Chapter 525: The Path of the Sun (Part 1)
Under the gray-black sky, the cold wind was howling, the air was cold, and pairs of eyes full of expectation stared at the huge light and shadow screen in the sky.
The girl on the screen had a calm face, a sincere smile on her face, and was full of vitality. She put her hands on the stage, and the people standing beside her were also smiling, but for some reason, everyone's eyes were focused on the girl in the middle. This voice was heard by everyone in the barrier area last night.
She was so anxious that she was almost crying, shouting at the top of her lungs. This voice was full of sincerity, without a trace of falsehood. Someone once said that there are only two kinds of voices in this world, either passing by your ears and disappearing in the wind, or entering your ears, sinking into your heart, and evoking the voice of hope.
Many people heard this voice last night, and the chill was gradually dispelled by the sun's rays. Many people walked towards the guard station at the same time. After being excited at the beginning, they lay on the hard ground exhausted. After calming down, doubts began to stir in the hearts of many people. However, the sun's rays were not short-lived and did not go out quickly. They were so dazzling all night, and the Brilliant City seemed to be asleep, as if a black hole was quietly wrapped in light.
All this is incredible for people who have been in a dark place for many years. The thing called hope that has been sleeping in their hearts for a long time has urged many people to speed up their pace. The original three-day food collection, such a grand occasion, will only appear on the third day. Some people who are far away from the guard station will not come so quickly.
When many people sat on the ground exhausted, they found that the journey was not too far.
"Last night's test was very successful!"
Le Xiao's voice was slightly joyful. For a moment, the expectations in the eyes of the people outside the four guard stations changed slightly. Hope was surging little by little, and many people looked at the city at the same time.
"The city needs to develop. As human beings, we have promoted the progress of the city again and again. Now, as you can see, we live in a highly developed city. It's a pity that I am only 26 years old this year. I can't witness how this dazzling city behind me developed!"
Le Xiao smiled easily, choked up, raised one hand, clenched it into a fist, and pressed it to his heart.
"But I enjoy everything I have now! I get up in the morning, draw the curtains and bask in the sunshine. When I go out, I walk on the clean and spacious streets, go to a small shop and have a breakfast made of fresh wheat flour. I take a smooth and comfortable subway train and take a nap. When I arrive at the station, I start a new day's work. At lunch, I can enjoy a delicious meal and continue my afternoon work. When the sun sets, I occasionally get together with some friends, maybe go to a quiet little restaurant on a street corner, or find a comfortable bar or tea restaurant. When I return home, , in the brilliant lights, I can lie comfortably on the soft sofa after taking a bath, read a book, listen to music, or watch entertainment programs, movies, TV series, etc., but when sleepiness strikes, I will lie on the bed, pull the quilt over, and fall asleep peacefully! I am actually a child who loves to sleep in since I was a child. If I don’t work, I will wait until the sun shines on the quilt, smell the smell of the sun, hear the hustle and bustle on the street, and feel the warmth of the sun before getting up! "
Le Xiao said with a relaxed smile, blushing for a while, and smiled with a slightly naughty look.
"It’s a pity that I’m a little distressed now because I don’t have a boyfriend yet!"
In a restaurant in the city, many people’s faces are slightly gentle at this time, and some people even have a slight smile.
In the quiet city again, everyone’s eyes are fixed on Le Xiao on the screen and the head of the operation department and the secretaries behind him.
"Thank you!"
Suddenly, Le Xiao’s fist on his chest was horizontal in front of him, and he bowed hard. When he raised his head again, Le Xiao’s face was covered with a trace of sadness.
"Thank you!"
The second time she said the same thing, many people were confused. After Le Xiao stood up, she put her hands on her trouser seams and bowed 90 degrees again. At this time, the section chief next to her and the secretaries behind her followed Le Xiao and bowed 90 degrees, shouting in unison.
"Thank you!"
The third time she said the same thing, Le Xiao sniffed, pressed her right fist tightly against her chest, and her expression became serious.
"The reason why I can enjoy all this is because each of you who is older than me has made the city behind me dazzling after years of hard work, giving me the right to enjoy happiness. Each of you who has shed blood and sweat for the city, whether you are still alive or already asleep! Without you, I can't enjoy everything I have now!"
Le Xiao stretched out her right hand and slowly drew a circle.
"Once, there were many cement workers in the city, but now there are only workers. They disappeared because the city needed to develop. Convenient machines replaced many people, and at the same time, they cruelly deprived people who made a living from cement craftsmanship of everything. They were expelled! Once, there were many laborers in the city. They relied on their own physical strength. In that era of scarce mechanical resources, they used their blood and sweat to carry stones and dig the land, but now they have disappeared because the city needs to develop! The crisscrossing subways, transportation pipelines, and sewage pipelines, I was fortunate to witness some old photos from more than 50 years ago!"
Le Xiao said and pointed to the left, and in an instant, pictures appeared on the corner of the huge light and shadow screen.
In an underground tunnel, with the lights on, a bunch of dirty people wearing hard hats sat around a makeshift dining table made of boxes, talking and laughing, and they looked full of hope. .
"These have all disappeared. When the city's underground construction pattern is completed, these workers who have worked hard for decades and can only rely on their own blood and sweat to continuously excavate the soil underground, shuttle back and forth in the dirty underground Disappeared, the city has developed, and I am now lucky enough to ride the subway! There is no room for these workers to dig in the city. After they put in their blood and sweat, they came to the ground, but they were unable to accept the freshness all year round! Things have become what many people call useless people, because the city needs to develop! We need a better life, more convenience, and better quality, but they can no longer provide any value to the city, and they are treated as illnesses. These people are tortured day by day, and when they get older day by day, they can no longer work, and then they are accompanied by the outrageous argument that useless people have no value in survival. Stop joking about the path you are taking now, and what you are enjoying! Everything was built by these so-called useless people in your mouth with their own lives and their own blood and sweat!"
Le Xiao's hands slowly dropped on the table, and tears flowed out uncontrollably. She remained silent and did not continue speaking. Her throat was constantly choked. After a while, she wiped her tears.
"Because we are human beings, people living on this land, but as long as we are human beings, we will all grow old one day! And when we grow old, everything we have done in the past, even if it is just a small effort, will have no impact. Defined as useless by later generations, our lives have been denied! No kidding, please take a look, please take a good look. The city behind us is bathed in the sun during the day and blooming in the lights at night. You, you and everyone together have built it up bit by bit with one hand. However, if the city wants to develop, useless things will naturally be eliminated. This is a huge paradox. People who have worked hard for the city , but when the city is shining, they step on the Weeping Bridge, because they are useless? Because they are born low? If a person is of no use to the city, then why can the city be built!"
A breeze blew by, Le Xiao raised her head, with two lines of tears hanging on her cheeks. At this time, Locke winked at Michelle, she nodded slightly, and pressed the middle of a round machine with her hands behind her back. .
