Instead, it looks like seeing the movement mark on the stage. Following the guidance, A Zhang became a heavy figure with a large pattern and low tone in front of his old classmates.




Two years ago, when Ah Zhang left in the Navy Hospital, it was a sunny autumn day. The afternoon sunlight fell on A Zhang's face who had just passed away. No one had the heart to remove the oxygen tube at the end of his nose, and we watched him around the bed.

The nurse said, please come up with two men. Classmate Haibo held A Zhang's head, and I leaned over and hugged A Zhang's legs wearing new leather shoes, the soles with 42-digit soles, which pressed against my chest. The two nurses were separated on both sides.

All morning, A Zhang's lung function quickly became necrotic, making it even more difficult to breathe. At this moment, Ah Zhang no longer needs to breathe in an extremely painful way. He was just over sixty and was at his mercy. The four men held him up and gently moved into a light-colored non-woven bag. The nylon zipper slowly pulled up, squeaking, and the sound seemed familiar, and Ah Zhang's life was closed. Heartache made me confused and I had an instant hallucination. The person lying in the cloth bag was me. I was also as clear as spiritually, remembering the creaking sound of the zipper, which was exactly the sound of the mouse when it was moving. When I came to my senses, I was already following the team. The front is the silent light-colored cloth bag on the four-wheel stretcher.




975, A Zhang became a household name near Xiangming Middle School. The sound of his footsteps of chasing the enemy for dozens of meters was blown away by the female classmate's face. Back then, he said he was a problem boy, but he did come out of work-study school and became my classmate when he was in the second grade of middle school. He said he was an ignorant person, but he was only fourteen or fifteen years old at that time.

A few years ago, more than 40 years later, middle school classmates started a party with illegitimate mistakes. I remember that during the graduation celebration in 1978, a bunch of classes were admitted to universities, and the rest were another group. This also includes taking photos and souvenirs, and it is also automatically divided into tiers. It was strange that as soon as I entered the sixtieth stage, it gathered like assorted candy. Those who are worthy of and able to talk about are one group, completely ignoring social roles. From first-level professors of , scientists studying abroad, leaders of Hongtuan, actors, and mental illness experts of the past, to owners of ramen restaurants, property security guards, funeral shop owners, students of work-study , and bad drivers, they gathered together.

We and A Zhang and ten others drank wine once in the tavern run by a friend, and it was very pleasant. The experiences of the attendees were colorful and highly personal. When chatting in different lines, I feel that I have gained knowledge.

Some of these classmates who are familiar with each other at the age of fourteen have already made their mark. What’s fun is that no one ignores the natural order of hierarchy among male classmates at the age of fourteen. The number of seats in youth is the greatest one who is the one who is least bullied by others; regardless of background, wealth, and homework. A Zhang really had the greatest voice back then. This is the truth of that era




Today's old classmate, who gave A Zhang very much face and respected him. Everyone doesn't care that he is a social security person, but instead read from him that he is steadfast after walking through the mountains and rivers. And Ah Zhang also knew how to put it on the scales nowadays and his own weight. However, the psychological advantage of hibernation for decades has awakened like a conditioned reflex. A Zhang felt wonderful and restrained his old arrogance. This kind of restraint did not bring him depression, but instead looked like seeing the movement marks on the stage. Following the guidance, Ah Zhang became a heavy figure with a large pattern and low tone in front of his old classmates. Everyone is saying that Ah Zhang’s experience at the level of the three religions and the next level is not something that anyone who reads a few books can speak the same way.

A Zhang has indeed encountered various experiences, and in terms of background, he has become more wise, understanding and willing to fulfill. These colors may not be seen in the students who are soaring up. Different worlds give birth to different feathers, only differences are different, and no distinction can be distinguished.

The banquet ended late at night. Ah Zhang wanted to repeat the happiness of the day as soon as possible, and gather again in the near future, and he would be the host. I think time is getting closer. Although Ah Zhang is doing it in a hidden way, he can still see his financial difficulties. Usually, you will encounter someone who suddenly takes out a thick stack of cash from his pocket and rushes to pay. If this happens every time, or prefer it; and there is one in seven or eight miles, it is often because the input is not very stable and you want to get some decentness, A Zhang is the latter. In addition, he sometimes brings two packs of different cigarettes, which are better for treating guests. These are the second reason why I suggest postponement. A Zhang's little wish to treat him was disappointed because of my kindness. Thinking about it now is sad, all good things should be done as soon as possible.

In recent years, A Zhang's role in the market has become more ordinary than usual. Those who have had ups and downs are often gloomy and sensitive people in their families. Perhaps, some husbands can subdue a tiger for their wife at major junctures, but on weekdays, they are five ants on their wife, which may not be fatal, but annoy their families. A Zhang has no ability to fight tigers, but he is definitely not an ant who is calculating. His care and open-mindedness towards his relatives should be superior to his peers. Although there is no direct basis, it can be inferred from two details.

On the morning before Ah Zhang died, he could no longer lie down, and his breathing was extremely difficult, and his saliva continued to fall. Except for his wife, I caught a glimpse of his wife's two sisters, who had been wiping the corners of his brother-in-law's mouth. It is unlikely that people who are usually disdainful of this kind of care will be difficult to receive. During the funeral of A Zhang, the daughter born to his wife and ex-husband gave a thank-you speech on behalf of her family. In many places, she called A Zhang my father and my father with tears in her eyes, and my heart trembled. It can be imagined that the stepfather's daily behavior was respected by this daughter. I never thought that A Zhang, who was extremely fierce when he was young, would be able to achieve this level of excellence when he was the role of son, husband, son-in-law and stepfather.


Of course, A Zhang also has something that has not changed for decades.

It is still difficult to read gentleness from his face. The frequent and explosive words of foul words still do not lose their past standards. Once, I was drinking coffee in the open air. I said, we are all sixty years old, so we should at least have less words to scold our parents. A Zhang rolled his eyes at me fiercely and said, "What do you mean, teach me a lesson."

I think this is still untouchable. Unexpectedly, he continued, brother, I'm sorry. At this age, I still understand how good or bad it is. In the past, I kept drinking coffee spoonful by spoonful. Suddenly, a woman told me, "My friend, only those who have been shot in the brain drink coffee like this." Such words sound even worse than cursing, and I really want to lift the table. But with this sentence, I married her as my wife. Brother, I promise you, can you give it a try?

is not common, and there is no reminder, A Zhang's correction has not improved yet. He only has a set of words to express emotions, and he is very clear about it. For many years, when I glared at me, dirty words had already popped up in my mouth. When I saw A Zhang several times, he always said, "Brother, I care about this matter, and I will make it more or less refreshing."

is really refreshing now, and even his people are gone.

77 most people born in the year of the rat. I always feel that the zipper of the body bag makes a rat-like squeak. It was A Zhang who told me before leaving that he had not had time to complete what he promised, so he asked me to wait.
