When Yo-Yo Ma went through the front desk of the company to pick up water in the public area, Xiaomei at the front desk stopped her.
Express delivery is actually a letter.
"There are people writing to you these days. You are really a talented editor. "
Xiaomei at the front desk joked. Yo-Yo Ma didn't answer the phone for the first time, so she returned to the office with the letter. She was very nervous because she saw the address of the letter: Kaili, Guizhou, Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture in the southeast of Guizhou.
Wen Yi teaches in Guizhou.
On 20 10, Wen Yi also wrote a letter to Yo-Yo Ma who was still in Harbin at that time.
"Youyou, I decided to teach in Guizhou. That place is called Kaili.
I wish you peace, don't look. "
This is the content of all the letters. That year, they just graduated from college.
Wen Yi is Yo-Yo Ma's first love, specifically, her "pen pal" who has been fond of for many years.
They met in the same middle school. Wen Yi is a principal with excellent grades in all subjects.
Ma Youyou is a math idiot, but his literary talent is outstanding. He has won the first prize in the National New Concept Composition Competition for many times.
In 2002, an argumentative essay "A poet knows ancient mountains and rivers" made Yo-Yo Ma famous, which was not written well by a middle school student.
At that time, Yo-Yo Ma was like a legend in middle school. Even the head teacher who teaches math forgot her 56-point math test paper.
It was Wen Yi who first took a fancy to the way of getting on the horse and approaching her, but it was actually "meeting friends with poetry".
"The mountains and rivers are not heavy enough. It is important to meet a bosom friend."
This is the first time that Wen Yi gave me a small piece of paper with Bao Rong's poem written on it.
It seems that in the article echoing Ma Youyou's award, the argument that poets make friends is discussed.
"Painting friends must be light, and paper mountains don't like peace."
You replied to Wen Yi's text message.
From this time on, the two became out of control, from small notes to long letters. They are like different landscapes of that era. In the era of "Seeds of Love", the letter was full of moonlight all night.
"All human sufferings are essentially anger at their own incompetence."
"I am not good at math, but I am not angry, so I don't feel pain."
"You don't want to be sober, you'd rather indulge in indulgence all the time."
"I want to refute you, but the result of deliberation is that I can't say clearly. I wish I were a star. If I can shine, I don't have to be afraid. If I am so beautiful, then all my fears can disappear. "
"People live in the world, and happiness and pain are inseparable."
......
This is a conversation between them that Wang Xiaobo has been fascinated by for some time.
Two people, like a pair of different people, will discuss extremely profound philosophical issues in the laughing and slapping campus era, such as "Why do people live, the essential difference between people and animals ..."
Occasionally, the two will return to reality and sit on the grass in the playground together to look forward to the future.
However, speaking of these words, the two always hesitate, unlike the witty remarks when discussing literature.
"What university do you want to enter?"
"China Renmin University."
"Oh."
"What about you?"
"I want to go to a medical university."
"Oh."
Two people will send letters to each other's desks and meet to go to the city library, but they have nothing to do with love.
Until one day, Yo-Yo Ma received a letter that read:
"Spring water is born, spring forest is blooming, and the spring breeze 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 place was Tibet.
"I just hope that your heart is the same as mine and you won't miss it."
This is the answer given by Yo-Yo Ma on his way to Tibet.
It took them three years to get together naturally, from making friends with poems to ending their feelings with poems.
A month later, both of them got their wish. Yo-Yo Ma got the admission notice from Renmin University of China and Wen Yi got the admission notice from Harbin Medical University.
One is Beijing and the other is Heilongjiang. Fortunately, they are all in the north, not particularly far away.
This enabled them to continue their habit of correspondence, but Wen Yi will go to Beijing by long-distance train. The lovers are more comfortable to talk about literature, but seldom talk about things in life.
For example, when Yo-Yo Ma indulged himself, Wen Yi would say:
"Young people don't work hard, but the elderly are sad."
When I was left out by my roommate, Wen Yi would say:
"Mochow has no confidant in the road ahead, and no one in the world knows you."
If you are in a bad mood, you will hear:
"You must be intoxicated tonight, not to mention the Ming Dynasty, in order to be respected."
......
Friends joked that Yo-Yo Ma's boyfriend is the most handsome doctor who can read poetry.
Sometimes Yo-Yo Ma doesn't like this essay, and sometimes he even wants to tell him: Can't you talk properly? ......
Wen Yi founded a poetry and painting club in the university, and still lives in his poetic literary world, like an out-of-touch fairy.
Yo-yo Ma went to work as an intern reporter, and his life became more and more tense.
Being a reporter is very tiring, but Yo-Yo Ma never dares to complain to Wen Yi, because Wen Yi will come up with a lot of theories to discuss with Yo-Yo Ma.
At this time, Xiao Xu appeared beside Yo-Yo Ma. He won't read poetry like Wen Yi, but he will give Yo-Yo Ma a cup of hot water, a coat or a simple hug.
Yo-Yo Ma was fascinated by Xiao Xu, who was full of human feelings and life, and broke up with Wen Yi.
Even if you break up, it's calm:
"After many years, it turned out to be a good time."
Later, the two stopped contacting each other and stayed together for two years. They wrote letters together for five years, and this habit came to an abrupt end.
Before graduating from college, Xiao Xu and Yo-Yo Ma broke up. Xiao Xu couldn't stand the poetic Yo-Yo Ma and fell in love with a little girl who designed animation.
Later, I received a letter from Wen Yi to Ma Youyou, and was told that he was going to teach in Guizhou.
At this time, Yo-Yo Ma has entered the workplace.
She suddenly remembered the day she broke up with Xiao Xu, and Xiao Xu said:
"Life is not your poetic paradise. Why not be realistic? "
She smiled foolishly:
You said I was unrealistic. Look at the people I loved before. He is a real ideal home.
"I want to learn how to heal people. I can't bear to see the eyes of those who have lost their loved ones. "
This is what Wen Yi said when they discussed the college entrance examination. He wanted to take the college entrance examination.
"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 looks at the sky and says to Yo-Yo Ma.
"I want to finish learning China's ancient poems and live in the Miri, Malaysia of poetry."
On one occasion, Wen Yi came to Beijing from Harbin and said to Yo-Yo Ma.
In fact, there is a sentence behind, Wen Yi didn't say it.
"Would you like to accompany me?"
Before going to college, Yo-Yo Ma always loved writing. Her dream is to be an excellent writer, so she lives in her own world, but she happened to meet a like-minded Wen Yi who lives in her own world. Later, I went to college, became a reporter, gradually integrated into life, but slowly lost my own world.
Only the original self has changed.
The only person who has been being himself is Wen Yi, but he is being himself perfectly in his own world. He has a hobby that he has always adhered to and made a group of like-minded friends. He didn't stay away from society, and he didn't abandon himself.
The green hills do not change, and the green waters flow forever.
To You You:
Hello, it's been years. I wonder how you are.
After seven years, there is a moon in the sky, and there is love in the world.
I miss you, and I long for Iraq.
I'm in this little place called Kaili. I entered a big mountain. There are many lovely children here. I was moved by their innocent smiles on their dark faces, so I became invisible here.
In the past seven years, I have published three poems, but the first draft is far more than that.
Based on the doctor's intuition, the medical equipment in the mountains is very backward. What makes me sad is that many people don't want to trust doctors, and I don't have the heart to go up the mountain to collect medicine.
I have followed the villagers up the mountain many times and led western medicine. In recent years, I have actually harvested Chinese herbal medicines, which means that Shennong has tasted all kinds of herbs.
Life here is great, and the sunshine in the mountains is full of fresh grass.
I wait for the sun to rise every day and sleep in the moonlight at night.
In the past, all kinds of desires have long been put down, which is actually just one thing.
That is, the four kings.
How much friendship is not self-sufficient, but how much affection is deep.
An old man in the mountain urged me to write this letter. I want you to open it yourself.
The instigator died peacefully three years ago, and I am determined to write this letter.
I haven't seen you in the winding mountain road, leaving only a row of horseshoe prints.
I wanted to write this letter three years ago. When you reply to me, I will go home.
I can think in various ways, but 300 days and nights ago, I met the person I wanted again.
Life can be put down, and that's it.
This girl sees through me and wants me to write this letter as a cautious farewell to you.
After all, the world is just a small place.
If you are free, inviting you here is the true feelings of the world.
Don't bother, don't apologize, and don't watch.
Wen Yi
20 17 April
After reading Wen Yi's letter, Yo-Yo Ma looked up and looked around the office as if he had just woken up from another world.
This is Wen Yi's world.
That world is full of the poetry he wants, which is poetry and distance.
The world before Yo-Yo Ma looks gorgeous, but it's embarrassing, but it's real.
She used to be the editor-in-chief of a famous newspaper, but she has stopped writing for many years.
She realized that this was a real farewell ceremony and a rare opportunity to share memories of that time.
Wen Yi gave the address, and Yo-Yo Ma decided to go there to say goodbye and witness Wen Yi's happiness.
She called Wang Lu, her husband who got the message, booked three air tickets, took the children with her, and went to see Wen Yi, a legendary poet who had published poems in his publishing house.
Once upon a time, we all wanted to live a poetic and distant life that we created. Later, we came into contact with this colorful world and gradually got lost. Some people get carried away, others insist silently.
Someone must be living the life you want.
The feeling you want, someone must enjoy it.
But only your present life is real, and only you know what it is.
We grew up together, but we were separated. We lost each other, but we found the past.
What about the person you promised?
Have you fulfilled your original promise to yourself?
Actually, what's so important about these?
The important thing is that we are really being ourselves.
The world in front of us is created by ourselves.
Yo-Yo Ma knew that Wen Yi was not the same person, but she no longer envied him, because she also created the world she really wanted.
Doing the job I love, I married a suitable person with love. My life is full of fireworks, but occasionally I am moved by poetic surprises. There is a sweet daughter calling her mother, and her affectionate eyebrows are running on the ground. This kind of life, she feels very good.
When I was very young, I thought the most romantic thing in the world was to go a long way to see another person and tell him that I would love you for 10 thousand years.
Later, it was found that 10,000 years was too long, and we were racing against time.
I still think it's romantic to walk a long way to see another person.
It's just that we can meet again after such a long separation, and finally we can say goodbye.
I still love you without hesitation, but the years of loving you more have not wavered.
"If there is no debt, how can we meet?"
