I have written Xiao Hong’s story many times on the headlines, but at that time I didn’t know where he was going, but I just felt deeply sorry for him. When I returned home this time, I learned about his situation from the villagers, and I no longer felt sorry for him, but was very angry with him.
Xiao Hong was indeed the most promising person in our village, no doubt about it.
He is three years older than me and is a classmate with my brother. When he was in elementary school or junior high school, he was not showing any sign of dew. He is the kind of person who doesn't like to talk much, just as the saying in our hometown often says, "has a weak and sarcastic spirit." Therefore, compared with some classmates who love to play and make fun of him, he doesn't seem outstanding.
After entering the high school in the town, Xiao Hong became excellent. Every mid-term and final exams, Xiao Hong must be on the list. On the radio and on the window, you often hear or see Xiao Hong's name. His grades are among the best, and being praised is common.
I was in my first year of high school, and Xiaohong was in my third year of high school. One morning it was drizzling and I was not good at riding my bike, so I had to walk to school. I happened to meet Xiao Hong, and without saying a word, he rode my bike with me to school. From that day on, I have become familiar with him and I am very grateful to him.
After graduating from high school, Xiaohong was admitted to Harbin Institute of Technology . This school is very famous and is well-known for us. That year, Xiao Hong passed the exam with three or four college students, and he got the best.
According to his family, Xiao Hong has been in college for four years and has published many papers. After graduation, Xiaohong went to work in a unit in Beijing because of his strong hardware conditions and the recommendation of his roommate's father. This unit is a space researcher and corresponds to Xiaohong's major. Xiao Hong arrived at the unit and was as if he was in water.
Unexpectedly, when Xiao Hong returned home a year later, he told his father that he was not very satisfied with his work. The paper he published was plagiarized by his leader, and the first author signed the leader's name. Xiaohong said he didn't want to work in this unit anymore and wanted to study for a postgraduate degree. The father said, "Xiaohong, our family is in trouble! Seeing that your younger brother Xiaojiang has grown up, he needs to build a house for his wife, and his family can't afford to go to graduate school."
Xiaohong seemed helpless when he heard this, so he had to go back to continue working. A few years later, Xiaohong's father was hospitalized after falling ill. He called Xiaohong. Xiaohong returned to visit his father, left some money for his father, and then went back. That time was Xiaohong's last time going home. A few years later, Xiaohong's father passed away and could not contact Xiaohong, and he did not come back to attend the funeral.
Xiaohong's old mother missed Xiaohong, so she asked her old son Xiaojiang to go to Beijing to find her brother. Xiaojiang went to the unit where Xiaohong worked in Beijing. The unit said that Xiaohong resigned a few years ago, and they didn't know where he went.
Xiaohong has disappeared from then on and his whereabouts are unknown. Every time I go home, I see Xiao Hong's old mother, an old lady in her 80s, sitting on the steps at the back door, with her gray hair, which makes people feel very pitiful.
After I went to work in Beijing, I said to Xiaohong's mother, "Why should I go to the unit where Xiaohong worked to ask?" The old mother just said "ah" and shook her head, not speaking. I clearly saw tears flowing from the corners of her eyes.
More than twenty years have passed in a blink of an eye. During this period, Xiao Hong has never heard of him, which has become a legend in our mouths.
This summer, I returned to my hometown. The first news I got was that Xiao Hong had news. I hurriedly asked my brother, "Where is Xiaohong?"
My brother shook his head and said, "Xiaohong has become a monk." For many years, people in Sanli and Wucuns have known that Xiaohong is missing. This spring, Xiao Hong's classmates from the neighboring village went to Wutai Mountain to visit and unexpectedly saw Xiao Hong in Wutai Mountain. After returning, he quickly came to Xiaohong's house to tell Xiaohong's old mother and younger brother Xiaojiang.
Xiaojiang and his cousins went to Wutai Mountain to find Xiaohong. The moment Xiao Hong saw Xiao Jiang, he said coldly: "I have cut off my relationship and will not go back. You don't have to come here in the future. I will leave this place immediately." After that, he got up and left.
Xiao Jiang and his party returned home and told their old mother about this. The old mother wiped her tears and said, "Okay, don't look for him again in the future, just think he is dead."
The villagers talked about this matter, but they didn't understand it. Everyone knows that Buddhism was born, but Buddhism pays more attention to compassion. Xiao Hong has no children and wife, so he has no concern in this regard, but he has to be compassionate to his old mother. He can't even do basic compassion. How can he be compassionate to all living beings?
I was very angry after hearing Xiao Hong's news. In an instant, the role model in my eyes collapsed. I wish I could find him immediately, grab him, beat him, and carry him home, so that he could see his nearly 90-year-old mother. He said to him: "Even if you become a monk, you will still take your 90-year-old mother to become a monk. Filial piety is the first priority for all virtues. Buddhism must first cultivate filial piety. If you don’t even have filial piety, what sutras do you take and what fruits will you practice? ! "
But I can only be angry for nothing. Although there is news from Xiao Hong, he still doesn't know where to go.
was once the most promising person in our village. He just disappeared like a yellow crane and hid in the temple. Perhaps, he can get great freedom there.
