Su Ze felt deeply that as one of the few survivors, he could not feel happy after seeing the death of those around him.
It is a blessing to be alive, but it is also a shame. Because I have seen hell on earth, I will never forget it again, and I will never be able to enjoy the so-called peace in this world.
This is the greatest misfortune that disaster brings to survivors!
"No matter how reluctant you are to give up, no matter what pressure you face, you can't forcefully keep my body."
"Don't let me become a bedridden old man who can neither live nor die!"
"That would be extremely unfilial of you!"
Li Liqun opened the show with a calm taste of vicissitudes of life, holding in his hand a suicide note written by Qiong Yao to her children.
The reason why I chose this letter is because in Baodao, most disabled elderly people will be inserted into various life-support tubes, and the so-called filial piety of their children will constrain the last moments of their lives.
The children's stay with the old man in the hospital stems from their inner attachment to their family and flesh and blood, but for the old man, it may be the most painful torture when he is dying.
Therefore, Qiong Yao doesn't want to spend the rest of her life like this.
Therefore, Qiong Yao requested that she not be put into various tubes and choose a dignified euthanasia.
Book your own beautiful death, what a literary and artistic statement.
But it takes a lot of courage to say it.
In Su Ze's view, this is the greatest honor a writer can give him for the rest of his life. It is also the calmness and courage that a woman can only have after she has experienced a thousand sailings and seen through the world.
When you are alive, may you be like a spark, burning until the last moment of your life. When you die, may you be like snowflakes, falling to the ground and turning into dust!
Not feeling pain for life, not worrying about death, this may be the greatest respect for life.
After the applause fell, Zhang Guoli came on stage for the third time. In his hand was a letter written by Wu Sangui to his father. This was the only text written in classical Chinese.
After all, he is Ji Xiaolan, a great talent.
Only now did Su Ze know what humility meant. Seeing the eloquent thousand-character classical Chinese essay being perfectly interpreted, every word seemed like flowing water, and he couldn't help but give the old artist a thumbs up.
There's yours!
Finally, it was my turn to take the stage. I took a deep breath and got into the mood. The reason why I let myself be the finale was because the author of this letter was also sitting in the audience.
A letter written by Li Zhen, a graduate student at South China Agricultural University suffering from leukemia, to his mother.
The son and mother were both present!
Li Liqun looked at Su Ze standing on the stage and couldn't help but sigh: "This is not easy."
"Well, that's just a measure of his ability." Zhang Guoli said half-truthfully, "Not many people praise him in front of me."
"It's definitely no problem!" Zhou Xun said seriously: "He can do it!"
Zhang Guoli and Li Liqun looked at each other with anticipation, wondering how capable this young man in his early twenties really was.
"I'm sorry, Mom, I'm sick, it's leukemia."
As soon as Su Ze spoke his first words, the whole place fell silent for an instant, and a wave of despair rushed over his face.
Dear Mom: Hello Xin'an!
This is the first time I write to you, and it may also be the last time. There are some things I can only say to you in this slightly stupid way.
Sorry, Mom!
I'm sick, it's leukemia.
They say that the harder you work, the happier you are. I thought that going to college or graduate school would bring you closer to happiness, but it turns out that my efforts only brought suffering and despair to this family.
The low and hoarse sound coming from Su Ze's mouth was like a big stone weighing heavily on everyone's hearts, as if they couldn't breathe.
Our family has never been well-off, and now it is even worse because of me. My four-year-old nephew asked his grandfather, why is our house so shabby?
We all know the reason but don't know how to answer it.
In the past three years, if it weren't for everyone's help and your persistence, I would have said goodbye to this world. To this day, I feel that I owe this family and you an explanation.
Su Ze's voice was full of helplessness, as if a picture was being displayed in front of him. It was simple but could directly reach people's hearts. It was unpretentious and sincere.
At the beginning of my illness, my eldest brother said he must save me. He spent all his savings without hesitation, took on a lot of debts for me, and even provided me with a bone marrow transplant. He even feared that my sister-in-law would object and file for divorce.
My second sister-in-law was so distressed that she didn't dare to hear my voice.
The seven-year-old niece cried and said that she would never eat snacks again and left the money to her uncle for medical treatment.
My brother and sister-in-law were afraid that you couldn't take care of me, so they resolutely quit their jobs and focused on taking care of me until I was discharged from the hospital.
Su Ze paused, took a deep breath, his eyes filled with tears, like a young dove crying blood:
Love is so thick that a lifetime is not enough to repay it!
The whole audience burst into tears in an instant!
"Beautiful!" Zhang Guoli's eyes flashed. With decades of stage experience, he understands the weight of this line. Even if it is placed on the entertainment stage, it is still a good show!
"This young man is not simple." Li Liqun also nodded secretly. As one of the founders of Baodao Stage Theater, he has seen countless actors, and there are probably only a handful of actors who can reach this level of dialogue at this age.
On the contrary, Zhou Xun's face was calm. He had seen Su Ze's surprise several times. Is this really a big deal?
During these three years of illness, you took care of me meticulously, and the hardships and grievances you endured for this have already exceeded the limit that ordinary people can bear.
I walk to the hospital's rental house at least six times a day but never feel tired.
I scrub and disinfect things every day, and I wish I could peel off a layer of them.
When I went to school, you stayed with me on campus, and when I was hospitalized, you waited for me to come home. Grandpa passed away, and we couldn’t go back to see each other off...
Scenes of touching scenes appeared in front of everyone along with Su Ze's narration, making them vivid and immersive!
Sobbing kept coming from the audience, and even the men had red eyes. Mother's love is so great and precious.
I know that you have exhausted all your life's efforts, but you still can't bring me back my health.
You have worked hard for half your life, only to be met with waves of despair.
You are unwilling but unable to do anything.
Su Ze's voice gradually became deeper, filled with resistance and resentment towards the injustice of fate, not because of himself, but because of the guilt and sorrow of dragging down the whole family because of himself!
You used your actions to teach me to be diligent, self-reliant, and tolerant of others. You are thin and weak, but you have shouldered a life as heavy as a mountain.
You are gentle and kind, and you are ravaged by life but never complain or lose hope. You are simple in character but as tough as a cattail...
It's you who are simple and simple yet give me the courage to overcome obstacles.
It's you like this who makes me unable to give up on myself...
Su Ze slowly walked off the stage and came to the audience. He looked at a mother with white hair firmly and said seriously: "Mom, can I make some agreement with you here?"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I just can't help it!"
"Stop talking, stop talking!"
The whole place burst into tears, and the scene was instantly chaotic. Many people were crying, as if they were remembering something sad.
Just when the cameraman was at a loss, the director suddenly said: "Don't stop!"
