When Ma Youyou crossed the company's front desk to go to the public **** area to get water, the little beauty at the front desk called out to her.
Said express, in fact, is a letter.
"There are still people writing to you these days, no less, the talented Editor-in-Chief."
The front desk of the little girl joked, Ma Youyou for the first time did not pick up the conversation, took the letter and went back to the office, the mood of a tense up, only because she saw the letter's address: Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture - Guizhou Kaili.
Wen Yi is teaching in Guizhou.
In 2010, Wen Yi sent a letter to Ma Youyou in the same way, when he was still in Harbin.
"Yoyo, I've decided to go to Guizhou to teach in a place called Kaili.
Good luck, don't miss it."
This was the content of all the letters, and that year, they happened to graduate from college.
Wen Yi is Ma Youyou's first love, to be exact, is her favorite for many years "pen pal".
The two met in the same high school, Wen Yi is a bully, outstanding in every subject.
Yoyo Ma is a math nerd, but she is a brilliant writer, and has won the National New Concept Composition Competition time and time again.
In 2002, an argumentative essay on "The Poet of the Mountains and the River" made Yoyo famous, and it was not like a middle school student could write out the standard.
At that time, Ma Youyou was like a legend in the middle school, and even the class teacher who taught math had forgotten her 56-point math paper.
It was Wen Yi who first recognized Yoyo, and approached her with the idea of "meeting friends through poetry".
"The mountains and rivers are not heavy enough, but it is important to meet a friend."
This is the first time Wen Yi handed over a small note with this poem written by Bao Sol.
It seems to be echoing the arguments of the poet's friendships within the article that won Ma Youyou the prize.
"Friends are like paintings that must be light, and mountains are like essays that don't like flatness."
You replied to Wen Yi's little note.
The two of them, since this time, have been out of control, from a small note to a long letter, they are like different landscapes in that era, at the age of love, filling the whole night with letters and moonlight.
"All human suffering is essentially anger at one's own impotence."
"I was mathematically incompetent, but I was not angry, so I did not feel pain."
"This is the result of your unwillingness to come to your senses, preferring to keep indulging in indulgences."
"I'd like to contradict you, but deep thought just doesn't make sense. I wish I were a star myself; if I could shine, there would be no need to be afraid, and if I were so wonderful myself, then all fear could be dissipated."
"People live in a world where pleasure and pain are inherently indistinguishable."
......
This was a conversation between the two men who had both been hooked on Wang Xiaobo for some time.
The two were like a pair of alternatives in their playful school days when they would discuss incredibly deep philosophical issues such as "why do people want to live, and what is the essential difference between human beings and animals ......".
Occasionally the pair would return to reality, sitting together on the grass at the playground and looking to the future.
But when they talked about it, the two were always tongue-tied, unlike the witticisms that come with discussing literature.
"What college do you want to go to?"
"Renmin University of China."
"Oh."
"And you?"
"I want to go to medical school."
"Oh."
The two would slip letters to each other's desks, would meet up to go to the city library together, only, after all, it wasn't about love.
Until one day, Ma Youyou received a letter with this sentence:
"The spring water is beginning to grow, the spring forest is beginning to bloom, the spring wind is ten miles, not as good as you."
This day is the third day after their college entrance examination.
The two met for a graduation trip, and the agreed location was Tibet.
"I only wish that your heart is like my heart, and I will not be ashamed of my love for you."
This is the reply given by Ma Youyou on the way to Tibet.
The two were together as a matter of course, and it took them three years to go from poetry to poetry.
After a month, both of them were as they wished, Ma Youyou received a letter of acceptance from the People's University of China using her specialties as she wished, and Wen Yi received a letter of acceptance from Harbin Medical University.
A Beijing, a Heilongjiang, fortunately, are in the north, not particularly far.
This is more of a continuation of the habit of writing to each other, but Wen Yi will take a long train ride to Beijing, and become a couple of two people or talk about literature to be more comfortable, but talk about very few things in life.
For example, when Ma Youyou indulged herself, Wen Yi would say:
"If you don't make an effort in your youth, you'll be sad in your old age."
And when exasperated by the coldness of his roommates, Wen Yi would say:
"Don't worry about the road ahead, the world who doesn't know you."
Moody will hear:
"Jun tonight must be intoxicated, honor before the talk about tomorrow's affairs."
......
Friends are teasing Ma Youyou's boyfriend is the most handsome doctor who can recite poems.
Ma Youyou sometimes do not like this Wen Yi, sometimes even want to tell him: can not speak properly ......
Wen Yi organized a poetry and painting club in the university, or living in his poetic literary world, like the immortal.
Ma Youyou went to work as a trainee reporter, and the atmosphere of life became stronger and stronger.
When the reporter is a very tired thing, Ma Youyou never dare to complain with Wen Yi, because Wen Yi will come up with a pile of theories to discuss with Ma Youyou.
Then Xiao Xu appeared at the side of Ma Youyou, he will not be like Wen Yi as a crepuscular reading poetry, but will be thoughtful to Ma Youyou a cup of hot water, put a coat, or a simple hug.
Ma Youyou was so full of human feelings and life Xiao Xu fascinated, and Wen Yi broke up.
Even the breakup also came to be very calm:
"This goes through the years, but it is a good time and a good view of the false."
Then the two no longer contact, the two together for two years, add up, has been writing letters for five years, the habit came to an abrupt end.
Xiao Xu is and Ma Youyou before graduating from college broke up, Xiao Xu can not stand the poetic Ma Youyou, fell in love with the animation design of a small loli.
Then he received a letter from Wen Yi to Ma Youyou, and was told that he was going to teach in Guizhou.
By this time, Ma Youyou had already entered the workplace.
She suddenly remembered the day she broke up with Xiao Xu, who said:
"Life isn't a peach blossom for you, so be realistic, OK?"
She smiled dementedly:
You say I'm not realistic, look at the person I loved before, he is a real idealist.
"I want to learn to heal people, I can't bear to see the eyes of those who have lost their loved ones in pain."
These were the words behind Wen Yi's comment that he wanted to go to medical school when they were discussing going to college.
"When I have the chance in the future I want to go to the mountains, see those children in the mountains and write poems for them."
This is the summer after the college entrance examination, Wen Yi looked at the sky and said to Ma Youyou.
"I want to finish studying ancient Chinese poetry and live in the beauty of poetry all the time."
Once Wen Yi came to Beijing from Harbin, he told Ma Youyou.
In fact, there was another sentence that followed, which Wen Yi did not say out loud.
"Will you accompany me?"
Before going to college, Ma Youyou always loved to write, her dream is to become a good writer, so she has been living in their own world, but happened to meet a like-minded living in their own world of Wen Yi, and then went to college, she worked as a reporter, and gradually integrated into the life, but slowly lost their own world.
The only thing that has changed is her original self.
The only one who has been doing this is Wen Yi, and he is perfectly at home in his own world, with his own hobbies, a group of like-minded friends, not far from society, and has not discarded his original self.
The green mountain will not change, the green water will flow forever.
To Yoyo:
Hello Yoyo, I haven't seen you for many years, I don't know if you can be good?
Seven years have not been renewed, there are months and months missing in the sky, and there is love on earth.
I've been thinking about you for a long time, but I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to see you.
This little place I was in, named Kerry, I entered a big mountain, there are many lovely children, their dark face emanating childish smiles make me moved, I will be invisible to this, a goodbye for many years.
During these seven years, I published three books of poems, and in fact the first draft was much more than that.
The doctor's instincts, the medical equipment in the mountains is very backward, and it pains me that many people do not want to choose to believe in the doctor, but to care about the mountains to collect medicine, I can not bear.
Many times follow the folks on the mountain, dominated by Western medicine, I actually will be harvested in the bag in the past few years, and even have the meaning of the Shennong tasted all kinds of grass.
The life here is very good, the sunshine of the mountain is full of fresh grass flavor.
I waited for the sun to rise every day and slept with the moonlight at night.
The first time I saw this, I was able to see the world's most beautiful woman, and I was able to see the world's most beautiful woman, and I was able to see the world's most beautiful woman.
That is, I am thinking of you.
More than a few friendships, but the love is deep.
The old man in the mountains encouraged me to write this letter, and I hope you will personally open it.
The person who encouraged me to write this letter has passed away three years ago, and I am determined to write this letter.
I don't see you in the mountains, but the snow is empty.
I thought I would write this letter three years ago and wait for a reply from you, and then I would return.
But I have been thinking about this for a long time, and I've met the person I want to meet before the 300th day and night.
The first time I saw this, I was able to see it in the back of my head.
The girl saw through me, may I write this letter to do a discreet farewell to you.
A close friend in the sea, far-flung realms.
Such as empty, invite you to this, the body of true love on earth.
Lightly disturbed, apologize, also do not miss.
Wen Yi
II-VI, April
Ma Youyu read Wen Yi's letter, looked up and looked around the office, as if he had just woken up from another world.
That was Wen Yi's world.
That world, filled with the poetic feelings he wanted, it was poetry and faraway places.
And the world in front of Ma Youyou, seemingly gorgeous, is meticulous, but very real.
She is already the editor-in-chief of a famous newspaper, but she has put down her writing for many years.
She woke up, this is a real sense of farewell ceremony, but also to share nostalgia for that period of time is difficult to meet the opportunity.
Wen Yi gave the address, Ma Youyou decided to go to that place, do a farewell, witness Wen Yi's happiness.
She gave her husband Wang Lu a call, Wang Lu understood, booked three tickets, with children, to find the original heart of the yo-yo, but also a glimpse of the legendary poet published in his publisher's book of poems Wen Yi.
Once upon a time, we all wanted to live in the life we created, which is full of poetry and faraway places, and then we came into contact with this colorful world, and gradually lost, some people forget, and some people quietly adhere to.
The kind of life you want to live, there must be someone who is living it.
The kind of feelings you want, there must be someone to enjoy.
But only your life right now is real, and how it really is, only you know.
We grew up together, but we grew up separately, we lost each other, but we found the old days.
What about the people who once made promises with you?
Did you fulfill the promise you made to yourself?
In fact, what is the importance of these?
What matters is that we are truly being ourselves.
The world before us is what we make of it.
Mayo has known for a long time that she is not the same person as Wen Yi, but she no longer envies him, because she has also created the world she really wants.
Doing his favorite work, married a love and suitable for him, life is full of dishes and oil and salt smoke and fire, but occasionally by the poetic surprises impressed, the ground running a sweet shouting mom's daughter, as well as his affectionate eyes, this life, she felt has been good.
When I was very young, I thought the most romantic thing in the world is a person to run a long way to see another person, and say to him, I will love you for 10,000 years.
Later I realized that 10,000 years is too long, and we only fight for the night.
But I still think it's romantic for a person to run a long way to see another person.
It's just that we have been able to say goodbye to each other after a long time.
Still love your righteousness, but more love your years without waves.
"If you don't owe each other, how will you meet."
