Chapter 33 my classmate

Ms. L is the most respected and beloved person by all male and female students in our class.Everyone called her "Sister L".Our male classmates are not ashamed to ask the age of the female classmate, but it is speculated that she will not be much older than us.But she never dresses up, combs her hair high, wears dull clothes, and always calls us by first and last name, and treats us with a blunt, affectionate, big sister attitude.We also coincidentally called her eldest sister sincerely and convincingly. Ms. L is from southern Fujian. She has dark skin, big eyes, and she speaks and does things quickly.Among the classmates, mediation, trouble solving, no matter what kind of gathering or entertainment, as long as Sister L ascends the call, everyone will support and respond.Her advantage is that her attitude is frank, her judgment is fair, and she does not have the shyness and concealment of ordinary female students.You can argue with her, even quarrel, as long as you are the director, she will never admit defeat.At the same time, she is not partial to female students. She thinks that favoring girls is patriarchal; women are human beings, why should they be especially lenient? Our principal once said that she "has the same thinking as men", and we all I thought this was the highest award for her.She has been the class monitor for three consecutive years. Among us, there is no distinction between men and women, or party affiliation. Under the banner of "supporting the leader", we have lived a busy and happy life in the pre-medical department for three years.

In the final year of the pre-medical program, one day, our class teacher suddenly asked me to see him.In the office, he asked me to sit down very politely, and told me tactfully that the school doctor found that there was something wrong with my lungs, and it was not suitable for me to study medicine, so he advised me to transfer to another department.What a bolt from the blue!I decided to study medicine before I was ten years old.Because my mother is very sick, taking traditional Chinese medicine is not very effective. When Western medicine diagnoses a disease, it always listens to the heart and lungs, but my mother is unwilling. Therefore, I made up my mind to study medicine. Heal my mother.In the three years of pre-medicine, the grades are not too bad, and he is about to enter the undergraduate course, but now he has fallen short!When I walked out of the class tutor's office, I could barely walk.

This afternoon class is a physiology experiment.I just sat at the table and watched Miss L opposite me with her sleeves rolled up, her head lowered, pressing a dead cat, dissecting a nerve, the knife cut sharply and quickly!The rest of the students were also busy, and no one noticed me. I called out softly, and Miss L raised her head, and I said, "Sister L, I can't be with you anymore, my instructor won't let me continue my medical studies because the school doctor said I have a lung problem..." Miss L Surprised, he put down the knife and said, "It's not tuberculosis, is it?"

I shook my head and said, "No, it's said that the lung qi branch is enlarged... Anyway, I'm going to change the department, you see!" Sister L was silent for a while, then came over to comfort me and said, "It's a pity, like you Such a gentle and careful person will definitely be a good doctor in the future, but if you are not in good health, studying medicine will not only delay yourself, but also delay others. At the same time, I believe that if you change to other subjects, you will also suffer. Achieved. The route of life is full of twists and turns, is it a blessing in disguise?"

After the class was over, the news spread all over the world, and my classmates all came to express their regrets and comfort me, but Sister L was very practical in deciding which department to transfer to.she says: "You have only one year left to transfer to the university, and the credits are not enough. I'm afraid it will be easier for the Department of Literature." She quickly added, "You have always been very interested in literature. I often think that you are studying medicine. What a pity." I listened to my elder sister and transferred to the Department of Literature.Things that used to be used for entertainment are now read as homework.It was because of "striking the wrong way" that I became more interested in literature, not only reading but also writing.In addition to reading and writing, in the evening, I still often go to their laboratory to chat, listen to Sister L giving orders, and discuss their graduation.

The eldest sister often diligently inquired about my homework and read my works.She always admires my works very much and encourages me to read more and write more.Under her guidance and encouragement, I gradually eliminated the sadness of being forced to change my career, and increased my courage to write.Thinking back to now, if there was no encouragement and persuasion from my eldest sister at that time, I am afraid that I would have become a decadent and not cheered up person at the critical point of the transformation! When I was teaching, Sister L was already a well-known obstetrician.

In the hospital, as in the school, she remained the leader, the beloved center of doctors and nurses.In that big hospital, I had a lot of classmates. Every time I went to the city, I would go there and see them all dressed in white, with stethoscopes on, walking back and forth busily in the neat corridors.Smelling a refreshing medicinal fragrance, I often have an indescribable feeling in my heart, like a wounded and retired soldier, wrapped in bandages, sitting on the top of a hill, watching his partners practice in the square, maybe it is envy, Maybe it's sad, although I still have an increasing interest in my career.

My classmates often asked me to eat in the hospital, smoked and chatted in their lounge, and told me many difficult diseases.A classmate who studies mental illness also told me many stories about mental illness. Sister L often laughed and said: "XXX, these are all materials for your writing, please write them down carefully!" More than a month before the Anti-Japanese War, I came back from Europe, just in time for the alumni homecoming day.That night, our peers had a get-together, and it was a toast!Over the past ten years, more than one hundred of us were at the same level, almost all of whom were well-known and successful, with sons and daughters (of course I was an exception!), everyone came with their relatives, and a very large hall was full.Cheers toasted, children cheered, the eldest sister sat on the right of the chairman, looked around happily, and said that among the dozens of children, ninety-five percent of them were born by her.The wine was hot, and everyone talked about making jokes from their school days, and the situation became more and more lively.The chairman suddenly stood up, knocked on the table and proposed: "Now I ask everyone to take turns to tell, if you were reborn in the next life and could still be a human being, what kind of person would you like to be?" Everyone laughed loudly.So some people said that he would like to be a generalissimo, and some people said that he would like to be a millionaire... When it was my turn, the eldest sister suddenly laughed and said: "Professor ×××, I know that you will definitely want to be a woman in your next life." Everyone laughed; in front of many wives, I felt a little embarrassed, and I also smiled and counterattacked and said: "Doctor L, I know that you will definitely be willing to be a man in your next life." Sister L said: "No, I still want to be a woman, but I want to be a beautiful woman. I'll be a social star and the object of all men's admiration..." She laughed while talking, and the wives stood up and said with a laugh "Miss L, what you said is wrong. Look at your classmates, who doesn't admire you? Come, come, we will punish you with a glass of wine." We all applauded immediately to add to the fun. Sister L's words of relying on the old to sell the old have hurt herself!So the children raised their cups, the ladies poured out the wine, and Sister L refused to accept it, and everyone laughed together.It turned out that Dr. L was a teetotaler, and he was a little drunk that night.

Grand meetings are rare, good times are hard to come by again, that joyous meeting, the reunion of my classmates in twos and threes at the end of the world, I feel a little sad when I think about it. After the accident, I was still in Peiping, feeling very depressed. When I went to the hospital, L The eldest sister often frowned and said to us: "I can't stay any longer. I'm not living here, but living! Let's all go to Free China. Everyone will do their best. You Use your pen, we use our hands, I believe people like us are still needed in the rear!" Everyone nodded.I said: "Your doctors are the first-class talents today. What have I done as a person with a pen holder? If at the beginning..." The eldest sister stopped me and said: "×××, I will not allow you to say such useless words, you I know what you can do, and people who study literature want us to cheer you up, really!"

Within a year, we all quietly left the occupied old capital. Since then, I have never seen our eldest sister L, but this respectable name is often rumored in people's mouths, saying that elder sister L lived in the southwestern In a city, when I put on a military uniform, my gray hair has been cut short.She is struggling with her environment happily and constantly. In the smog and rain, her nimble and vigorous hands have picked up thousands of children of the Chinese nation.She not only guides them to birth, but also guides their parents to find unlimited nourishment in limited food.She is creating countless future national fighters!

I hope that in the not-too-distant future, when we return to the old capital to reopen the class meeting, I can say to her: "Sister L, I would rather be a woman in my next life, but I must be a woman like you!" male, later income. )
