her cleanliness and generosity, and her lightness and elegance all fascinated me, and also made her appear to be divorced from the masses, with a serious bourgeois sentiment.If you like it, you like it, Xie Youpan still suggested that she correct it, cut out a few patches on the intact clothes for her, let her walk more firmly, pay attention to inserting a few quotations from Chairman Mao in her speech, etc... Jiang Nanyu was spoiled since she was a child, and it was difficult to accept his shortcomings. When she knew that Xie Youpan liked these shortcomings, she quickly corrected them.This year, there were suddenly more boys who got close to her, which made her a little confused. Among them was He Weidong, the youngest in Xie Youpan's dormitory. Seeing the stupid Xie Youpan growing up day by day, Beijing youth He Weidong is of course unwilling to lag behind. The level of hard study in the past two years is not lower than that of Xie Youpan, but every time the test results come out, he is always behind Xie Youpan, and then he is always behind Xie Youpan. Coupled with the fact that Jiang Nanyu, who was thinking about it day and night but didn't dare to approach him, was actually embraced by this kid, his self-esteem couldn't stand it, and his jealousy even bleeds.Seeing that he couldn't do well in his studies, He Weidong began to give full play to his organizational skills. After two years, he has achieved a lot. Now he seems to be a popular person in the school's propaganda department, leading a large number of students on campus all day long to carry out support and cooperation. Xie Youpan was really ashamed of the enthusiasm of the meeting to study the new instructions of the Central Committee.His trumpet blared for hours until he became hoarse.He and Xie Youpan began to have major differences in political views. The two seemed to be in harmony, and they could not speak in the dormitory, and they could quarrel with each other.After watching the critical films "Attack to the City" and "Catch the Strong", the two argued in the dormitory which one was the bigger poisonous weed, but they couldn't come to a conclusion. The decibels of the two reached the limit.Fortunately, the classmates came to stop them in time and did not let the two fight, but the friendship between the two was over because of this, and the eyes of each other were full of hostility. After May, major newspapers and magazines across the country suddenly changed their faces, and various critical articles followed one after another.What is different from the past is that these articles are in a series and the length is large, as if printing is not ink, but gunpowder. "Liberation Army Daily" published "Fire at the Anti-Party, Anti-Socialist Black Line", pointing directly at the "Three Family Village" black shop of Deng Tuo, Wu Han, and Liao Mosha.Two days later, national newspapers reprinted "Jiefang Daily"'s "Comment on the "Sanjia Village"——The Reactionary Essence."Another week later, the enlarged meeting of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China passed the "Notice of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China", which was abbreviated as the "May 16 Notice" in the newspaper. The article pointed out that Peng Zhen and others had major problems. There are such a group of representatives of the bourgeoisie who are anti-Party and anti-socialist in cities and autonomous regions... We must hold high the banner of the proletarian cultural revolution, thoroughly expose the bourgeois stance of anti-Party and anti-socialist "academic authorities", and thoroughly criticize Seize the leadership of the bourgeois reactionary ideology in academia, education, journalism, literature and art, and publishing. . . . Before the teachers and students of the college could fully understand the scalp-numbing article of the "May 16 Notice", on May 25, the General Political Department issued the "Notice on the Implementation of the Central Committee's May 16 Notice". Then the Central Cultural Revolution Group was established. Most were terrified, while others were more excited than ever.What Xie Youpan worried about was: The "May 16 Notice" literally did not clarify many issues. What is the so-called anti-Party and anti-socialist "academic authority"?What is the so-called "proletarian left"?What are "representatives of the bourgeoisie" and "counter-revolutionary revisionists"? How did the "Cultural Revolution" unfold?This article pointed out the titles of the objects to be targeted, but did not clearly indicate their scope. What should I do if there is a misunderstanding between the executors?On the day the article was published, two factions immediately emerged in the college. The faction led by the college’s Propaganda Department and the student unions of various departments believed that in order to oppose and overthrow the academic and organizational leaders of the college’s party branch, it was necessary to negotiate with the college’s party branch.The other faction, led by the Youth League Committee of the college and various societies, believes that the organizational leadership of the party committee must be adhered to, and the academic leadership can negotiate separately.The students of the two factions were arguing in the auditorium, and the leaders of the college on the stage were sweating profusely and dared not say a word. Jiang Nanyu spent his days in panic, like a sparrow being chased away by farmers, if it wasn't for Xie Youpan's support, he would have almost collapsed.The radical denunciations, the big-character posters everywhere on the campus, and the new articles published by the Central People's Broadcasting Station every day made her tremble with fear.Apart from being by Xie Youpan's side, there is almost nowhere to hide. Maybe one day, the central government will order him to be pulled out again.This huge uncertainty made her even a little nervous. When she saw classmates passing by in groups of three or four, she consciously slipped away. The weather is very good today, the sun is shining brightly, Jiang Nanyu is wearing a spring dark gray school uniform, and came to see Xie Youpan early in the morning.On the way, I bought him breakfast and soy milk. It happened that everyone else in the group had gone to print big-character posters, and Xie Youpan was the only one left, washing his face in long johns.Seeing Jiang Nanyu being so considerate to him, Xie Youpan smiled knowingly. "Why did Chairman Mao of the Party Central Committee make everyone mess up?" Jiang Nanyu asked him. "I don't quite understand either. It seems that Chairman Mao felt that something went wrong inside the Central Committee." "What do you mean by seizing power? Do you want to drive out all the leaders of the college? He Weidong and the others have established the 'Tucheng Revolutionary Detachment' and are recruiting troops in various departments. It seems that he is going to seize power." "We can't let him seize power. The Party Central Committee and the Central Cultural Revolution Group have orders first. To seize or not to seize? How to seize? We must first report and then implement. Blindly seizing power is a deliberate attack. We had a meeting yesterday, and several parties jointly established a 'branch party' Nursing School Revolutionary Commune', everyone elected me to be the commander-in-chief, but I can't refuse, so I should. Hmph! Just fight with them to win or lose..." Xie Youpan stared at his red eyes and said.Although classes have been suspended, a large amount of political information needs to be analyzed. At the same time, the law society must clarify its purpose, unite with various college organizations, and closely align with the Youth League Committee and the college party committee to ensure the normal learning order of the college.With the support of the Youth League Committee of the college, Xie Youpan served as the commander-in-chief of the "Revolutionary Commune for Branch Party Protection School".He had a premonition that there would be a bigger storm in the future, and this movement might be more violent than any previous one, even more terrifying.Thinking of his father's identity, he was also very scared.But Jiang Nanyu's distressed eyes made him stronger, no matter how great the suffering, no matter how dark the abyss, he must persevere.How can it be bearable to let this beloved girl and her father go through those terrible days again? "You hope, today is Children's Day, I want you to give me a gift!" Jiang Nanyu combed his hair in front of the mirror beside his bed. "Hehe, you may be the biggest child in all of China. I'll take you to the city wall in a while and buy you a candied haws." "You're so stingy, you don't even buy a pancake..." Jiang Nanyu pouted and threw the comb on the bed. "Oh! The two of us want to go together! I also want to eat pancakes and fruits! We haven't eaten for more than a month, so let's go at noon, okay?" Xie Youpan grabbed her hand, asked with bright eyes. "Look at you! The words from my hometown came out in a hurry... Eat your breakfast first, the soy milk is still hot! Go drink it..." Jiang Nanyu's face turned red all of a sudden, she wanted to break away from his hand, but found that she was unwilling.The warm hands of those two hands slid from his own hands to his arms, and then suddenly slid to his waist, pulling himself into his embrace like iron tongs.She was frightened by the sudden hug, and quickly reached out to push her. As soon as she looked up, Xie Youpan had already kissed her lips like lightning.Xie Youpan's strong manly scent rushed into her body, and in an instant, Jiang Nanyu's strength disappeared without a trace.She let the man she admired suck her lips and tongue vigorously, let his lovely big hands stroke her hair, her face, her waist and her back.She felt a whirl that she had never experienced before, a strong electric current slid across her body, and his lips seemed to be exuding magic power, which made her heart beat faster, her body became weak, and she became dizzy.The fiery body under his thin autumn clothes almost destroyed her nearly collapsed sanity.She hugged him so tightly that she couldn't believe it herself. "Nan Yu, I will protect you. Since the day you sent me away, I have made up my mind to use all my strength to protect you for the rest of my life. Our strength is already very strong, and they will not kill us all at once. Defeat..." Xie Youpan hug
