One morning in the future, the sun will rise as usual.
Those who should drive to work go to work, those who should go to school go to school, and those who should take the bus take the bus, nothing has changed.
From the beginning, people prayed and blessed Jiang Zhe all the time in the subway, bus, and company.
The surviving Chosen Ones across the country, and even around the world, have made people develop a habit.
The first thing I did when I woke up was look up at the sky. After I found that the screen was still black, I let go of my obsession.
However, this habit of looking up at the sky from time to time was gradually abandoned after nearly five years.
Because every time I looked up at the sky, the screen in the sky remained unchanged, so I simply gave up.
People gradually accepted the fact that there was a "black curtain" in the sky.
...
Xia Kingdom.
February 9, 2024, the evening of New Year’s Eve.
People all over the country are celebrating, with brilliant fireworks lighting up in the night sky.
This can be said to be the first New Year since the national rule panic.
Perhaps it was the first year, but most people still remembered what Jiang Zhe had done in the previous few months.
Before the New Year's Eve dinner, the news on TV was news from all over the country. Jiang Zhe's reports had been bombarded in turn in the past few months. In fact, ordinary people were almost tired of it.
Therefore, on this day, they are just a symbolic reminder.
[As the new year comes, let us remember Mr. Jiang Zhe’s contribution. I hope everyone will never forget him. Happy New Year to everyone! 】
Parents took their children into the courtyard and looked up at the darkness amidst the fireworks.
"Child, when you grow up, never forget Uncle Jiang, you know?" A parent named Zhou solemnly said to his child: "Without his dedication, the next 29 years will be very difficult. Don’t forget him. If it weren’t for him, my parents would have passed away due to a car accident last year. I promise my parents that they must remember Mr. Jiang and remember him for the rest of their lives!”
The 2-year-old child nodded confusedly, "I remember it!"
Perhaps it was a special reason, because his parents' expressions were so serious that he was frightened.
As a result, the child named Zhou will never forget his parents in his life.
...
2029, New Year’s Eve.
After five years, people have become accustomed to the missing "shady curtain" in the sky.
Related TV stations will no longer broadcast news about Jiang Zhe.
Just mention it on October 24th every year.
However, except for the first year, people who celebrate "Mr. Jiang's Day" will take a rest on this day due to the novelty, go back to their homes with relatives and friends to play cards, eat, and drink, just like a small holiday. Something happened.
During the period 2025~2029.
Most people have given up the habit of looking up.
They no longer make a habit of looking at the black screen in the sky every day.
Only 20% of the people are persisting, and most of those persisting are the elderly.
...
2039.
Another 10 years have passed.
More and more children are becoming adults and forgetting the things they did as children.
And people have become accustomed to ordinary and stable lives, and gradually forget Jiang Zhe.
Because "Mr. Jiang's Day" is not as important as the founding day of the People's Republic of China, it gradually declined and no one celebrated it again.
Due to the rapid growth of national power, people are so overwhelmed by work that they have no time to care about anyone.
They go to work and get off work every day so exhausted that they have no time to care about others.
...
Arrive in 2049.
Another new decade has passed.
Young people who were young in 2023.
In 2049, he has entered middle age.
They once had the ambition to contribute to the country, but due to social development, it has brought convenience but also endless pressure.
The original 9 a.m. to 9 a.m. has now become 7 a.m. to 12 a.m.
Children born after 2023 will be over 26 years old in 2049.
Only when they were in childhood and were curious about what the "black curtain" in the sky was, their parents would give them a reminder.
After all, they have never personally experienced the days when Jiang Zhe existed.
lead to...
Jiang Zhe, these two words have been forgotten by more people!
In a certain campus class on October 24, 2049.
When a middle-aged teacher walked into the class to talk to his student Mr. Ke Pujiang.
No one in the audience knew!
This happens all over the country.
Jiang Zhe was completely forgotten by most people because he ignored the matter because it had nothing to do with him!
Only on October 24th every year, a few posts will appear on the Internet, the day when someone helps Mr. Kepujiang, but the click rate is not high, and only middle-aged and old people will say a few nice words.
With the GDP growth brought about by the once rapid development, Xia Guo has already become a developed country and is advancing hand in hand with Beautiful International.
The old 996 working style has gradually been replaced by VR working at home.
In this way, more people will have more time to enrich their spiritual lives.
Today’s young people are pursuing culture and entertainment!
Today is the most developed time period for entertainment.
The child named Zhou who was once mentioned by his parents has grown into a 28-year-old superstar.
Everyone knows about the country’s population of 1.8 billion in 2053.
One day in October, he started a new concert tour.
This stop is Kyoto, and a million people are here.
The superstar surnamed Zhou received a call from his sister before he was about to go on stage.
My sister warned sternly: "On the 24th, on the 24th, my parents who passed away told me that you will speak for Mr. Jiang in 2024. Apart from the older generation, how many people in the country still remember him? On the 24th of this month, Remember the 24th of this month, be sure to remember it!”
I heard my sister's stern instructions.
He solemnly agreed: "I know that without Mr. Jiang, our parents would never have had time to accompany us for more than 20 years and raise us."
Then he took the stage and sang all the hits in 4 hours.
There was a lot of people down there, and there was an endless stream of people.
Just before the show was about to end, he solemnly asked the audience: "Are you happy tonight?"
Nearly a million people below shouted in unison: "Happy!"
"very good!"
"But I'm afraid you will never be happy again!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was stunned. They obviously didn't know what King Zhou Tian was talking about.
"Because October 24 is when Mr. Jiang will lift the lockdown."
"You are now looking up at the missing 'black screen' in the sky."
"Thirty years ago, Mr. Jiang used his 30 years to buy us 30 years of peace."
"But what have our leaders and our people done in the past 30 years?"
"They only care about GDP, GDP, GDP. The old leaders of the past may remember Mr. Jiang, but due to the rotation of the sun and the moon, and the changes of the times, how many people who can speak at the top still know Mr. Jiang?"
"Yes, the new generation has gradually forgotten Mr. Jiang completely. They have forgotten Mr. Jiang who once saved us from fire and water."
"I won't hide it from everyone. I watched Mr. Jiang when I was 2 years old. If my parents hadn't reminded me every month, I would have forgotten it like everyone else."
"Until two years ago, my parents passed away due to illness. Before they passed away, they kept telling me, 'Mr. Jiang, Mr. Jiang'"
"Without Mr. Jiang, my parents would not have been with me for more than 20 years. Without my parents, I would not have become the person that the Chinese people know today."
"In order to fulfill my parents' wishes, I struggled all the way and grew from an unknown singer to a superstar. This is because I know that the rapid development of the times will make many people forget the panic and fear we faced, and the one who Mr. Jiang, who is helping those who are in distress!”
Having said this, the King of Heaven took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I don't want to say much more. Today is October 1st, and there are still 24 days of safety period. For Mr. Jiang, please live this last moment well." 24 days, because after 24 days, you will live in fear forever..."
"If there is a time limit for being frightened, then I hope it is - for the rest of my life!"
"Because only in a world of panic will you remember Mr. Jiang who once served us!"
"He spent 30 years in exchange for peace across the country. During these 30 years, he endured inhuman torture of coldness, darkness, silence, and fear every day."
"No, no figure in history has ever endured such a painful torture, no, really no one!"
"If there is a god in the world, it must not be the illusory Nuwa. If there is a god, it must be a god born from us humans. You can see that god when you look up!"
"Okay, having said that, I want to announce something - today, I officially retire from the entertainment industry!"
After saying the last few words, the king turned around and left resolutely.
He has always remembered Jiang Zhe. If it weren't for Jiang Zhe, his parents would have died more than 20 years ago. There was a car accident that left his parents critically ill. It wasn't until the prescribed rewards were issued that his parents could afford to die. .
After seeing the king suddenly quit the entertainment industry...
All the audience in the venue were stunned.
"what happened?"
"Damn it, what's going on?"
"Search and you will find out."
"Yes, the behavior of modern young people has chilled Mr. Jiang in the darkness."
So they immediately took out their mobile phones to check what happened on October 24, 2023.
Until...that illusory hypercube appeared in an old video.
Everyone was dumbfounded!
"Damn it, so there was such a terrifying thing in our country before?"
"So there are always hypercubes in the dark sky. I thought it was some technology company that did it!"
"Damn it, this is Mr. Jiang that the King is talking about. He was indeed brilliant at one time, but later he declined."
"It has never declined, but we have forgotten it, the official popularization was not timely, or times have changed."
"No, we still have 24 days. Once the 24th comes, time will freeze and the lockdown will be lifted. By then, the world will be in panic again!"
"The King of Heaven is right. We don't deserve to enjoy peace, so much so that we have forgotten Mr. Jiang who once dedicated himself to the Xia Kingdom."
Gradually, the people realized it and began to wake up one by one to welcome Mr. Jiang's return.
There are also some people who are meditating on their past.
Their generation does not deserve peace!
Because peace always requires blood.
After a long period of peace, those great people in the past were gradually forgotten.
If the King of Heaven hadn't reminded him like this, how many people would know Mr. Jiang well?
During these 24 days, officials learned that after the King of Heaven retired from the entertainment industry, the new generation of leaders also realized that something was wrong.
To stabilize this peace, stop panicking.
The new generation of leaders have begun to educate the public about Mr. Jiang.
The king who retired from the entertainment industry felt a little uncomfortable after seeing the overwhelming news on the Internet, "If it hadn't been for the chain reaction caused by my withdrawal from the entertainment industry, would you people really still remember Mr. Jiang? In fact, you don't deserve peace. You only deserve to live in panic and fear!"
Heroes emerge from troubled times. Only now did he truly understand this sentence, and he also understood his former parents!
Until the 24th of 2053...
The only remaining "black curtain" in the global sky has finally been collectively illuminated, and fear has come again!
