One Moment: Li Yifeng's Best Time

Chapter 4

earliest memory
Sometimes I wonder, when did we start to have memories?What happened between birth and before we have memories?After having the memory, did those things in the memory really exist?Are the pictures in our minds pieced together according to our imagination?

The earliest memory I can go back to is about watching a football game when I was about three years old.At that time, I knew Maradona. There was a game of his in the evening. I told my mother, I will go to bed first, and you will wake me up to watch the game when the time comes!At twelve o'clock at night, my mother really called me, and I got up as soon as I got up, and watched the whole game happily.When I grew up, I talked about this with my parents, and they were surprised that such a small person like me could really do what I said and watch the game.As for me, I am very pleased with my parents for taking their agreement with such a small person seriously.

Picked up

Regarding my birth, my parents borrowed the most commonly used rhetoric from parents all over the world: I picked it up.Regarding the location, they set it at the Chengdu Dongmen Bridge.I believed it at the time.Every time I pass there, I feel weird, but I can't describe the specifics.

丑

When I was young, my parents said that I was ugly the most.It is said that when I was just born and held out for others to see, I was told, "Isn't this your child?" The implication is that I am too ugly.My parents are both very handsome, handsome and beautiful or something.There are four brothers in my father's family, and now it is definitely Chengdu F4!But I don't know why I was wrinkled and ugly when I was born, with a flat nose and single eyelids.Later, when it got a little bigger, it looked better when it grew. "It's too late, it's not necessarily good" is also true in reverse.

birthday photo
Before the age of 20, every birthday, my parents took me to the photo studio to take a picture.At the beginning, I didn't know why. I never thought about why I had to do this only on my birthday.Looking for it now, I found many, many childhood memories.My mother often finds these photos during the Chinese New Year, and then the family nests on the sofa to recall the year.They said that every year when I was taking pictures alone, my face smelled bad. One year, I stayed in front of the camera for a long time, and I couldn’t laugh no matter how funny I was. laughed.Of course, I don't remember this scene, but my mother is very happy every time she talks about it.Many parents should do this. The recent popular childhood photos on the Internet really prove that parents are also a very strange creature. They raise their children willfully.Fortunately, my parents didn't treat me like this.

Jealous
When I was a child, it was easy to get jealous. When my mother hugged other children and said they were cute, I felt extremely resentful and uncomfortable.

I usually don't cling to my mother, but as long as I am in an environment that doesn't make me feel safe, I will never leave her side.For example, go swimming, go to the water park, isn't there artificial waves, I am afraid and want to play.I couldn't swim at the time, and neither could my mother.I would hold my mother's neck all the time, and at the beginning we beat and beat in a small area next to the swimming pool.Then I just pestered my mom to take me surfing and kept pestering her.When I arrived in a new environment, I felt that the strangeness seemed to be a dangerous signal, so I would keep pestering my mother, and I felt safe with her.

My mother's education to me is, don't cause trouble when there is nothing to do, and don't be afraid of trouble when something happens.Children's fights are naughty and provoke each other.If you are a guy who is easy to provoke, it is natural to bully you, but if you are not easy to deal with, the other party will be cowardly.I remember my mother often reminded me: "Don't bully others, and don't be afraid of being bullied. If you are bullied, you have to pay back. Don't worry, we are here." So since childhood, there has been a sense of pride in having adults backing you. Do what your parents say and you will be right, and they will stand behind you to protect you.

In fact, I am also my father's follower. There is only one child in the family, and my parents love me very much.And they are very open-minded, I feel like we have been friends since childhood.

Yellow hair
Basically, I am still very obedient, I don’t cause much trouble, and my grades are not bad. I am a good boy under a typical Chinese education.The only time I was invited by the teacher to parents in junior high school was because of this natural hair.

At that time, there was just hair dyeing, but it was basically done by "little gangsters", and "good students" generally did not.So my head is a bit unusual, it looks just right now, and I saved a lot of styling costs for the natural yellow. I was strongly questioned by the teacher and ordered me to dye my hair back.I was really wronged, but I couldn't explain it, so I was called a parent.The teacher still believed what the parents said, but the teacher asked a question that still puzzles me: Your parents' hair is so black and beautiful, who do you look like?

simple family

My family is a very simple and typical Chengdu family.Grandpa passed away a long time ago. I have never seen him. The elder with the best relationship is grandma.Grandpa is from Nanchang, and grandma is from Chengdu.Grandpa became a door-to-door son-in-law after arriving in Chengdu, and then settled down in Chengdu.There are many brothers and sisters of my parents' generation.Dad is the third child with two older brothers and one younger sister.Mother is the youngest daughter in the family, with one brother and two sisters.This resulted in me being the youngest of my generation in two big families with six older brothers.

want to grow up

When I was young, I wanted to grow up quickly, because my family is full of older brothers and boys, and I always feel that everything my older brothers do is very attractive to me.And I think they can do these things because they're older than me, they're adults.I want to catch up with them.

Brothers do many things without me, which makes me feel that the world of adults is very mysterious.When they started learning English, I thought it was very fun, so I also wanted to go to school as soon as possible to learn English; when they could ride bicycles to school, I also thought it would be great to grow up, and they could ride bicycles to school by themselves; When I go out to play, I feel envious of them. I just want to grow up quickly and be able to do many things.

My brother at my aunt's house is the best friend. I spend winter and summer vacations at my aunt's house every year, playing with my brother.I remember that my brother had a pair of red sneakers. Every time I went to their house, I would clamor to wear them.I’m at my brother’s house during the holidays, I have to watch them when I eat, and I want to hug them when I sleep. The happiest moment is wearing these shoes and jumping and jumping.My wish for a long time is to have this pair of red sneakers, and my brother naturally refused to give it to me.Every time I leave their house, because of this pair of red sneakers, I will get emotional, and it will be like saying goodbye to life and death.But then the whereabouts of these shoes, I do not know.

At that time, there were already many game consoles, such as Palm, Nintendo, Xiaobawang, the kind of game consoles with plug-in cards, and flying chess.Summer vacation is a long martial arts competition. Boys of similar age mix together and compete with game consoles. When it gets dark, it’s time to go home. Just remember the battle situation and fight again the next day!
The game hall was a thing in elementary school, and PS came out in junior high school, and sometimes I would make an appointment with my classmates to play when school was over early.That kind of PS game hall is a TV connected to a PS game console, and there should be such a thing now.Favorite football.

scared thing

Now I can think of the last two things I was afraid of when I was a child, one was getting lost, and the other was drowning.

One day when I was still in kindergarten, my family had a big dinner.During the meal, I heard my brothers discussing in a low voice, where to go together later, and they secretly glanced at me while discussing.I knew they were going to play, and they didn't want to take me with them.I've been spying on them too, pricking up my ears and turning on my little radar tracker.After the meal, the big guy stood at the door to say goodbye. The adults were still talking, and the group of people gave each other a wink and ran away.I immediately let go of the hand holding the corner of my father's clothes and ran after him.They ran and I ran too, chasing and shouting all the way, wait for me!Wait for me!They ignored me and disappeared in a flash.I continued to chase in their direction, step by step.Until I couldn't run anymore and stopped, I realized that I had run to a place I didn't know at all.I stood by the side of the road, looking at the cars and people coming and going, I didn't know how to get home, so I cried.Some people gathered around one after another, pointing and asking whose child this is.I looked up at them. They were all faces I didn’t know. They formed a circle and started to turn around. Their eyes and noses disappeared, only their mouths opened wide, as if they wanted to swallow me. I was terrified, what? Can't speak, just cry.

I don't know how long it has been, I just remember that I kept crying and crying.Suddenly a hand reached out and hugged me.

I opened my eyes and saw that it was my dad.Dad hugged me tightly and said, "Okay, stop crying."

When my dad talked about this, he said with emotion that he watched us run away from the hotel entrance. At first he thought it would be fine for me to be with my brothers. After thinking about it, I was still worried and chased after us. Not to us.I wanted to look for it in the direction my brothers ran, but I went to the opposite street by accident, and I found me who had already run several stops.

I almost lost it like this!Luckily my dad got me back.It's really scary to think about it now.

The other thing happened when I went swimming in the summer and I almost killed myself too.One day I went swimming with my dad and my brother, and I walked behind them to the pool.Suddenly, my dad's voice floated above my head: "Do you dare to jump down?"

I said: "I dare!" Then I jumped down.

It was a deep water area, and I regretted jumping as a small person who was not very good at swimming, because I couldn't get to the bottom at all, and I couldn't float up.Just when I was struggling and feeling like I was about to die, another pair of big hands pulled me up. At the critical moment, my almighty father saved me.

My dad later said helplessly that he was telling my brother whether he would dare to jump, but I, the kid who was following them, jumped down silently while they were talking without hesitation.

Thinking about these two things now, I will feel very scared.Life may be completely different in one second.

I may not be me anymore, live a completely different life, never see my loved ones again.It is also possible that life completely ends at a point that has not yet begun.

Every one of us who grew up safely must thank our parents.

primary school
I have been looking forward to the first day of elementary school for a long time. It belongs to the kind of inexplicable excitement and anticipation that I can't understand now and will never come again.Generally, children don't like going to school very much, especially when they are very young, going to a kindergarten or starting a school is like killing them.But I quite like going to school. The probability of this should be as small as that of children who are not afraid of injections.

I remember that I carried a beautiful new schoolbag on my back and went to elementary school happily.

Because I went early, there was no one in the classroom, so I sat in the first row by myself, and continued to be inexplicably happy, and I didn't understand why I was happy.Suddenly I saw the girl I liked in the kindergarten also entered our classroom, and I said silently in my heart, "Sit behind me, sit behind me".

She actually sat behind me!But why didn't I think about being at the same table with her?There was obviously no one sitting next to him.

The biggest difference between elementary school and kindergarten is that there are homework.Doing homework and exams was exciting to me at first.My parents told me that you have to take the double-percentage test, and I said that you will take the test, how difficult it is.After the first major exam, I got 100 points in Chinese and 99.5 in mathematics, which are the highest scores in my life.It's a pity that I almost got full marks.But I was very happy at the time.

The happiest thing when I was in elementary school was joining the Young Pioneers.Just like the red and special theme movies and TV shows you see, I, a newly promoted young pioneer, wearing a red scarf, ran all the way home happily, excitedly, with tears in my eyes, and shouted in my mouth: " Grandma, grandma, I’m in the Young Pioneers! I’m in the Young Pioneers!” I don’t know why I acted like this, but I just did it, as if my brain hesitated a little, but my body walked ahead, driving me to run and shout Then, to announce to the world that I have become a glorious Young Pioneers.

When I was in elementary school, I was there to raise the national flag, a job that only good children with good character and learning can do, and I was also guarding the school gate.There was a real enthusiasm for this type of work back then.

The primary school is Sansheng Street Primary School, where my two older brothers study, and so do I.But when I entered elementary school, I didn't enjoy the feeling of being surrounded by my brothers at all, because they were much older than me and graduated earlier.

It may be because I have been the youngest child in my family since I was a child, so I am not particularly good at taking care of people younger than me.I don't know what's going on now, maybe it's not much better - everyone is an adult, so there is no such thing as who takes care of whom.Looking back on my childhood, my family had many older brothers, and when I was in a different environment, I especially liked to play with my older sister.Of course, I am also very popular with my sisters, including the female teacher.From the beginning of kindergarten, the teachers would always cover me and love me very much. They gave me the top tasks, which were actually handing out chopsticks and bowls to the children.When I was graduating from kindergarten, the teacher Pan who took me at that time wrote "I hope you will become a diplomat when you grow up" in my graduation commemorative book. She also wrote that she liked me very much because I was very smart.It was a blue and black and white notebook.It is still kept in our home.I was not very literate at the time, so my dad read it to me.I was very happy to hear the teacher say that, but I still don’t understand why he wants me to become a diplomat. Where did the teacher see that I have this potential?

Speaking of being taken care of by teachers, in fact, being taken care of by instructors during university military training is truly amazing!The instructor gave me a very big benefit, and asked me to go to the cafeteria to get food for the instructor. Note that it is not for the students, but for the instructor level.Wow, it's all meat, of course my share is indispensable.

Thinking about growing up, I have actually been taken care of in various ways.When I was young, the love and care of my parents and family, the tolerance and support of teachers and classmates after school, and the love and enthusiasm of many people who may only pass by once in society.

Sometimes I also wonder whether I have such a blessing that makes me worthy of everyone's love.

Sometimes there is fear and anxiety.Sometimes I am really afraid of living up to such a beautiful commitment.I also feel like I have been hiding under a big tree. No matter how strong the wind is, how heavy the rain is, whether it is sunny or snowy, there are greenery hanging above my head to take care of me.Every time I was "covered" well, my heart was really full of warmth.I have also been silently hoping that I can also become a person who can "cover" others.
