VOL.427 All persistence in the world is because of loving the author/Zhang Haochen

Last month, a friend talked to a big boss A high-level agent took me along for the meal. As soon as we sat down, the boss talked about our recent trip to the United States and advised us to work hard and try to visit that free country in the future. After chatting for a while and seeing that his friend hadn’t arrived yet, he filled up the tea and told us a story.

He said that each of us actually contains a universe inside our body.

AKen is a Hong Konger.

Because he had always cherished the mainland dream, after graduating from the University of Hong Kong, he rejected the offer from a Hong Kong company and went directly to Chengdu. Zhang Yimou said that Chengdu is a city that you don’t want to leave once you arrive. Under his influence, Ken has a special liking for this city.

The story begins here.

In the first two years after coming to Chengdu, Ken was completely intoxicated with his status as a tourist, relying on his family’s money to eat, drink and have fun. He is extremely fond of hot pot, and will eat it almost every two days. It must be made with butter, and it is so spicy that his mouth will be red and swollen and he will sweat profusely. The funniest thing is that he also likes playing mahjong. Mahjong in Chengdu is called a bloody battle, where four people at a table play tricks until the last person is standing. He said that this refreshing "fighting" way of playing cards is very exciting. This feeling of loving Chengdu more than anyone else in Chengdu has allowed Aken to make a group of close friends in a short period of time.

In the third year, Aken lost all the money given to him by his family. When he looked back and saw that everyone around him was busy in their respective positions, he woke up from the peach blossom garden and began to consider the problems of life. For a Hong Konger who could not speak Mandarin well, it was not easy to find a job. I hit the wall many times. Finally, because I was an art and design graduate, I was introduced by a friend to a bridal shop to design wedding dresses.

Two years have passed in a flash. The 26-year-old Ken went from being an apprentice in the store to designing wedding dresses by himself. He seemed to be moving forward without stopping, but he encountered his own bottleneck. The store was not big, so the business was not bad. Moreover, because he could not save his face, he had some orders. I have to give it to another female designer. At that time, he lied to his family that he was working for a foreign company, and his life was prosperous. But in fact, the basic salary plus commission could only cover food and clothing in a month, and he could not save money at all. He relied on two credit cards to tear down the wall. Bu Xiqiang lived a reluctant life. In order to save money, I often skipped drinking parties with friends and traveled abroad. Gradually, I had fewer friends. My favorite thing to do became staying at home after get off work, boringly surfing the Internet, and writing blogs.

It can really be called poverty.

During the Wenchuan earthquake in 2008, Aken received a big order. It was said that the rich second generation who was getting married was a loyal fan of Aken's blog and asked for a wedding dress designed by him. The first time they met and communicated, he was invited to the cafe on the top floor of Renhe Spring. He didn't dare to neglect at all and went there dressed up.

Before I had time to digest the girl’s amazing figure, there was an earthquake. At that time, the earth seemed to be wailing, the sky suddenly darkened, everyone went crazy, running around, screams and the sound of broken cups one after another. Without thinking, Ken picked up the girl and ran towards the emergency exit. The girl was so frightened that she screamed and cried, and even her high heels ran away, so he just picked her up by the waist, regardless of whether she agreed or not. The small stairwell kept shaking, and dust kept falling from the ceiling. The audience cannot relate to that kind of fear.

The two of them reached the street safely, and the place was crowded with people. The girl couldn’t stand firmly when she got off the ground, and her whole body was spread out on Ken. He was very embarrassed at the time because of her breasts. It's really too big.

Later, things turned out as God wanted. The girl escaped from the marriage and fell in love with Ken. But the woman's parents have always been worried about him. After meeting and chatting about work, they even put on colored glasses. The word "impossible" gave them the best response to this relationship.

After the earthquake, aftershocks continued, and the whole city was panicked. Ken accidentally leaked the news to his mother in a panic, and let his family know that he worked in a bridal shop, so his family firmly opposed it and persuaded him to Change career. Facing the pressure of family and love, he felt unprecedentedly hesitant.

Fortunately, the big-breasted girl was a typical Aries girl who said, "Who I like is none of your business." She sneaked into Ken's shop without telling her parents, and cheered him up every chance she got. . Over time, he was infected by the girl, so he cheered up, went to the girl's house and swore that if he still didn't change in one year, he would give up on the girl.

To be honest, this impulse was not entirely given by the girl, but because he truly felt that he could become famous in this design field, and he had never thought of leaving this city. The best help love gives him is that after he has responsibility, his behavior will not be too absurd.

AKen said that he accidentally watched an interview with Zhang Yimou. He said that when he was filming "Alive", he could discuss the script with Uncle Ge until three or four in the morning. Uncle Ge couldn't hold on and fell asleep, so he watched the staff around him and talked to whomever had his eyes open. People who have worked with Zhang Yimou say that he is extremely energetic and gets excited as soon as he enters the studio.

Excitement is definitely the most important source of motivation for doing something.

Just like a person who is used to getting up early, he is inexplicably excited when he sees the blue sky and white clouds after opening the curtains. The chef feels extremely satisfied when he sees the diners devouring his own food. The photographer meets a good model and takes pictures all at once. Only then did he realize that he was covered in mud.

With this feeling in mind, Ken spent half a year completely falling in love with painting wedding dresses. Within a few months, he was hired as a designer by a well-known independent designer team in China. The director, who flies between Beijing and Chengdu, and has the advantage of being a Hong Konger, gives mainland customers an international sense of belonging and makes a lot of money.

When I asked the girl again how to resolve their relationship, the other party said that she was going to immigrate.

Knowing that the matter was over, Aken didn’t hold back. When he said goodbye to her at Shuangliu Airport, the girl hugged his neck, bit him hard on the shoulder, and said to give up on her. Ken didn't answer, he just patted the girl on the back as if to comfort her.

Summer has just entered Chengdu, and everything has become lazy and casual, adding to the leisurely rhythm. However, in the land of abundance after the earthquake, there are few blue skies and it is foggy every day. After the girl left, Ken often went to the cafe where they met to take a nap. Thinking of the scene of him escaping with the girl on his back, he felt it was funny and inspiring.

Over the years, they communicated by mobile phone. Sometimes when they couldn't bear it anymore, Ken would fly to the United States to find her. So no matter whether the girl deliberately didn't reply to text messages before or clamored to break up again and again, she will definitely replace it with lingering love after seeing him. After going back and forth several times, the girl's parents had no choice but to turn a blind eye and acquiesce to their foreign relationship.

It wasn’t until the end of 2011 that the girl suddenly told Ken that she was engaged. This time she fell in love with him and couldn’t escape or steal him. Ken, who did not believe in evil, flew over to find out what was going on. When he left the airport, he saw the so-called fiancé waiting for him in the Bentley. He then very friendly took him to visit his pharmaceutical factory and ate the most expensive food in the area. Western food and promised to love her forever. As if he had been on a jumping plane, his mood went up and down, and Aken flew back home silently, his face ashen as death.

After the girl got married, she was unhappy because her husband smoked marijuana. She called Ken several times, but his phone number was empty, and the avatars on all chat software were black and white. I asked my friends around me, He also said that he just disappeared without a trace. Later, her husband's pharmaceutical factory was found by the police to be engaged in drug processing, which actually involved an international drug trafficking chain led by her husband. After being proven innocent, the girl was so frightened that she divorced him and moved to a small town in New Jersey with her family. Small town life.

The story comes to an end here.

The manager raised his hand to greet the friend who came. When the man in the windbreaker sat down, my friend and I were shocked. That face often appeared in the news as a gold medal film and television producer. The agent briefly introduced him. In addition to investing in film and television, he also has his own clothing brand. Even the skin care store with the highest traffic on Taobao during last year's Double Eleven also belongs to him.

My friend and I listened silently to their conversation. The man in the trench coat kept asking about talent transfer and green cards. He seemed to be preparing to immigrate. The manager joked that he could finally get over it after persisting for so long. At first we didn’t understand, but when we were leaving, he whispered to us that he was Ken.

I had insomnia that night. Thinking of the two years when Ken disappeared, I must have made the greatest persistence, just like I insisted on designing a wedding dress, insisting that I would be more capable of pursuing that girl.

The confusion and embarrassment we are experiencing now are actually due to changes that we were unwilling to face in the past or bad habits that have not been eradicated for many years. If you cannot persist in doing something, then in your 20s When you need to take responsibility for the outside world, you owe yourself an explanation.

I believe that after Ken goes to the United States, he will definitely meet a girl in New Jersey. God will give the best blessing to brave people to make up for their turbulent years of separation, which also proves that His persistence at the beginning did not make him regret at all in the rest of his life.

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

I wish that when we meet again, we will live a better life than now.
