rebirth of change

The area of ​​the ward was about fifty square meters. After a group of people came in, they quickly and consciously formed a semicircle, surrounding the old man's hospital bed in the middle.

All of them looked serious and tense, but they couldn't hide the sorrow and sadness that arose spontaneously.The old man leaned on the pillow, his cloudy eyes were half-closed, and the wrinkles on his forehead were clearly visible like ravines. The oxygen mask just now had become two crystal-clear and tiny oxygen tubes. In his nostrils, his lips trembled uncontrollably, trying to make a sound, but he seemed a little powerless.

The old lady stood to the right and held the old man's left hand.It seemed that this grasp could transmit infinite energy, the old man's expression shook for a moment, his cloudy eyes suddenly became bright and flickering, and after the corners of his mouth twitched twice, he finally let out a deep voice.

"Everyone, don't be sad, this is the law of nature... No one can escape. In this life, although I have some regrets, but I have not done anything guilty. I hope everyone can take it calmly." Originally thought that the old man He would say something very important, but he didn't know that at such a critical moment, he would care about everyone's emotions first when he spoke.

"Chief, don't worry, we will do our best to cure you," Wei Zhonghua leaned down and said softly.

Although there were quite a few people in the room, it was very quiet. Others did not dare to make noise at will, so as not to delay the important words of the old man.Everyone knew that what Wei Zhonghua said was reassuring words, but at this moment, everyone believed as much as possible that what he said would become true. It seemed that only such reassuring words could make everyone feel better.

"I know the situation with my own body." After the old man gasped and said this sentence slowly, his body began to cough violently. Director Hong and another doctor, who stayed close to each other, quickly stretched out their hands to let the old man breathe, and waited for the breath to be relieved. Some, he went on to say with difficulty, "I'm not good enough. As a communist, I shouldn't believe in gods...but... I still hope to be able to share with those comrades in the early years. Let’s get together. As for my affairs after my death... I have left a will before, so let’s do it according to that, don’t waste it, don’t waste it.”

The old man didn't speak much, but Chen Kangjie who was standing by was still shocked. His few concise words fully reflected his broad mind and open-minded outlook on life.From his memory-like eyes, Chen Kangjie could not see the sadness of parting and the pain of about to let go, but only a trace of melancholy and nostalgia for some people.

The old lady suppressed the desperate grief and nodded, while Wei Zhonghua and the others could only treat it indifferently. As far as they were concerned, they couldn't object to the old man's words, and of course they couldn't clearly admit that the default was the best choice.

"We have been together for decades, and you have suffered a lot. In the future...you have to take good care of yourself and live every day in the future." The old man weakly shook the hand held by the old lady. hand, tilted his head to look at her, and said affectionately.

For modern young people, they like to say "I love you" often. It seems that only in this way can they let the other party understand their feelings.As for the previous generation, they may not have said that kind of confession in their entire life, but they can often always express more real emotions than the three words "I love you". , whose delicacy and sincerity often make the unmistakable expression of "I love you" pale.

The old lady, who had always maintained a strong face, could no longer hold herself back at this moment, and softly uttered a happy and desolate choked sound from the tears overflowing from the corners of her eyes. I wiped my vicissitudes and wrinkled face, full of nostalgia and reluctance.

In order to prevent the old man from being too sad and damaging his body, the old man's sons and daughters hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him.The old man also knew not to be too excited at this time, especially if it would affect the mood and body of the old man on the hospital bed. After crying for a while, he wiped his eyes and raised his head again.

After the old man told his children about some housework, he looked at Wei Zhonghua head-on. What he couldn't let go of the old man was not the trivial matters at home. In his position and state of mind, the future of the country and the nation is what worries him the most. The part that cannot be let go.

"Comrade China, the wisdom and ability of the leadership of your generation have been verified and are trustworthy... I hope that you can continue to follow the current path and develop... can't be stopped. Reform and opening up can only It can deepen....", the old man's eyes were solemn, although it was difficult to speak, he still spoke firmly.

"Chief, don't worry, we will live up to your expectations. We will maintain the overall situation of stability and development, and resolutely go in the direction you specified," Wei Zhonghua said respectfully, bowing his body.

For Wei Zhonghua, the old man is not only a leader, Wei Zhonghua also regards him as his teacher.He was able to become No. [-], which was completely recommended by the old man's insight. Because of this, he respected the old man very much. In addition, the old man did a lot of things to protect him from being in power, which made the relationship between the two very close. is special.

The old man looked straight at Wei Zhonghua's piercing eyes and moved away, and fell on Zhao Zhibang and other giants, and gasped encouragingly, "You guys must unite around Comrade Zhonghua and do things with all your heart. At present... ...is a great opportunity for our development, don't miss it, so that we can be worthy of our ancestors and worthy of our descendants."

Zhao Zhibang and the others looked like they had suddenly turned into primary school students, and they all nodded in earnest agreement, expressing that they would keep their instructions in mind and dare not forget them all the time.

The old man's eyes drifted away, scanning the faces of the crowd, as if he was looking for someone.After two laps, Chen Kangjie was found in the gap between the two of them. A rare smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He stretched out the quilt with his right hand, and beckoned at him with great reluctance.

Chen Kangjie pushed aside the crowd, squatted down in front of the old man's hospital bed recklessly, and tightly held his skinny hand that was only wrapped in a layer of skin.With his head held high, he stared sadly at the old man he respected the most.

"Little guy, you've grown taller again." The old man smiled kindly and warmly, and said in a soft voice that couldn't hide his love.

For a moment, Chen Kangjie didn't know what to say, he just nodded obediently with a warm heart.

"The world will be yours in the future. I still remember the story you told us to motivate us. In the past few years, you have made great contributions to our education, especially in remote areas. It's amazing." Suddenly, the old man spoke a lot more smoothly, and his expression became calm.

"That's what I should do. When you get better, I'll accompany you to look around." Chen Kangjie said, choking with emotion, his bright eyes filled with tears.

He already knew that the old man would not have the opportunity to inspect everywhere, but he still couldn't help but give such a white lie.Thinking that he didn't have time to spend time with him recently, Chen Kangjie felt ashamed and uncomfortable.

"Hehe, okay", the old man smiled lovingly again, this is the most smiles people have seen on his face recently.

Looking at the old man's smile, Chen Kangjie blamed himself even more.

As if seeing Chen Kangjie's heart from his face, the old man's expression became more calm, and he said softly: "I know you are usually very busy, you are the most talented person among the younger generation, and the person who understands me best, Those who achieve great things don't stick to small details."

"I...thank you", Chen Kangjie bit his lip and said with extreme discomfort and remorse.

If there is another chance, Chen Kangjie is willing to stay in the capital for a month or even two months, not for anything else, just to talk to the old man every day, just to prevent him from being so remorseful.Those so-called big things in the eyes of others are actually so insignificant compared with them.Some things, if you don't do it before, you still have a chance, and some things, once you miss it, you will never come back.

"Mmm, um", the old man nodded his head twice in satisfaction, and then turned his gaze to Wei Zhonghua and the others, "I hope you can seriously consider the matter I discussed with you before... That can be said to be my One last... request to you. In my life I have boasted that I still have some knowledge of people, but I can no longer say that I am asking you, it is only a request."

The old man's words stunned everyone except the few giants. What was the matter discussed that made the old man say the word "request".Although they were very curious, everyone understood in a blink of an eye that the things that could be discussed with a few giants were certainly not trivial matters. The national affairs at this level were definitely the top secrets of the country, and how could outsiders easily pry into them.

Before they answered, they almost all stared at Chen Kangjie who was squatting complicatedly.Chen Kangjie turned his back to them, so he couldn't feel the various emotions they showed, including curiosity, awe, certainty, awe and calm.

"Chief, we have already drawn up a plan, and we all expressed that we will unswervingly support your suggestion and work hard to make a good connection." Wei Zhonghua nodded his head and said resolutely.

Others also expressed their agreement, among which Zhao Zhibang and the heads of No. [-] and No. [-] were the most resolute.

The old man is very confident and satisfied with their performance, and everyone can clearly feel that the old man is deeply relieved.

It's just that as soon as he breathed a sigh of relief, the situation immediately became very bad. Chen Kangjie felt the most profoundly. The old man's hand could feel a little strength and temperature just now, but it suddenly became stiff and cold.

After the old man let out a breath, his eyes closed slightly, his lips turned white, but they still didn't close together, as if the smile just now was still hanging on the corners of his mouth.

Amid the beeping of the surveillance equipment, several doctors rushed forward as if they were facing a formidable enemy, while Chen Kangjie and others were rudely kicked out.

Five minutes later, Director Hong opened the door of the ward with blank eyes, shaking his head in pain and silence.

Amidst the loud weeping and howling, a great man of a generation passed away.
