Left-behind women in Fuzhou

Chapter 7 Alian's Story (1)
It was already that winter when I saw Alian again.

The winter in Fuzhou is not cold at all.The bitter cold wind howls only in the far north, and the snowflakes flying all over the sky are only in people's beautiful imagination.In the winter in my memory, there was always a round of red sun hanging above the streets and alleys of Fuzhou. The orange light shone on the people walking in the streets and alleys. They were wrapped in thin clothes and they walked leisurely and unrestrainedly. Or suits and leather shoes, or elegant cheongsams, or jackets and blouses, or swaying skirts, all of them are graceful and charming, making people admire.But in the north at this moment, the people walking on the street are wrapped in thick cotton clothes, and they look extremely bloated and dull.

Later, I traveled to many cities in the south and the north. Every winter, I huddled my whole body with my hands in my sleeves, and walked quickly in the cold wind and beside the street trees that had lost all their leaves. Happy time in Fuzhou winter.

One morning in winter in Fuzhou, I just got up, shirtless, standing on the balcony holding dumbbells, suddenly the phone rang, and it was an informant who told me that a cancer patient was admitted to Fuzhou General Hospital , his only daughter wanted to sell herself to save her father.

During my years of journalistic career, I have trained a large number of informants in this city, and they can always provide me with valuable news clues in the first time, so as to ensure that I have articles published in newspapers every day.Likewise, I hang out with them on a regular basis, at coffee houses and bars where I don't have to pay.Just put their store names in the newspapers.

After putting down the phone, I hurried to the Fuzhou General Hospital. Its full name should be the General Hospital of the Fuzhou Military Division of the Nanjing Military Region.Walking into the high floors of the inpatient department, in the silent and sad ward, I saw the girl who wanted to sell herself to save her father.She was thin and small, with pimples all over her face.As soon as she spoke, tears flowed down her face.She said her name was Oda.Her father didn't want her to make a lot of money in her life, but only hoped that her pocket money would be enough, so he gave her such a gender-neutral name.She is only 20 years old.

She said that she wanted to marry herself as soon as possible, no matter who he was, as long as he could come up with 10 yuan.Her father needed 10 yuan for the operation, but her family was poor.

I don't know how to comfort her, I can only lower my head and record what she said, not daring to look at her sad face.At the end of the interview, before going out, I stuffed the only two hundred yuan I had in her hands, and left in panic.

The next day, my manuscript appeared in the newspaper.

In the next few days, many people came to Fuzhou General Hospital every day to send donations to Xiaotian.The day before the operation, Xiaotian happily told me that the operation fee was enough. One of the women named Lin Fenglian donated 1 yuan. She came with her daughter.That daughter is very cute and sensible, Oda said.

I decided to interview Lin Fenglian.There must be a story about her.

According to the phone number that Oda provided me, I dialed it, and a slightly hoarse female voice asked, who is it?

I said that I wanted to interview, but the other party flatly refused.She said, when everyone is in trouble, when everyone needs help, please stop interviewing me.

I said, if you don't give an interview, my whole manuscript will not be finished.

She said, I have a little money, and donating it to her is considered a good deed.Maybe one day, something will happen to our family, and I will need people's help.

At that time, she was just talking casually.None of us thought that one day, she would be in the hospital and need people's help.Later, I often thought, is there really a destiny arrangement in the dark.

That day, she couldn't stand my soft and hard talk, and she finally agreed to be interviewed.The next day, I sat by the window and waited in a coffee shop I frequented on Hudong Road.Someone pushed open the door, wearing a bright red windbreaker, turned around, and an unusually beautiful face lit up the entire hall, and I was surprised to find that it was her.

She is A-Lian whom Meiniang and I met in Wuyi Square in the summer a few months ago.It turns out that Lin Fenglian is Alian.Her husband also went abroad to work.

At that time, I often thought that Alian might be the legendary beauty of the southern country.She looks very classic, very delicate.The small facial features are impeccably matched, just like the ancient ladies who have just stepped out of the pictures covered in the dust of time.However, her waist-length hair was dyed yellow again, and I often laughed at her for this failure afterwards.It is said that she is like a general wearing armor but holding a light feather fan, wearing a designer suit but drooping a pair of straw sandals.A-Lian was always at a loss for words, so she said angrily, "I like it, can you control it?"I smiled and said, look, I'm out of breath.No culture, vulgar!

Alian is a very kind and righteous woman. She follows the moral traditions that have been passed down for thousands of years in China: being upright, being kind to others, caring, gentle and polite; at the same time, she is very fashionable and avant-garde. , like outings, like extreme sports.Under her beautiful and classic appearance, there is a heart that is always beating vigorously and never satisfied.

We sat in that coffee shop and listened to the music played from the speakers in the corner. The music was soft like water, winding around us, making our hearts seem to be floating on the water.We drank the coffee quietly. The coffee without sugar had a bitter taste, but after drinking it, there was a faint fragrance from the bottom of my heart, which made people feel light and comfortable.Time is as peaceful as the heart.We looked at the advertisement for this coffee shop hanging on the wall - if I'm not at home, I'm in the coffee shop; if I'm not in the coffee shop, I'm on my way to the coffee shop.We silently recited such a wonderful advertisement, and laughed knowingly together.

Alian said that her family is in Fuqing, which is the richest place in Fuzhou's five districts and eight counties.This county-level city is full of high-rise buildings and star-rated hotels.On the spacious and flat street, luxury cars such as Mercedes-Benz and BMW are speeding.Every household in Fuqing has people working abroad, which is a tradition that has lasted for hundreds of years.A large part of Fuqing's wealth comes from the continuous remittance of dollars, yen, and pounds from abroad.

Alian said that in Fuqing, if someone has no experience of working abroad, they will be looked down upon by others.

Alian's husband has been away in Japan for three years and has never returned to China.

Alian graduated from junior high school.In Fuqing, graduating from junior high school is considered a very high degree of education.Children here drop out of school early to work in the factories of their fathers and brothers.However, this kind of family workshop factory has not formed a scale, and it is far less than the brand effect of Jinjiang and Shishi in southern Fujian.Therefore, they wait until they are a little older and plan how to go abroad.Going abroad seems to be the only way for every Fuzhou child to create wealth, especially boys.

Alian started the stone business very early.In those years, stone tables, stone benches and coffee tables are becoming the first choice for northerners to move to new homes.Alian loaded the heavy stone furniture from the stone processing factory onto a ten-wheel truck at a low price, and drove staggeringly all the way to the north. Half of the stone furniture would lose arms and legs, but despite this, she And make a lot of money.

Alian said that in those years, making money was as easy as bending down to pick up money from the ground.

It was when she was in the stone business that Alian met a handsome man who was equally successful in business, and that man later became her husband.

In the eyes of ordinary people, Alian's family is very wealthy.There is absolutely no need for her husband to go abroad to work.According to A-Lian, he was the one who insisted on going.His second master was in Japan and was captured by Japanese devils as laborers during the Anti-Japanese War.The second master built roads in Hokkaido, the poorest place in Japan. He endured all kinds of torture and suffering. Many fellow villagers were tortured to death, but he survived miraculously, married a wife and had children there.A few years ago, the second master, who was over seventy-seven years old, and his Japanese wife, who was also so thin that only a handful of bones remained, returned to Fuqing tremblingly, and was warmly received by the government. He was honored as a returned overseas Chinese and a famous entrepreneur.Government officials huddled with him, expressly and secretly hoping that he would invest in socialist construction in his hometown.The second master said that he and his wife are living on pensions in Japan now, and before he retired, he was just a cleaner in a factory, not an entrepreneur at all as they said.But the government officials didn't believe it. They said that the second master was too modest. It is the duty-bound duty of every descendant of Yan and Huang to benefit the hometown. Who is not a millionaire abroad.Second Master's wrinkled face was flushed, he didn't know whether it was from shame or embarrassment.

Then, those relatives also filed in to visit, no matter how far or close they were, they all took the second master's hand and snuggled up to the second master's side like their own children, with respectful and obsequious faces, and their mouths seemed to be smeared with honey Similarly, speaking so sweetly that the second master, who had been away from his hometown and family for a long time, was moved to tears.They talked about the family's embarrassment, and the second master's heart was moved, so the second master took out his wallet and distributed wads of Japanese yen to them.

At that time, Alian had just got married, and the second master lived in their house.Alian said that she witnessed this disgusting scene with her own eyes, and felt deeply sad for this family.

Only A-Lian's husband didn't take the initiative to get close. However, when Er Ye finished his expropriated trip to his hometown and was about to return to Japan, A-Lian's husband suddenly asked Er Ye to take him to Japan.The second master agreed.The second master said to him, among all the juniors, you are my favorite.

So, he started preparations for going to Japan, exchanging yen, applying for a visa...

Alian stopped her husband with her body and words.In bed, she acted more proactively than ever before, completely like a tried and tested courtesan.Then, she said to her husband, stay, I need you.We are different from them, we live well, we can earn money without going abroad.However, after the orgasm, my husband always said impatiently, go to sleep, I am sleepy.Then, he turned around, leaving her with a cold back.

At that time, the child was still young, and the child often woke up at night. Alian got up to feed the child, and then waited for the dawn amidst the long and short snores of her husband.She sensed that a crisis was approaching.

After many days, A-Lian figured it out. In fact, there is such a kind of man in this world. They are never satisfied, they are always looking for excitement.They are greedy, they are selfish, they pursue novelty like wild cats forever pursue fishy smell.You can't judge their value orientation with simple right or wrong.It's just that this kind of man cannot be married. If you marry him, you will live in grievance and pain forever.

Alian said that her husband is such a person.

Every household in Fuqing has people who go abroad to work, and the reason for going abroad is because they have relatives or friends abroad.Fuzhou has a history of going abroad for hundreds of years. It is said that it can be traced back to the distant and vigorous era of Zheng He's voyages.

Her husband went abroad and didn't come back for three years, making A-Lian a resentful wife who kept her vacant house alone.

I am very resentful and disgusted with the country where Alian's husband works.I thought, even if I was given an annual salary of one million, I would not go to that perverted country to sell labor.My physical and mental strength cannot be sold to Japan, and I will not sell it no matter how much money is given.Even if you sell it to anyone, you can't sell it to this perverted nation.

Japan is our feud, the feud of our Chinese nation.

I can't remember which western philosopher said that island nations have a heart as broad as the ocean, except Japan.

Not to mention the broad mind of the Japanese nation, they don't even want to repay the kindness they receive.What this dwarf-producing country likes is endless expansion and brutal aggression, what it likes is bowing its head to the strong and bullying the weak wantonly, and what it likes is forgetting its ancestors and avenging its kindness.In the prosperous Tang Dynasty, how many Tang envoys were sent to the Tang Dynasty to worship and learn arts, and the Tang Dynasty gave all their money to teach each other, so that the barbaric and ignorant Yamato nation moved from slashing and burning to the civilized era. However, hundreds of years later, the powerful Japan From the Japanese pirates spread in the southeast coast of the Ming Dynasty to the Anti-Japanese War in the Republic of China, Japan has never stopped coveting our land.This nation with unlimited ambitions put forward such a slogan very early on - if you want to conquer Asia, you must first conquer China, and if you want to conquer China, you must first conquer Manchuria.Even today, Japan has set its greedy eyes on our Diaoyu Islands and East China Sea oil fields.Send warships to cruise in my territorial waters from time to time.

I have always believed that there is still a war between China and Japan.If I can catch up in my lifetime, I will donate all my savings, join the army, die in battle, and serve my Chinese nation.

I am extremely disgusted with those so-called Hari people.Walking on the street, seeing those boys and girls dressed in Japanese style pretending to be innocent, I looked at them with contempt like a fly.I don't understand why such a bunch of ugly evil flowers will grow in just a few decades on this land that was trampled by the iron hooves of the Japanese army decades ago.Looking at them, I often have the urge to rush up and punch those smeared pale and ignorant faces fiercely.If the Sino-Japanese war breaks out again, the men must be traitors to these superficial and obscene things, and the women will also volunteer to be military prostitutes.

There was a time when we were excitedly chanting about a post like this, a post about the Japanese --

In ancient times, the people of a certain country were warlike, and almost all the young and strong men were conscripted to serve in the war. There was no time to marry and have children, so the number of people became smaller and smaller.At that time, a country leader came up with an idea, so that all men can have sex with any woman at will, no matter when and where, so as to maintain the birth rate of the population.So during the truce, women in a certain country got used to the "whenever and where" way. Later, for more convenience, they simply went out with pillows and sheets on their backs, which became the so-called "kimono" now.After many women were "whenever", the other party did not have time to tell their surnames, so they went to war again, so the children they gave birth to did not have names, and they took the place of birth as their surnames. Watanabe, Yamaguchi, Takeshita, Kondo...

After we watched it, we all pretended to be surprised and said, ah, it turns out that Little Japan is a wild species, no wonder it is so bad.

When I was in college, there was a Japanese student in our class who was always domineering and arrogant. That kid was always bragging about Japan’s wealth and racial superiority, but that kid was tall and strong, and he looked like a devil.Once, I had a debate with him, and he was talking about how magnificent the tall buildings in Japan are, and how beautiful the vehicles are, but the city is so dilapidated that it cannot be compared with Japan at all.I said that Japan is a war criminal. During World War II, it plundered the wealth accumulated by 14 Asian countries for thousands of years. Japan did not repay the war reparations that should be given to China.If Japan had not brought Asia, including China, into the abyss of war and into dire straits, and if Japan had returned the indemnity that should be given to China, then today's rich and poor should change positions.The kid stiffened his neck, very unconvinced.

We were eating in the dining hall that day, and that kid and I met again at the door.The kid was holding the hot soup and stared at me fiercely.I pretended I didn't see it, walked up to him, deliberately bumped him hard with my shoulder, and spilled a bowl of hot soup on the back of the boy's hand.The kid yelled and rushed towards me, and I smiled to meet him.I have waited a long time for this moment.I have practiced martial arts since I was a child, and my hands and feet itch when I see Japanese people, and I always want to practice.I threw the boy on the ground with a big back fall, like throwing a sack of potatoes or corn.There was applause all around.

That heavy fall threw the Japanese kid who was strong on the outside and hard on the inside into the hospital.The school gave me a major demerit for beating a foreign student.The class counselor secretly told me that I played well.Punishment is taken seriously, and it will be canceled for you after graduation.

In college, I became famous in one battle and became a national hero in the college.

Alian also hated Japan very much, but the reason for her hatred was largely because her husband went to that country.Regarding the barbaric aggression and plundering of China by the Japanese dynasties and the brutal poisonous killings committed by the Japanese army during the Anti-Japanese War, Japan did not want to pay China war reparations, and Japan did not want to admit the bloody crimes committed against China and Asia. The Diaoyu Islands forcibly explored the evil deeds of my East China Sea oilfield——A Lian, who graduated from junior high school, knew very little about it.

I told A-Lian not to buy Japanese products.China is Japan's largest trading market. Japan's economic prosperity is mainly due to the pouring of large and small commodities into the Chinese market.The important reason why China's national industry cannot be revitalized is that Chinese people do not buy products from their own country.South Korea and Japan are also feuds. During World War II, Japan also caused South Korea to suffer a heavy disaster.However, South Korea advocates "undivided body and soil", that is, the body and the ground under their feet should be integrated into one. The clothes they wear are made in Korea; the cars that run on the street are made in Korea; even the simplest and most common Daily necessities are also made in Korea.South Korea has always fought for every inch of land against Japan and refused to give up every inch of reason.The bid to host the World Championships must exceed that of Japan. In the end, FIFA had no choice but to let South Korea and Japan co-host it.The South Korean football team was so jealous when they saw the Japanese team, they desperately tried their best not to lose to Little Japan.In these respects, both the Chinese government and the people have done a poor job.
