Some time ago, "The Second Uncle" became popular on the Internet, and the entire network was either sympathetic or ridiculed, or consumed the suffering of the lower class in a complacent manner. The entire video lasts about fifteen minutes, and I didn’t quickly go forward for a minute to watch it. After watching my second uncle’s experiences and life, I feel that my second uncle is a pitiful person, but also a complimentary person.
Wang Shuo said that the most shameless, sinister and vicious compliments in the world are to use the hardships and sufferings of the poor as inspirational stories to fool the lower class. I agree with Wang Shuo's point of view, but his point of view is not suitable for my second uncle. My second uncle's life is accompanied by suffering, life is difficult, and even struggling. But those who follow these also have the various abilities given to him by life. They never give up their courage, the wisdom to actively learn new knowledge, the family affection that never abandons lightly, and the villagers and family who help and inspire them all around them. These abilities allow my second uncle to write his own gorgeous story with a pair of calluses while accompanying his suffering. Although the body is flawed, the heart is strong; if the body is slightly flawed, the will is constant. This is probably the best description of my second uncle.
Watch my second uncle's video, I always think of my cousin. It's just that different sufferings create the same courageous and kind human nature.
My cousin's real name is Musa, and I call him Brother Sa. If my cousin hadn't passed away, he would be fifty-two years old this year. This should be a time to be happy and enjoy family, but my cousin passed away early, and it always makes me feel sad when I think about it. When my cousin was three years old, his father, my uncle, passed away. My uncle was only thirty-nine years old when he died. It is said that I had cancer, and it only took more than five months from illness to infiltrating. The cause of the incident was just to lose a horse. At that time, a horse might be more precious than human life, so my uncle was slapped by his uncle. The anxiety and shame made this rural man bedridden. In less than half a year, he passed away, leaving only his three-year-old cousin and one-year-old cousin.
My dad sometimes says that the boss in our family doesn’t have a long lifespan. My cousin is also the eldest of our generation in the family. After the uncle passed away, the aunt alone raised the brother and sister with great difficulty. As an adult, Brother Sa first went to Lanzhou to make a fortune, but because he studied too little and lacked experience, he traveled south to the small town where my family was located in less than a year. At that time, there were no taxis in the small town, so my parents bought a Sanmazi for Brother Sa and asked him to pick up the goods first. Brother Sa is very diligent, goes out early and comes back late, and can endure hardships, so he quickly saved a lot of money. At that time, Brother Sa was already twenty-seven years old and became an older unmarried young man, and his parents arranged to tell him about his partner. Brother Sa has thick eyebrows and big eyes, which is popular among girls. After saying it two or three times, it was done. After getting married, they placed them on the second floor of my house. Brother Sa said confidently in front of our brothers, "I must make more money to support this family. I will not forget the kindness of the second university and second mother, I will repay them well." Brother Sa has never been a person who forgot about love.
At that time, I was still young. He always used the money he earned to pull a cart to buy me peanut candy and 50 cents of chocolate, and he also bought something for my parents. Brother Sa’s sports car is also more diligent and has a good family care. A year later, my eldest nephew also came to this world. Everything seemed to be getting better. Brother Sa once brought his aunt and sister to live with him, but because the relationship between mother-in-law, daughter-in-law and sister-in-law was not very harmonious, the cousin and aunt returned to their hometown.
However, people have good fortune and good fortune at any time. During a car trip, Brother Sa’s car hit a telephone pole on the side of the road because he was avoiding the elementary school student after school, and his left leg was seriously injured. Brother Sa recuperated at home for a while and continued to pull the cart, but his left leg was disabled. Brother Sa’s life changed again. After being depressed at home for a while, he finally healed himself. I started a life of doing housework in sports cars again. The good times didn't last long. My sister-in-law firmly filed for divorce because of Brother Sa's disability. In order not to delay him, Brother Sa agreed. From then on, he returned to his hometown and depended on his mother for life.
Since then, Brother Sa has never remarried. When my aunt died in 2008, Brother Sa became an orphan.He lives alone, goes to live lime, works as a porter, and works as a pot-kwong. After saving a little money, his son would come down and sweep away with his tongue. He was willing to do so, probably his son was his only longing and sustenance in this world.
On September 1, 2019, I was at work. My sister called me and said that Brother Sa had a car accident and was hit near Bafang Shisan Lane. She is now in the state hospital for rescue. I left my hands behind and rushed there. In emergency room , I saw Brother Sa covered in blood, and his mouth was bleeding constantly. A sense of grief and anger surged into my heart. I squatted to Brother Sa’s bedside, wanting to hear him speak, but he could no longer speak. At this time, the doctor came to call me and my family needed to sign the rescue opinion form. I saw the diagnosis that the lungs were ruptured, the spleen was severely torn, and I needed to go to the ventilator. When I got on the ventilator, I saw Brother Sa’s throat surging, and I didn’t know if it was to speak or because of the machine. I think he probably has a lot to explain, his son’s marriage, his own funeral, and his expectations for the future. My father told me that we are not able to do anything in our Hui tribe, and someone must recite scriptures in front of me. I recite scriptures silently at the head of Brother Sa’s bed with a sad heart. I knew he could no longer hold on. About fifteen minutes. The vital signs of reaction on the instrument gradually disappeared. My cousin is gone. I closed his eyes gently and covered his face with a towel, my tears rolling in my eyes, but the grief was silent. A living life ends here.
I often wonder what kind of hardships a person must go through in life so that his life will be complete? How lucky is a person to be able to have food and clothing and live a hasty life freely? All sentient beings suffer, and they can only save themselves!
I often think of the unwilling throat when Brother Sa died. I will also feel pity for myself. I hate these things outside, but these things in them make you not hate by others; I hate rich people who are dressed beautifully, wearing gold and silver, but they are also working hard for a few taels of silver, and even fantasizing about getting rich overnight; I hate standing at a moral high ground, looking down on the sufferings of the world, but I also want to be a tool to change the fate of others; however, what you hate is exactly what you want to be.
The third year after Brother Sa’s death, the movie " Hidden into the Dust and Smoke " was released. This is an art film with rural themes in the northwest. This movie made the world feel the rough yellow sand of the northwest, corroding the body and mind of the people at the bottom. "Hidden Dust and Smoke" was removed from the entire network on September 27. From release to removal, it was just one and a half months, but it caused a hot review. Some people say that this movie over-ugly Chinese people and caters to Westerners just to win Western awards. Some people also say that showing suffering is far better than consumption suffering. The plot of the fourth child in the film that he could only eat an egg until his death made me, a post-80s generation, feel a bit exaggerated, but I can feel the suffering in the film.
"When the wind blows, what can wheat say? When the flying sparrows are pecked by, what can wheat say? When the donkey is gnawed, what can wheat say? When the summer sickle is cut off, what can wheat say?" This classic line is breathtaking and also makes people think for a long time.
I can also see Brother Sa’s shadow from the fourth child. They are all weak people in this society, but they are also strong people who dominate themselves. They can devote their greatest ability to repay the little love they receive, perfectly explaining what "a drop of water is to repay each other with a spring of repatriation".
Yu Hua said, never believe that suffering is worth it. Suffering is suffering. It will not bring success, nor is it worth pursuing to temper will because suffering cannot be avoided. I believe that everyone does not like to suffer, and they do not want to see the people around you suffer.
"I can't protect myself, but I can't see the sufferings of this world." This is probably the feeling of everyone with a conscience!
