We moved to a new home today.
Very big new home.
In the new home, there is a basketball court and swimming pool that Kuan likes, and a library that 놖 likes.
I heard that this was not planned beforehand, but my mother knew that I liked it, so she added it specially for me.
Thank you, mom.

A few fast food customers came to my house today.
The elderly man in the lead was very old and looked very pitiful. He looked at me from moment to moment with a look of longing in his eyes, which was a little scary.
Just as 놖 was about to speak, her mother blindfolded her and had Uncle 꽮伟 take her away.
Really curious.
I went to ask my father who that was.
Dad told children not to meddle in adult affairs.
Oh.
You are ten years old now, you are already an adult, okay?

Today is the day I officially become a junior high school student, with my sister.
Ever since I started primary school, my mother often asked me whether I could adapt to school life.
She seemed very scared and went to a nursery for only two days.
Other mothers are worried about their children's academic performance, but this mother is worried that her child will become lonely and unsociable if he reads alone and doesn't interact with his peers.
But I have always felt lonely.
Differential calculus, surface integration, Stiegs integration, Riemann theory, Fourier series...the combination of these symbols and curves makes the world the same and brings you great joy.
But mom's mood is like an umbrella at home.
If she showed the slightest sign of worry or sadness, her father would frown, and her sister was not as cheerful and lively as before. Sister Ning and Brother Kuan looked at her with admiration.
All right.
In order to avoid such family conflicts, the reading place was moved from the library to the elementary school classroom.
Fortunately, elementary school classes are much more relaxed than daycare centers.
There are no annoying people running around or yelling monsters here, but there are white noise when the teachers are teaching, which helps people concentrate better.
When I was in the first grade, the teacher called my parents in because I read extracurricular books in class.
But I know how mom and dad negotiated with the teacher.
From then on, the teacher no longer cared about me in class.
Today is the first day of junior high school, and my parents went to see 놖놅's class teacher again.

Today, a grandfather came to the school to see 놖 and gave 놖눈 some questions.
When my mother arrived, she saw the old man immediately stand up and shake hands with my mother very solemnly.
I know that my mother has a high status and is very powerful in the academic field, but she has always been very low-key and never talked about it at home, so that my sister still thinks that my mother is an ordinary teacher.
After finishing the questions, my mother asked me whether I wanted to study in school or study with this old man.
Grandpa said he was studying nuclear fission and fusion, and you can ask him any questions you have.
But 놖 thought 놖 had no problem with his skills, so she rejected him.
Grandpa said that he would have to go to a hidden base in the northwest and it would take several or even ten years before he could return home.
I remembered that my uncle only returned home after my grandfather's funeral this year. My uncle was a patrol officer at a special base and didn't even see my grandfather for the last time.
I really want to leave home.
March 2, 1994, cloudy.
놖I registered for the college entrance examination today.
My parents said that at the age of sixteen, I am mentally an adult and can make my own decisions.
I had read all the books in the library of Kyoto University, so I decided to apply to Hua University.
My mother joked that I had made a decision that went against our ancestors, but I must never let Grandpa Ye and Uncle Xiao know.
Thinking of the elders nagging, I understood and decided not to say more.

Today, a classmate went crazy in the teaching and research office and smashed a lot of things. Many teachers came, and I heard that his parents were here.
When my roommates talked about this incident, they all sighed and said they could understand that student.
After all, he had been a proud child all the way to Huazhong University, but he suffered repeated setbacks here. How could he collapse after falling from heaven?
If they continue to study, they will soon collapse.
I know that those who can be admitted to Hua Luogeng Class of Hua University are among the best talents in the country.
They have been surrounded by flowers, honor and applause since childhood, and grew up being praised as "genius" one after another.
It was not until last year when he scored full marks in all subjects in the college entrance examination that he gradually came into the attention of people around him because of the title of "genius".
Get the attention and care of family members.
Therefore, compared with other geniuses in the same class, I feel deeply fortunate.
In fact, I knew since second grade that I was not the same as other children.
Even some words that seem to be knowledgeable to them are extremely difficult for them to learn.
Many teachers praised me for my intelligence. In junior high school, a pillar in the nuclear science community even wanted to take me in as a disciple. They imagined a brilliant future for me and praised me to the skies, saying that I should be "revitalized" and "risen".
——gave me many responsibilities and obligations that I could understand when I was a child.
But fortunately, these only account for a small part of our life.
He is an ordinary son at home, no different from other families.
My mother would scold me for being stupid because I knew to use a towel to support the hot plate.
My father would complain about my weak physique and sternly demand that I follow my brother Kuan to exercise every day;
Sister Ning would put her hands on her hips and tell me to buy fewer books, because the library at home is almost full.
Brother Kuan would give me a gentle sympathy when I finished doing pull-ups;
Jiang Mi has always treated 놖 as his brother, and he orders 놖 around with ease.
It was not until I went to college that I realized that other "geniuses" had spent their childhoods doing exercises and studying day after day.
They never caught butterflies, played hide-and-seek, or fought with their sister over the TV. They didn't have any of the happiness that ordinary kids have.
So when I grew up, I was very grateful to my family for allowing me to grow up happily like a normal child.
Those rare and fun experiences in childhood are like the sparkling stones on the beach at sunset. They are precious memories that make you smile whenever you think of them.

The instructor asked 놖 to go to the office today and told 놖 about the Gulf War that occurred in 1990.
The US-led coalition forces put a large number of high-tech weapons into actual combat for the first time, demonstrating overwhelming air and electromagnetic superiority, and opening up a new modern military battlefield with absolute advantage.
This war not only strengthened the United States' hegemony in the world, made us clearly aware of the gap between each other, but also brought us enlightenment.
In future modern wars, there will surely be no more bloodshed, as in World War I and World War II, in which our soldiers will carve out a bloody path with their flesh and blood.
Unmanned warships, drones, and robot wolves are the future direction of military technology!
The mentor asked if you were willing to join the national organization for this 20-year plan.
놖 agreed without hesitation.
