The Most Simple Wish

From the stage to the dressing room behind the scenes, the only way to go is the 20 meter long corridor. Compared with the gorgeous front desk, the corridor behind the scenes is full of stale smell, and the smell of all kinds of cosmetics is full of inside. The performance just now is very physical. Once the exercise stops, more sweat will come out from the pores. Tao Huizhen opens her mouth and breathes.

As Tao Huizhen walked back, she could not wait to take off the crown on her head. It was very uncomfortable to wear. At the same time, Tao Huizhen browses the photo wall on both sides of the corridor, on which nearly 100 photos are posted. Since she didn't come to the small dance group, the photo wall has existed, recording the events of the small dance group and the dancing posture of her predecessors.

This year, no one remembers to paste photos on the photo wall. In the past, the corridor was always filled with actors from various dressing rooms, but now it is much colder. Because the new dressing room has been opened on the second floor, many dance troupes and teams have moved to the second floor, and Tao Huizhen's little dance troupe will move in the near future.

Her hand glides over the photo wall. Last summer, in the southwest and northwest regions, the photo of their little dance troupe's public service performance came to her eyes. Tao Huizhen stares at the photo and is shocked. She can't help but fall into memory

Last summer, around July 2005, Tao Huizhen went to Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Gansu, Ningxia, Xinjiang and other places for public welfare performances with the small dance troupe. It was this performance that made Tao Huizhen become a popular dancer today from an insignificant figure.

As an actor, Tao Huizhen deserves the applause of the audience. When she performed her first solo dance, she realized that the warm applause was for her. This is a heavy affirmation.

It was in a small mountain village full of loess. After the performance, it was hot at that time. Tao Huizhen was enjoying the cool under the tree behind the performance car. At a glance, it was almost a scene of yellow sand all over the sky. The village was full of ruins. Several children surrounded Tao Huizhen.

"Sister, you are a good dancer." There is a little boy squinting, avoiding the sun, looking at Tao Huizhen's face. With the same dry wood accent, he stared at Tao Huizhen for a while and said, "elder sister, are you tired? You look red. "

"I'm not tired, just a little thirsty. Do you drink water? I'll get mineral water from the car. " Tao Huizhen bites her lips. The term "elder sister" is particularly strange. It is more like an adult's term for a woman of older age. Tao Huizhen thinks that a few children should call her "little aunt".

In line with the idea of doing as the Romans do, Tao Huizhen didn't change their "name". The elder sister was the elder sister. She looked at several children one by one, pressed the Loess on the ground with her hand, and was ready to stand up to get water. At this time, a little girl handed a water cup to Tao Huizhen: "elder sister, I have water here. You can drink it."

"Thank you." Tao Huizhen blushed with a smile. Take the water cup. The previous little boy immediately asked: "what is mineral water?"

Tao Huizhen's heart was shocked, and her eyes were suddenly staring at the small mountain village. At this time, Tao Huizhen's thought suddenly changed 360 degrees. Everything in the small mountain village is very different from that in the city. These are two worlds. After a moment's silence, Tao Huizhen explained: "mineral water is drinking water containing certain minerals and trace elements... Poof..."

Opening the lid, Tao Huizhen took a big drink from the little girl's water. At that moment, a sand smell irritated Tao Hui Zhen, and his tongue remained a bit of sand. She had never drunk such a bad water.

"Elder sister, you are not used to our water, are you?"

"What kind of water is this?" Tao Huizhen asked.

A child pointed to a water cellar not far away: "it's stored there."

Tao Huizhen looks up at the scorching sun. It seldom rains here. The drought is serious and soil erosion is serious. Although the water in the cellar is not good to drink, people here have to rely on the only source of water. She spat that saliva and was immediately sucked dry by the sand on the ground. Tao Huizhen calmed down and drank half a glass of water. Several children stare at Tao Huizhen and gulp down the water. There is a little surprise in their dark eyes

Tao Huizhen spat sand in her mouth and said with a smile, "why don't you have class? Is it time to go to grade one or two? "

"The nearest primary school is 100 miles away. Donkeys have to run for a day. Of course, we can't afford to run donkeys." The little girl is also bold, ran to Tao Huizhen's side to sit down. With dry hands, I feel Tao Huizhen's dancing clothes

A hundred Li. Hearing this, Tao Huizhen opened her eyes wide. When she was in primary school, her home was less than 500 meters away from the school. How many mornings was the distance that their children hated? I wish the school would be closed one step away.

Looking at the yellow sand, sand dunes and earth hills, the school here is so far away that children can't go to school, so that they spend precious time here in vain.

I found that Tao Huizhen's eyes were firm and distant. Several children sat beside Tao Huizhen and squinted at the distance together. They looked farther and farther until they couldn't reach the place. They were thinking, what's behind that? It's impossible. It's still full of loess, isn't it?

Tao Huizhen saw a kind of desire from the children's eyes. If she didn't ask about the school, or if she didn't stare at a piece of yellow sand, it would not arouse the children's thinking. She got up and patted the soil on her body, and said to them, "you wait. Elder sister will bring you something."

A group of children watched as Tao Huizhen ran back into the car.

Tao Huizhen took out a book from her car. It's her latest book on hand, the old man and the sea. She read this book in junior high school, which aroused her deep thinking. The old man's perseverance is shocking. Tao Huizhen also thinks that human nature has no limit, and she should constantly break through herself.

Recently, she took this book with her to read it. If you look at the same book in different periods, you can see different ways. She gave the old man and the sea to several children and said, "this book is for you."

A group of children took books and couldn't wait to open them. They had never seen such a clean and exquisite book. In fact, there were no books in this sandy village. They had never seen anyone's home with books. Tao Huizhen sat among a group of children and accompanied them to turn the book around.

At this time, the little girl pointed to the words "the old man and the sea" and "beauty, Hemingway", raised her eyes and asked, "sister, what do these words mean? We don't know any of them... "

"Don't you read?"

A group of children shook their heads.

Tao Huizhen felt her chest shaking. Her face became pale. She touched the book cover and noticed the children's confused eyes, as if they had done something wrong. The world is very big, but their world is very small, because if you don't know the words, you can't know what the world looks like. In front of them, there will always be sand all over the sky.

After the public performance, Tao Huizhen told Wen Xiu what she saw and heard when she went out this time. Wenxiu was shivering with cold when she listened to her endless narration. China's summer is Australia's winter, so Wenxiu's hands are frostbitten.

Taking back her thoughts, Tao Huizhen touches the picture on the wall, which is a picture of her and the children. I don't know what they are like now. Are they still running around in the small village.

Tao Huizhen wiped the sweat drops on her face with her fingers, gathered the hair in front of her forehead behind her ears, and started to think about the next thing as she walked towards the dressing room.
