Chapter 847 Heavy Blow
But the reality dealt me a heavy blow. I found that the officialdom was not as simple as I imagined. The struggle for power and interests was everywhere. In order to climb up, I did many things that went against my conscience, and I lost a lot because of it. "
"But haven't you changed now?" Liang Lu said gently, "What you are doing now is for the people and for this society. Your efforts are seen by everyone, and the people are very grateful to you."
Qi Tongwei looked at Liang Lu with deep affection in his eyes: "If it weren't for you, I might never get out of that dark abyss. It was you who accompanied me and supported me when I was most confused, and helped me find myself again."
The rain gradually stopped, and a gorgeous rainbow appeared in the sky. The children cheered and pointed at the rainbow and shouted excitedly. Qi Tongwei and Liang Lu walked out of the pavilion and strolled in the sea of flowers after the rain. The fresh air was filled with the fragrance of soil and flowers, which made people feel particularly comfortable.
"After the rain, the sea of flowers becomes even more beautiful," Qi Tongwei said with emotion.
"Yes, just like our life, it will become more wonderful after experiencing the baptism of wind and rain." Liang Lu responded.
After returning home, Qi Tongwei was still in a state of anxiety. He sat in his study, thinking about his feelings in the sea of flowers today, and a new idea came to his mind. He decided to record his experiences and feelings, hoping to bring enlightenment to more people.
So Qi Tongwei began to write his own story. He started with his childhood, wrote about his hard life in the countryside, wrote about his desire for knowledge and his vision for the future; then wrote about his struggles and confusion after entering the officialdom, wrote about the mistakes he made for power and status; finally wrote about how he found his original intention with the support of his family and the expectations of the people, and returned to the path of serving the people.
During the writing process, Qi Tongwei constantly reflected on his life. He realized that the value of life is not to pursue power and wealth, but to contribute to others and society. The setbacks and difficulties he had experienced were all the tempering of life, making him stronger and more mature.
A few days later, Qi Tongwei finished his story. He showed the manuscript to Liang Lu, who was moved to tears after reading it.
"Tongwei, this is the most real and touching story I have ever seen." Liang Lu said, "I believe your story will inspire many people and help them find their own direction in life."
Qi Tongwei smiled and said: "I just want to share my experience with everyone, so that everyone knows that no matter how big the difficulties are, don't give up your beliefs. Life is like a journey, with sunshine and wind and rain, but as long as we keep going, we will always see beautiful scenery."
Later, Qi Tongwei's story attracted widespread attention in society. Many people were moved by his experience and drew strength from his story. Inspired by him, some young people chose to devote themselves to the cause of serving the people; some people who encountered setbacks in life also picked themselves up and bravely faced the challenges of life.
Qi Tongwei still sticks to his beliefs in the officialdom and works for the welfare of the people. His family is becoming happier and happier, and his children are growing up healthily under their care. In every ordinary day, Qi Tongwei deeply realizes that the true meaning of life lies in persevering in the wind and rain and creating extraordinary things in the ordinary.
It was another sunny weekend, and Qi Tongwei brought his family to a mountain in the suburbs. They climbed along the winding mountain road, enjoying the beauty of nature along the way. The children ran ahead excitedly, stopping from time to time to pick wild flowers on the roadside.
When they reached the top of the mountain, the scenery in front of them amazed them. The mountains in the distance were rolling and shrouded in clouds and mist, like a beautiful painting. Qi Tongwei and Liang Lu stood on the top of the mountain, feeling the breeze, their hearts filled with love for life and expectations for the future.
"Tongwei, look how beautiful the scenery is." Liang Lu said with emotion.
Qi Tongwei gently put his arm around Liang Lu's shoulders: "Yes, although there have been hardships along the way, we have also gained countless beautiful things. Just like our life, there are storms and rainbows. As long as our family is together, no difficulty can stump us."
At the top of the mountain, the family happily took a photo together.
Liang Lu snuggled up to Qi Tongwei, her eyes full of happiness.
"Dad, Mom, look, that cloud looks like a big rabbit!" The youngest son pointed to the sky excitedly and shouted. Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, and sure enough, a white cloud changed into the shape of a rabbit in the breeze, as if it was jumping in the sky.
"That's true!" Qi Tongwei responded with a smile. He felt particularly happy. These simple and beautiful moments made him feel extremely precious.
After playing for a while at the top of the mountain, the family began to slowly go down the mountain. On the way back, the children were like two happy little deer, jumping and running in front, and stopping from time to time to wait for their parents who were lagging behind.
"Tongwei, the children are so happy today." Liang Lu said with a smile, looking at the children's backs.
"Yes, as long as they are happy, we as parents will be satisfied." Qi Tongwei said with emotion, "I have been busy and experienced so much in these years. Now I really understand that the true meaning of life is hidden in these ordinary days."
Liang Lu nodded slightly, her eyes full of approval.
When they got home, night had already fallen. The children were playing with toys in the room, and bursts of laughter could be heard from time to time. Qi Tongwei and Liang Lu sat on the sofa in the living room, enjoying this rare tranquility.
"I'm a little tired after playing today, but I was really happy." Liang Lu leaned on Qi Tongwei's shoulder and said softly.
Qi Tongwei gently stroked Liang Lu's hair: "Me too, I haven't felt so relaxed in a long time."
At some point, the two gradually fell asleep. In the dream, Qi Tongwei returned to the challenging officialdom. He stood in a huge conference room, surrounded by a group of serious-looking officials. A heated policy discussion was going on, with various opinions colliding fiercely, and his ideas were strongly opposed by some people.
"Qi Tongwei, your plan is too idealistic and totally unrealistic!" an elderly official said loudly, frowning.
"Yes, this will harm the interests of many people and it will be too difficult to implement." Another voice echoed.
Qi Tongwei did not back down. He stood there calmly with a firm gaze: "I admit that this plan will be difficult to implement, but isn't our purpose as an official to seek welfare for the people? The current difficulties are only temporary. We cannot give up the right thing just because we are afraid of difficulties."
