When Ye Chen walked to the terrace on the third floor of the villa alone, the convoy of Liu Jiahui and Chen Zhaozhong’s family had already entered the villa courtyard one after another.
The reporters flocked in following the motorcade. The best lion dance team on Hong Kong Island performed the two lifelike lion dances in a dazzling manner. The scene was extremely hot.
Although Ye Chen has always disliked hot scenes, but now seeing this scene, he is very relieved.
The thick smoke produced by the explosion of the firecrackers rose up with the strong smell of gunpowder. This familiar but unfamiliar smell made Ye Chen suddenly feel refreshed.
He liked the smell of gunpowder smoke when firecrackers burnt out since he was a child, but with the ban on fireworks and firecrackers everywhere over the years, he has not smelled this familiar smell for a long time.
It may also be related to the Chinese people’s love of fireworks and firecrackers during festivals and festivals, so every time I smell this smell, it is also a good time for family reunion and happy events, especially when Ye Chen was young, when it was New Year’s and festivals. , his parents will make special time to accompany him to set off fireworks.
At that time, Ye Chen could not wait to shoot from the 30th of the new year until the 15th of the first lunar month.
So this kind of taste will also make Ye Chen involuntarily find the happiness that was unique to his childhood.
Ye Chen stood on the edge of the terrace, took a few greedy breaths, and couldn’t help thinking of his parents again.
Most of the time, Ye Chen is a strong person. He rarely sheds tears and is never afraid. No matter how hard life has given him, he can still live with a smile.
But only when he misses his parents, will the fragile sensitivity in his heart be exposed involuntarily.
His character is like a hedgehog with strong armor, and his parents are his soft and fragile abdomen.
He saw Chen Zhaozhong in a suit getting out of the car. Chen Zhaozhong was wearing the same suit he had brought when he fled to the United States. After so many years, the suit still fit perfectly, and although his hair was already It’s white, but it looks extraordinarily energetic.
In Ye Chen’s mind, he suddenly remembered what his father had said to him when he was a child.
Those words were also the reason why he refused his grandfather and insisted on taking his mother back to Huaxia.
He said: “Chen’er, you have to remember that any person with a righteous heart and flesh and blood must have three souls and seven souls. If such a person is far away from his homeland for a long time, the three souls and seven souls will be missing one soul. If you go to your homeland, the lost soul will be found naturally, if you don’t return to your homeland, or if your homeland is lost, then this soul will never be found again.”
Seeing that Chen Zhaozhong seemed to be ten years younger overnight, Ye Chen suddenly realized the true meaning of his father’s words.
My father also said: “Among the three souls and seven souls of human beings, the three souls are the soul of heaven, the soul of earth and the soul of fate.
After speaking, his father asked him again: “Chen’er, do you know why in the long history of five thousand years, when the country is in crisis and the country is lost, countless ancestors will sacrifice their lives for the country one after another?”
Young Ye Chen shook his head ignorantly and asked, “Why dad?”
Father smiled slightly and explained: “That’s because people can lose the other two souls and seven souls, but they can’t have the heavenly soul! Because among the three souls and seven souls, the heavenly soul is the most important, because it represents a person. One’s highest belief is one’s belief in the homeland, the motherland, and the nation. This is the reason why my father chose to return to China, and it is also why the Jewish people have gone through so many hardships, but they still have to pay attention to everything. The reason for returning to Palestine and establishing Israel is because they, like their father, want to find their heavenly souls, the only difference is that my father left their homeland and they lost their homeland.”
Young Ye Chen didn’t understand the feelings of family and country, so he didn’t understand why his father was full of tears when he said this.
But now, when he saw Chen Zhaozhong’s radiant face, as if he was reborn, he really understood his father’s burning sincerity.
Ye Chen couldn’t help thinking that he did not leave his homeland to develop overseas, nor did he forget his original intention, nor was he blinded by material desires, but his three souls and seven souls had long since ceased to be complete, because the day his parents died When he started, his earth soul, which represented his parents, also went away with them.
