Chapter 244 Qian Gaoyun has grown up
Liushu Village was relatively good. Previously, when she had accompanied the county's art and propaganda team to the countryside for performances, she had learned more about other brigades than she had ever imagined. For example, the wives, concubines, and even underage daughters of the overthrown landlords were directly assigned to those who couldn't find wives.
Some of these people were implicated as vested interests, but some were already victims. Some concubines were sold to landlords as concubines. What had they done to offend anyone?
In the past, she had a "class struggle mentality", thinking that there were no good people in some classes and that any treatment was justified, while some classes were all good people. However, what she saw and heard with her own eyes and ears in those two years made her understand one thing: nothing is absolute.
Looking back now, I was a complete fool when I thought that the countryside was an ideal utopia except for being a little poor and having hard work.
How lucky I was that I didn't go to Chengmajiagou, but was instead arranged to go to Liushutun.
Just as she was about to write to Xie Yun to ask her what she could do, she received a letter from Xie Yun.
Nowadays, phone calls are troublesome and expensive, so unless it is an emergency, they write letters.
Xie Yun sent Qian Gaoyun a script outline, and she suggested that he improve and supplement it before making a movie.
This new play, centered on women's liberation, tells the story of Wang Xiaohua, a rural girl who grew up in a patriarchal family and was sold to an older man as a wife by her parents when she was a teenager. Completely domesticated, Wang Xiaohua lived a numb life until one day, when the commune's leadership changed and educated youth arrived from the city.
During their work, they discovered Wang Xiaohua's plight and felt deeply sympathetic. After investigation, they discovered that there were many other women in similar situations. How could this be tolerated?
What follows is a process in which the secretary and the educated youth try to find ways to save others, while Wang Xiaohua and others try to find ways to save themselves.
In the end, of course, there is a happy ending, the evildoers are punished, and the suffering women comrades are saved.
Their deeds even attracted the attention of national media. The president of the All-China Women's Federation personally inquired about their deeds, and the provincial party secretary also met with them and encouraged them. The rescued women comrades have since started a new life.
Qian Gaoyun immediately applauded when she received the script outline. She was a person with a strong sense of justice. Seeing such things made her blood boil, and she wished she could rush to the scene and participate in it.
But she had a small doubt. In a letter to Xie Yun, she wrote: "This script is adapted from real events. If that's the case, would it be inappropriate for us to mention the All-China Women's Federation and the Secretary of Dong Province? What if they are not happy to appear?"
Xie Yun wrote back to her: "Don't worry, since the script has been written, it should be performed this way."
The development of things is driven by people. If she dares to write like this, she will be confident that these things will actually happen.
Otherwise, why didn't she write about being met by a high-ranking official or the Prime Minister? Isn't it because she wasn't sure she could do it?
She was still confident about the All-China Women's Federation and the Secretary of the Eastern Province.
When Qian Gaoyun saw her words and understood them literally, she was confused because they did not answer the question she asked at all.
But then she thought, Wow! Doesn't this mean that things will develop according to the script? So Xie Binbin first preset the development of the situation and then pushed things forward according to her set route.
Oh my goodness! She's made a great friend! She's driven by circumstances. She does whatever the times require, adapting to the times and achieving both personal and collective development. Xie Yun is the complete opposite. She's driven by circumstances. She wants the times to change because of her, and her personal development is secondary.
Qian Gaoyun thought back to everything that had happened since she decided to go to the countryside and joined the production team in Liushutun. It seemed like everything was related to Xie Yun. Even her own personal development and changes were related to Xie Yun.
Oh, how envious! She actually wanted to be someone like Xie Yun.
But after a few years of social experience, she is no longer as clueless as before. This kind of thing is just a thought, it is impossible to do it.
Qian Gaoyun picked up Xie Yun's script outline and began to fill in and polish the details bit by bit, determined to turn this cold and rigid assembly line event into a deeply moving story.
She wants to use this story to inspire more lesbians to stand up, resist patriarchy, husband power, and all unequal social phenomena, to fight for the basic rights of being a human being, to break free from the shackles and live freely.
She herself cannot change the times, but she can follow those who can change the times.
From then on, she would do whatever Xie Yun asked her to do.
Moreover, she praised the government, educated youth, the Women's Federation, the police, and the army without any instruction, and elevated the action of rescuing women to the level of the new government's wholehearted dedication to the people. In this way, no one could say that there was anything wrong with this action in the future.
After spending a few days revising the script, Qian Gaoyun immediately sent the letter out.
Then, she took out a piece of letter paper and wrote a letter to her parents. After going through so many things, Qian Gaoyun finally grew up.
She thought, when she insisted on going to the countryside, to the most difficult place, and refused to listen to any advice, her parents must have been very sad. And after she arrived in the countryside, she rarely contacted her family and didn't tell them much about the changes in herself. It was really wrong.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qian Gaoyun wrote a long and emotional letter to Qian Daguang and Shao Xiang.
She apologized to her parents for not understanding their good intentions, not communicating with them well, and not keeping in touch with them as much as possible to inform them of her latest progress.
"I'm such an unfilial child. I've made my parents worry about me."
She talked about her growth after going to the countryside, where she made many friends and learned a lot about social science. Therefore, "I will admit my mistakes, but I don't regret my original choice."
She said she would continue to work hard, do her job well, and strive to contribute to the country and the people.
She also revealed that she and Xie Yun are writing a new script and will definitely make another good movie for everyone to watch.
Qian Daguang burst into tears when he saw the letter. The child had grown up and become sensible. The hardships and trials she had endured had eventually become a part of her strong and stable spiritual world. She would live better and better and become more and more outstanding in the future. Nothing could make parents happier than this.
Shao Xiang was also very relieved when he saw the letter.
The couple wrote back to their daughter, praising her profusely and concluding with the following: "Remember to write to us often in the future. Mom and Dad are proud of you."
Then, after the letter was sent, it fell into oblivion and there was no response.
Qian Daguang and Shao Xiang, who had waited at home for more than a month but still received no reply, had no expression on their faces.
Qian Gaoyun, the big fool, had some snacks, but not much.
Shao Xiang said: "It is more realistic to expect Xiao Xie to stir up trouble than to expect her to write letters frequently."
Qian Daguang: “…”
Although, my wife is right.
For Qian Gaoyun, writing the letter was the end of it, and there was no follow-up.
She will be busy with work later.
