The more I watch the news, the more annoyed I become, and the more I think about my parents, the more anxious I become. The exam time is getting closer and closer, and I will definitely not go back. I keep calling my friends and saying that my old sesame seeds and rotten millet are of no use except making others feel like Mrs. Xianglin. Dong Qiangqiang is not that kind of person in the first place, so While insisting on contacting Dong's mother every day, he put all his depression and grievances into the silent endorsement.
The review materials he prepared not only included a large number of legal provisions, but also case explanations involving the reasonable use of different legal provisions. Although there were no new words in the review materials, the legal words were not only difficult to read, but also always crossed his mind inadvertently. Those news items were so entangled that Dong Qiangqiang wanted to recite them all within a week, but after reading them twice, he realized that it was not easy to read them without stumbling. In order not to affect his confidence in reviewing, he immediately lowered the difficulty for himself. He stopped reciting it in the first week and read it 100 times a day instead.
When he read it for the first time 100 times, Dong Qiangqiang basically had to memorize it from sunrise to late at night, but he felt cruel in his heart: Since he couldn't go back, he had to get a high score in everything to explain to his parents and himself.
After reading over and over again, Dong Qiangqiang suddenly discovered that the ancient saying "the meaning of a book will be apparent after reading it a hundred times" is indeed true. Although he did not recite it deliberately, the review materials that he had read through were almost half familiar and had been roughly imprinted in his head. He knew that his method was right, so he upgraded the standard to reading 100 times + reciting 1 time per day. His goal is to memorize the public law review materials by heart. If there is an accident and he needs to fly back before the exam, he will definitely pass the exam.
No matter where you are, studying is a hard job. Even if you have the right method and perseverance, there will still be times when you can't memorize the books. At this time, Dong Qiangqiang picks up various sports, whether it is running, swimming or cycling. Ensuring adequate exercise every day can not only help him relax, temporarily forget those troubles, improve his sleep quality, but also allow him to endorse better the next day.
In fact, not only Dong Qiangqiang, but other Chinese students are also in a similar state to him.
The library during the winter vacation was almost entirely filled with Chinese students, and everyone was staring at the computer with serious expressions. He even saw a female classmate secretly wiping tears at the screen.
He couldn't help but remember that before going abroad, he browsed the admission information and professional information of major universities in Germany in the same way, and then waited for the admission notice. Unexpectedly, time has changed, and now he has turned to the Internet to search for various information in China, and then struggled Wait for the epidemic to be over.
Posts in student forums have also shifted from focusing on exams, travel and winter discounts to focusing on the latest domestic developments. Basically, if a post related to China is posted to the forum, the number of views will be extremely high, and it will be automatically pinned to the top, but few people will reply. When everyone was reviewing in the library, they all discussed topics related to China, and everyone looked worried.
Dong Qiangqiang felt from the bottom of his heart that students were becoming depressed both online and offline. He shared the phenomenon he observed with Zheng Chunhua and reminded her to pay attention to the mental health of students, although he is no longer serving as the student union leader. He has any position, but the German who said "everyone is a piece of the continent, a part of the whole" touched him very much. Even if he didn't know other Chinese students, not all students were kind to him, but he thought You can try to open up the situation yourself. After all, we are all Chinese. Even if blood is not thicker than water, there is still a sense of brotherhood.
After being reminded, Zheng Chunhua told Dong Qiangqiang that Sun Tao also called her specifically for this matter and told her to care about the safety of her classmates. He and Sun Tao had the same idea.
A symposium to answer questions, relieve emotions, and resolve problems for the students was soon held. Everyone knew that this symposium would not bring any real results, but more students came than Zheng Chunhua and Dong Qiangqiang expected. When the final count of the students present was made, it was found that it even exceeded the number of people attending the Student Union Spring Festival Gala.
At the end of the meeting, several girls held Zheng Chunhua's hand and thanked the student union for helping them clear up their doubts. Although the worries and worries were definitely still there, they were much better than before when they didn't understand anything.
What surprised Dong Qiangqiang was that Chen Xiaofei, who annoyed him, not only arrived at the meeting, but also unexpectedly ran up to Zheng Chunhua after the meeting and wanted to express his gratitude with a hug. Zheng Chunhua couldn't laugh or cry, so she managed to fool him with a handshake.
The two-point-one-line life of "home + library" every day and the various news that followed made Dong Qiangqiang not even notice that the peach tree branches on campus had unknowingly bloomed into small pale pink flowers. When he finally realized that his down jacket was a bit stuffy and he should change into a thinner spring coat, Qin Youbo immediately conveyed to him the good news: the airport strikes in Europe unexpectedly reached a phased settlement due to compromise between labor and management, although it was not All flights have resumed, but Frankfurt finally has a direct flight to BJ.
Dong Qiangqiang feels that he should return to China to visit his parents, but now he dare not ask for help. The exam is coming soon. Even if the Trier Customs Police Department no longer arrests him for blood and urine tests, if he returns to China and the airport goes on strike again, even if he gets a visa You may not be able to fly back to take the exam while it is still valid.
Perhaps because of the connection between mother and son, Dong's mother, who was far away in BJ, sensed Dong Qiangqiang's worry and self-blame, and also sent Dong Qiangqiang good news: Although Dong's father was still ill, various physical indicators had stabilized and showed signs of improvement. Concord certainly lives up to its reputation.
I don't know whether it was to cooperate with Dong's mother or because he was worried that Dong Qiangqiang was childish, but Dong's father on the hospital bed strongly requested to speak to Dong Qiangqiang.
"Qiang Qiang, I'm fine, don't worry about me. How is your health? Ahem..."
Dong's father's voice sounded weak, and there was no "very good" at all. It was far less sonorous than when he gave himself the APS certificate that year. Dong Qiangqiang's eyes instantly turned red.
"Dad, I... am also fine." Dong Qiangqiang heard his own choked voice for the first time.
"How's your review going? Are you confident (for the exam)?"
"One hundred and one percent sure." Dong Qiangqiang deliberately exaggerated.
Father Dong gave a rare compliment, and then changed the topic: "Qiang Qiang, as I said before, you can't return to China now anyway. This is not a question of filial piety. I don't know when the war between humans and viruses will end. You You are already an adult. As a father, I hope you can be safe, protect yourself, pass the exam smoothly, and enter a higher-level master's study program as soon as possible. That is the greatest comfort and filial piety to your parents. . I’m done, you go and study.”
Dong Qiangqiang heard clearly that Dong's father's attitude was more determined than before. His mind had never changed and he did not want his son to go back.
While the nurse was changing Father Dong's dressing, Mother Dong took the phone from Father Dong's hand and left the ward.
"Mom, is dad really getting better?"
"It's getting better, but the medicine has some side effects, so it remains to be seen."
Dong Qiangqiang's heart tightened: "What are the side effects?"
"It's medicine and poison. As we get older and our organs are not as good as before, we will naturally feel discomfort. These are normal. You don't have to worry about it. Are you really fine in the exam?"
"Mom, don't worry, it will be fine."
"It's no problem. By the way, I have something to tell you. Your dad's friend was the person who might have infected him. He left just after the Spring Festival. Your dad just came out of the ICU not long ago. I'm afraid. He couldn't bear it and I didn't dare to tell him, so you just know."
Before Dong Qiangqiang had time to ask in detail, he heard Dong's mother shouting on the phone in response to someone else's call: "Here you come."
"Qiang Qiang, your dad called me. Take care of yourself and call again when you have time. Remember to pay attention to safety and tell your family if you need anything."
With all kinds of complicated emotions tangled together, Dong Qiangqiang survived from February to March.
The public law exam is coming as scheduled.
