Xu Fan turned to the first page.

September 1994, sunny

Little Fanfan is like a little ball of flesh, which I love very much. But why does this chubby boy have so many wrinkles on his small face? His mother says it's because he's fat.

Xu Fan couldn't help but chuckle, as if he had seen something funny. He felt both uncomfortable and amused.

He continued flipping through the pages, and time continued to be delayed.

The father wrote: The crops haven't been harvested yet, but the weather is getting colder and colder. My son is lying in my arms, sleeping so well and so sweetly. We can't watch the outdoor TV tonight. This silly boy suddenly laughed in my arms.

Xu Fan stared blankly at the words, feeling an indescribable pain in his heart, as if needles were piercing his heart.

He remembered that his father left him and never came back, but he never imagined that his father had such a scene.

Xu Fan continued reading: His wife reminded him to fix the sewing machine pedal, but the brat cried for a while and insisted on eating cookies. Looking at the quiet house, he knew he had to visit relatives tomorrow to borrow some money.

Xu Fan suddenly felt a pang in his heart. These words, though seemingly simple, felt like needles piercing his heart, causing him such pain and helplessness.

He suddenly hated himself for insisting on eating cookies back then, and now he was complaining about his father.

He suddenly missed him.

I wonder where he is now, what he is doing and where he is in the world.

Looking at the contents of the diary, Xu Fan felt as if his heart was being pierced by needles. A tear couldn't help but slide down his cheek. Afraid that his mother would see it, he quickly turned around, wiped it away, and said to his mother, "Mom, I'll go to my room to look."

Xu Fan didn't try to stop him, nodded, and said, "Take this too."

Xu's mother handed the badge to Xu Fan, and then took out a very small pen from the box with "2B" written on it, and handed it to Xu Fan, saying, "And this too."

Xu Fan took it, then stood up and went back to his room.

The room was extremely quiet, and when he was all alone, Xu Fan suddenly felt an overwhelming sadness deep inside.

What he didn't know was that after he entered the room...

His mother also went back to her room and started crying bitterly. Her tears quickly soaked her pillow; perhaps she was also missing him.

Xu Fan missed her father, but how could she not miss her husband?

She and Xu Fan have relied on each other for so many years, and she rarely mentions him in front of her, because every time she thinks of him, both the child and she feel sad.

At this moment, she was overwhelmed with grief.

Xu Fan opened his diary again in the room. The handwriting in the diary was beautiful, and between the lines, one could see a father's care and love for his child.

As he looked at it, tears welled up in his eyes again, uncontrollably.

To be honest, Xu Fan hadn't felt this way in a long time, so he was really upset at the moment.

He saw the diary entry for the day, and he fell silent, ceasing his tears.

March 12, 2002, heavy rain.

Is it that the weather changes too quickly, or that people's hearts have grown too cold? I've seen the whole world, only to discover that there's another world at the end of the world.

March 13, 2002, heavy rain.

The rain never stopped. Perhaps it was the end of the world, or perhaps it was my time to leave. Looking at the child in my arms, I suddenly felt a pang of reluctance, but I am a soldier.

On March 14, 2002, it was still raining heavily.

Xiao Fan, when you grow up someday, you should be able to see this.

Please forgive your father for leaving without saying goodbye all these years. Some jobs just have to be done this way. I don't know if I'm alive or dead now, but I believe you've always loved me and loved me very much.

The sky is vast, and Dad wants to go see it, but you must remember one thing.

Cherish everything you have, because you may lose it all in the future. Remember that!

In the early morning of March 15, 2002, the sky cleared.

Before I left, I kissed your forehead as a farewell.

I've thought about it for a long time, and I still want to tell you, if one day you achieve...

Xu Fan was stunned when he saw the unfinished last line of the diary, because the last word was "obtain".

Does it mean "to obtain" or "to acquire"?

Does it mean obtaining the system or something else? If so, what should be done?

He didn't understand his father's diary entries, but he knew very well that they must have been written in a very urgent and anxious time, and that the father stopped writing before even finishing the last sentence.

Xu Fan was stunned, feeling overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information, yet completely bewildered, as if he hadn't grasped anything.

It seemed that her father's words had a hidden meaning, but she didn't know what they meant.

He didn't understand the sentence in his father's diary: cherish everything you have now, because one day you might lose everything, and in the end, you might gain the system.

Could it be that Father knew he would obtain the system, or even knew that one day he would lose it?

For a moment, Xu Fan was extremely conflicted, but he really couldn't figure out the key to it.

Just then, his gaze suddenly fell on the sentence his father had just spoken.

The sky is so big, Dad wants to go see it.

There's another thing: my father is a soldier, but I've never heard him mention that he was a soldier. Maybe it's a problem with my memory, but my mother has never mentioned it either.

There might be some problems here, but in any case, Xu Fan finished reading all the diaries, and the sadness and longing in his heart were beyond words.

In any case, he finally clenched his fist and murmured, "Dad, no matter where you are, I will find you, I promise I will."

After saying that, he took a deep breath, carefully put the diary in his cabinet, and then took out the badge and the 2B pencil to read it carefully.

The words on the badge were very clear, but Xu Fan suddenly froze.

My father wasn't Chinese, so neither I nor my mother knew he was a soldier because he wasn't a Chinese soldier.

Where in China is that?

A flurry of thoughts flashed through Xu Fan's mind, but just then, the phone rang, briefly interrupting his thoughts. He looked at the incoming call and was momentarily stunned.

Get the perfect music system at the start

===Chapter 596 But I Miss My Daddy===

"Mr. Xu, the movie's total box office has already exceeded 300 million in just seven hours."

The call was from Han Zilu, which was undoubtedly good news, even encouraging. Xu Fan was also excited and said, "Very good, keep it up, and contact major cinemas across the country to see if we can increase the screening rate."

At this point, Xu Fan suddenly remembered that the film's screening rate seemed to be quite high, so he asked, "By the way, how's the occupancy rate?"

Han Zilu said on the phone: "According to first-hand statistics, the first screening had an attendance rate of only 73%, the second screening had an attendance rate of nearly 89%, and the third screening had an attendance rate of 100%."

When Han Zilu uttered the data as 100%, Xu Fan couldn't help but be shocked.

He remembered that in the world described by the system, this movie was also popular, but not to this extent.

After much thought, Xu Fan managed to find some possibilities.

First of all, although both are "Dying to Survive", the actors and the real-life figures are different. Furthermore, although they are both parallel worlds, the entertainment industry in this world is quite different from that in the other world.

The lack of a market for this makes it easier to evoke a strong visual response from viewers.

Secondly, the audience generated by the production itself is relatively stronger than that of the production team in the parallel world.

After participating in both the New Year's Eve Gala and the Spring Festival Gala, Xu Fan's fame has reached a level that few can match nationwide. This is not Xu Fan's boast, but rather his feeling.

Of course, this cannot be said to be 100%, but one thing is 100% certain: the traffic-generating effect brought by Xu Fan is definitely fantastic.

After that, the main point is that Xu Fan's film was no longer his debut, but his second.

The first film, "Lost and Love," was met with skepticism from many, but those doubts were ultimately proven wrong, and the film's impact was truly remarkable. At this point, the production of the second film was met with high expectations from most people.

Then, regarding the film itself, the acting skills of Xu Fan, Xu Shan, and even Xiao Zihan and Liu Tianwang were all very impressive, to the point that they brought each character in the film to life.

Therefore, word-of-mouth naturally develops.

The result was that suddenly more people started buying movie tickets to watch movies.

But lastly, there is one more very important point: medicine is a topic that concerns countless people across the country. In addition, it is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and it seems that watching a movie has become a must for many urban residents on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

However, watching this movie on the first day of the Lunar New Year was quite tear-jerking.

However, hearing that the occupancy rate was 100% still impressed him, so he said to Han Zilu, "It really exceeded my expectations. The movie screening cannot have any problems."

Han Zilu said on the phone, "Don't worry, Mr. Xu, there are no problems on my end. All staff are ready at any time, and we will deal with any problems as soon as possible."

Xu Fan nodded, preparing to hang up, but suddenly remembered something and said, "Don't go home alone tonight, come to my place instead. It's so lonely at home with just me and my mom."

Han Zilu wanted to refuse, but in the end she smiled and said, "Then I'll have to bother you, Auntie."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Fan stopped thinking about the badge and the pencil. After putting them in the box, he turned on his computer to check the news online.

My gaze swept across the trending topics on Weibo, taking in the sights.

Goodness, it's all about "Dying to Survive," all sorts of opinions, mostly praise and touching stories.

Of course, there will be some fairly positive reviews, but more importantly, there will also be a few haters' comments.

Various questions and doubts also frequently appear online.

But it really won't cause any big waves, because so many people are praising it that it will soon drown out any questions.

Xu Fan happened to see one, but before he could read it carefully, the message disappeared when the network refreshed.

For a moment, I was filled with many emotions.

Just then, he saw that the comments under his previous Weibo post promoting "Dying to Survive" were countless and increasing every second.

"If 'Lost and Love' is about the helplessness of life, loneliness, and the hateful human traffickers, then 'Dying to Survive' is about the cruelty of reality, birth, aging, sickness, death, and the courage behind despair. In fact, we all live a miserable life, but I believe that everyone has a time to be brave, and can be even braver. Thank you, Brother Fan, for letting me see such a movie."

"What is reality? Reality is that there is only one disease in this world: poverty, and there is no cure for it. But what's even more terrifying about reality is that some people are born with this disease, and it's something that can't be improved later in life. No matter how hard that person tries, they are still powerless in the face of reality. That's reality. Brother Fan sees it very clearly. This movie is really good."

"I've already bought tickets for the third viewing. Please forgive me for taking tickets from those who couldn't get them, because the movie really moved me. Fan Ge, I came to your comment section specifically to say that it was really great. No, one word isn't enough. It was so great, so great, so really great."

"Wake up, humans! Fan Ge's songs are not only good, but think about it carefully. Aren't all of Fan Ge's songs reasonable? And right now, aren't all of Fan Ge's movies telling us what reality is? Moreover, what he often brings us is courage and hope, isn't it?"

"Thank you, Brother Fan, thank you, Brother Yong. My father used to be a patient. Just like that old lady said, he ate all the food we had, sold the house, and borrowed from relatives, but he still couldn't afford the medicine. In the end, he jumped off a building. Fortunately, everything is better now, but I miss my dad!"

Xu Fan looked at the various comments under his Weibo post, countless messages constantly appearing, and he read them for a long time.

But when he saw the sign that read "I miss my dad!", he froze.

The thoughts in his mind couldn't help but surge up again, because he suddenly felt that what the fan said was very true.
