Seeing Lang Hongjun’s face full of shame, Ye Chen’s impression of him changed a little.
Originally thought he was just an egoist who was greedy for glory and wealth, but looking at it now, he still had some conscience in his heart.
And Lang Hongjun himself has never said such heartfelt words to anyone over the years.
He didn’t really think that he had a great fate with Yechen, and he could let him speak the deepest hidden words in his heart.
He just kept these words in his heart for too long, and he didn’t spit it out, but he couldn’t find a suitable person to talk to.
So Yechen comforted him and said, “The motherland has always been tolerant to its children. After so many people like you have gone back for so many years, the motherland has always embraced it openly. For the motherland, it is constantly sending talents out for further study and making progress. It’s not that everyone can go back to serve the motherland after completing their studies, but as long as some of the people sent out are willing to go back, then it’s worth doing. As for the part that is lost in the middle, it’s just normal. It’s just a loss.”
After a pause, Yechen said again: “It’s like using a foam box to transport a piece of ice, no matter how tightly you wrap the ice, it will definitely melt away part of it during transportation, but it doesn’t matter, to the ice transporter. Said that as long as there is ice left when reaching the destination, then these efforts are of practical significance.”
Lang Hongjun was slightly startled, then nodded lightly, and said in his mouth: “Actually, we were attracted by the colorful world of the West back then, and we always felt that the stage was bigger and we could better play ourselves. In fact, we also And I didn’t really forget the motherland, but everyone was full of energy in their hearts. If they got along well, they would go back to serve the motherland a hundred times, a thousand times, and ten thousand times, but there are always some people like me, although they were arrogant and arrogant back then. , but gradually it disappeared from the crowd…”
Speaking of which, Lang Hongjun said with tears in his eyes: “I really want to serve the motherland! But now I can’t even feed my own mother. She is in her 70s and still has to work in a Chinese restaurant to make money. To subsidize the family, I have read books for so many years, learned so much technology, and wrote so much code, but in the end I have to work as a seafarer to support my family, how can I have the face to return to China?”
Yechen asked him, “Do you understand the work of seafarers?”
Lang Hongjun shook his head and said, “I only know the general work flow, but I don’t know the specific work methods. I’m probably just doing errands on the boat. After all, I’m new here, and I’m still learning. The most important thing in this work is hard work. Some, can’t get home for a year and a half.”
Marven Ye asked again, “Then do you think you are suitable to be a seaman?”
Lang Hongjun shook his head again: “To be honest, I work in communication technology. If you want to ask me how to locate the freighter, how to avoid obstacles, and how to communicate with the land through satellite, I can tell you one, two or three, but you Let me be a seaman, I am really confused, I don’t even know the basic structure of the ship, I don’t even know if I will get seasick when I get on the ship.”
Speaking, Lang Hongjun said with emotion: “But there is no way, for the sake of life.”
Ye Chen chatted with Lang Hongjun for a long time, and learned more about Lang Hongjun’s past.
Lang Hongjun used to be a gifted boy.
When others just got high school textbooks, he had already been admitted to a key university.
While others were preparing for the college entrance examination, he had already gone abroad as a public student.
Those young people at that time, before coming to the United States, had an unwilling heart.
At that time, it coincided with the golden age of the rapid development of Silicon Valley and the Internet changing the world. Lang Hongjun saw that like him, Zhang Chaoyang, who also studied in the United States, returned to China and founded Sohu. Baidu.
He also saw many seniors and seniors who stayed in the United States for development. In the process of the explosive development of the Internet, one by one became rich.
