Sometimes a small thing done inadvertently can change the lives of many people in an instant.

The story happened during the summer vacation of my senior year of high school. As soon as the college entrance examination results came out, some families were happy and some were sad. I am an optimistic person by nature. Being admitted to this university in this city is my ultimate goal. So, I

The college entrance examination was easy. Because of my credits, it was more than enough to go here.

On the third day after the college entrance examination results came out, a big thing happened.

A girl in our class who came from a poor family couldn't bear the blow because she failed in the college entrance examination, so she chose to jump from the window on the seventh floor in the middle of the night, ending her short life heroically and peacefully.

When the news came, the whole school was shocked.

A Pao, I, and a few of my usual classmates were the first ones to go to her house after hearing the news.

Her name is Wan Xian. During the three years of high school, we didn’t have much impression of her. She was the kind of girl who had poor grades and was usually taciturn. Her learning methods were very conservative and she held books and chewed them all day long.

That kind of person. I usually don’t have many friends, just one or two people I go with, and they are also the less active ones in the class.

We rarely interacted. The only time in my memory, she timidly asked me: Yi Zhizhi, can you teach me if there is any other way to answer this question?

When I showed her a simple method, I saw the surprise and envy in her eyes. In my impression, she was such a dull little girl with dark skin and thin figure.

I never thought for a moment that her mind was so fragile and her endurance was so low that she would choose such a heroic way to die.

When we rushed to her house and saw her little body covered with white cloth, lying there quietly, we all burst into tears.

I said to her in my heart: Wan Xian, there is no college entrance examination in heaven, and there is no saying that the college entrance examination can change your destiny. I believe you can breathe freely there.

A Pao, Zai Zi, Pang Pang and I stayed at Wan Xian's house, helping out with greetings from other places, and comforting Wan Xian's relatives with our simple words. I especially couldn't bear to see Wan Xian's tears, that kind of white

Although we have never experienced the sorrow of sending people to send people with black hair, we have felt the heartache.

Wan Xian's family is in poor condition. Both her parents have been laid off, so she can only make ends meet by running a stall. She also has young brothers and sisters and a grandmother who is bedridden all year round.

Wan Xian's parents planned to cremate Wan Xian's body, hire a boat to scatter it into the sea, and then ask the temple monks to save Wan Xian's soul.

After hearing this, we felt very sad. A Pao, Zai Zi, and Pang Pang and I discussed and pooled money to hold a small funeral ceremony for Wan Xian. But the pocket money of the four of us was quite limited. A Pao said: Either

Let’s call everyone on the school forum.

So, we started taking action. Chenxi, after seeing our post, contacted me quickly.

After the post was posted, forty or fifty students soon joined our team. None of us had much interaction with Wan Xian before, but I believe that sad emotion arises spontaneously in everyone. A person who once had a close relationship with us

Life breathing in the same heaven and earth suddenly disappears like this, no one can help but feel sad. Because we are the same kind.

We pooled some money together, bought wreaths and flowers, and made a portrait for Wan Xian. Then, in the narrow yard of Wan Xian's home, we held a small funeral around her ashes and portrait.

The courtyard of Wan Xian's house was crowded with classmates who came to see them off. I read the short story of Wan Xian's life with tears in my eyes. I condemned the cruelty of the college entrance examination with some hatred. In front of life, everything seems so...

Pale and weak.

Everyone cried. We were thinking not only of Wan Xian's departure, but also of the mountains of books and endless exercises, those lifeless slogans, and the college entrance examination that could determine our lives and even easily take away Wan Xian's life...

Those days of struggling for the college entrance examination are far away from us, and Wan Xian is also gone.

Such depressing emotions and such a heavy present make each of our hearts bleed.

When we saw Wan Xian off, I don’t know when Chen Xi walked beside me. That day, I was immersed in sadness, and I didn’t have any palpitating emotions towards Chen Xi beside me.

He was also very down-to-earth, and we chatted all the time.

He said: Yi Zhizhi, I never knew that death was so close to us.

I said: I never thought about it. We are still so young. I always thought that death was far away from us.

He said: Cherish every day you live, I never want to experience such depression again.

I said: Me too, we all need to cherish life.
