"At that time, I felt that the image of Hong Kong people depicted in my memory had been overturned by me. I was holding a fire in my heart. I didn't know what to do."
"But what happened next made me change my mind. We left the hotel to eat. Director Yu took us to a restaurant that made delicious barbecued pork."
"The boss grew up in a port city, but his father's generation came from our mainland. His father always taught him not to forget where his roots are. Even before he died, he was still talking about wanting to return to his roots."
"The boss's lover also came from the mainland. He has been in Hong Kong City for more than ten years. He misses his hometown all the time. When he talks about home, his eyes get red. They are all looking forward to when they can set foot on our land."
"The boss told us that there are many people like them who have left their homeland and are wondering when they can return to the mainland."
"At that moment, I suddenly understood that the people here are looking at them, and the people over there are also looking at us. Perhaps, in addition to those who ridicule and belittle, more people have a common wish with us. That’s the reunion.”
"I suddenly feel at ease, because I know that no matter how far or how long the child leaves his hometown, one day he will return to his mother's arms again. At that time, it will be time to break free from the shackles."
"I hope everyone can see with me the day when I break free of the shackles."
After saying these words, Mu Qiu bowed deeply. The moment he bent down, a crystal teardrop fell on the ground. Su Qingyun next to him could clearly see it, and a sourness surged in his heart.
The problem of the port city has existed for a long time. It is very sensitive to mention it at this time. But Su Qingyun knows that this may be something Mu Qiu has been holding in his heart and wanted to say for a long time. Today he finally said it. He can also Breathed a sigh of relief.
Her guess was correct. These were indeed words that Mu Qiu had suppressed in his heart for a long time. He remembered the condescending face of the woman on the plane, and also remembered the front desk lady at the hotel who laughed at them thinking they didn't understand Cantonese. He also remembered the hotel owner. The bitter smile and Sister Ali’s lonely face.
These words had been buried in his heart and he was unwilling to say them out. He had actually drafted them just now, but when he stood in front of Li Mai, he suddenly didn't want to say those words. He just wanted to say what he wanted to say.
Now that he finally said it, Mu Qiu felt relaxed all over, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.
Everyone in the audience was silent for a long time. Many people were moved and in tears. Mu Qiu's words almost touched their hearts.
Yu Qi and Director Feng were also deeply stunned. They did not expect that Mu Qiu, who usually looked so heartless, would say such a thing?
After being stunned, he became moved.
After a long time, the warm applause in the venue lasted for a long time, and they all cheered for what the young man said.
Su Qingyun looked at the leaders in the first row who were also smiling and applauding, and felt relieved for Mu Qiu. It's okay, it's okay.
In the end, Su Qingyun was the only one left to speak.
She stood in front of Li Mai, looking at the countless pairs of eyes in the audience, and suddenly she was at a loss for words and didn't know what to say.
?Feelings for family and country, love and perseverance, they have all said it, what should she say?
Everyone looked at the silent girl on the stage, looking forward to her dialect.
Countless thoughts flashed through her mind, and many words passed between her lips and teeth. Su Qingyun thought a lot before she finally spoke.
"Hello everyone, I am Su Qingyun, from Province S. Just now you have said a lot of what is in your heart, and I also want to say what is in my heart."
"I come from a remote village. Among the people born and raised in our village, I am the first to come to such a distant place."
There were many people in the audience who did not understand Su Qingyun's origins and were very shocked.
The reason is because this little girl doesn't look like she grew up in the countryside at all. Her temperament, her talent, her calm personality, and her whole body don't look like she is a girl from the countryside.
??If she hadn't said it herself, they would have thought that this little girl was so outstanding because she grew up in a big city with a good family background and received the best education.
"The farthest distance that many people in our village have ever traveled is our county. Most of them are farmers with their backs to the sky and their faces to the loess. They only care about the food harvest."
"They have no way to see such a vast outside world like me, nor can they see so many wonderful people and things. They may be limited to their own small world for the rest of their lives."
"When I say this, I don't mean to show off that I am more knowledgeable than them or anything else. I just want to say that they may not know math or even know many words, but they all have their own skills and their own Something to be good at.”
"Some of them don't know what a detection instrument is, but they can accurately tell the weather tomorrow by just looking at the clouds in the sky. Some people can tell when the weather should be right by just touching the wheat in the field. Fertilization, when irrigation is needed, when sunshine and rain are needed; some people have a pair of skillful hands and can weave many exquisite utensils and carve complicated patterns..."
"They don't have much expectations in this life. They just hope that their family will be healthy and have enough to eat every day. That is the greatest satisfaction. They don't have much culture themselves and don't know how to raise their children. So now they are running around in the countryside unscrupulously. Children don’t know that on the other side of the world, there will be people sitting in bright classrooms reciting ancient Chinese poems.”
"Our country is very big, with a vast territory and huge cultural and geographical differences. There are thousands of villages like ours, and there are thousands of children like that who have not received formal education."
"I am standing here today because I won the award. Many people say that I have talent, but talent also needs to be cultivated. I am very fortunate that my family understands the importance of education and they keep me fed, clothed and educated. Education will give me the opportunity to leave the village and come here to speak to you at this moment."
"Perhaps, among those buried children, there are many people with the same talent as me, but no one knows about it, and no one waters or fertilizes them. Those children are like forgotten seeds, even if In the beginning, no matter how round and full it was, in the days of forgetfulness, it finally failed to break out of the ground and shriveled under the soil quietly."
Su Qingyun's words once again made everyone in the audience think.
