In Gao Ying ’s life in the past less than two decades, death has always been a very vague concept in books and film and television dramas. After all, death is a very taboo concept, and adults rarely discuss the issue of death with minors.
However, in such a positive way, after repeatedly seeing someone die in front of him, Gao Ying truly experienced the horror of death. He finally understood why people said that war would destroy people’s ethics and life and death. He has always believed that life is extremely precious, as long as it can save a person’s life, it is worthwhile to pay the greatest price. But now, he only feels creepy at this moment, is human life really precious?
Just now, a person who still has such a fresh life, and who is still determined to live, has died so easily. He couldn’t even leave a last word, he couldn’t even make a struggle, he just died. It turns out that death can come so easily and unreasonably. In reality, no matter how many people die in the news report, it is not comparable to seeing the huge shock caused by the death of a person around you.
“It turned out … I really longed for everlasting life …” Gao Ying laughed self-deprecatingly and said, “I don’t want to die, I definitely don’t want to die like ants …”
Seeing that Gao Ying was incoherent, Hou Mingbo was also worried. He suddenly thought, could this be called PTSD? Hou Mingbo has seen some concepts about PTSD on the Internet, and the translation into Chinese is post-traumatic stress disorder. This is a mental disorder that arises after human beings encounter death threats or witness the death of others in front of themselves.
The character of Gao Ying and Hou Mingbo is not the same after all. Unlike Hou Mingbo, Gao Ying has rarely experienced setbacks from small to large. His parents are senior intellectuals, and he has always been among the best in his school years. He has always had a very smooth life. Compared with Hou Mingbo, whose father suffered from cancer and suffered a lot from birth, his death has been placed in front of him from a vague concept. He can persist calmly to the present, because any distress he encountered in the past can be solved by his own abilities, resulting in strong self-confidence. But this confidence has gradually been destroyed at this time.
“I can’t die … I can’t die … I can’t die …” After Gao Ying repeated three times, he took a deep breath again and forced himself to calm down.
At this time, there was only one strong thought in his mind! He must live, he must get eternal life anyway!
This will became the strongest motivation he could stick to. Then, he looked at Hou Mingbo and said, “Let’s go. In any case, we must live.”
Live on … He finally realized that these three words were so heavy. He actually regarded himself as a savior, and he also hoped that others could survive with his help. Whether he can survive by himself, he cannot guarantee. It is the same now, he also has no confidence to let anyone around him survive. This is an exam that can never fail, and if he can survive today, he will continue to experience this again and again … an exam that can never fail!
“I finally realized that … what the test paper said at the time,” How much are you willing to pay “? How ignorant am I to write” I am willing to pay any price? “
When Gao Ying said this sentence, Hou Mingbo was not very interested. At home, watching his father become bald due to chemotherapy and become thinner and thinner, he always feels that life is impermanent. It’s just that they really realize the so-called “cost” and are they eager for the so-called eternal life? Eternal life means that it can be longer than stars and longer than the universe. Every mortal, eager to have a life longer than the universe, the price to pay, do they really feel it?
They … didn’t understand the so-called life at all, nor did they understand the real death. So, they just so easily … made a contract with the devil.
…
Contrary to Gao Ying, Zhu Sunling experienced death too early.
After experiencing the earthquake and losing his beloved family members, Zhu Sunling knew that Bleach was never a rare guest, and he could come to visit anytime, anywhere. But people living in peaceful times are unaware of this, and they take health and peace of life as a matter of course. I do n’t know … they just happened to be lucky to be alive, that ’s all.
She still remembers that at the memorial service, after lying in the coffin and being reapplied, she seemed to have fallen asleep like a normal father, mother, sister, younger brother … they looked the same as before, but they could no longer speak Can’t cry, can’t smile, and even more … I can’t love her anymore.
At this moment, two emotions that are stronger than mourning are … fortune, and the fear that comes with it. Fortunately, because she was the only one who survived the earthquake disaster. When she saw her dead family, she felt very fortunate how lucky she was to be alive. When she was rescued from the rubble, she would lie in the coffin like her family and fall into a long sleep that would never wake up.
And the fear is … one day in the future, she will still lie in the coffin and let others mourn her. Fortunately, more than ten years later, unfortunately, she may suffer a sudden disaster in the next moment. Why must humans die? Is it the natural law of birth and death? However, when people come to this world, they can only die in a living area for decades. Compared with this universe that was born more than 10 billion years, human life is too short and fragile.
She firmly believes that human life is bound to face death, which is a defect of genetic evolution. Why do normal cells necessarily face death? Why must tangible life decay one day? Why should human beings take for granted the end of their own death? The pursuit of eternal and immortal life has become her obsession since she was 6 years old until today. Therefore, she knew very well that she would have to pay a great price to get eternal life. In her view, even if this is a contract with the devil, it is a very fair and reasonable thing to get eternal life through this horrible exam!
