VOL.427 All persistence in the world is due to the love for the author/Zhang Haochen.

Last month, my friend had dinner with a big shot agent and then came to pick me up. As soon as he sat down, the eldest brother talked about his experience of traveling to the United States some time ago and advised us to work hard and try to visit that free country in the future. After chatting for a while, he saw that his friend had not arrived yet, so he filled him with tea and told us a story.

He said that there is actually a universe in each of us.

A Ken is from Hong Kong.

After graduating from the University of Hong Kong, he turned down an offer from a Hong Kong company and went directly to Chengdu because he had always dreamed of the mainland. Zhang Yimou said, Chengdu is a city that you don't want to leave when you come. Influenced by him, A Ken has a special liking for this city.

The beginning of the story happened here.

During his first two years in Chengdu, A Ken completely indulged in his identity as a tourist, eating, drinking and having fun with his family's money. He likes to eat hot pot very much, almost once every two days. It must be the bottom of the butter pot, too. It's so spicy that his mouth is red and swollen and he is sweating all over. The funniest thing is that he also likes playing mahjong. Mahjong is called a bloody battle in Chengdu, and four people at a table are Hu until the last person. He said that this carefree "killing" way of playing cards was exciting. This feeling of loving Chengdu more than Chengdu people made A Ken make a group of intimate friends in a short time.

In the third year, A Ken lost all the money his family gave him. Looking back, everyone around him was busy in their respective posts, and he woke up from the Peach Blossom Garden and began to think about life. It is not easy for a Hong Kong person who still speaks nonstandard Mandarin to find a job. He hit a wall many times. Finally, because I am a graduate majoring in art design, I was introduced by a friend to a wedding dress shop to design a wedding dress.

Two years passed. A Ken, 26, went from an apprentice who just entered the store to designing her own wedding dress. It seems that she has been walking, but she has encountered her own bottleneck. The store is not big, and her business is not bad. And because I can't let go of my face, I have to give another female designer an order. At that time, he lied to his family that he was working in a foreign company and his life was booming, but in fact, the basic salary plus commission can only solve the problem of food and clothing after one month, and he can't save any money at all. He scraped along by robbing Peter to pay Paul with two credit cards in his hand. In order to save money, I often escape from my circle of friends and travel abroad. My favorite thing is to stay at home after work and blog online.

Really down and out.

During the Wenchuan earthquake in 2008, A Ken received a big order that the rich second generation who was getting married was a big fan of A Ken's blog and asked him to design a wedding dress by name. Meeting for the first time, he was invited to the coffee shop on the top floor of renhe spring. He didn't dare to neglect at all, so he dressed up.

Before I could digest the girl's exploded figure, the earthquake struck. At that time, the earth was crying, and the sky darkened instantly. Everyone is crazy, running around screaming and breaking glasses. Without thinking, A Ken pulled up the girl and ran to the emergency passage. The girl cried and screamed, and all her high heels ran away. He picked her up in the middle regardless of whether people agreed or not. The stairs kept swinging and the ceiling kept falling. That kind of fear, the spectator can't feel it.

Two people got into the street safely, and they were all crowded with people. The girl got off the ground and stood unsteadily, and the whole person was spread out on the A Ken. He was embarrassed because her breasts were really too big.

Later, things went very smoothly, and the girl fled the marriage and fell in love with A Ken. However, the woman's parents have been very worried about him. They put on colored glasses after meeting and talking about work. The word "impossible" gave them the best response to this relationship.

After the earthquake, aftershocks continued, and the whole city was in a panic. A Ken accidentally leaked the news to his mother and told his family that he worked in a wedding dress shop, so his family firmly opposed it and advised him to change careers. Facing the pressure of family and love, he felt unprecedented hesitation.

Fortunately, girls with big breasts are typical Aries girls, which is none of your business. She sneaked into A Ken's shop without telling her parents, and cheered him up every chance she got. Over time, he was infected by a girl, so he rallied and went to the girl's house and vowed to give him a year. If it doesn't change, he will give up the girl.

To tell the truth, this impulse is not entirely given by girls, but he really thinks that designing this piece can get ahead, and he never wants to leave the city again. And love gave him the best help, that is, after having the responsibility, his behavior would not be too absurd.

A Ken said that he once overheard an interview with Zhang Yimou. He said that when he was filming "Alive", he could chat with Uncle Ge about the script until three or four in the morning. Uncle Ge couldn't hold back and fell asleep. He just looked at the staff around him and told who his eyes were still open. People who have worked with Zhang Yimou say that he was very energetic and excited as soon as he entered the set.

Excitement is definitely the most primitive motivation to do something.

Just like a person who is used to getting up early, he is inexplicably excited to see the blue sky and white clouds after opening the curtains. The chef was very satisfied when he saw the diners wolfing down their own dishes. When a photographer meets a good model, he can only find himself covered in mud after shooting.

With this in mind, A Ken spent half a year completely falling in love with painting wedding dresses. Within a few months, she was hired as the design director by a team of well-known independent designers in China, flying between Beijing and Chengdu, and taking advantage of her being a Hong Kong resident, she made mainland customers feel a sense of international belonging and made a lot of money.

When I asked the girl how to solve their relationship, she was told that she was going to emigrate.

Knowing that it was no use crying over spilt milk, A Ken didn't stay. When saying goodbye to her at Shuangliu Airport, the girl put her arm around his neck, bit him hard on the shoulder and said to give up her. A Ken didn't answer, just patted the girl on the back, like comfort.

Chengdu has just entered the summer, and everything has become lazy and casual, adding a bit of comfort to the leisurely rhythm. This is just a land of abundance after the earthquake, with few blue sky and foggy every day. After the girls left, A Ken often took a nap in the cafe where they met, recalling the picture of him running away with the girls on his back, which made him feel ridiculous and inspirational.

In recent years, I have been in contact with my mobile phone, and sometimes I can't help it. A Ken will fly to America to find her. Therefore, no matter whether the girl didn't reply to the text messages on purpose before, or clamored to break up again and again, after seeing him, it would be changed to lingering. After going back and forth several times, the girl's parents had to turn a blind eye and acquiesce in their foreign love.

Until the end of 1 1, the girl suddenly told A Ken that she was engaged. This time, she fell in love with each other and could not escape. A Ken flew over to see what had happened. As a result, when he left the airport, he saw his so-called fiance waiting for him in Bentley. Then he took him to visit his pharmaceutical factory in a friendly way, ate the most expensive western food in the area, and promised to love her for life. Like sitting in a jumper, the mood went up and down, and A Ken quietly flew back to China with a white and bloodless complexion.

After the girl got married, because her husband smoked marijuana, she tried to find A Ken several times, but the other person's cell phone didn't exist. All pictures of chat software are black and white. I asked my friends around me, and they also said that he seemed to have disappeared. Later, her husband's pharmaceutical factory was found by the police to do drug processing, and the international drug trafficking chain led by her husband was involved behind it. After the girl was proved innocent, she was afraid of divorcing him and moved to a small town in New Jersey with her family.

The story ends here for the time being.

The agent raised his hand to greet his friend who came forward. When the man in the trench coat sat down, my friends and I were surprised. As a gold medal film producer, that face often appears in the news. The agent gave him a brief introduction. Besides investing in film and television, he also has his own clothing brand. Even the skincare store with the highest traffic in Taobao last year was his.

My friends and I listened to their conversation quietly. The windbreaker man has been asking questions about talent transfer and green card. He seems to be preparing for immigration. The agent joked that he persisted for so long and finally passed. At first, we didn't understand. Later, when we left, he whispered beside us that he was A Ken.

I couldn't sleep that night. When I think of the two years when A Ken disappeared, I must have made the greatest insistence, just like I insisted on designing a wedding dress, insisting on making myself more capable of saving the girl.

The puzzles and dilemmas we are experiencing now are actually due to changes that we didn't want to face in the past, or bad habits that have not been cured for many years. If you can't persist in doing a good job, you will owe yourself an explanation when you need to bear a responsibility to the outside world in your twenties.

I believe A Ken will meet girls in New Jersey when he goes to the United States. God will give the best wishes to brave people to make up for the turbulent years of their separation, and also prove that his original persistence did not make him regret for a lifetime.

Don't give yourself too many reasons to give up, because people who are better than you are still insisting. And all persistence in this world is because of love.

I hope we can meet again and have a better life than now.
