Chapter 2 You bring laughter, I'm blessed to have

The story generally has to be told from the beginning, and it is usually a long story from the beginning.Be patient though, is it perfect to have a story that begins in a bookstore and ends with the publication of a book? No. 84 Charing Cross Road, why is it mentioned again.I also don't want to go around the country of Java, I also want to parachute into Tibet and directly tell a more exciting legendary story.But there is no way, to find this story in the vast Internet, 84 Charing Cross Road is a key word that cannot be avoided.As a "seriously paranoid patient + arty book fan", every once in a while, I will subconsciously search in vain on the Internet, in order to find a photo of a bookstore.Of course, I know that "the old man has gone by the Yellow Crane, and the Yellow Crane Tower is vacant here"-the bookstore is no longer there, but I heard that there is a nameplate on the original site of the bookstore, for book lovers from all over the world to go to remember the tender love related to books.

It cost a lot of money to go to England in person, but fortunately there is internet now. The internet is not like other seas, let alone the Mississippi River that Forrest Gump silently competes with. If you cast any net, it will be a big harvest. Counting is often unexpected.One day, the faint dream about books finally dawned, and it was reflected in the reality of the Internet. I searched for a photo of the legendary nameplate of 84 Charing Cross Road.But I didn't expect that a failed matchmaker, a pleasing literary young woman with Lan Xinhui, a cluster of love buds wafting the clear and cold fragrance of snow mountains, and a love story that was not in silence were also salvaged along with this net. The psychic fire that goes out and explodes in silence...is that enough?It turned out that all of this was just the beginning, and then, there was nothing left in the net, like a fairy mountain hidden deep in the sea slowly emerging from the water, and the golden dome touched the first ray of sunlight, glowing with dazzling brilliance.The so-called beautiful couples like flowers, it turns out that they are really in their own kingdom.

Fairy tales always end: the prince and princess live happily ever after... This fairy tale is a bit special, like the unified sequel of all fairy tales that don't say much about what comes after.My only advice is: maintain a good attitude as a bystander, and avoid being suspicious because of jealousy, and refusing to admit that there are really things in the world that are too good to be true. It all started with a fat man with fluttering legs on the plateau.He worried about his friends who had to stay in England for a few months for some reason, and stood on a high hill to look around. It happened that his blog was also an unofficial information exchange station, and those who offered advice and suggestions rushed to follow.In this way, a girl on the other side of the ocean came into view, and she couldn't help but write happily.I only wrote half of the introduction text, and found that the girl is already a happy early married person, and wherever she goes, there is always a "sunshine handsome" behind her. Brad Pitt has a fight, all of which are included in the list of humane destruction; on the one hand, he bitterly described this Mingji classmate as "a nasty ghost + a dog with a tail".There is never a shortage of good people on the Internet. One He Caitou’s good intentions fell, and thousands of “explorers” stood up. Someone immediately contributed the detailed information of the young couple, and someone broke the news on Mingji’s blog. So, “ Love was unearthed during the spread of SARS - in the sea of ​​bits.

In fact, I, like He Caitou, refused to admit that this love is legendary, "Isn't it just that I went to Tibet, fell in love for a while, overcame the problem of separation between the two places, and traveled the whole world for two and a half weeks to get married?" This is the reason why Eileen Chang used the words of Shijun in the book to express emotion: "The person he loves also loves him. This is a very common thing in the eyes of others, but it seems to be a once-in-a-lifetime coincidence for him." Why is it a once-in-a-lifetime coincidence in the eyes of others that what seems to be a common thing for both parties involved?The love story of Fu Zhen, a girl from Jiangxi, and Ming Ji, a boy from Hong Kong, who met Tibet and Dali and reunited in London, is regarded as a legend on the Internet. He Caitou, who has made countless enemies, was also moved by this, and single-handedly contributed to the freeze-frame of online articles on paper (equivalent to being a matchmaker of another nature), and achieved a good story of "four-handed bombing", precisely because of its simplicity.But just believe in two words—believe in love, believe that love is worth working hard for, and believe that dreams will come true one day.

It is our indifference, lethargy, living within our means, and giving up easily, which complicate the simple things, make love a troublesome matter, and make "Aventure" popular in the name of "love". The ashes of the past are reflected in the chattering memories, slowly shaping our sophisticated and hard hearts. Countless people entered Tibet with a copy of "Tibetan Cowhide Book" (I was one of them), but only two of them got their own. This alone is enough reason to buy it.As I read, I also gossip about laying out a detailed timeline of this story that has rushed forward with incredible courage and enthusiasm:

2003-04-25: Reunion in Lhasa at Balang School Hotel. 2003-04-29: Traveling together, the destination is Mount Everest Base Camp. 2003-05-03: Back to Lhasa. 2003-05-07: The heroine of the story, Zhen, left Lhasa and flew to Dali via Kunming in Chengdu. 2003-05-08: Mingji, the hero of the story, left Lhasa and returned to Nanjing, where the company was assigned. 2003-05-10: Ming Ji flew from Nanjing to Hong Kong. 2003-05-11: The romantic itinerary of going thousands of miles to an appointment officially started, but we can't ignore the 12-hour non-stop hard work of Mingji students: Hong Kong-Shenzhen-Kunming-Dali.In the middle, he changed a variety of means of transportation, namely: trains, planes, and tourist buses.

A week later: Zhen also embarked on a series of journeys, Dali-Kunming-Guangzhou-Shenzhen. As a direct result, Mingji joined the tired crowd who commuted between Shenzhen and Hong Kong every day.Feel the precious time of being together in the time urgency, lasting 17 days. 2003-06-20 to 23: Ming Ji flew to Beijing. 2003-07: I really flew to Hong Kong, the hometown of Mingji, and stayed for six days.Afterwards, he went to study in the UK.At this time, Mingji was also silently preparing to go to work in the UK. 2003-08-31: At London Heathrow Airport, the two people who endured the torment of "separation-reunion-separation" finally hugged each other happily.

2004-05-12: On Zhen's birthday, classmate Mingji proposed. 2004-06-12: A fairy tale that lasted a little more than a year came to an end. At the same time, a fairy tale with no end began. The two held a frugal and solemn wedding in Birmingham. I admit that I am very gossip, I admit that I am still hopelessly "Anti-Romantism (anti-romantic)", the first reaction after listing this timetable is: what a "luxury" love!Flying around in a short period of time, each meeting is not only a huge waste of time and spirit, but also a bottomless pit of money gains and losses.Even in today's society, which claims to be extremely rich in material resources, I believe that at least half of the people's ability to pursue romance is easily ruled out.Here I have no malicious attempt to speculate on the family background of the two. In fact, there is enough information revealed from their words: the woman was born in a scholarly family, but it is far from the level of nouveau riche; Office workers, the purse is not where to go.In the final analysis, it is courage, the courage to put all your life on the line, on the surface it is the courage to spend money like water, but behind it is the courage to desperately grasp the love that may be desperate.Money is often the most effective measure as the most straightforward: the key is not the absolute amount of money, but the relative proportion of money—how much you are willing to pay for what you have.Even if a multi-millionaire flies over to see you every day, it doesn't mean he cares; it is precious sincerity to risk losing his job and travel thousands of miles just to send himself to her as a birthday present.How clever, from the record-breaking farewell hug at the gate of Balang School, she understood: some people, if you miss it, you won't be there.

Behind the encounter is separation, and behind the separation there are two possibilities, allowing the encounter to return or allowing the separation to continue, it is up to you.Both Fu Zhen and Ming Ji made quick judgments during the brief separation, "I can't breathe normally in my life without you", so they acted decisively, even lightning-fast. The role models become poisonous and harm the Quartet, often because we misread the results, distort the process, and blindly believe in the omnipotence of the conditions.It’s like thinking that dropping out of university can become the second Bill Gates. Even if you completely copy the journey between Zhen and Mingji five years ago, it is impossible to copy a perfect love.Please believe in a person who has never drank a whole cup of yogurt alone in Maggie Ami; please believe in a pair of eyes who have seen many love stories that ended without a disease on the road.The sudden burst of enthusiasm seems to be the same, but most of them are parties held for farewell.Cowardice is everywhere, and commonplace wears the cloak of truth.There is a bubble economy, and there is also a bubble love. The heartbroken bubbles cry and cry. Have you ever thought about your own problems: maybe you are broken because you are fragile.You have no gift for believing and therefore are not worthy of trust.If you have a little taste and look forward and backward, you will not see the sun after tomorrow.

The writing is not so beautiful, and the development of the story is not tortuous enough to make people feel disappointed, but the spotless and young love has a pure power of its own, which is moving.Just like the sentence Mr. Shen Congwen wrote many years ago: "I have traveled to many places, crossed bridges in many places, drank different kinds of wine, and seen clouds of different times, but only loved one who is right and the best. People of old age." This ordinary and rare friendship in the world is beautiful enough just to witness it.In the story, one is lively and the other is quiet, but they are both out-and-out activists, fighting regardless of being "later".The real value lies in the later stage of the story. Passion as the powerful driving force of the story is not a kind of burning but a kind of forging. Only then can we see a pair of happy urchins caricature wantonly in daily life, and grow old at ease.

I have read these words in Fu Zhen's blog before, and now I meet again as the postscript of the book, and I am still moved.I really use an old-fashioned word to describe my husband—a humble gentleman: "Mingji is a very pure person, not as simple as a glass of boiled water, but the kind of clarity that is left after slowly filtering out many things. .He has a fresh mind, he is an outright liberal, and he will never be bought by the small favors of life... I think he has his own independent and complete spiritual world, where drinking and falling flowers, the wind and the sun are beautiful. Cattle and sheep have no matter, the common people play chess." So what does a wife look like in the eyes of a husband?After a humorous description soaked in love, Mingji stopped laughing and wrote solemnly: "She is the most special girl I have ever seen—independent personality, thoughtful, not artificial, not squeamish...Thank you, old man, Your presence makes me feel as relaxed and happy as going home every day, as if going to an amusement park or a circus class.” It is said that Cupid's child is highly myopic and often shoots blindly, making our world a mess.But there are times when it is not right, and I seriously suspect that the eyesight is not considered at all, but there are other invisible and intangible things like aura that are only based on feeling and mysterious.The aura between Fu Zhen and Ming Ji is undoubtedly extraordinary and powerful, otherwise how could it be possible that in the winter after marriage, Ming Ji walked into the campus where Zhen grew up, and the expression on his face became more and more strange. passed.Seven years ago, as a member of the "Jiangxi-Zhejiang People's Feelings Investigation and Exchange Group" of the University of Hong Kong, the childish student Mingji was once received by his real father. How could he imagine that among the group of innocent Hong Kong students, one of them would Become his son-in-law many years later.But really, they were still high school students at that time, maybe they had already passed each other on the tree-lined avenue of the campus, in the small bamboo forest by the lake, or in front of the food stall at the school gate.Fate is beyond words, the same trip to Tibet during the "SARS" period turned out to be just an inevitable reunion.No wonder the real parents also went to Tibet later, specifically to visit the Balangxue Hotel where she and Mingji lived in the past, and to Maggie Ami to read the guestbooks that have touched countless people and are full of heartfelt and secrets.The two elderly people left a message to their daughter and son-in-law several years ago: "Because my daughter met her lover here, we also came here..." I have to admit that there are indeed a few lucky people in this world, and some "icing on the cake" stories will happen to them, and the happiness they enjoy is long-lasting and powerful.Thinking about it carefully, the God of Destiny doesn't necessarily favor them more, they don't realize it, but they have nothing else to do, they hold their breath and prepare to go while fate is hesitating. Most of those who are not so lucky may wish to "store" a few pure to unreal love stories in their hearts, as a "secret spring" to draw strength.Whenever the sharp edge of life is nowhere to hide, and the emptiness of love fills the heart, these precious examples can be remembered. In 2008, I wrote a book review for a thin travel book, posted it on Douban, and got the hero in the book to show up in person to express his approval. I think this is the best relationship between a reader and a book up. But God unexpectedly arranged otherwise. It seemed that he especially favored this loving couple and their loyal readers. He thoughtfully contributed to the "tidgets" and gave me the opportunity to interact with them in reality.It is said that I stayed in Lhasa for half a year in 2009, and met A Gang, the owner of Fengzhuan Cafe, whose online name is Uncle Shu.He is also a good friend of Fu Zhen and Mingji, but the reason why I always go to Fengzhuan Cafe is not idolatry, but the two common hobbies of cycling and reading.Uncle Shu's appeal is unparalleled, and travelers who have been to "Feng Zhuan" probably have a deep understanding. Soon, under his lobbying, I followed suit and bought a Sony e-book that was still very trendy and rare at the time.A book in hand is equivalent to owning a mobile library. Bookworms like me can't help but glow with unprecedented enthusiasm, and can enter the reading state at any time regardless of the occasion and location. So the foreshadowing of a wonderful opportunity was planted: Zerang Gonpo, the waiter of Maji Ami, saw that I was always reading with a "book" in his hand, and he had a good impression of me, and solemnly proposed to give me a book.I asked what book it was, and the answer was that I didn’t know, it was given to him by two young people eating in the restaurant as a souvenir or something.I said that it is not good for you to forward the book that someone gave you to me. Gonpo said that there is nothing wrong with it. A book is only a book if you read it. Some unconscious customers go along.Having said that, I have no choice but to accept it with a smile. It was strange, I had a vague intuition at the time.Sure enough, what Gonpo brought the next day was actually a copy.I was overjoyed and exclaimed: "I love this book too, and I even wrote a book review for it." Then I asked gossipingly, what are they like?Gonpo replied, "I can't remember the man, but the woman is very beautiful." Opening the title page and seeing the words written by Fu Zhen and Ming Ji: "We are here to fulfill the five-year agreement", I really have mixed feelings. The gift of the "five-year agreement" given to Lhasa by the couple did not stay in Lhasa as they originally intended because of interlocking opportunities, but came to my bookcase.I was always feeling uneasy until Mingji added me on Weibo and quickly "confessed" the ins and outs of the incident to them. Mingji replied: "You can keep the book. In fact, we are quite destined. You wrote on Douban The book review is very good, we are very touched. In addition, we also like the article you wrote about the Hong Kong bookstore. I hope to have the opportunity to meet in China or Canada in the future, maybe we will meet again during the trip.” We have not met on the journey until now, but we have met countless times in each other's words.Indeed, as the song says: The world is a small family.
