Chapter 563: The Vast World
No matter what happened in the past, it is an unchangeable fact. You should learn lessons from these experiences instead of complaining blindly. Secondly, you should feel the beauty and innocence of life in this rural life. There is no official intrigue here. You can use your knowledge and strength to help the villagers and create your own value. When you shift your focus from your own gains and losses and pay attention to a wider group, you will find the gift of fate to you. "
Qi Tongwei raised his head and looked at Gao Yuliang, with a hint of confusion in his eyes: "Teacher, can I do it? I have lived in this village for a while, but I still often think of the past, and the resentment in my heart is hard to eliminate."
Gao Yuliang smiled and encouraged, "Tongwei, you can do it. As long as you have determination and perseverance. Look at the mountains, rivers and countryside in this village, they are so peaceful and harmonious. Here, you can reshape your soul. Just like those people who have gone through hardships in the long river of history but still stick to the right path, they have used their actions to interpret that fate is not invincible. You must also believe that your efforts and hard work in this village will be rewarded one day, and you will find your own destiny and gain your own prestige and respect, instead of being trapped in the shadow of the past and fighting against fate in vain like now."
After hearing what Gao Yuliang said, Qi Tongwei couldn't help but burst into laughter, his laughter was full of ridicule and helplessness: "Teacher, you are really talking without any pain. Fate is fair? This is simply a big joke. Look at this world, some people are born with a silver spoon in their mouths, born in Rome, enjoying endless wealth and glory, while the people in this village, some have been trapped in these mountains all their lives, and have never seen the outside world. They work hard every day, but can only barely make a living. Is this what you mean by fate is not invincible? This gap is like a chasm, how to cross it?"
Gao Yuliang frowned and said seriously: "Tongwei, you can't just look at the superficial gap between the rich and the poor and deny the fairness of fate. Those who are born in wealthy families also have their own troubles and difficulties. They may have to bear the expectations and pressure of their families and deal with the world of fame and fortune. They may not be as free and easy as you think. Although the people in the countryside are materially poor, they have simple emotions and a peaceful life. Isn't this a kind of wealth?"
Qi Tongwei retorted excitedly: "Teacher, you are deceiving yourself. Have you ever truly experienced the hardships of rural people? They work from morning till night for a few acres of land, exposed to the wind and sun, and can't earn much money all year round. And the rich people in the city live in luxury houses, drive luxury cars, and squander money at will. How can this sharp contrast be fair? Just like me, I once worked hard and tried to change my fate, but in the end I was defeated by the rules of the game of those powerful people. If fate is fair, why do I have to suffer so much?"
Gao Yuliang looked at Qi Tongwei deeply and said slowly: "Tongwei, suffering is not the injustice of fate to you, but a test. You should have learned to grow and stick to the right path in the suffering, but you chose the shortcut, which led to your subsequent tragedy. You only saw the gap between the rich and the poor, but ignored that the brilliance and ugliness of human nature exist in all classes. In the countryside, you can see neighbors helping each other, and that kind of sincere emotion cannot be bought with money; and in the wealthy circles in the city, there is no shortage of intrigue and deception."
Qi Tongwei sneered: "Teacher, can the brilliance of human nature you mentioned be eaten? Can it change the poverty of these rural people? I have lived in this village for a while and I know their helplessness. They are eager for change and a good life, but the reality is so cruel. And those powerful people can do whatever they want with the power and wealth in their hands. Is this the so-called destiny? I will never accept it!"
Gao Yuliang's tone became more serious: "Tongwei, if you keep blaming others like this, you will only fall into deeper darkness. The fairness of fate is a long-term process, not something that can be achieved overnight. You can use your knowledge and strength in the countryside to bring hope and change to the people here. You can teach children to read and write, so that they have the opportunity to leave the mountains and pursue a broader world; you can help villagers develop characteristic agriculture and increase their income. Isn't this your way to fight against the injustice of fate?"
Qi Tongwei was silent for a moment, his eyes still showing stubbornness: "Teacher, I know you hope that I can make a difference in the village. But the resentment in my heart is hard to calm down. I used to think that I could break the class barriers through my own efforts, but now I understand that some things are destined from birth. I don't want the children of these villagers to struggle in the quagmire of fate like me."
Gao Yuliang stepped forward and put his hands on Qi Tongwei's shoulders: "Tongwei, it's good that you have such an idea. But you can't lose confidence because of this. You have to believe that every tiny effort has the potential to change the trajectory of your destiny. Just like countless changes in history, they all started bit by bit. Every good thing you do in the village may become a turning point in the fate of these children and become a driving force for the development of the entire village."
Qi Tongwei raised his head and looked at Gao Yuliang: "Teacher, can I really do this? I feel that my power is so small. Facing this huge gap between the rich and the poor and social reality, can I really change anything?"
Gao Yuliang looked at him firmly: "Tongwei, you can do it. As long as you don't give up, as long as you stick to the kindness and justice in your heart. Look at the mountains and rivers in this village. Although they are silent, they are pregnant with infinite vitality. You should be like these mountains and rivers, and exert your influence calmly and persistently. Don't be intimidated by the difficulties in front of you, and don't be confused by the appearance of fate. You should write your own legend on the land of this village with your own actions, proving that fate is not unchangeable. Even if it is just a little change, it is a pursuit of fairness."
Qi Tongwei's eyes wavered, and he began to think about Gao Yuliang's words. Although his doubts and reluctance still existed, he also realized that complaining blindly would not solve the problem. He looked at the mountains in the distance and the scattered farmhouses at the foot of the mountain, and a complex emotion surged in his heart. He knew that he was facing a difficult choice.
