Brother Changliang is a distant cousin of my grandmother's family. He was six or seven years older than me, and he was my teacher in terms of life experience, knowledge and experience. When he was sixteen years old, a serious illness killed his father. He lives with his deaf-mute mother, younger brother Changju and younger sister Lingling. Brother Changliang has a good talent in learning, but unfortunately: the changes in his family and the harsh reality make him have to interrupt his beloved studies. His young and immature shoulders prematurely pressed the burden of family life.

In 1983, I missed my homework due to illness, and resumed classes at the Wang Lou School where my grandmother's family was located for three months. There I had the privilege of getting to know and learning about Brother Changliang. He, a head of one meter and seventy-five, a strong and healthy body highlights the vitality of youth, a thick and erect short hair is enough to witness his stubbornness, a pair of small eyes flashing wisdom and self-confidence, wide and powerful palms are difficult to think of the white and slender of the reader.

At that time, I ate at my grandmother's house, studied my homework at school during the day, and lived at Changliangge's house at night. He was intelligent by nature and wrote a beautiful and elegant pen. The font is timeless and beautiful, like the clouds flowing water, the words are like his people, which is the true portrayal of his seriousness and honesty. He had dropped out of school and was busy with farming during the day, but the heavy physical labor did not stop his strong desire for knowledge. In the early eighties, the croppers had just solved the problem of food and clothing, and the people did not have extra money to enrich their spiritual life. He raised more than twenty long-haired rabbits, and the income from buying rabbit hair was used to support the family's expenses. Usually he lived a simple life, most of the money saved bought books, he has always had a strong interest in reading, I see his desk often put "Garland Under the Mountain" and "Nova" two books. When night fell, a kerosene lamp accompanied him, and he was like a fish swimming happily in the sea of books, and the hardships and fatigue of the day's labor disappeared in an instant. In his words, reading not only improved his academic accomplishment and cultural taste, but also tempered his tenacious and tenacious will and character, and cultivated his positive and enterprising attitude towards life. I was even more obsessed with him telling me about the characters, fates and feelings in the book, and influenced by his influence, I also liked to read, some of the wonderful fragments in the book often made me unable to release the volume, and the seeds of love of literature were sown in the young mind. I learned from him what "scar literature" is, there is a writer in Shandong named Li Cunbao, and how attractive the protagonist Li Xiangnan in "Nova" is...

I greatly admire The literary talent of Chang Liangge, those fashionable and popular words in his pen are like magicians changing tricks, a few strokes of a vivid character image jumped on the paper, just a few words to bring me into a fascinating situation. In those days, he was selflessly writing a short story "Sister Yun", he carefully summarized the lessons of the previous article writing, analyzed the reasons for the rejection of the editorial department, and after repeated revisions, finally wrote an article of more than 3,000 words. The work takes "Sister Yun" rebelling against arranged marriage as a clue, depicts "her" rich inner world with delicate brushstrokes, and praises "Sister Yun" for her yearning for a better life and her persistent pursuit of love by describing the protagonist's difficult life experience. The novel is cleverly conceived, and the plot is vivid and touching, and it is tear-jerking. In the "Yun Sister" undoubtedly reflects the shadow of Chang Liangge's arduous search. After the draft was finalized, he scribbled it neatly and neatly in block letters on the special manuscript paper, without a trace of smearing. Then put it into an envelope and send it to the editorial department of Jiangsu "Youth Literature and Art". From then on, a beautiful dream began to weave in his heart: he looked forward to the good news of the publication of his work like a lover waiting for a lover in love.

About a month and a half passed. It was a clear spring night, and the silver plate-like moon hung in the sky, sprinkling a clear glow like water on the world. A light veil of mist lingered on the ground, and the night sky was filled with the joy of branches sprouting and the earth warming. I had eaten dinner, walked on the dirt road leading to Changliangge's home with books and homework assigned by the teacher, and the night in the countryside was quiet and peaceful, like a sleeping baby enjoying the warmth and comfort of love in the arms of her mother. Walking to the wooden fence gate of Brother Changliang's house, I saw a charming light in his house. I crept open the hidden door, hey! He didn't even notice me. I went around behind him, and he was sitting in a chair intently looking at a piece of paper, and on the table was an open envelope with the words of the editorial board of Shonen Literature and Art.

"Ah, the newsroom has written, your work has been published." Brother Changliang was shocked by my body, turned around and pretended to be angry and gave me a punch. Immediately hugged me excitedly, laughing out loud like a child.

"Yes, my dream has come true, and there is also a credit to you, and the two suggestions you gave me for the modification are so good!" Then he let go of his arms and hugged me and stared me solemnly into my eyes, and I saw that his cheeks were still flushed with excitement.

"Brother, it seems that we do things to have perseverance, do not be discouraged when we fail, Edison invented the electric lamp do not know how many times it has failed, failure is the mother of success, there will be dawn when there is a dream." I listened silently and attentively, nodded my head unceasingly, and saw that after going through twists and turns, I finally tasted the joy of success, and I was happy and proud of him in my heart. At the same time, I secretly vowed in my heart: I will take him as an example, study hard, and prove with excellent results that I am not mediocre either.

Soon, I was transferred back to my home school. When I was parting, he gave me a hardcover notebook, which recorded the experience of some famous artists he read, which was like a fresh mountain spring that always moistened my thirst for knowledge and became an inexhaustible driving force for me to climb the peak of cultural knowledge.

Later, Chang Liangge was recruited by the village as a private teacher, really can be described as a hero has a place to play, he cherishes the hard-won job opportunities, in order to live up to the leadership's trust, parents' trust, students' expectations, he studied business hard, and strived to improve classroom teaching skills, and consciously used new courses, new ideas to guide and standardize their own teaching practices, his lectures for students have a magnet pull. Every year, the teaching results in the township unified examination always rank among the best, and he has been rated as an outstanding teacher in the county many times. He used wisdom and sweat to water and cultivate the flowers of the motherland, worked the three-foot podium, and silently realized the value of his life. It is gratifying that he was finally favored by the goddess of luck, and in the 1993 juye county-wide private teacher regularization examination, he stood out from many test takers and ranked first in the list, thus realizing his long-cherished dream of being a qualified people's teacher.

Brother Changliang, a strong man in life. A person who is not willing to be lonely and is good at surprising people. I sincerely wish him a newer and more beautiful note in the future movements of his life.
