Lu Xue's Journey Through the Capital of the 1960s
Lu Xue felt dizzy and her head was heavy. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself in a completely unfamiliar place. The old courtyard, mottled walls, windows covered with newspapers, and furniture with a rustic atmosphere all confused her. "Where is this? Why am I here?" Lu Xue muttered to herself, her heart full of fear and uneasiness. She tried to recall, and only remembered that she was in her modern home, reading a history book about the 1960s, when suddenly a strong light flashed, and then she lost consciousness. At this moment, a noisy sound came from the yard. "Hey, this girl is finally awake!" The voice of a middle-aged woman came over. Then, the door was pushed open, and an aunt dressed simply but neatly walked in, followed by several curious children. "Girl, you are finally awake, you have been unconscious for a day and a night." The aunt said with concern. Lu Xue looked at the person in front of her, her heart full of doubts, but she still pretended to be calm and asked: "Auntie, where is this? How did I get here?" Auntie was stunned for a moment and said: "This is Beijing, kid, are you confused? You fainted at the entrance of the alley the other day, and my husband carried you back." Lu Xue was shocked, Beijing? Beijing in the 1960s? She really traveled through time! Lu Xue tried to calm herself down, she knew that now she could only accept this reality. She thanked her auntie and said that she might have fallen on her head and didn't remember many things. Auntie didn't ask much, just asked her to have a good rest and tell her if she needed anything. In the following days, Lu Xue began to slowly adapt to the life of this era. She followed her auntie to learn how to cook all kinds of coarse grains, learn to wash clothes with soap, and learn to repair clothes by herself. The children in the yard also liked her very much, and often took her to play in the alley and told her interesting stories of this era. One day, Lu Xue was running in the alley with the children, and suddenly heard a melodious erhu sound. She followed the sound and found an old man sitting at the door playing the erhu. The sound was like crying and telling stories. Lu Xue was deeply attracted. She stood there quietly, listening to the old man playing one song after another. The old man noticed Lu Xue, stopped the erhu in his hand, smiled and asked: "Girl, do you like listening to the erhu?" Lu Xue nodded quickly and said: "Grandpa, you play it very well. I have never heard such a beautiful erhu song." The old man smiled and said: "It's good to like it. This erhu is a treasure passed down by our ancestors." Since then, Lu Xue often went to the old man to listen to him play the erhu and listen to his stories from the past. The old man also liked Lu Xue very much. He taught Lu Xue how to play the erhu and how to feel the emotions in the music. Lu Xue studied very hard. She found that in this era without mobile phones and the Internet, music and stories are so precious. However, life is not always smooth sailing. One day, several strangers came to the yard. They said that Lu Xue's origin was unknown and she might be a spy. Aunt's family tried their best to defend Lu Xue, but those people didn't listen at all. Lu Xue was very scared. She knew that in this special era, being regarded as a spy was a serious matter. Just when Lu Xue felt desperate, the old grandfather stood up. He said that Lu Xue was the child of his distant relative, and because of a change in his family, he came to Beijing to seek refuge with him. When those people saw the old grandfather come out, they didn't say anything and left. Lu Xue looked at the old grandfather gratefully, with tears in her eyes. After this incident, Lu Xue cherished her life here more. She and her aunt's family, the old grandfather and the children in the yard had a better and better relationship, and she gradually integrated into this Beijing in the 1960s. As time went by, Lu Xue found that she liked this era more and more. Although life was hard, the feelings between people were very sincere. She began to use the knowledge she learned in modern times to help people in the yard solve some problems. For example, she taught the children some simple math and English knowledge, and taught Aunt how to cook and wash clothes in a more scientific way. Days passed one by one, and Lu Xue found her place in this capital city of the 1960s. She didn't know if she could return to the modern world, but she was no longer afraid. Because here, she had a new family, new friends, and an unforgettable experience. On a sunny day, Lu Xue played with the children in the alley as usual. Suddenly, a strong light flashed in the sky, and Lu Xue's body floated up involuntarily. The children watched this scene in horror and shouted Lu Xue's name. Lu Xue only felt a white light in front of her eyes, and when she opened her eyes again, she found herself back in her modern home. She looked at the familiar room, but her heart was full of loss. She knew that she had said goodbye to the capital city of the 1960s and those kind people. However, Lu Xue knew that the experience of traveling through time would always remain in her heart. She would always remember the warmth of her aunt, the laughter of the children, and the sound of the erhu of the old grandfather. She would regard this experience as the most precious treasure in her life and treasure it well.
One day, a storyteller came to the village and set up his stage under the old locust tree at the entrance of the village. Lu Xue ran to join in the fun with the children. In the crowd, a familiar figure made her stop instantly. He was a middle-aged man with an upright figure. Even though he was wearing a coarse linen shirt, he could not hide his unique temperament. Lu Xue's heartbeat suddenly quickened. She whispered in disbelief, "Dad?" The man heard the voice and turned his head abruptly. The moment he saw Lu Xue, his eyes were full of shock and surprise. "Xiaoxue! It's really you!" The man took a few steps over and hugged Lu Xue tightly. Lu Xue's tears burst out. She never thought that she would be able to reunite with her father in this distant sixties.
The two found a quiet place, sat down and talked in detail. Father Lu told Lu Xue that he, like Lu Xue, had traveled here without any warning. These days, he had been looking for news about Lu Xue everywhere, but to no avail. He had never expected to meet her here today.
